IMO, looks like Global Wars is going to be a better card than War of the Worlds. Would rather see Tana or Nakamura instead of Liger for the ROH Championship, but all good. First time at a live card since 99.
 
Same expression......every time :lol

I'm actually surprised there isn't a Rusev meme out :lol
 
Had my wisdom teeth taken out so I had a bunch of free time to just watch some wrestling. Finally decided to watch the much hyped Tanahashi vs. Suzuki match from 2012. Suzuki owned the match with his offense and selling but I dont think would go five stars with it. Probably more **** 1/4- 1/2 for me.
 
Tweeted Club a couple weeks ago about where he's been..Said he's retired from NT, his wrestling career is taking off, and he's supposed to get his first singles title run in June or July..

Agree, still hyped though
 
For those who aren't familiar to "Lana". She was one of the FSU cowgirls with Jen Sterger.
 
^Really is no lie. Entertained me from start to finish. Only grip is that show should have choke slammed or ko punched floyd after the match. Gotta protect the business as DC would say, can't just let a outsider win like that.

Pretty much, but that's been Big Show's role his whole career, a spectacle cause of his sheer size used to make anyone look good

Speaking of Floyd. One of the better podcasts I heard of late was Jim Ross and Mauro Ranallo (Showtime Boxing Commentar. Has roots in Calgary Stampede as well)

They spoke about Ali and Floyd. Some good talks about Floyd. BUt I know I am asking for far too much for you to listen. But here is the link:
