The Wrestling Thread

[Gamerforlife]

Nice response. I was an ECW fan back in the day (in the window Raven was there before he got popular in WCW). I'll check those out. Heard similar recommendations on a few podcast.

Yeah, I just watched ROH from last week. I was pretty impressed actually. Looked better than the recent clips of TNA I've seen. Looks like the free access get you the newest TV content on Thursday (comes on TV Saturday or Sunday before). I don't get those local channels it broadcast on so I'll be checking it out this on Thursdays. I actually know both guys on the card for the main event, AJ Styles and Jay Brisco. Looking forward to that. Aired tonight for folks with TV access.

Very cool they do cross overs with New Japan Pro. Are those also televised/free on the site?

Because I haven't tuned in for so long, I'll check out WEE and TNA this week. Should be interested

Edit: Seems the crossovers are PPV listed as Global Wars.

Yeah, the crossover stuff will be on ROH's site if it's an ROH event, which I think Global Wars is. To see New Japan shows featuring Ring of Honor talent though you'd need to subscribe to New Japan's streaming site here:

The big thing is the Bullet Club, a bunch of American wrestlers who are kind of taking over New Japan. AJ Styles is part of it, and him and some other bullet club members sometimes compete in Ring of Honor. What's funny is they seem to be babyfaces in Ring of Honor, but are totally heel when wrestling in New Japan. Over there, they're like the invading, cheating Americans, but any time AJ or The Young Bucks are on a Ring of Honor show they get treated by the crowd like heroes.

Brisco and AJ had a really good match that you'll enjoy. I'm a fan of both guys

Here's a taste of Lucha Underground with their first episode:



and a bunch of freely available matches from El Rey Network's youtube channel:



That doesn't have ALL their matches, but it does have some of their better ones. Grave Consequences is a particularly good match that ended one of Lucha Underground's best feuds to date. It's a pretty brutal and violent match though, not for the weak of heart

Oh, and here's a taste of the AXS tv show (you might have to switch the video quality to 720).

If you grow to enjoy ROH, the yearly subscription of $60 for all their TV and VOD is well worth the $5 a month it comes out to. You also get 15% off anything in their store and around 20% off VOD/PPVs (anything less than a year old isn't free for members, so new stuff is always added as the calendar goes on).

New Japan World is fairly easily translated through Google Chrome. I haven't signed up myself (just a lack of time) but I have many friends who have it and love it.

Jesus Christ, Lucha Underground is on fire. They are so freaking good right now it's not even funny.

I heard LU some fans talk about an old wrestling show called Ring Ka King, so I'm gonna check that out too.

But seriously, I feel sorry for wrestling fans not watching Lucha Underground. They are SERIOUSLY missing out. This is THE wrestling show right now. Forget NXT. Forget TNA. Forget WWE. Forget ROH. Lucha is KING.

Yeah, a buddy of mine and I started watching LU recently. Really good stuff.

Gold Dust is on board to support "Keith Apicary" joining the WWE.

What happened to Chikaraa and guerilla wrestling , don't they ever have a plan to grow?
Its hard to believe they can sustain a business with such a small fan base.

Some of the coolest stuff I've seen in Lucha Underground so far:
