Found the iconic shirt. If I ever get a Hyundai I'm going to scribble "onky" next to the logo in tribute.

Don't tell me you haven't heard of the conscience of the indy scene.

His other gimmick was being Vince Mcmahon's illegitimate son, he'd wear the Nexus N shirt with an "igga" added on. Yes, really.

Nick Gage vs Norman Smiley: King of the Deathmatch

The N*ggataker vs Blue Kane

There's only been two Indy PPVs I ever paid for and they were both just to see one match, one of those was LA Park vs Masato Tanaka. I love him.

I skim through the Triplemanias most years with no context or knowledge of the scene at all, there's usually something that'll catch my interest, this one looks dire. It will take a hell of a forklift staredown to stop me fast forwarding through Nemeth/Alberto!

I'm not making the case that it was the best match but it's a fitting thread to remind ourselves that this happened, and it was beautiful. The original Rainmaker!

Assuming this is Battleground Pro? They generally run the Arena, and seem to be the only US company booking Onita. They're run by Rob "lol ill pretend u said 18" Feinstein.

Yes, it's another ECW reunion. Check out the full card if you haven't heard of it yet. It's absolutely brutal. Trigger warning: it contains Al Snow vs Shane Douglas, and that might not even crack the top three worst matches on the show! https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=370461

I'm in for Crazy/Tajiri though.

Can’t be worse than seeing one of her dads films.

She probably can't appreciate all the films thats sole purpose is to make Milla look sexy and cool like I do, but Event Horizon is (somehow) actually good. Show some respect.

 I wonder how much money they spent on this stupid contraption? The first one hilariously doesn't even have Khali in it because he got injured in the run up I think.

You know what goes great together? Big lumbering idiots and a match type that relies on athleticism.

It's back and probably in hilariously low rent indy contraption form!

Triple H vs Sting was amazing, for years one of my biggest regrets as a fan was not making it over to see that match and Sting in that type of environment. I'm thankful All In helped me get over it.

The Sandman vs Sabu Stairway to Hell is always one of the first that comes to mind for me. A compelling car crash, Sabu breaks his jaw about half way through and is quite visibly in horrific pain, Sandman's losing a ridiculous amount of blood stuck with a barbed wire crown for the last minutes. The finish is just one cane shot, which sounds pretty weak on paper, I often watch the kendo sticks being used and wonder if it actually hurts... not this time, oof! It's an awful, uncomfortable mess that I watch semi regularly.

Sid vs Goldberg from Halloween Havoc 99 is a good one too. I love throwing it on with no context (fuck you if you try to add some), why is Sid already pissing blood? Why is he valiantly fighting from underneath? We may never know, but it is fun AF.

I'm six episodes in to Warrior. It says it's based on the writings of Bruce Lee, and he must have been about 13 when he wrote this because it's all fighting and sex scenes. I like it. If it keeps up it will join Banshee and Spartacus: Boobs & Sand in the upper echelon of guilty pleasure shows. Thank you, Cinemax!

I remember doing the towel trick to temporarily bring a 360 back to life and thinking I was going to start a fire. I'm glad there's a process out there even more silly and demeaning.

As much as I appreciate the world design I could never really get into other games in that genre. I love Prey though, because aliens. Realising who Aaron Ingram's voice actor was was the most I've popped at hearing a voice since Kevin Sorbo turned up as Hercules in God of War!

For the price they're asking, these look like they've turned out as good as you could hope for, cleaned up real nice. Will definitely pick this up for 2 and 3 down the line. Anniversary (like the first RE remake) has made 1 obsolete for me.

We couldn't save anywhere back on PS1, right? That alone is a game changer.

Alan Wake 2 let me down in the end. I was in love with it early on, I felt like I could have played the early Saga parts forever, solving creepy cult murders in the perfectly atmospheric woods. Then her family history started taking more precedence and I quickly lost more and more interest, and got fed up of the mind place stuff. Wake's parts just never got off the ground at all for me, its ideas of "horror" are hilarious, "is that a shadow or a taken? I guess you won't know until you get close... BOO! GOT YOU! HAHAHAHA!", fuck off. We Sing was an incredible moment though. I still love you, Remedy, but you need to do better when you're releasing in the same year as King Resi 4.

Started Telltale's The Expanse earlier, it's great, really captures the spirit of the show and definitely chose the right character to follow (Beltas 4 life), but holy shit, it's going to be short, done the first three chapters in about two and a half hours. I've got the version with the bonus chapter, which I'm hoping is going to be mutiple hours of Avasarala exquisitely roasting cunts to get a little more value back.

It's time to right the wrongs of Extreme Rules 2022 and do the Gunther vs Sheamus strap match!

It would be beautiful. My chest and back are stinging just thinking about it.

The Evil Within is about half as good as Resi 4, so it's a good time! It has a lot of flaws and the most weirdly unfit (even by horror games standards) protagonist ever, but it has a lot of style and a bit of the old Mikami magic shines through. There's a lot of nice nods towards the classic RE games too.

The second one is crap, unnecessary open world parts and side missions, ugh.

As long as all the historical content stays available somewhere, I'm happy. The Network's been one of the best things to ever happen as a fan, an impossibly generous dream deal for a tenner a month. Would be crushed to lose the old stuff. Hopefully it's all going to Netflix, but if not I'd still be happy to have the option for getting Netflix for new stuff and keep subscribing to the Network as it is right now for the archives. It's that good a deal.

Putting the shitty, worthless fake belt on the line in the Rumble itself makes it infinitely less exciting or interesting.

Is it infinitely less exciting or interesting than them just announcing tonight that that's what they're going to do on Saturday though? Because that's my point. That goes for whatever way they plan to resolve making a new champion. I'd love to go into a PPV as blind as I did back then. If there's real world panic and chaotic shuffling about off screen, I want it on screen too. Give me madness.

It'd be be bad for ratings tonight and maybe not the best for buys/whatever metric on Saturday but If we are getting a title vacated I wish they'd just go full No Mercy 2007 and do nothing to address the situation until the Rumble. I loved that PPV, didn't have a clue what was going to happen going in. Imagine if the Rumble match started with the ring annuncer saying that "this match is NOT for a title opportunity at WrestleMania. It's for the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!". Give me something spontaneous and exciting.

I'm enjoying this stuff at the moment. It's not real Blue Mountain, I can actually afford this now and again, it's still about twice the price of my normal go to though. Tastes lovely, smooth as silk and smells even better, I'm sniffing the bag like a pervert every time I'm in the kitchen.
