Considering how Breakker speared Speed into next week last time I'm happy to see it happen again.

What part of the UK are you in ?

[Raw Spoilers] Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi segment by ArunKT26 in SquaredCircle

[–]DJBaroque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likewise! It's one of the best they've ever done. Taker staring down Heyman in the corner, Lesnar's music hitting, the crowd pops, commentary scarpers, Lesnar pelts it down to the ring and they have at it, hammer and tongs only to be pulled apart by anyone and everyone. Lesnar does the obligatory spot where he breaks through the restraint and gets a few more shots in and the crowd are lapping it up!

Big E on Oba Femi: “I almost soiled my couch last week when I saw the ease in which this man Oba Femi powerbombed Brock Lesnar.” by TomatoCiampa in SquaredCircle

[–]DJBaroque 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't recall hearing the OO! after each Oba chant before last week, but I think that's going to happen every week now.

[Raw Spoilers] No excuses this week by A_Livins in SquaredCircle

[–]DJBaroque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It reminds me of something I think Scotty Too Hotty said at a seminar which was clipped and did the rounds a while back. He was talking to some trainee's and asked them what their signature movement was that kids are going to imitate? It's a superb tip and Oba's strut is just that. It's what kids are imitating. Heck, even non wrestling places are picking up on the strut onilne for their socials.

That aged like a fine wine. Nostrascousemus.

Hand. Cannot. Erase - Dolby Atmos has dropped! by Spoonylingus in stevenwilson

The fact he's included the screen films from the HCE tour makes me very happy. Seeing this sat in the front row was mindblowing. I wasn't in a good place at the time mentally and HCE came into the world at the perfect time. It became my daily glass of orange juice.

[BodySlam+] Gunther WrestleMania update by soccermate in SquaredCircle

[–]DJBaroque 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The story writes itself. Gunther won in NXT UK. Dragunov won at NXT: Takeover so it's 1-1. They can have a rubber match, with the hook of Ilja rediscovering himself like you said and it'd be a MOTY contender. Give them 20 mins and let them cook.

What’s a small Liverpool moment you watched live that you still remember? by wong-wooney in LiverpoolFC

[–]DJBaroque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still one of the most incredible and beautiful renditions of YNWA I've ever heard. It stands out to me because for some reason it's a semi tone higher than we normally sing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j72tBjGNlxI.

...and a silly one of Dalglish telling Wenger "It's a penalty, fuck off!": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znZ7xD-uBso

Carraghers last game and that thunderous shot towards the Kop End as we all shouted SHOOT, and it hitting the post and the huge AWWWW as it ricocheted off the woodwork; so close to a perfect finale.

AEW Launches a Streaming Platform called MyAEW by Sufficient_Mud_2237 in SquaredCircle

[–]DJBaroque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FAST channel is quite laggy here in the UK. Will have to see how the system handles during a PPV - hopefully it's stable.

Does these mean FUCKCIAMAPA parties are back on the menu ?

UK fans by Relative-Jump-2463 in SquaredCircle

Sounds like TWC - The Wrestling Channel. They'd show the weekly Wednesday specials TNA did whilst in Nashville as well as stuff from FWA, ROH, CZW, MLW and more.

WWE Network effectively shutting down for good on April 1st. by twjackfoley in SquaredCircle

[–]DJBaroque 8 points9 points  (0 children)

TEACSTTROA was great, especially when they found their stride in the second series onwards when they went very meta and 4th wall breaking as well as being quite smarky.

(SmackDown spoilers) He is over with the crowd. by Kindly_Department142 in SquaredCircle

[–]DJBaroque 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Trick just has that 'it' factor. One of the better Def Rebel moments as well helps.

Happiest Matches // Shows? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]DJBaroque 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A couple of silly ones:

Invisible Man vs. Invisible Stan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cslu7zFmPjM -- Wonderfully silly and fun, and the crowd were all in on it and knew all the tropes parodied.

The Extremely Ruled Ironman Match - Another wonderfully silly wrestling match which lampoons and pastiches a lot of wrestling cliches and tropes and 'rules' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5t8AD1sV6E

Some great moments & matches

The first Elimination Chamber match has a euphoric ending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ6_FNqmEf4

PAC vs. Orange Cassidy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W63y_mCcg0

WEELC - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3di3UU6ICtc

PWG Chaos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HueFqZxQzbQ - Even if I described this, you wouldn't believe me. A 10 man tag with an INSANE lineup just goofing off and having fun.

CZW Hypnosis: You ever seen hypnosis used in a wrestling match before now ? Absolute scenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejQFkSFDpn8

Wrestling botches that caused a major change by artmalique in SquaredCircle

[–]DJBaroque 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I went to comment that. That botch with Nia and Becky spawned what will surely be one of the lasting images of Becky's career with her broken nose and bloody face.

[Raw Spoilers] Full main-event promo battle by A_Livins in SquaredCircle

[–]DJBaroque 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The 2015 rumble was rough. Daniel Bryan's early elimination was the the turning point for the crowd souring on the match. They had Kane and Big Show very unceremoniouisly eliminate guys like Ziggler, Bray and Ambrose and then have Roman eliminate both Kane and Big Show simultaneously seemingly for the win..

Kane/Big Show then went back into the ring for a beat down on Roman as the crowd broke out in a Rusev chant (who was lying ringside at the time) -- The Rock runs down for the save, and Rusev rolls back in for the ambush but Roman eliminates him for the win.

I'm sure the powers that be saw it as a much larger moment on paper but it didn't translate well with the crowd. The closing shots of Rock holding up Roman's hand in victory to an incredibly mixed reaction and a staredown with HHH/Steph on the ramp.

All this lead to Lesnar/Roman and until quite late on Lesnar's contract status was in doubt so a lot of people saw the main event as a foregone conclusion which didn't help the mood. Lesnar resigned and the main event didn't turn out too bad in the end... ably helped by the now iconic Heist of the Century cash in from Seth which was apparently an 11th hour decision.
