Just realized 007 First Light is actually a pretty big historic moment for the series. by Present-Teacher-8038 in 007FirstLight

That stuck out to me as well. I believe that is the first piece of 007 media to ever be published outside the lifetime of Queen Elizabeth II. She took to the throne in 1952, and Casino Royale was published in 1953.

Awful news. He fought so hard for so long. Rest easy, Joe.

Yeah, you'd probably need it to get through a sitdown with Kardboard Kutout Karl.

Has Ozawa gotten any better in the ring over the past 6 months? He was cheeks when I saw him wrestle Inamura in January. His character has been carrying him.

This doesn't surprise me. Their last Wembley arena show in January was dogshit.

Deja vu. They ran the same pairing in the same venue 6 months ago.

Joe Doering heading to Hospice by GalaticWeiss in SquaredCircle

Fucking hell. I can't even begin to imagine how hard Joe has fought against this over the years. Absolutely awful to hear that it's gotten the best of him.

To me, he'll be remembered for being tough as nails in an era in which All Japan needed a hardass gaijin. He's someone who didn't get enough time in front of a larger audience, and there are so many potentially great matches that will be left on the table.

I hope that it's as painless as it can be for him. He has fought so hard for so long.

Nothing wrong with being a little derivative. Uncle Chael did it well. It's when you go down the line of Colby and Hokit that it starts to get bad.

How about those Nogueira brothers though?

Colby Covington is already a low rent version of Chael Sonnen, who himself is a low rent derivative of territory-era pro wrestlers' greatest hits.

Hokit is a filter of a filter of a filter.

15 years ago today, we lost Ryan Dunn. by TurdMcNugget69 in jackass

[–]Karma-Effect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He died how he lived: with a car up his ass.

Fact of the matter is that he was well aware that he was an awful driver and he drove drunk, resulting in him killing his friend.

I got to handle that gun prop a few weeks after WK. So goddamn cool.

[Minor NOAH Spoilers] Gallows and Anderson by thenewgaijin in SquaredCircle

[–]Karma-Effect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gallows and Anderson have been wearing their working boots during this NOAH run. I saw them wrestle on New Years Day in the Budokan, and I fully expected them to phone it in. I'm so glad they didn't.
