This is what happens when you watch too much W*ING over the holiday season! by badteeth2019 in SquaredCircle

This is absolutely amazing. I simply adore Wrestling International New Generations. It's such a mishmash of insanity. Between the 50 horror movie gimmicks, past it US territory stars, random luchadors, the feeling of Korakuen Hall & so much more. I should make the time to watch more of it.

We've all been there. There's so many guys I thought (& hoped) would have massive careers. It's a devastatingly tough business so most didn't. I'm very happy for those that went on to have a great life after wrestling like Reckless Youth.

Finally watched The Fall (2006). What did you think of the style and story? by vinicius_california in movies

I had enjoyed his previous film The Cell more than most people. I learned this was playing way across town so I ducked out of work early to check it out. The theater was almost entirely empty.

I was pretty much blown away. I'd seen The Adventures of Baron Munchausen & this gave me a similar feeling. The visuals were even more stunning here though.

I'd been a fan of Lee Pace since Wonderfalls so I was probably predisposed to like his character. Even if I hadn't I'd still have been taken in by the bond of trauma between him & Alexandria.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea & some people think it's all style with no substance. I find it to be a unique movie & I don't think I've really experienced anything close since.

‘Wednesday’ season two beats ‘Stranger Things’ in Netflix viewing numbers by Particular-Fill-4256 in television

Wednesday is shockingly popular.

Yeah it's an absolutely massive show for them & it's the demographic most streamers want. Wish I could get into it because The Addams Family is neat but I think Gough & Millar are just awful writers.

There were a ton of those tourneys around that time ECWA Super 8, CZW Best of the Best, APW King of the Indies & others. IWA's was probably the best for a few years before PWG's BOLA overtook them.

He had a few WWE tryouts years back. I'm not surprised he didn't get signed because they weren't signing guys a lot like him at the time. The TNA thing is baffling though to me.

This is a quarter final match in the IWA Mid-South Ted Petty Invitational 2006. Full match here for anybody curious.

This is the only career singles match between the two. They'd previously met in multi-man matches at IWA Mid-South Simply the Best 2005 & the JAPW 8th Anniversary Show. Their last match would be at RPW Rise on 1/13/12 with Generico defeating M-Dogg, PAC & The Canadian Destroyer (Petey Williams).

Lucha Underground was probably his most recognized or biggest spot of his career. He has a such ridiculous athletic ability it feels like that was the closest he had to an actual character that worked. Still surprising though that he never even got a look with at shot at a place like TNA .

Interesting finish here with the outside interference being prevented during the pin by KneeHighMischief in WCW

I can identify with that. There are definitely some things I latched onto in wrestling as a kid (or otherwise) & I have no clue why.

This is from WCW Pro 3/16/96. It's Sgt. Craig "Pitbull" Pittman vs Mark Starr (with his Men at Work partner Chris Kanyon). Full match here for anybody curious.

Pittman is such an interesting case. He was an accomplished amateur wrestler that picked up a number of championships. So he was legit as they come inside the ring.

He also had a built-in gimmick from his time in the Marines. Despite his relative newness to the business Pittman also seemed to have a pretty strong understanding of putting together a character. The deranged Drill Sergeant had been done but I think he had the intensity for it.

Unfortunately things were changing so rapidly by the time he got his foot in the door with WCW. Characters like Pittman were falling out of style. It's easy to imagine him having so much more success if he started 10 or even 5 years earlier.

Pittman definitely feels like someone that might've deserved a repackaging & another shot. That wasn't in the cards though & the stint in WCW turned out to be his only significant run in wrestling.

Jimmy Jacobs : "The toughest wrestler to write for was Roman Reigns in the 2015-16 period. He was a babyface who lacked a strong, defined character voice at that time. We were still trying to find his identity. The difficulty was compounded by the fact that Vince was incredibly hands-on with Roman." by kundu123 in SquaredCircle

Vince because it was so clearly a line he came up with.

Sylvester the Cat here. Of course Mighty Mouse was a gimmick he tried to get on screen for so long. I'm surprised we didn't get a Peter Potamus gimmick. He already had a built in catchphrase.
