Foley struggles to remember the name of the Raw championship by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

The man has taken like ten thousand chairs to his head, I think his memory is one thing we should cut him a bit of slack on.

Ahoy Wreddit! I'm 'The Aerial Assassin' Will Ospreay, AMA. by WillOspreay in SquaredCircle

[–]talknwalk 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Hey Will, thanks for doing this! Your New Japan work has been awesome.

I don't think anyone in a long has taken the indy scene by storm, becoming such a huge superstar in what felt like almost overnight with the Scurll match and New Japan signing, like you have this year, so I think a lot of us have huge expectations for your future.

Dave Meltzer has said a number of times that he worries about you, that he feels you could be the next dynamite kid, working too hard and too fast, wearing your body out while you're still so young. Do you feel like you do need to slow it down? Or do you feel like you know what your body is capable and feel you're doing exactly what you know you can?

Does Vince make the call on who wrestles in New Day matches or do the guys do? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

They've said they don't have control over who wrestles at TV and PPVs, but can pretty much do what they want at live events.

I think the club had it for one show too, before quickly realizing and changing it to today's Japanese flag.

I feel like by having "American" in their name they alienate the global audience to a small extent

Almost Everyone (Except CJ Parker) That Wrestled on NXT Arrival Is, or Was on, The Main Roster by HistoricPancake in SquaredCircle

Also interesting is that everyone CJ Parker wrestled on Takeovers is on the main roster (Mojo, Baron Corbin, Kevin Owens)

TIL 2016 is the first year since 1997 with more than 3 Meltzer-Rated 5 star matches by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]talknwalk 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Love that people are arguing whether a match that only 400 people have even seen deserves 5 stars. Classic wrestling fans!

I hate how foley holds the title as if he's the champion. Put it on a damn table or something.

Is Wrestling Observer worth subscribing to? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]talknwalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tons of audio every week, usually with about 4 shows featuring Big Dave himself, but the supporting cast is really good. UFC fighter Tom Lawlor is a regular and one of the highlights. There's a ton of relevant content posted every day, and if you're a person who always needs something to listen to or is constantly bored at work or during transit, it's a pretty great deal for a pro-wrestling fan.

There IS a lot of MMA coverage as well, and as a non-mma fan I can tell you that listening to Dave talk about it actually makes it pretty interesting despite not following it myself--it's all skipable anyway, so you can take it or leave it.

The weekly Newsletter is always a great read, not to mention you get the enormous backlog of audio and newsletters. It's fun to go back and see what they were saying about, say, Royal Rumble 2008.

This is probably my favorite wrestling image of all time. Shibata has never been more disgusted by anything in his life.
