  1. First live PPV I actually decided to check out the stream for in so long, and my grand judgement was: it was okay. Pretty good actually, Orton/Ziggler was good but I didn't think it was as good as everybody else seemed too. Ziggler, of course, sold everything to perfection and I don't think Orton needed the win that would've done a lot for Ziggy, plus he deserved it. I'm not anti-Orton in any way but I thought he was really, really plodding last night. I get they're trying to present 'methodical' but seriously? Really loved the crowd when they were into it, especially the fact they seemed to be quite a pro-heel crowd. The alternating "BOO" and "YEAH" always gets me, especially when it's a crowd behind the heels. US title match was kind of flat but that mid-air European Uppercut spot was sick. Wish they'd let Claudio, or Antonio, be a bit more flamboyant but he looks impressive. Ryder's shtick is getting a little old, I would've preferred Tyson Kidd. Daniel Bryan was so ridiculously over, I was digging it. Really decent tag team bout, the crowd didn't want Kofi and Truth to win for a second. Backstage segments were pretty good too. I hated Del Rio/Sheamus. Whoever is the writer behind this storyline needs to be fired, seriously. They had the chance to actually interest me with the whole Brogue Kick ban, they could've had a sick match with Sheamus instinctively wanting to go for it and having to struggle against it, finding a way to win against the odds. Then, after weeks of build up and the even the pre-match promo being all about the banned move, BAM. "Actually nevermind Sheamus, go ahead, use it, nobody cares." Lazy. Divas Match was abysmal. Somebody explain to me how Sara Del Rey is on developmental deal but this is on PPV? Cena vs. Punk really saved the evening, which is both cool and sad. Punk carried it, and you could tell that they were just setting up the SuperCena comeback the whole way through, but the fact Punk countered the Five Moves of Doom on numerous occasions and kick out of everything as Cena was, was definitely dramatic, and a massive fair play to Cena for that suicide dive he did, never seen him do that. On the flip-side, the moonsault was sloppy but I found that was okay because Punk never does it and he was "desperate" and whatnot, and that last German Suplex was one of the worst looking I've ever seen. Still, as cheap as the main event draw finish is, it has to happen sometime, and I'm glad it was in this match and in this way. Awesome swerve. Punk is seriously in a league of his own, but Cena definitely looked good and it was actually good to have basically a 50/50 split in the crowd instead of purely anti-Cena, seeing as he worked his ass off, even if it was just the women and children. Really strong, even close to exceptional match and best way to close the evening. EDIT: JBL ruled on commentary; made Cole look like a chump on numerous occasions, while still putting over the talent effectively and still making Cole look good, even when calling him out. The stuff about the Von Erich's was great, the fact JBL mentioned wrestling in Japan and championships wrestlers have held out of the WWE, even a mention for the Bashams and The Cabinet. Awesome.
  2. Thanks guys, I appreciate you took the time to check us out! And I am the cleans singer, as in I don't do the screams. Go check us out on facebook or bandcamp or whatever if you want to hear more of our stuff
  3. Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I thought it was relevant. If anyone in England has Sky and the music channel Scuzz, or if you live anywhere else that has Scuzz, at 8.30pm tonight in GMT, there's a New Music Alert thing - my bands video is going to be on it, it would be awesome if you could get in contact with Scuzz and request it or tell them you enjoyed it or generally check us out! It's a huge deal to us to have made it onto television so it'd be sick for anyone to check it out! Here's the video for ya'll who don't have Scuzz anyway - for your pop-punk/hardcore/maybe modern metal contingent, hope you enjoy : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gcWK_33hwY
  4. Hot diggity DAYUM this is incredible. My love for PGHW seems to be replenished, perfect for a new edge to the company after Saduharu gives ups his post. Brilliant job Kam.
  5. RVD smokes pot. He's also said numerous times in interviews there's a fine line between use and abuse, and he sits firmly on the use side. Anderson and Hardy on the other hand, you're right but for somebody that lights up every now and then, that's nothing to get too worried about.
  6. Forgive me for not realising Joey Styles was a strong man in his weight class.
  7. <p>You never saw/heard any of the "Joey Styles - that knock out kid" stuff that was going around straight afterwards? Haha, those were funny days.</p><p> </p><p> Story has it JBL was just aggravating Styles no end, full on constant bullying, Styles blasted him with a shot in the chops or jaw and put JBL on the ground. Which is endlessly awesome. ROHGuard, no matter the circumstances, the fact of the matter is Joey Styles knocked a 300+ pound, rough tough cowboy to the ground. With one punch, sucker or not. I get what you're saying though, I miss JBL ...more as a commentator though, I gotta say.</p><p> </p><p> Apparently back in the day when he was Bradshaw he was screwing with Steve Blackman at an airport, Blackman went to roundhouse kick him but his foot got caught in a bag. Say what you will about JBL, but at least he keeps things interesting, haha.</p>

  10. Phil Collins in Genesis, Peter Gabriel as a solo artist. And MJ is the King of Pop because, all due respect to Paul McCartney, as great as he was and still is, MJ was on another level in terms of engaging people, his vocal abilities, and his pure performance. He's the greatest performer of all time. How do you top that? Just listened to The Chronic for the first time in a long time. Dr. Dre is awesome.
  11. As far as NXT goes, Percy Watson entertains the hell out of me. Just his facial expressions and his body language cracks me up. I hope he gets far, either that or gets to the main roster afterwards.
  12. As I think I've previously said I've gone off TNA quite a bit, but that last episode was indeed quite good. That Lethal / Flair segment was hysterical, Lethal is really coming into his own and I couldn't be happier, I remember watching his JAPW stuff and loving it, but now his entertainment value is finally catching up to his in ring skills. And Abyss as a heel is the way it should be, I don't think he's interesting as a face. I hope this means we get more car crash Abyss vs. Hardy bouts ala 2004. A few of those were highly entertaining. I gotta concur on the Sting / Jarrett thing though. I don't think Double J has interested me in a very long time.
  13. Something I don't get is a realistic choke getting somebody fired, yet Big Show is allowed to convincingly knock people out by punching them HARD in the head (kayfabe obv, but so was the choke). But that's cool. AmDrag is the don anyway. If it's legit and he's not coming back, that's the E's loss and he can go tear it up in Japan. Or at least that would be my preference, haha.
