    its impossible to even keep up with just a few promotions, modern matches take precedent

    Heard about it but haven't seen it yet, had to get ready for work, paused it right before the Edwards/Moose match turned into a tag match. I'll either watch the rest tonight or tomorrow before work. Aries is notorious for being a d-ck though so no surprise

    I started watching wrestling again after Kenny/Okada 1, so I watched New Japan/WWE, then ROH through the Young Bucks soon after. Only this year have I started watching big matches in Mexico and the UK.

    When WWE is your world for so long and then you're exposed to this other world, it's hard to go back to the style you watched and grew to hate as a kid.

    Edit

    I guess the honest answer is I naturally assume those matches aren't that great and not worth my time

    Actually came back with AJ at the Rumble but only watched his matches until Sunmerslam

    Some of the best matches I've ever watched happened prior to 2000.... A lot of old matches have stood the test of time

    The Flair Steamboat series is worth any fans time imo

    For anyone that isn't watching;

    the new continuing gag is a countdown timer to the new year and the Bucks possibly leaving for wwe (Marty invites Matt to a new year party on Jan 1, to which they argue because Matt "doesn't know what he'll be doing then" for example) as well as the members of BTE getting notes from someone named "H" apprently trying to bribe them to join someone..hmm H even bought Hangman new boots

    Now is this just a meta joke or is it ironically a possible route and they're just expressing it in storyline?

    Either way I feel like it's super early for the gag to be this much in full force. We'll have like 10 episodes before new year or more I'd assume, it'll be played out before jan1. BTE did this in the past where they started the hangman Joey Ryan story WAYYYYY before they should've


    EDIT: I can't believe this vlog series developed to the point where I'm writing story analysis and write ups on episodes

    Go out of your way to watch Bushi/Takagi vs R3K, killer match today at Korauken. R3K are working so hard and Takagi impressed the h--- out of me, looked great. Them and Eagles/Ishimori are going to tear the house down when they match up.

    @Pinhead I still need to watch the main event of BFG, that Allie segment made me tune out and not want to tune back in

    It was great but there's matches that level every week. Not that big of an issue if you miss it.

    The discussion a little earlier on this page got me curious

    I'd like a list of @Pinhead and @Big Dangerous favorite/best old school matches

    How about we just go with anything pre-WrestleMania X7, as nothing was the same after that
