So tonight in San Antonio, Smackdown #1 Announcer Funaki translated a conversation between myself & New Japan president Takaaki Kidani. This was awesome.

Then, I caught up with Micah Taylor, who introduced me to his friend Antonio Banks. I extended my hand and said "What's up MVP, i'm Joe." And he said, and I quote, "I prefer Antonio Banks."

K.

Then he asked Taylor where the rats went, and proceeded to leave with one in his H2 Hummer.

This too, was awesome, in a completely different way.

Marked out like a retard for the New Japan guys tonight, and I can check off "see Jushin Liger live" off the bucket list.

A good weekend.

Fucking mark.

lol

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Fucking mark.

lol

Yeah.

It's a tricky spot, when the guy is wearing a gigantic diamond encrusted medallion that says MVP that looks like it weighs 19 pounds.

Bottom line is I always go with the gimmick name, i'd rather be a mark than come off like smarky guy who "knows" the shoot name.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

So I thanked Kidani for iPPV and explained how much easier it is to watch the shows because of it, and he had no idea what I was talking about and had me explain how it works. He sorta knew what USTREAM was, but seemed genuinely clueless about iPPV. I thought that was pretty weird.

MVP is pretty guarded, always seems to be in a fool mood and too cool for were ever he is at

Pretty apt description. Not the friendliest man. And I should note that HE stepped into the conversation I was having, so it's not like I was some geek running up to him bothering him. Taylor was simply being polite since he randomly crashed the conversation.

I wasnt offended, it was just awkward.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I use the Andre the Giant / Junior Seau method of introduction...always call'em boss.

How was the crowd I got caught cleaning up some messes from the other shift at work

shit.

300 or less. Only hot for Liger.

I have no idea why Charlie "I work in Under Armour" Haas is champion. Please explain.

 

[BigBiss]

Im not sure why Charlie wakes up in the morning ... miserable waste he should go back to selling "vitamins" in Dallas with his wife

So Fed, let's go with the AAW report.

Was this your first time seeing ACH live? How's all that charisma up close & in person?

What did you think of Josh Alexander?

This was my first time seeing ACH live and yeah, it was awesome for the most part. He was only in the ring for a few minutes which was disappointing, his match was full of gimmicks and Jimmy Jacobs being a piece of shit. Was super disappointed that ACH/Cage lost in the first round so I wasn't able to see them twice.

Alexander was okay, I thought Page was the far better worker of the two, I also only saw them for a few minutes too. They didn't get a ton of time.

When I get a chance to sit down, I'll write a full report.

Did he get the Lupe Fiasco entrance that fits him like a glove?

 

[FedEx227]

Yes he did, it's a great touch for him. He and Cage were great in the ring together arguing the whole time, ACH called him the Pippen and told him to take note. Cage didn't save ACH on a double team because he was "taking notes". Really good job of playing off each other, it's a shame they didn't get a fluke win in the first round so I could see them more.

David Marquez announced today an alliance involving Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, West Coast Wrestling Connection from Oregon, Ultra Championship Wrestling from Utah, Future Stars of Wrestling from Nevada, Championshp Wrestling from Arizona, Traditional Championship Wrestling from Arkansas, Metro Championshp Wrestling from Kansas, River City Wrestling from Texas, New York Wrestling Connection from New York and New England Championship Wrestling. The group wall work together to trade talent and have a touring united champion. There are no dues or membership fees but all promoters must have local television to join. The group will be called the United Wrestling Network.

United Wrestling Network, using an NWA similar model, featuring multiple promoters who I know for a fact have beef with the NWA.

Interesting.

Its a good group, but if its only about out doing or showing NWA ... it wont go far

 

[BigBiss]

a look at our new footage, little dark but much happier

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

We can now officially announce that the next INSPIRE PRO event will take place on January 5, 2014 at the Marchesa Hall & Theater!

While the distance between shows here may smart a little, we promise that we’ll be making it up to you guys in SPADES by bringing a VERY SPECIAL GUEST to the great state of Texas.

PLUS, we have some exciting news regarding the EXPANSION of Inspire Pro that will be taking us outside of Austin. We’ll also be crowning our FIRST CHAMPION at the conclusion of our main event. In the meantime, we’ll be tweaking the site, releasing lots of exciting footage, and leaking card information.

SO STAY TUNED! We have some surprises that will melt faces!

January 5th, one day after Dome, i'll be dragging my feet and i'll probably fall asleep on the way home on some two lane highway and die, but i'll be there!

Very curious to see who the special guest will be. Maybe Chuckie T is coming back. I think they should do a Chuck Taylor/ACH match at some point since Taylor eliminated ACH from the tournament. Also, because it would be awesome and I want to see it. So do it!

This is head to head with NFL Playoffs, I hope the Austin hipsters blow off the football and they keep building on the crowd. Pretty sure there were 200 or a shade below last time.

Goddamn it.

DGUSA upcoming matches:

11/16 Queens Main Events:

11/17 Brooklyn Main Events:

*DGUSA champion Johnny Gargano vs. Masaaki Mochizuki

17th looks pretty awesome so far, 16th meh. I guess Mochi has to break the unbeaten streak of Nese if he's getting the title shot the next night.
