also, Alberto Del Rio got released. Unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee.

Heh.

Alberto Del Released-o

If there's any truth to this rumor of Del Rio popping their head media guy in the mouth for a racist comment, they should can the asshole who started the thing, too. Anybody hear of the WWE twitter feed calling out Del Rio on this issue? Crazy stuff.

That sort of thing makes me think that it's either an angle, or that the social media guy is a colossal dickhead trolling Del Rio.

Not that Del Rio gives a shit because he's wanted out for a while, but still.

Also, you can update social media for a living. Who knew?

I'm happy he is gone. He was shit anyway.

In other news, fuck New Japan. My life as a jaded wrestling fan takes a new turn.

Still the enterprising e-fedder could google the names and likely find said matches on the interwebs.

The American stuff, yes, but all of the Japanese matches are still available.

I'm gonna smash through some of those Japanese matches later on. I've always wanted to get into Puro, but have never had an entry point. Thanks for sharing!

It takes a few matches to adjust to that style of wrestling. It's slower and they build towards the big moves. Bonus points for the matches if you know the wrestlers big moves and realize that they've been reversed. A lot of the really popular wrestlers have more then one finisher too. And sometimes they don't use their finishers for months, years only to bust it out for that match.

Can anyone recommend any good puro blogs/Twitter feeds/forums? Keeping up with Japanese wrestling is maddening.

 

[Seth]

Keepingthespiritalive.tumblr.com is the one I use. They're usually really good about all the goings - on of Puro.

This place is outstanding for New Japan and the forums are good for other discussion, especially NOAH and All Japan.

Also, to anyone to watches Raw on Hulu, how heavy is the editing? I know that there's a lot of filler for a three-hour show that can get cut down for the 90 minutes or so they put on there, but I missed tonight's, and I know there was some good stuff there. And anyone who runs WWE2K14 simulations for live shows on YouTube should be strapped to a chair and forced to watch Great Khali matches forever.
