She is the spark, she frees the flame that is our collective passion for grappling, wrasslin', wrestling and simulated combat sports. In her short time she has eclipsed all others and we honour this glorious July in her name.

PWG

ICW
- Staunchly adult focused wrestling from Scotland. The attitude era worship is evident, and may not be for everyone. That said, a lot of great UK talent, and weekly TV show content as well as live events. They're about to run the same venue WWE is taping TV in, and for an indy, that merits attention.

Welp, anything's better the Jeff Fucking Jarrett, I guess.

Anywho, what's the consensus on Oka's wacky new gimmick?

I kinda like it, Killer Khan for 2018. Oka seemed pretty into it as well, and Gedo was watching the match yesterday from the curtain to see how he did.

Oka is the best so I'm glad he's finally going on excursion.

At least it was not a thread dedicated to miss republican.

Anyway next Friday CMLL show is going to be decent:

That main event!

Rush and Penta in the same team.

The third and forth match are also good, some nice trios matches.

I thought gimmick posting wasn't allowed here

It was never not allowed on here or on GAF, but it's definitely annoying and contributes nothing to the forum. At one point on GAF you had so many people gimmick posting that the whole thread was just gimmicks talking to each other with virtually no actual wrestling discussion. I think the community eventually realized how fucking stupid it all was and thankfully it stopped for the most part.

Anything is better than the Young Lion gear. No one has ever looked worse in the black trunks than he did.



The only reason I know who this guy is is because people are constantly posting his tweets on here. He reeks of a guy who likes to stir up shit because he thinks he can make a living off of it and not because he genuinely has concern for the issues he tweets about.

The massive living off a story every month or two on deadspin

heaven forbid a journalist look into someone booking a literal convicted pedophile

Went to the NJPW show last night. Was a good show. Main event was excellent.

No Los Ingobernables and bullet club definitely a big miss. Was disappointed that the ring never had the trademark New Japan logo's.

Merch on sale was let down also.

Now I am looking forward to Pro-Wrestling Noah in September.

If Kenoh, Nakajima and Sugiura make the trip it's gonna be fire!!

Hello, July thread. Goodbye, June thread.

I miss the Joshis already. Or is Joshi plural also, like Jedi?

See?! I still have so much to learn!

I know the OT isn't sincere but I freaking love Ember and have done since her Athena days. She gets a lot of flak for her promo skills and gimmick but in terms of ring work, she's in the top 3 (now that Io's signed, I guess top 4) women they have.

It was never not allowed on here or on GAF, but it's definitely annoying and contributes nothing to the forum. At one point on GAF you had so many people gimmick posting that the whole thread was just gimmicks talking to each other with virtually no actual wrestling discussion. I think the community eventually realized how fucking stupid it all was and thankfully it stopped for the most part.

Without wanting to step on anyone's toes or vilify an entire community, this is the main reason I never really got involved with the wrasslin' threads on GAF. At times they seemed to be impenetrable walls of in-jokes and gimmick posting. Thankfully things seem different on Era and so starting this month I'm gonna make more of an effort to participate in the thread.

Managed to get tickets for both NXT UK Liverpool dates and I'm pretty stoked, since the last live event I attended was a WWE house show in like 2012.

Wish there was a PPV tonight. Weird thing is that they have PPVs when I don't feel like watching one, but don't have them when I do. There's no Westworld tonight. Mets game is over. There's nothing on TV tonight.
