Regarding the streak, how much control do you think Undertaker has?

Obviously he has the ability to compete or not, but if he puts forth an idea of the streak ending, would WWE rather he not compete at all?
 
I'm fixing to watch NXT, but I need a good starting point. Which episode in the last 5 weeks should I start from?
I actually have Hulu Plus, for the sole purpose of watching NXT, and old episodes of ECW and Smackdown. If you start with 2013, you'll get the end of Rollins title reign and the beginning of Big E, which also marks the Shield leaving the company. Probably a good place to start. Also marks the tag title tournament.

If we're talking a specific move, the DDT. It's fast, it's believable that it could knock someone out cold, it doesn't look completely fake.
Some people like the theatrics of finishers, but I prefer a quick, realistic end. Not that wrestling is realistic, by any stretch of the imagination, but my ideal finisher is quick, easy to set up, and deadly. I've always liked Randy Orton's RKO, for example. Big Show's KO Punch is another I appreciate, because I never liked the choke slam. I think a 500-pound giant punching you in the face is enough to startle your jimmies. Marked out hard when Sheamus was the first to kick out of it; that match in general was so damn good. Speaking of which, the Brogue is another I like. Simple and gets a really good pop. Sweet Chin Music, etc etc. And pretty much, any submission that isn't over-used and can be set up by working over a body part throughout the match. ADR's Cross Arm Breaker is my current favorite.

Finishers I don't like: Christian's Killswitch/Unprettier. It just takes too long to set up, and realistically I feel like you could easily get out of it with very little effort. The end result is deadly, but it just looks ridiculous. Rey Mysterio's 619, because 90% of his victim's turn around and see it coming. More their fault than his. Be a man. Get kicked in the face. The Angle Slam, after he stopped using it to win matches in TNA. Seriously, somebody kicks out of that shit every single time now. He uses it as a signature move more than anything, and it's dumb.

This is true. That's why the DDT was so popular at first: nothing else was that fast.

Any update on what we were talking abotu via PM the other day?

Not yet. We're working out a schedule for the regulars, and want to at least get things off the ground before we expand to doing things like editorials and reviews. Might be up to 2 weeks, but I'll let you know if you're still interested.

As far as making eBooks goes, the more you do the better. Probably smart to space them out, but I haven't had the chance to talk with him in-depth about much of anything yet.
 
So is it a new site or this one? I'm definitely interested in it either way.

As for the e-books I plan on doing roughly one every six weeks. I definitely won't do one every week or so.
 
He doesn't have anything now. He does 3 editorials a week, adn that is his contribution to the website. Nick Paglino replaced him as Editor last summer.
 
I'm curious. Would you review one match? I'd give you the whole show, but they don't upload full shows. It came up when talking about wrestling at work and I attended.

 
Yes. I mentioned it a few days ago, but haven't had a ton of time to follow up with it. If you had free reign to do whatever you want - in terms of TV reviews, PPV, random news posting, opinion editorials, etc. - what would be your ideal participation? Also, keeping in mind that none of us are making money until we can monetize and bring in advertisers. Probably 6 months, as I said before. But if you have free time, and have nothing else planned for awhile...

I have a few hundred shows backlogged already and I spend about four hours watching wrestling a day. It would be at least that much.

Our lives are creepily similar... What do you do for a living, that you have enough free time to accomplish this? Because I'm trying to figure out how to watch 4 hours of wrestling every day, but also pay my rent. Thus far, it has not been a successful endeavor. Hoping to get some money from WZ when Josh and Justin cut back, which should be soon.

Mainly I make money off my own site/now the ebooks. Again: Get me a job on the main page so that I can do this permanently for a living.

Do you actually make money off the reviews? That's cool. How does that happen, with not having ads? Also, why is your site re-directing me to a Facebook error whenever I go to it?

KB does have ads. I turn off my popup blocker on his site so I see them.

It loads fine for me too.
