NorCal answers Wrestling (and all other) questions!

At least three.

That period of the Ionian Revolt to the death of Alexander is almost non-stop. And that is doing a disservice to the mess of the Diadochi, which then links us to the rise of Rome.

I was thinking last night that I might go looking for something to read on the wars between Carrthage and the Sicilian Greeks. My limited knowledge of them suggest that they were quite intense and back and forth (and of course provide a backdrop for the foundation of Rome's overseas empire).

Oh, we are giving those two their own episodes as well.



....Mostly because I find them super interesting, have a hard time finding literature on them, and I want you to teach me about them I think I mentioned something of the sort off-air last time

 

[Барбоса]

And I think I warned you that I have never studied the Diadochi and the entire Hellenistic period...

By the time I get to them my eye is drawn west to the rising imperial sun, rather than stay on the setting Greek one...

Went to a house show last night, had 3rd row floor seats, you were right, anything on the floor outside of the first 2 rows is pretty shit, especially wen you're taking a 6 yr. old & a 9 yr. old to the show & the drunk fucktards in front of us won't ever sit the fuck down. Other than that is was a pretty good time, Reigns & Wyatt had a killer street fight in the ME, Lucha Dragons & Ascension had a pretty awesome match, & I got to see Baylay & Sasha, which was a nice surprise since I wasn't expecting Baylay at all.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Im not surprised since they are def having sasha and Bayley practice for Takeover.


They dont have to be drunk fucks.....No one ever sits down when you are on the floor. Never. EVer. its first two rows or nothing. Im sorry you had to find out the hardy way, ive been there myself.

I think I might've been more frustrated with how poorly run the merch tables were. There was one table & it was located on the upper level & on the opposite side of the building. It took 20 mins. just to fight our way to the front, then another 20 mins. before we got someone to help us. They could have easily set up 2 merch stands, one on th upper level & one on the lower level, would made things sooo much easier. The kids got all sorts of stuff though, so they were happy.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Like, 100 episodes of the show going up tonight.


Well, 3.


Shocky, KB, Ty, Roddy Piper, SummerSlam, Takeover, How much I fucking hate Kevin Dunn, Fantasy Football, and AFC South!!

 

[Mighty NorCal]

TWO new episodes published!!!

Wrestling headlines with(sound equipment upgrade of +100000 somehow) KB, and an NFC East preview with Ty

PLUS

Roddy Piper memorial and NXT/Summerslam preview with The Shockmaster!!

 

[klunderbunker]

My ridiculous nitpick of the day:

It's the Jeritron 5000, not 3000.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I think the new one was the 5000 after they smashed the 3000 on another show?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm thinking it was a situation like how many matches I have as it keeps going up and down at his whim.

 

[NSL]

ARMBAR!

Spoiler

Seemed like the right time...

 

[Mighty NorCal]

So wait, are "The Cosmic King" and Stardust about to become a regular tag team?


Fucking awesome, if so.


Sure, it may be super whacky, but fuck it. Its something. Barrett's straight laced character with the craziness of stardust alongside him will be consistently entertaining.

 

[justinsayne]

It's something, plus it gives us another much needed heel tag team

I hope to god so. The Cosmic King thing is awesome. Doesn't matter how out there it is. It's amazing. And if it's short term, he can use it to eventually turn on Stardust and tell him that he's afraid he's got some bad news.

 

[justinsayne]

I don't know if it's at all possible but I think a podcast with you & Theo reviewing the live Takeover experience would fantastic

 

[jmt225]

Please tell me you participated in that Young Bucks chant during the Owens/Balor match.

I haven't seen them in action yet, but I assume it is on the levels of Head Cheese? And to a much lesser extent, Rock & Sock?

No

It didn't last long enough



I mean that sincerely, not just because I think YB are filth.


I'm SHOCKED it was so audible on the broadcast. It was really not a very large percentage of the crowd.


I suppose that minority is the loudest

It probably is. I think he was recording a show for a while so I know he has the equipment. Ill do some asking around.


Obviously this weekend me and KB will do a show comparing the show on tv to my live experience, and making fun of SummerSlam

 

[Mustang Sally]

What did you think of Roman Reigns' performance at Summerslam?

Is he still headed for superstardom or has his luster dimmed?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

It was fine, and a pretty good match, though the fatigue from what surrounded it made it tough to get into. I would still maintain he HAS to be in the top 5 of the whole WWE though, since if you were going to rank the top ten matches of the year, he is definitely in at least four of them (Vs Bryan, Vs Lesnar, Vs Big Show, Vs Wyatt)


If he keeps working hard and developing, there is no stopping him.

Everyone needs to check out the opening match of Survivor Series 96' to see what can happen.
