Your guys' picks for the EOTY awards are all pretty on point.

Mick and I did an article talking about our picks. Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out:

Pro Wrestling in 2016: End of the Year Awards

 

I know nobody in this thread listens to our podcast because they don't flame me for my scorching hot takes. Well, except @bones. But he's such a savage, he slides right into my DMs

 

Not enough talk of the Bellas for my liking.

 

Though I wouldn't know because I've never listened.

 

Get PPP on and ill listen

 

Randomly watching No Mercy 2003. Vince vs Steph lol. Definitely don't think I was watching at this time. I dont remember this.

 

I'm pretty much the unofficial third member of Foleyfield

Its so funny to me how much people disliked TJ Perkins gimmick.

 

I was watching Raw at home over the holidays and my bro, who doesn't watch religiously but grew up watching with me when we were kids, was super into everything TJP. I found it very odd.

 

Oh man I totally forgot how much I hate TJPs gimick

 

He feels like a guy who is strictly there to relate to kids. He's a really great babyface on paper. He just comes off tepid and boring in the ring, imo. Putting him against TBK has really hurt him. He has tons of potential that is being wasted.

 

Cena/Angle was a great match. Holy shit at Cenas completely non PG promo he cut before the match. That was fuckin weird.

 

I get a little pumped when he comes out, then he dabs, and I lose all interest

 

TJP seems like the kind of person I wouldn't like. I think it's the dab. Working as a substitute teacher this year and having kids trying to dab on me all day just made me lose respect for people doing the dab. Haha

 

Should I go to AJs meet and greet or Sasha's meet and greet rumble weekend? I totally could have met AJ at Axxess last year but I can't remember who's line I was in. It was probably someone not even there anymore. I'm sure he will be a paid meet and greet at Axxess this year.

 

Those meet and greets are so expensive.

 

AJ no brainer!

 

The paid ones at Axxess most definitely. We bought a Shawn Michaels paid one on the cheap from a guy last year because he replaced Bryan last minute when he dropped his bookings at Mania time.

Then I got to meet Bryan for the price of world of wheels auto show the week after he announced his retirement.

Last year, hardly anyone was in AJs line. I really wish I could remember whose line I was in. I think it was Becky.

 

I bought a T-shirt to meet KO at Hot Topic. Best investment ever.

 

I want JBL to enter the rumble for the sole purpose of giving Ellsworth a clostheline from hell.

 

Did you have to buy the tshirt

 

Yeah. The whole signing cost me $20. It was wonderful.

 

I'm hesitating on buying tickets. It'd be just me that goes, and I'm not sure if I want to make the trek (admittedly not that far).

Edit: and I don't follow ROH and NJPW that much outside of the news of the companies. I'm not a regular watcher of the companies.
