Starting jiu-jitsu next week. Was a pretty good wrestler in high school and know some submissions. I remember I made lots of mistakes with my wrestling technique when I started, and these eventually turned into bad habits.

Ive realized how much I need to work on grip, by just watching and rolling with friends.

I'm planning on cross training in BJJ next year, but I might be able to give some advice and discussion.
>i want the old /asp/ back
>>1279052

How old were you when you grew out of your "I'm edgy, I hate John Cena" phase? For me, 17. Once you realize he's the only legitimate "big star" in wrestling today, the only mainstream name that people outside of wrestling are aware of, you come to appreciate him so much more. I can't wait until he comes back so I can stop pretending to like these boring generic indy NXT wrestlers just because they do flips in the ring

I started appreciating him around the time he started the U.S. Title Open Challenge. Those were some of the best Raw matches in a long time and reminded me that Jhon could still put on amazing matches while evolving his offense. Truly one of the GOAT and May 30 will be the hypest Raw imaginable.
Smarks blame the top guy for all the ills of a promotion, because they are the most visible person. It's a standard cognitive fallacy. Once they are no longer the top guy, the cognitive distortion is removed and people judge the wrestler on their true merits.
Never hated him, realize he is loved by kids, just very bored by him. He has been working the same dull match and gimmick for fifteen years, with only a few exceptions. It's like watching Hogan matches endlessly, like who the fuck cares?
How do you compare millennium, undisputed champ. Y2J with modern day, rainbow jacket Chris Jericho?
It seems like Chris is just there now to promote his shitty band and hurl cringeworthy catchphrases like:
"EEEEEEVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEER"
"Best in the world at what I do."
"Do you understand what I'm saying to you right now."
Seriously, am I the only one who cringes everytime he cuts a promo now?
>>1285744
you are supposed to cringe. he is cool dad
>>1285744
You got fucking worked
Cool dad is still great he is just different. Sure some stuff he says is cringey but its because he isnt allowed to be non pg. Dude is still the GOAT.
Since wrestling won't stop spamming or keep it to a few threads I'm just going to make a shitload of threads.
So MMA vs TMA in a self defense situation. Who has the advantage? You can use weapons.

Please have sex
Wrestling
what you don't to understand is that casual viewers don't give a single flying fuck about your nakagushi or sakashiki muslim, ginger, wrestlers with no character.
enjoy your indy fest raw, because at this rate it will be soon a real indy thing transmitting live from some warehouse in Nashville, Tennessee
>>1285258
You're right about at least one of them.
>>1285256
>inplying i give a single high flying fuck about what the casual viewers think
Every wreslter is indy at some point. You can't just trot out Beeg and Taker every night anymore. You have to develop real talent. Its why Vince has Romans dick in his ass he is trying to push new talent not 50 years old. Even if it will ruin the company because he is full retard. It os something that needs to be done.
>haven't watched wrestling since 2004
>watched raw last monday because why not?
>the fuck is this gay shit?
when and how did this happen??
>>1285246
Oh shut the fuck up you never stopped watching it
>>1285246
Care to explain what was so gay about it?
>>1285246
Wrestling has always been gay
Is all the constant spamming of damage control pathetic meme responces (kys, 18+, etc...) real? Like are yall really this butthurt that we cant even have anormal discussion? its worse than /b/ in here, you guys are the most defensive people ive ever seen. Never before has the term autism been more appropriate
Kys
Please lose weight fat owens

I'm begging you, find a warm moist hole to stick your penis inside of.
I have been saying this for at least 20 years
Boxing is the worst scripted.

Have you seen some of the bullshit that happens in hockey? Be pretty hard to script a goal off of someone's skate blade
>>1284639
OP here. Fuck off and eat my cock
I know Vince didn't get it but he was so fucking over and I know if given a chance, he would have been huge.
And in light of recent news, I was reminded that I am also still pissed about Leo Kruger not working out.
>>1284616
Yeah, I thought it was a fun idea, stupid fun in fact. Burchill handled it decently for the little time he had.

kevin thorn and vampire girl.
>>1284661
fuck no
Neo ECW was complete garbage
ITT: We try to create realistic cards for any future 'mania event. I'm gonna take a shot at what I think WM 35 could look like:
Main Event: AJ Styles vs Seth Rollins
Finn Balor vs John Cena
Chris Jericho vs Nakamura
Dean Ambrose vs Eric Young
Roman Reigns vs Randy Orton
Bray Wyatt vs Baron Corbin
Brock Lesnar vs Samoa Joe
The New Day vs Bullet Club
Enzo and Cass vs The Revival
Sami Zayn vs Zach Sabre Jr
Kevin Owens vs Luke Harper
Neville vs Cesaro
Asuka vs Bayley vs Sasha Banks
Not sure what the inevitable 7 man ladder match would look like, probably whoever is left on the roster that doesn't have a dislocated shoulder or torn ACL at the time.
What do you guys have?
>>1284562
>aj styles main event at WM
>samoan joe vs brock lesnar
>finn balor vs john cena
Kek'd
>>1284572
I tried to avoid matches that have been done before. A lot can happen in 3 years.
>>1284562
Divas title : Asgooka (c) vs Bayley
Intercontinental : Nakamura (c) vs Zayn
USA (European) : Rusev (c) vs Cesaro
WWE championship : Roman Reigns (c) vs Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins
World Heavyweight Championship : Baron Corbin (c) vs Bray Wyatt
Tag Team : The Club (c) vs S.A.W.F.T.
Do you agree?
>>1284305
what's the difference
They're not a good club, they're not a bad club, they're just the club
>>1284305
You think they kept the bullet put because of pg ratings bs or because Vincent is an asshole and needs to make his own version of shit?
When is baby dick returning? Will he return as a face or a heel?
Should we expect even lower ratings after his return?
Who is worst for ratings, Roman "The Big Dog" Reigns or Seth "Baby Dick" Rollins?
>>1284146
Within 30 days. He'll be a heel
Yes
Both
>>1284146
Face
Heighten, then drop because Roman Burial Service and poor booking
Romania worse for lower ratings, you don't want the face of the company turn people away

>>1283735
No stupid idiot poo poo head thats Kevin Bloatens
>>1283740
Seriously? looks like you but skinnier
Why don't they give him he credit he deserves?
That RAW where he and Goldy won the tag belts from Shield was probably the last time I felt really happy watching the product.
>>1283625
He's got a Jim Carey vibe about him and I'm so sad he's now trapped in the mid-card getting stomped by titus and apollo
Fuck Cody Rhodes.
