The Warriors highly anticipated "Karma Collects" video part 1:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hQzFGd7pn0&feature=player_embedded

Edit: BTW if you go to his channel the other 7 parts are there. It's about an hour long.

Some of the stuff he talks about is pretty close to the bone.....including talk about Hogans kids, how he used Savages death to get his name out there and he would let all the boys in the locker room pump his wife.:lol:

The worst one I've ever seen was at a show I was at:

Deary me :lol:

On the contrary, I actually think that's quite a skilled blade job, blading on impact must be significantly harder than dropping to the deck then doing it? Plus realistically if someone was going to sell a chair shot their hand would shoot up to their head anyway?

It's no wonder CM Punk is unhappy, it's been happening for years, but yet more evidence in the 'From the Vault' on Smackdown where even as World Heavyweight Champion he loses clean to John Morrison...can you imagine Cena or Orton doing that job?

When Smackdown had CM Punk, Morrison, Jericho, Mysterio, Edge, and Hardy, it was a show worth watching.

Now the show is made up of mid-carders and jobbers.

Some of the stuff spouted in here is cringeworthy.

Bully Ray going under the ring to blade is a tactic which has been used for decades now, and it's the most fool proof one possible.

Corinos blading there wasn't too bad IMO. He took the shot with protection, and while taking the assbump blades. Quite impressive actually when you think it over!

All the moaning of X going over Y is silly too. Just this week alone you had Cena doing close to the cleanest job you'll ever see from him, and rightly so. IF you don't agree with his gimmick and character, don't watch it. If you want realistic characters, go watch ROH, PWG or NJPW, if you want sports entertainment, keep watching Raw and SD.

To think, I class the UKFF as smarky!

UKFF is full of arseholes, who think everything theyt ype is 100% correct and the whole should agree with them. I presume your on UKFF?

Aaaaanyway just watched a show on Sky Sports showing all the best RAW moments from 2010. You forget just how incredible the Nexus debut was. Superb stuff, which of course they went on and royally fucked up.

So just cause it's been used for ages that makes it ok? Don't talk shite. It's just so obvious what he's doing. He didn't move his legs at all, so it's acting like he's out cold but he moves back 30 seconds later and is up. Even if he'd come out with a kendo stick and hit AJ it would've made it better.

You make it sound like we're complaining about a single time, it's every fucking week. During Punk's feuds with Orton and Cena, we was continually made to look weak. I think he probably won two or three matches, neither at the PPV and one was on Orton's last night on Raw as he was getting drafted to SD.

Ever tried going from a standing position, to a sitting position, while making an incision on your head that isn't too deep?

I do sense the irony in your second paragraph also though. I used to post on the UKFF, when it meant something in 02-06, sporadically since I was trained however.

Indeed. I can't see why people prefer blading right in front of their eyes to that sort of blading. You can always tell when it's happening, so why complain when they go under the ring to do it?

Just this week alone you had Cena doing close to the cleanest job you'll ever see from him, and rightly so. IF you don't agree with his gimmick and character, don't watch it.

That last sentence is just a right power of pish. I don't like that Cena goes over in the end every single time, but the matches continue to be good so I'm going to continue to watch them and if I don't like the result, then I'll say so as well.

Naw its not

I'd be inclined to agree. If he can't do the blade job that way then don't fucking do it in an attempt to be "smart". Do what anyone else would do.

UKFF is full of arseholes, who think everything theyt ype is 100% correct and the whole should agree with them.

Sort of like the P&B football sections then.

Right, before I get on with the next ROH review, I found it rather hard finding the Glory By Honor II show. Thankfully, it wasn't very good anyways by all accounts apart from one match which was the ROH title match between defending champion Samoa Joe and his biggest challenge yet, Christopher Daniels. The match wound up coming in at a super ****1/4 rating.

ROH Tradition Continues

I remember loving this show and looking at the card, I can see why. There's all sorts of fun to be had here.

Samoa Joe © vs. Jay Briscoe - ROH World Heavyweight Championship ( **** )

Prince Nana vs. Samoa Joe

I suppose you have to give Prince Nana some sort of credit for having balls, don't you? Joe goes to work on Nana right off the bat. Nana goes to work with chops and those are hard ones. Avalanche. SAMOAN WRECKING BALL FROM NANA !!! I love that move. Belly 2 Belly Suplex. THE CHOKE !!! DONE !!!

This was your basic Nana opening squash. N/A

Dunn and Marcos vs. Danny Doring and Josh Daniels vs. Slyk Wagner Brown and Sonjay Dutt vs. Slugger and Grim Reefer - Scramble Match

There isn't half a lot of shite in this one. Doring and Marcos to start this off and Marcos goes behind. Doring with the takedown and a Front Facelock. Wristlock from Doring and then he goes behind with the Hammerlock and the Headlock. CM Punk goes onto commentary. Headlock from Doring. Marcos with a Modified Rana and then an Enziguri.

Dutt sweeps down and then some cracking reversals leads to Dutt with the Dropkick and the fans liked that. Grim chops Dutt and then vice versa. Slugger is then tagged into the match and in comes Brown with right hands. Brown now with chops. Slugger just charges down Brown and then Brown comes back with forearms. Dropkicks from Brown and he hits the ropes and runs into the Clotheslines. Slugger beats on Brown in the corner. Brown with a Dropkick off the top and then in comes Dunn. Marcos is in too. ASSISTED SLICED BREAD #2 ON SLUGGER !!! In comes Doring and Daniels. GORY BOMB SENDS DANIELS ONTO DORING !!! Niiiice. Grim into the ring and he lands a Body Slam. WALKING SWANTON FROM REEFER !!! ONE ! TWO ! DUTT SAVES !!! Running Knee from Dutt. BRUTAL ACE CRUSHER FROM DUTT !!! PHOENIX SPLASH FROM DUTT !!! DRAGON SUPLEX FROM DANIELS !!! ONE ! TWO ! THRE ... BROWN SAVES !!! Brown over Daniels now. MILITARY PRESS INTO THE STANDING MOONSAULT !!! ONE ! TWO ! THR ... KICKOUT !!! THE BAREBACK FROM DORING TO BROWN !!! Some mental shit is about to come about. Slugger is in the ring with Dunn. FROG SPLASH FROM REEFER !!! BODY BAG FROM SLUGGER !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

This match actually had some legs in it. Guys like Reefer and Dutt had a lot more in their arsenal than they showed in this. The shit wasn't in the ring for long which was a good thing and we wound up getting a good spotfest. **1/2

Matt Stryker vs. Chris Sabin

I remember this being quite a botchfest. Lockup and a Waistlock from Sabin and Matt escapes and tries to find an arm, and Sabin takes him down. Matt is looking for something but Stryker is determined. Drop Toe Hold from Sabin and he still has the control in this match. Matt manages to find something of a Headlock as he tries to make Sabin break and he eventually does. Lockup and we have a break as that was a wee bit aggressive. Lockup and Matt goes to the Wristlock. Sabin flips around a bit and then goes to the Wristlock and then Matt goes back to it and kicks Sabin away. Sabin with the Wristlock again and Matt with one of his own. Sabin with a nice Head Scissor Takedown and we have a stalemate. They now lock hands and Sabin and Matt exchange kicks. Sabin into a Victory Roll and that gets a two count. Both men now with pins and we have a stalemate again. Lockup and then into the corner they go. Matt then lands some chops and then Sabin with Arm Drags and a kick. Forearms from Sabin and then an Enziguri and we're now breaking down and that gets a two count. Snapmare from Sabin and a kick to the back gets a two count. Knee Drop from Sabin and that is a two count. Knees to the head from Sabin and then into the apron and Stryker misses a charge. MATT BOTCHES A POWERSLAM AND DROPS SABIN ON HIS HEAD !!! ONE ! TWO ! KICKOUT !!! European Uppercut from Matt and that gets a two count and then he stretches the arms with a knee in the back. Back Drop Suplex from Matt and that gets a two count. Punk: "Baltimore fans certainly know a lot about the clap." :lol: Powerbomb from Matt is botched and that gets a two count.

Sabin fights ... INTO THE CRUCIFIX ... ROLLED INTO THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER FROM STRYKER !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

Not as botchy as I can remember and this was good fun. Some cracking exchanges and the finish is included in that. There WAS a couple of botches, but it was mainly just a standard Field of Honor match. **1/4

Colt Cabana vs. BJ Whitmer

I suppose that this was something of a pre-cursor to the fued that they would have the year later. Lockup and into the corner they go and then a high five from Cabana. Into the corner from these two guys and then Whitmer goes to the Test of Strength. Whitmer sucked Cabana right into that one. Wristlock from Whitmer. Cabana goes to the Wristlock. Cabana does some back and foreward and then Whitmer with another Wristlock and then Cabana with one of his own again. Forearm from Cabana and he has had enough of the goofy stuff and he goes to the chops. Whitmer drops behind and then lands a Dropkick for a two count. Hammerlock from Whitmer. Cabana is looking for an escape and then lands an elbow. Headlock from Cabana and then a Headlock Takedown and a Side Headlock. Cabana then floors Whitmer and then trips over him and he is NOT happy. Cabana then breaks the count. Lockup and Cabana with a kick and then a right hand. Back Elbow from Whitmer and that gets a two count. Snap Suplex from Whitmer and then he rolls through to a Northern Lights Suplex and that gets a two count. Forearms and chops from Whitmer. Whitmer then goes to the chops now. Cabana gets under Whitmer and hits the ropes and lands a Running Knee Lift and then the Fist Drop. Cabana with the Double Knees in the corner and that gets a two count. Cabana then he lands a back elbow on Whitmer. Tornado Snap Suplex is blocked but Cabana eventually lands the Suplex portion of the move and that gets a two count. Butt Bump from Cabana and that gets a two count. THE CLAW FROM CABANA !!! Gabe is acting like a fucking imbecile by saying the move is doing no damage. Cabana runs into the boot. BELLY 2 BELLY INTO THE ROPES FROM WHITMER !!! Whitmer tries for some pins on Cabana. Forearm from Whitmer and then more of the same. Back Elbow from Whitmer and then a High Knee. EXPLODER SUPLEX FROM WHITMER !!! ONE ! TWO ! KICKOUT !!! COLT 45 FROM CABANA ... countered. BRUTAL SUPLEX DROPS WHITMER ON HIS HEAD !!! ONE ! TWO ! THR ... KICKOUT !!! JAPANESE ROLLUP FROM CABANA !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

Yet more of the usual standard Field of Honor stuff. **

The Backseat Boys © vs. Special K - ROH Tag Team Championships

Izzy and Dixie are the guys who are going to be representing the Special K lads. All four men in the ring to get us going. Acid works on Izzy and then the Backseats take down the challengers. Dixie knocks Acid to the floor. Izzy and Kash are now in the ring while Dixie gets sent into the railing. Roaring Elbow from Acid. AIRPLANE SPIN INTO THE NECKBREAKER FROM KASHMERE !!! Dixie comes in with a Dropkick. ORANGE CRUSH FROM ACID TO DIXIE !!! ONE ! TWO ! KICKOUT !!! Izzy now into the ring and this is already a mess! Kick to the gut and face and a Roaring Elbow from Acid. Izzy with a big move but then he gets knocked to the floor. Dixie into the ring. DIXIE SUPLEXED TO THE FLOOR !!! WHEELBARROW/LEG DROP COMBO ON THE FLOOR ON KASHMERE !!! Acid is now out there and that was one brutal move there. Acid is now up against both members of Special K.

Snap Suplex from Izzy and then a Leg Drop and that gets a two count. Kashmere looks like he's out of it, but he's on the apron and ready to make the tag. Camel Clutch from Dixie and then Acid into the ropes. Acid then with right hands to both men. Forearm from Dixie. YAKUZA KICK FROM ACID TO DIXIE !!! Tag brings in Kash. Bulldog on Izzy.

THE REF DRAGGED TO THE FLOOR !!! IZZY USES THE TITLE BELT !!! ONE ! TWO ! THRE ... KICKOOOOOUUUTTTT !!! SUPERMAN 450 SPLASH !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

That was a damn fun tag team match. All of the shenanigans makes sense when you consider who's in there, and it all worked brilliantly to make the fans DESPISE what just happened. ***

CM Punk vs. AJ Styles

Styles goes behind and we have some reversals between the two men to get going and then Styles with the Hammerlock. Punk takes down Styles and he has an arm and then Styles has an arm of his own and then rides Punk a wee bit and a Front Facelock. Half Nelson from Styles and then he mounts Punk. Against the ropes they go and we have a break from that. Punk seems to be bleeding a wee bit and they lock hands. Wristlock from Styles. Punk with the Monkey Flip but winds up in the Body Scissors. They lock hands and then Styles rams the head of Styles into the canvas. Punk then clubs on the back and then sends Styles back down. Shot to the gut from Styles and then Punk knocks him down. Styles now has the Bearhug down, but Punk remains brutal. They lock hands and then fall down. Kick to the leg from Styles and then into the ropes and then a Headlock from AJ. More kicks to the leg and a Headlock from Styles and then into the ropes. Another kick. BACK DROP DRIVER FROM PUNK !!! He's clearly had enough of the kicks from AJ! Elbow to the back of the head from Punk and then a kick to the face. Rebound Dropkick from Styles and the fans are impressed with that move there. Body Slam from Styles and then a Knee Drop and that gets a two count. Punk into the corner and then he kicks Styles away and lands a Drop Toe Hold and then a Dropkick to the face and that gets a two count. Punk doesn't hook the leg. Chops from Punk and then Styles into the ropes and he blocks a Suplex. STYLES GOES TO THE STYLES CLASH ... countered. Kick to the back of the head from Styles and Punk heads for the floor. MOONSAULT OFF OF THE APRON ... MISSES !!! Punk sends Styles into the railing. Styles sent into the railing a second time and then he pushes the face of Styles into the floor. Punk then asks the fans to move and then sends him back into the ring. Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker from Punk and that gets a two count. Delayed Vertical Suplex from Punk and then a forearm to the back from Punk. More of the same from Punk and then he mocks Raven. Styles comes back. PELE KICK FROM STYLES !!! Reversals from both men now. Neckbreaker Drop from Punk and then the Regal Stretch from Punk. Styles with Headbutts but Punk with another stomp. Clothesline in the corner from Punk and then he lands a Russian Legsweep and that gets a two count. Styles into the corner. QUEDABRA DDT ... COUNTERED TO THE BACKBREAKER !!! ONE ! TWO ! KICKOUT !!!

SHINING WIZARD ... COUNTERED TO THE STYLES CLASH !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

That is an absolutely fantastic match right there and every bit as good a match as you would expect from these two guys. You can see why these two were the guys picked to have the first fued for the pure title as they had all sorts of good counters and cracking exchanges. ****1/2

Jimmy Rave vs. Dan Maff

Kick to the gut and a shot to the back from Maff and then he lands some chops. Arm Drags from Rave and then he tries to take down Maff. BACK DROP DRIVER FROM MAFF !!! The match heads for the floor after that and Maff landsa chop on the back. Rave then gets ran head first into the railing. Rave still gets ran into the railing. Maff points to the ring and then runs Rave into another railing. Why is he playing to the crowd if he's supposed to be a heel? Maff then asks the crowd to scatter and they take their time. Maff then sends Rave back into the ring and mocks the audience. I suppose that's why he played to the crowd. Rave sends Maff to the floor and lands a huge Running Knee off of the apron. Back into the ring we go. Dan Maff seems to be injured and Jimmy Rave stands off. THE BURNING HAMMER FROM MAFF ... blocked. HUGE LARIAT FROM DANNY MAFF !!! ONE ! TWO ! KICKOUT !!!

TILT-A-WHIRL CROSSFACE OUT OF NOWHERE FROM RAVE !!! THE BURNING HAMMER DROPS RAVE ON HIS HEAD !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

While this is the usual "not great" wrestling from the Field of Honor, the amount of stuff they fit into the time they had was worth noting and it was good back and forth stuff. **3/4

Justin Credible vs. Raven

Ugh. We're not watching ECW here, are we? Because this looks like a shit main event from late 1999. Raven at this point has lost a hair vs hair match in TNA and has short hair. Lockup and into the corner they go and Raven lands a right hand and Credible wasn't happy with that. Raven heads for the floor and sends Credible into the railing and then into another railing.

To the floor and Credible rams the leg of Raven into the ringpost. Figure Four Leglock from Credible now.

Jabs from Raven and a Discus Lariat and then he hits a Clothesline. Running Knee Lift from Raven. Bulldog from Raven and that gets a two count. SUPERKICK KNOCKS DOWN THE REF !!! Superkick from Raven and there's no ref to make the count, as if that was ever gonna work. Credible with a low blow and then he gets a chair. RAVEN EFFECT FROM RAVEN !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

That wasn't very good at all. They couldn't even trust having a normal match without bringing weapons into the match. *

John Walters vs. Mark Briscoe vs. Xavier vs. Homicide

This is a good enough big guy vs. little guy battle. The fans were getting right into the match more and more as it went on, mainly thanks to the fire in the performance of Jay Briscoe. Samoa Joe did his part well enough too. ****

This is a cracking show when you get past the boredom. The Field of Honor means that there's so many midcard matches which just go two ways and don't provide much in the way of excitement, but you have THREE matches which are at 4* or over, two of them in particular are amazing. This show is worth picking up.

Ever tried going from a standing position, to a sitting position, while making an incision on your head that isn't too deep?

It's not about that though is it? It's about trying to do it an a way that makes it seem realistic. Hidden, not doing it for your entire audience to see.

I do sense the irony in your second paragraph also though. I used to post on the UKFF, when it meant something in 02-06, sporadically since I was trained however.

As you say I do find UKFF far too smarky. I prefer posting in places like this, where it's just general wrestling chat/debate. I can't stand the smugness of posters over there. In comparisson I don't think this is half as bad.

So just cause it's been used for ages that makes it ok? Don't talk shite. It's just so obvious what he's doing.

It's so obvious every time. Why does it being under the ring make a difference?

Theres no excuse for a poor blade job, if you re being "cute" about it then it should look legit. Otherwise use psychology, a simple little movement or positioning yourself in a certain way where nobody can see. I haven't seen the one in question, but if hiding under the ring means nobody can see then I don't really see the problem. You see it quite a lot, but I'd rather see that than the Corino one I posted earlier.
