In what is being called a revolutionary leap forward in professional wrestling defensive techniques, WWE Superstar Titus O?Neil discovered today that it is possible to block or otherwise evade repeated chops to the chest.

 
Employing a technique often used by boxers and MMA fighters, but never previously used by pro wrestlers, O?Neil brought his arms close to his chest, thus blocking a chop attempt by opponent The Big Show.
 
?I had already been chopped a couple of times, which really stings,? recalls O?Neil. ?So I thought to myself: how can I avoid getting chopped again??
 
O?Neil said a ?light bulb went off? in his head, as it dawned on him that he could protect the sensitive flesh of his pectoral region by using the protective shield of his forearms, rather than just keeping his arms draped uselessly over the top rope. He was able to anticipate the next chop because the Big Show insisted on theatrically shushing the live audience first.
 
News of O?Neil?s innovation spread like wildfire through pro wrestling locker rooms worldwide ? even to Japan, where entire matches are predicated on unblocked choppage to the chest.
 
Wrestling experts now believe that, if the chop-blocking strategy had been discovered sooner, Ric Flair would never have won a wrestling championship.

^^ Anyone watched Lucha Underground yet? First episode aired this Wednesday.

 

 

That looks pretty damn good, but I don't know if I could take an hour (or however long it is) of dudes (and dudettes) screaming and yelling in spanish, let alone really thick accents trying to sound evil or whatever lol I mean, I know most of if not all of them speak English (and do it better than most Americans) but eh.

 

Still, that Catarina woman? Holy cow what a body, and that super skin tight dress skin thing she wore....yikes. Also, Konnan? Wow, wrestling really took it's toll on him. I knew he had some bad physical injuries and what have you left over from his in ring days, but I didn't realize he was in a wheelchair with a cane. :(

I haven't watched it yet, but it's on an English-language channel, so it might not be that bad. I'll let you know after I've caught up with ROH. :P

Oh yeah, Maxine from the old NXT. She was similarly smashing back then too (as William Regal would probably say)...

    • State of Decay 2, Blasphemous 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days

      State of Decay 2, Blasphemous 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The latest Free Play Days offer has just kicked off, giving Xbox players the chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. The offerings this time aren't as massive as last weekend, but there are still major releases for Xbox players to jump into. This includes Undead Labs' post-apocalyptic title State of Decay 2, as well as two Team17-published titles. Two of the games being offered this time are available to all Xbox players without needing any kind of Game Pass subscription. In the fully free-to-play section, you can jump into State of Decay 2. The title is both an action survival title and a community builder, letting players choose a map, set up their base, and try to keep the growing zombie threat at bay. Cooperative play is available too. Don't forget that the studio is preparing a third entry for 2027. Next, Blasphemous 2 drops in for Metroidvania and Soulslike fans, where The Penitent One returns for another adventure. The title has tough combat with multiple weapon options, deadly traps to avoid, and platforming sequences requiring a lot of patience and timing. Keep in mind though that the offer does have a 5-hour time limit attached to it. Lastly, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the WWII-set first-person shooter Hell Let Loose. The multiplayer game offers 50 vs 50 combat in massive maps, with infantry, tank, and artillery options available for players. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: Hell Let Loose (Xbox Series X|S, PC) State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition (Xbox Series X|S, PC) Blasphemous 2 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. The Free Play Days collection will show up in this area. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 11, at 11:59 pm PT.
