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)...

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
