Owens has a friendly relationship with Austin and has been wanting to use the stunner in WWE for a while before he started using it. Austin gave him his blessing as long as he did it right I think he used to use it infrequently on the indies too although generally in the context of an obvious callback to Austin

It led to a funny diatribe from Austin on his podcast about the exact mechanics of the Stunner and how if you didn't properly kick the guy in the gut first then it was the difference between landing a knockout punch in boxing after taking the wind out of the opponent and just plain hitting him in the head

I think you treat it like custody of a child when a parent cannot care for them for whatever reason: find the parent's closest living relative. In this case, that's Edge's brother Christian. So! 2012.03.04 - Christian assumes guardianship of his legal nephew Dominic 2012.06.19 - Alberto Del Rio defeats Christian 2012.06.23 - Sheamus defeats Del Rio 2012.10.02 - CM Punk defeats Sheamus 2012.11.12 - John Cena defeats CM Punk 2012.12.16 - Dolph Ziggler defeats John Cena 2012.12.26 - John Cena defeats Dolph Ziggler 2013.08.18 - Daniel Bryan defeats John Cena 2013.08.18 - Randy Orton defeats Daniel Bryan 2013.09.15 - Daniel Bryan defeats Randy Orton (they can vacate a title, but not custody!) 2013.10.27 - Randy Orton defeats Daniel Bryan 2014.01.13 - Kofi Kingston defeats Randy Orton 2014.01.27 - Alberto Del Rio defeats Kofi Kingston 2014.02.16 - Batista defeats Alberto Del Rio 2014.02.24 - Alberto Del Rio defeats Batista 2014.02.28 - Sin Cara defeats Alberto Del Rio 2014.03.08 - Bad News Barrett defeats Sin Cara 2014.05.27 - Sheamus defeats Bad News Barrett 2014.06.10 - Cesaro defeats Sheamus 2014.06.30 - Kofi Kingston defeats Cesaro 2014.07.04 - Cesaro defeats Kofi Kingston 2014.07.07 - Kofi Kingston defeats Cesaro 2014.07.11 - Cesaro defeats Kofi Kingston 2014.07.12 - Rob Van Dam defeats Cesaro 2014.07.14 - Alberto Del Rio defeats Rob Van Dam 2014.07.22 - THE BIG DOG ROMAN REIGNS defeats Alberto Del Rio 2015.07.19 - Bray Wyatt defeats Roman Reigns 2015.08.01 - THE BIG DOG ROMAN REIGNS defeats Bray Wyatt 2015.09.11 - Seth Rollins defeats Roman Reigns 2015.09.20 - John Cena defeats Seth Rollins 2015.10.25 - Alberto Del Rio defeats John Cena 2015.11.22 - THE BIG DOG ROMAN REIGNS defeats Alberto Del Rio 2015.11.22 - Sheamus defeats Roman Reigns 2015.12.14 - THE BIG DOG ROMAN REIGNS defeats Sheamus 2015.06.19 - Seth Rollins defeats Roman Reigns 2016.06.19 - Dean Ambrose defeats Seth Rollins 2016.09.11 - AJ Styles defeats Dean Ambrose 2016.10.11 - James Ellsworth defeats AJ Styles 2016.12.20 - AJ Styles defeats James Ellsworth, saving Dominic's Christmas 2017.01.29 - John Cena defeats AJ Styles 2017.03.12 - Bray Wyatt defeats John Cena 2017.04.02 - Randy Orton defeats Bray Wyatt 2017.04.30 - Bray Wyatt defeats Randy Orton in the House of Horrors match, which is where he takes Dominic to live 2017.05.06 - Finn Balor defeats Bray Wyatt e: At this point I screwed up, but I guess you can see an alternate universe where they didn't randomly job Finn out to Roman one Raw. 2017.07.24 - Elias Samson defeats Finn Balor 2017.07.28 - Finn Balor defeats Elias Samson 2017.08.14 - Bray Wyatt defeats Finn Balor 2017.08.20 - Finn Balor defeats Bray Wyatt 2017.10.20 - Braun Strowman defeats Finn Balor 2018.11.02 - Brock Lesnar defeats Braun Strowman 2019.04.07 - Seth Rollins defeats Brock Lesnar 2019.07.14 - Brock Lesnar defeats Seth Rollins 2019.08.11 - Seth Rollins defeats Brock Lesnar And that's where we are right now.

I'm just glad Dominic managed to dodge spending Christmas with James Ellsworth. I'll probably continue it later. I think it's very interesting how custody of Dominic goes from the midcard with Christian to the main event, then back down into the midcard for a year before going back to the main event scene.

Continuing: The last champion I have per Cagematch is Elias on 8/20/19. I know the info there is stale, as Elias's last match there is a KotR Quarterfinal vs. Ali on 9/3, and I'm pretty sure someone beat him since. Elias's reign is the 97th transfer of custody of Dominic since Rey beat Eddie. But from where Edge retired: 2012/03/04: Vacated by Edge, nearest wrestling relative: Christian 2012/06/19: Alberto del Rio 2012/06/23: Sheamus 2012/10/02: CM Punk 2012/11/12: John Cena 2012/12/16: Dolph Ziggler 2012/12/26: John Cena 2013/08/18: Daniel Bryan 2013/08/18: Randy Orton 2013/09/15: Daniel Bryan 2013/10/27: Randy Orton 2014/01/13: Kofi Kingston 2014/01/27: Alberto del Rio 2014/02/16: Batista 2014/02/24: Alberto del Rio 2014/02/28: Sin Cara 2014/03/08: Bad News Barrett 2014/05/27: Sheamus 2014/06/10: Cesaro 2014/06/30: Kofi Kingston 2014/07/04: Cesaro 2014/07/07: Kofi Kingston 2014/07/11: Cesaro 2014/07/12: Rob Van Dam 2014/07/14: Alberto del Rio 2014/07/22: Roman Reigns 2015/02/02: Big Show 2015/02/06: Roman Reigns 2015/03/02: Seth Rollins 2015/03/06: John Cena 2015/05/31: Kevin Owens 2015/06/14: John Cena 2015/08/23: Seth Rollins 2015/09/07: Ryback 2015/09/08: Seth Rollins 2015/09/20: John Cena 2015/10/25: Alberto del Rio 2015/11/22: Roman Reigns 2015/11/22: Sheamus 2015/12/14: Roman Reigns 2016/06/19: Seth Rollins 2016/06/19: Dean Ambrose 2016/09/11: A J Styles 2016/10/04: John Cena 2017/03/12: Bray Wyatt 2017/04/02: Randy Orton 2017/04/30: Bray Wyatt 2017/05/06: Finn Balor 2017/05/15: Roman Reigns 2017/06/19: Samoa Joe 2017/07/09: Brock Lesnar 2018/08/19: Roman Reigns 2019/06/07: Shane McMahon 2019/08/11: Kevin Owens 2019/08/13: Samoa Joe 2019/08/17: Kevin Owens 2019/08/20: Elias Important weird note: Custody never went to someone employed outside WWE.

Did Crush just start using the same facepaint from his Demolition days when he became "Japanese Sympathizer Crush"? Also, when I was a kid, I always wanted a pair of Adam Bomb glasses. At a house show in the early 90s I was in the front row and Bret Hart gave me his glasses. The cord was already broken and the foam around the edges was soaked in Bret sweat. I threw them out on the way home because I didn't like him at the time and they smelled loving terrible. I was nine years old.

Were the recurring jobbers on WWF Superstars mostly local workers, or was there of a handful of contracted job guys in there? Like I believe Brooklyn Brawler was with WWF full time despite performing exclusively as a jobber (correct me if I'm wrong). And what about a guy like Barry Horowitz? I assumed he started local and eventually got signed when he did the angle with Candido/Skip. Minidust fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Oct 15, 2019 |

Barry Horowitz had a run in the late 80s where he was a jobber who would actually sometimes get wins against people even lower on the totem pole than he was (including David Sammartino and, amazingly enough, Ken Shamrock in 1988) before he left and came back for his New Generation jobber career where he got that weird mini-push from beating Candido

mike sharpe had a similar obsessive mind to that of a guy like chris benoit. then he went into the training business which is a terrible idea for a person with ocd and who was generally a perfectionist. it somehow worked out well. if he had received just a few more concussions it may not have.
