I vaguely recall both of the angles below, but I feel like they were heelish under Hayes/Hendrix, and maybe turning face with Terri?





Important to mention that they got Terri as their valet after they won the Terri Invitational Tournament. TIT. D'ya geddit?

Anyway, look at all these dopes ignoring Tanahashi's great heel run as Gokiburi Mask.

Even disregarding the storyline alignment of his character, Jeff Hardy was objectively a heel at Victory Road 2011

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Road_(2011)

quote:

According to reports, the main event was cut short due to backstage concern over Jeff Hardy's wellbeing.

While Hardy's entrance music played, he did not come out for over 40 seconds before he emerged, clearly intoxicated and under the influence of drugs, then stumbled out and staggered his way into the ring, forcing referee Brian Hebner to give an "X" sign during Sting's entrance to the ring.

Following an audible from Eric Bischoff, and Hardy spending over a minute teasing the crowd over whether or not he'd throw his shirt, Sting hit Hardy with his Scorpion Death Drop and forcefully shoot pinned him to end the match in 88 seconds. Upon exiting the ring, Sting responded to chants from fans who were outraged at the result, including one fan who was heard to tell him "That was bullshit!", by saying "I agree! I agree!".

TNA later apologized to its fans for the pay-per-view "falling short of their standard" and offered six months of free access to the TNAondemand.com library to anyone who bought the event.

As a result of the fiasco that unfolded at Victory Road, Jeff Hardy was subsequently sent home from Impact! tapings the following week, and written out of the next month of TNA programming. It was later reported that while Hardy was considered "fine" throughout the day, it was moments before his match that he was deemed unable to compete. Hardy had been abusing drugs and alcohol, and completed a 120-day rehab during his time away from TNA.

Come to think of it, was Ultimate Warrior ever a heel? Except IRL, of course.

When he started out as one half of The Blade Runners, then when he moved on to World Class and became The Dingo Warrior, he was a heel.

No, the heel is whoever the gently caress let him go out there. Luckily, Sting was a professional and just took care of it quickly and safely.

Had Michael Hayes been off National TV long enough that it was reasonable to rebrand him as Dok Hendrix, or is that just a big head-scratching 'what the gently caress' for Vince?

Hayes had been on WCW as recently as Jan 1994. He started as Dok Hendrix on April 14, 1995. I assume it was one of those normal Vince "No one cares about southern wrestling or knows who the gently caress Michael Hayes is anyway" things

Hi, here are some random questions:

1. Has anyone listened to this album? On purpose? How bad is it? I remember seeing it at THE WALL, and I was initially excited, because I thought it was theme music. Nope, it's wrestlers singing, for some godforsaken reason. Even as a 12 year old, I had no interest in whatever the hell this was:



2. Based on Triple H's handling of NXT, how do you think a HHH-run company would do?

3. Is there a website out there that has a list of wrestling moves with a .gif or something of the move being done, so as to properly understand/identify the move?

4. I just caught that Owen recycled the K-Driller/seated Tombstone for a thing with Dan Severn that I've forgotten about. How was that received at the time, and why would they do this, given Austin was the biggest star in the company?



5. Did anyone listen to Dan Severn speak before WWE hired him? Or even the NWA?

Bruce Prichard talked about it recently:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH7gbqLZiVQ

tldr - Vince hated Michael Hayes' long hair and his name, and when he was brought to Titan Towers for his tryout, they had a barber in Vince's office to cut his hair on the spot

After they cut his hair and were brainstorming names, someone commented that he looked like Tonight Show bandleader Doc Severinsen, and Hayes chose the name "Hendrix" after Jimi Hendrix.

It was terrible, but as an eight-year-old, I loved it. I could probably still sing along to every song. Who can forget lyrics like, “Tatanka. Buffalo.” and, “Hacksaw Jim Duggan b-b-beats people up!”?

A friend in Primary School had it & did me a copy of it. I listened to it so loving much you wouldn't believe. 2 & a half decades later I still am just cutting about in day to day life & bits of it pop into my brain out of nowhere, like the aforementioned Hacksaw Jim Duggan b-b-beats people up-up-up & The Nasty Boys are just plain nasty & the utterly bizarre Speaking From The Heart featuring Randy Savage.

Obviously it's terrible but I have such fond memories of it. Despite it being unfiltered garbage. Or because of it.
