Any interesting stories of one guy just flat out refusing to take another guy's move? Bonus points if this decision is made during the match itself, with very short notice. Tyma fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Jan 17, 2021 |

edogawa rando posted:Excuse me, I think you're forgetting Cesaro's rugby union gimmick, where he wore the thigh padding that locks and loose forwards that take lineouts wear like Richie McCaw, the GOAT, is wearing here, in action at the 2011 Rugby World Cup. I remember the rugby thing just being some super weird late addition to his character, whereby commentary would just casually mention that he was a former pro player. I Zebre or Benetton actually had a player called Castagnoli playing in the Pro 12 at the time, to make it even weirder. He used to wear thigh supports when he was first starting in NXT, but I don't think he'd tape them up, or wear lifting pads. It would have been a super cool 'foreign object' gimmick, if he un-taped them, and attacked his helpless opponent with those squishy foam pads that we tape to our thighs for lineouts

TheKingslayer posted:Ok, so I know next to nothing about British wrestling and I've rarely seen Big Daddy outside of a couple clips. Why did he suck so bad and yet seems to have been very over in his part of the world? William Regal attempting to explain Big Daddy on Steve Austin's podcast : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JtMgLgWsew The TLDR is that after so many years of watching 2/3 fall technical matches, Big Daddy was basically Goldberg.

After confronting the Evil Bad Guy Team of IRS, Virgil and Ted Dibiase Jr, the heels lure The A Team into a room full of Sleeping Gas, and kidnap Rampage Jackson. In the ring, the evil mastermind is revealed to be Roddy Piper, who kayfabe believes Mr T and Rampage Jackson are the same person, and stole Lawler's crown in order to lure The A Team to WWE Raw, so that he can enact his revenge from Wrestlemania 2. The day is saved when Dusty Rhodes and Gene Okerlund storm the ring in a golf cart, allowing Rampage Jackson to break free of his plastic handcuffs, and potato Virgil so badly that everyone just rolls out of the ring, rather than taking any more bumps. Dusty Rhodes dances to the A Team theme song. 10 minutes later Bryan Danielson debuts on WWE RAW, and everyone forgets that he last 3 hours happened.

Halloween Jack posted:Sometimes I wonder if Vince goes to bed at night crying and furiously punching his pillow over all the horrible assholes desperately trying to give him money. Just thinking about his net worth going up with every DBD t-shirt sold and so angry about it. A huge part of the fervour was fans believing that Indie Darling Bryan Danielson was being held down in the WWE, and that no matter how much they cheered his character, Vince simply wouldn't allow him to become the #1 guy. This bled heavily into the onscreen angle, with him winning the belt, and then HHH immediately nullifying the win, and cutting a promo along the lines of "Hahaha, you thought we'd give the WWE Championship to indie wrestler Bryan Danielson? We only give the belt to Lifelong WWE Guys". They had heels intentionally stoke the flames, and play into the idea that Danielson was good enough to win the belt, but was being being held down by politics. It was a super weird time. It sold a lot of T-Shirts. I don't think they'd have as much money if they'd just given him the belt, instead of having him chase the belt, while making themselves look like assholes for not letting him win it.
