Is there any word on what HBK, HHH, Vince, etc think of Flair wrestling again? Around the retirement festivities, I remember everything being so sentimental between them all what with the ceremonies, Rolex watches, "I'll never wrestle again out of respect for HBK" talk, etc. Now with Flair out there cutting heel promos about how they forced him to retire and whatnot, is it "oh that zany Flair needs the money to pay off his wives" or does everyone think he's making a fool of himself?

There's nothing in the parenting handbook that says it's acceptable to teach your son to love mediocrity.  Maybe you should take him to see Twilight next, that's popular too.

An odd question: When was the last time Cena actually SAID "You Can't See Me?" It's weird, because it's his catchphrase and yet it feels like he hasn't said it in forever.

He'll probably want the new John Cena pj's in a different colour scheme that come out in three months time too.

I recall reading some interview thing from a few months back about Flair WANTING to get back into wrestling, and Triple H or Shawn Michaels said something along the lines of,"Well that's Ric for you!" They (WWE) gave him an incredible send-off, and have done a good job of keeping him retired from WWE, and as far as I know he has avoided actually wrestling in North America since (and for far longer than anyone thought he would last), anything he says during heel promos is hardly going to upset any of his friends since he's just doing heel promos.

He wears the shirt with the saying on it, it's in his entrance music and he gets the crowd to say it in basically every match. It's kinda like how DX stopped saying suck it - they just had two words for you.

Flair was only willing to wrestle again with HBK and Vince's blessing, so they don't really care too much. They probably understand better than anyone that no one retires from wrestling.

HorseHeadBed posted:Why is Jake Roberts referred to as Jake the Sanem on this forum? It was a typo in a title thread about him a long time ago. Look at your keyboard. See how it's nearly impossible to accidentally type "sanem" instead of "snake?" That, combined with "sanem" sounding vaguely like the title of a holy man in some foreign culture, means it stuck.

I think "You can't see me" is more a throwback to his earlier gimmick. Much like pumping up his sneakers. And his throwback jerseys. Were also throwbacks. Throwback. Mind you his other catchphrase is "The champ is hurr", so not a great selection by any means. I love how he tries to awkwardly get it in occasionally even when not the champ. Much like the NAO's intro speil when they weren't tag champs.

They see a few YouTube clips, and I've been known to call them "Little Jobbers" from time to time. Both the 8-year-old and the 5-year-old are CHIKARA fans, though. The boy, in particular, loves him some Ants.

If you watch that Regal/Goldberg match without knowing that Goldberg is no-selling everything it doesn't look that strange. Your typical mark wouldn't notice anything weird going on. Regal merely upped the level of his offence to get the responses he wanted. Which means turning it all the way up to "stiffing the poo poo out of him" if need be.

Your typical mark wouldn't notice anything weird going on. The way Meltzer (I think) explained it, WCW told Regal to give Goldberg a good match. Regal, with a background in old-style carny wrestling, took that to mean "guide this big, untrained lug through a back-and-forth fight, hold his hand the whole way and in this case, let him win." WCW, of course, meant for Regal to sell his rear end off in a squash that looked good.

Honestly, knowing that it was all scripted but not following dirt back then, I remember the match and thinking "boy, Regal's loving great." Like it didn't look bad to me, just that Goldberg hit his first real challenge in the technical master Regal. Even though I thought Regal was just a creepy fat British guy with a lovely haircut. He just seemed so good at rasslin! It came off as Goldberg's first good match, I think is what I'm saying.

Meat Recital posted:My favorite Goldberg story has Raven trying to teach Goldberg how to sell. Goldberg is unresponsive, and Goldberg tells Raven he wont sell because "he wouldn't sell in a real fight". Raven gives up trying to teach Goldberg to sell.  And Raven just throws up his arms, like "gently caress it, I'm starting to come down anyway, and I haven't even found a rat to plow yet." Also, Crankyprof, don't feel bad about the Cena jammies, your kid likes a character that is marketed to be his own personal superhero. Cena isn't my favorite wrestler by a long shot, but he is by all accounts a very nice guy and he really seems to care about his fans and the kids that idolize him. If he wanted some Hogan poo poo, you should feel bad because Hogan is an awful wrestler and an rear end in a top hat, but Cena spends half his life making dying children happy, so padding his wallet isn't such a bad thing.

Hockles posted:There's a new ant!? Hell, I haven't been following CHIKARA enough as I want to. They are expensive to follow. The two main ants are still Fire and Soldier. (Current Chikara Campeones de Parejas, too!) Worker Ant was retired back in February by F.I.S.T., specifically by Chuck Taylor's Omega Driver on the floor of the venue. Green Ant made his first appearance that same night, coming out to check on the fallen Worker, though Green didn't have a match for like two months. Back in May, at Anniversario Yang, toward the end of the Colony vs F.I.S.T. (Icarus & Chuck Taylor) Masks vs Hair match, Akuma took out Green, but then a brown ant (Carpenter Ant) showed up and took out Akuma. Carpenter made his official debut in August at Young Lions Cup VII, made a pretty good showing against Soldier (heavy striking and drat good submissions), and teamed with Green a few times through the fall. He also won the Torneo Cibernetico, eliminating Soldier with an INVERTED Chikara Special. Then at the end of the Season 8 Finale, "Three Fisted Tales," he turned out to be part of the BDK group, along with Vokoder/Tim Donst, Sara Del Rey, Daizee Haze, Ares, Claudio, a big Viking guy, and an unnamed eighth member. And Carpenter unmasked to reveal that he was Pinkie Sanchez.

So did Rock. I wonder if it's something Vince turns guys on to. Goldberg did it all the time too. It's pretty big in Wrestling. Make a Wish doesn't pay people, right? Because that would make it way less cool.
