Sionistic posted:Wasnt it that shannon moore had a few weeks of promos, and then punk just suddenly showed up in one, called him a poser, and they had a match next week? Good God no, not at all. Punk got weeks and weeks of promos building him up, and he debuted at the Hammerstein Ballroom which was a guaranteed pop for him and made him look like a huge loving star even though he really wasn't anybody. Shannon Moore was getting (serious) promos as the "Prince of Punk" when he appeared at a house show where the raucous fans (old school ECW fans were still coming to the shows at that time) were giving him poo poo, and he got on the microphone and told them,"I'm not here to impress the Internet." This was very poorly looked on backstage, up to that point Vince (at the time having a strong interest in ECW) had been a Moore supporter but that ended because he'd allowed himself to get worked up by the crowd and failed to come back at them effectively. The next week, his promo saw him acting more campy than before, and quoting Justin Timberlake instead of old school Punk music. CM Punk then walked up to him, called him a poser and slapped him upside the head.

It was very exagerated and effeminate, and even if you didn't know the story you could watch it and tell the dude pissed someone off.

Banjo can't post about WWE anymore because he is Bryan Danielson.

Hockles posted:That wasn't rhetorical, I am really interested as to how you are so knowledgeable. Reading the Wrestling Observer and listening to their sites interviews is usually the best way to get news (please don't start a stupid OMG Meltzer lies discussion, it's done to death and we know the arguments for and against). Sites repost some of or misquote Meltzer, so I reccomend just subscribing on-line if you really are interested. For learning how to work matches and be a wrestler, Secrets of the Ring with Raven is entertaining and educational. Of course, take his stories with a grain of salt and realize he doesn't he doesn't always practice what he preaches because he's lazy (to paraphrase Lance Storm). Also, I've watched the product for over 20 years. Wrestlers can say their "you don't know about working unless you've been in the ring" but it's bullshit. Film and art critics don't need to be directors, actors, painters, etc. to be good critics, coaches and commentators aren't always the best players, and even a general fan can tell you when a match is bad. They may not know why, but they can usually tell something is off.

Did Tommy Dreamer ever get a serious push on Raw or Smackdown? I was thinking about this, and I recall him having the hardcore title for a bit but that was it. I think he was even used as just a guy in the background in the Alliance.

What does "Hackenschmidt screwed Hackenschmidt" (sp?) mean or where did it come from? Provided it's not just a saying you guys came up with.

Provided it's not just a saying you guys came up with. georg hackenshmidt was to drop the title to frank gotch in a 2/3 falls match, with him winning the first fall in a long match. instead, gotch shot on him and legit pinned him very quickly in both falls making him look bad (back in the 20s wrestling skill and ability still mattered and losing that fast killed your credibility). hackenshmidt retired shortly after.

Obviously from wikipedia quote:Hackenschmidt met Gotch again on 4 September 1911 at the newly opened Comiskey Park in Chicago, which drew a crowd of nearly 30,000 spectators and a record gate of $87,000. The rematch is one of the most controversial and talked about matches in wrestling history, as Hackenschmidt injured his knee in a training session with Ad Santel weeks before the match, and it was later alleged that Gotch had paid off Santel to ensure that Hackenschmidt was not at 100% condition for the rematch. The injury was so severe that Hackenschmidt nearly withdrew from the match, but agreed to go on with the match only after Gotch had fabricated the claim that he also had an injury (his neck), but was still willing to compete regardless. Before the match, the two had allegedly agreed on Gotch winning the match, but under the condition that Gotch lost the first fall so that Hackenschmidt would look strong in defeat. Despite their agreement before the match, Gotch ended up double-crossing Hackenschmidt by quickly defeating him in two straight falls. Hackenschmidt retired shortly after, due to recurring injuries. Hackenschmidt screwed Hackenschmidt is a play on Bret Hart screwed Bret Hart that came in the fallout of the Montreal Screwjob. edit: I don't care if I was beaten

I think he was even used as just a guy in the background in the Alliance. He had a gimmick as a guy who eats gross stuff for a while, and he threw up in a bucket and drank The Undertaker's spit. That's the most attention I remember him getting.

Atticus Finch posted:I dunno if this was a push, but he was very visible for a few weeks/months on RAW as "guy who does gross things." If I remember tonight, the first Jackass movie was out around this time, and I have a vague recollection of the IWC referring to him as "Tommy Knoxville" around this point.

Matlock posted:Has a screwjob ever come out to a positive situation for the guy getting screwed? You mean the many fake screwjobs that gets thrown out every time the WWE holds a major event in Canada or real screwjobs? Piggybacking off this question: How many real screwjobs have their been in major promotions? I can only recall one and that's Montreal. By screwjob I am limiting it to things going "off script" with support from the head of the promotion or someone like that. Judakel fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Jan 2, 2010 |

There's Russo allegedly turning a worked promo into a shoot on Hogan in WCW - although I'm not sure who ended up screwed out of that, maybe the fans? Here's my question - why the hell did Hogan come out clean shaven for a period in WCW?

That wasn't a shoot, he just got too personal for Hogan's liking

Taz vs Bam Bam Bigelow at Heatwave 98 Tajiri vs Psicosis Any Tajiri vs Super Crazy match Born to Be Wired is good for what it was. The triple threat and resulting Title match from Barely Legal RVD vs Jerry Lynn And the Dreamer vs C.W. Anderson I Quit match from the last PPV is quite good as well. And Dudleys vs Balls Mahoney and Spike Dudley was an awesome hardcore match even before the flaming table spot.

Does anyone remember a wrestling spin-off on the Nickleodian channel? It was Schiavone and Ventura commentating kids remote controlled car races? It lasted all of one week, there was a pilot then it was never spoken of again.

DannoMack posted:Did Mick Foley leave WWE on good terms? Foley's contract ran out. Vince was pretty mad at Foley when he wanted to go to TNA in 2005 and doubled the offer to prevent that. I'm guessing he isn't their favorite person but they'd work with him again after TNA.
