Where did "this is a shoot, brother" come from? Did Hogan actually say that at some point?

Much like, "You're not my father!" from Star Wars, the exact line never happened, but Hogan said poo poo like that all the time. One example is when he was recruiting Horace to the nWo. "What's your name?" "Horace." "No, brother. Let's shoot with this thing." "Horace... Hogan!"

That's the line everyone "remembers." When, the exchange really is: Vader: Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father. Luke: He told me enough! He told me you killed him! Vader: No. I am your father.

I've heard both. And my point was that neither is actually in Empire, much like the point I was trying to make about "This is a shoot, brother."

Hockles posted:"Luke, I am your father." I want to punch anybody that misquotes it. I didn't watch wrestling from late 2001-2004/5, so I missed out on Brock Lesnars run. Where the gently caress should I start with it and what matches should I watch? I want to be a witness of this poo poo.

Can anyone tell me why Steiner is gone from TNA? Did he get fired or did he quit? Did he and Hogan have a bad relationship or something? All I read is "Steiner gone from TNA" but no supporting details.

I'd like to hope that someone finally got through to him about needing to take it easy and heal up some, take some bulk off... maybe get some recreational pogo stick time?

It honestly didn't say that when I looked yesterday. Maybe it's because I followed a US goon's link, but it just had the dollar prices for subscriptions there.

I was digging around WWEClassics and they have 3 episodes of The Bobby Heenan Show up. That is something everyone needs to see, it's a piece of art.

Why did the Undertaker switch his finisher to the Last Ride when he came back as American Badass Taker? With his knees getting shoddier you'd figure he'd move away form moves the require him to support the entire weight of another person on top of him.

Pile drivers were banned for a period of time, and are still only used sparingly today, so he needed a new finisher. He did do the tombstone pile driver on Triple H when he returned with the bad rear end gimmick, and that pile driver led to the ban in the first place because Triple H got a stinger from it.

I forgot about the pile driver ban, but I thought that was because of Owen breaking Austin's neck? Didn't Steiner have a really ugly botch with his old pile driver finisher that's why he switched finishers too?

Interesting, on the wikipedia page it says only Undertaker and Kane are cleared to perform piledrivers in the WWE now, but I feel like I've seen other people performing them.

What's the source on these move "bans" that have happened from time to time? They always struck me as something that the IWC types just made up during slow news days.

I don't know about any others but the piledriver one was real, although they apparently make some exceptions for signature moves. I don't know who makes it official though. It just has to do with the risk of loving up and almost killing someone involved in a move. Piledrivers are on average extremely dangerous even if both people know what they're doing.

HBK piledrove Cena at a Wrestlemania. I find it hard to believe that HHH and HBK aren'y allowed do whatever move they want whenever they want, because they're trusted to be safe.

Wasn't one of the ironic things that it was Taker's piledriver that lead to the ban on piledrivers but one of the only wrestlers who was still allowed to do them because he was safe was.... Taker!?!

The weird thing is, the traditional piledriver is a pretty darn safe move as the head is totally protected. The tombstone is a bit more iffy since it is all up to placement.

John Cena was out for months because he tore his pec on a hip toss. If you're WWE you don't want your top stars doing anything that will provide unnecessary risk. You're going "hey, all my wrestlers are getting neck injuries. I'll ban piledrivers since that's one of the riskier moves. Also, the handful of times they're used will be super-over too." Hell, it's the same logic that worked in Mexico and Memphis if you look at the psychology of banning it. It was a banned move and the guy who took it acted like it could be a career-ending injury. The fans were conditioned to believe that it was a huge deal.

But in Memphis it was banned in the storyline, but not in real life (although what with it being lawlers finisher, I would be suprised if many other people ever used it in memphis anyway). So when King busted it out the fans knew it was banned and he was doing an illegal move (along with the "Its banned because its so dangerous!" cachet). In the WWE it was the opposite situation, it was banned in real life, but (as far as I know) never banned in the storylines, so it didnt gain that cachet, wrestlers just stopped using in. Unless I am mistaken, did they give a storyline reason for it being banned?

Taker!?! Welcome to the fantastic high school world of wrestling! Also it's nutty that someone could think the piledriver ban isn't true. The fact I can actually remember every time a standard piledriver has been performed in the past 5 years or so should be a good indicator.
