I wanna say there's a good possibility Bam Bam could do one, no idea if he ever did. Also according to Wikipedia Mike Awesome was 290lbs. So it's practically like having the Undertaker land on you.

CM Junk posted:This is why I think it's particularly interesting that WWE touted the hell out of The Wrestler, which not only shows the darker side of many wrestlers' personal lives after their glory days, but also had scenes that explicitly took place at CZW and ROH shows. I guess so long as they're not showing any actual competition on WWE programming it's OK. Most people don't know that CZW and ROH are real, and are horrified to find out that CZW is real.

I would have thought someone would have told (Morrison, was it?) to go out there earlier.

Yeah, a lot of guys here had a huge hard-on for Ziggler up until that very promo. It was so bad it defies description. I thought Ziggler sucked the whole time so I was pretty  about the whole thing.

Nash also didn't ever want to do dives like that and only did it so he wouldn't piss off the agents who plugged that spot into the match. What I really want to see is him sunset-flipping Bob Backlund.

How did Goldberg debut in the WWE? I know he spears the Rock on Rock Appreciation Night, and that is his first appearance, but did they announce his arrival through vignettes, or did he appear earlier on that show. The crowd pretty much knows that he is coming, and Rock ignores their chants.

I recently watched Shawn Michaels vs The British Bulldog for the European title at One Night Only in Birmingham, England. Heel Shawn was really something special back then. He comes out bouncing around like hes high out of his mind which he probably was. Then goes up to some girls and buries his face in one of their chests and just hangs there for a few seconds. After that he grabs some kids Bulldog action figure and drops it down the front of his pants. During the match there's some spots similar to the Hogan Summerslam oversells. To top it off he goes on to win the European title for no apparent reason in Davey Boy's hometown no less and gets booed out of the building. So I just found this gem, anyone know what show/match it's from? Right up there with the Edge dick scratch but separate era's obviously.

For me it's dropping the towel so he can work the imaginary balls. He's a craftsman. I've never seen anything so offensive on television. Was this on PPV?

You are both wrong, its that just before HBK drops the towel, he points to the guy to make sure the guy is appropriately understanding the symbolism of the gesture.

Nope. The final Nitro was six days before WrestleMania X-Seven so WWF had bigger stuff on their plate at that point.

DannoMack posted:Was the intention ever to actually let Shane run WCW as a separate entity? It seems like it would have made sense to do it that way... There was definitely intention. WWF first tried to get someone under the Viacom umbrella to give them a two hour timeslot for WCW. They couldn't get it because they already took up a ton of programming. Next, they tried to request Monday Night Raw becoming Monday Nitro while Smackdown! is the WWF brand. That was refused. The next one was a little weirder. Someone else can fill the details, because I know I'm hazy on this, but I believe they were told they could get a show if they cut an hour out of Smackdown! and/or cut out an XFL broadcast and Vince balked at both. Unfortunately, nobody in the WWF was savvy enough at the time to consider WCW as an internet only show until they found TV. I think once the XFL crashed that Viacom would have been more willing to add more WWF programming, even if it was under the WCW banner. My opinion has always been that the WCW purchase would have been more successful if XFL didn't happen at the same time.

Whats the deal with Paul London? Havent watched wrestling in years but tonight someone posted a hilarious promo video of him and Bryan Danielson that made me watch a few other youtube videos. Dude looks incredibly charismatic/funny and also athletic as hell, reminds me of a younger and more agile Jericho or Christian. From what I read he had a brief stint in WWE but is no longer with them? What was his run like, why'd he get released, and what's the general consensus about him from you guys?

He was really good in the ring, but never really hit it off promo-wise. I agree he has some natural charisma, but I don't think it meshed well with whatever WWE tried to feed him. I've read that he and Kendrick were supposed to have some vignettes but they never aired because London was being a doof. That. and the whole smiling while Vince was going to his fiery doom.

He was in WWE for about 6 years, started off strong with a little tag title run with billy kidman, won the cruiserweight title, had a year long tag title run with brian kendrick, had a reputation of being a whiner and fairly regularly failed wellness for marijuana, and was utilized as a jobber in the latter half of his career. wwe banned the 450 and SSP for a few years after juventud guerrera botched it and almost broke london's face. Then they unbanned it when bourne was called up, london threw another hissy fit backstage, got released. oh and when vince mcmahon was walking to his limo that was to explode, every wwe superstar was lined up in the hallway with a solemn look on their face. except london who had a huge loving grin.

What's the general consensus on the truthfulness of the Ultimate Warrior documentary WWE put out? I saw it and thought it was pretty hilarious, but ridiculously one-sided. On the other hand, they made a pretty convincing argument for Warrior being a totally bat-poo poo crazy ego-maniac, so I dunno what to make of it. Are there any outside sources that corroborate the stuff they talk about in it?

His stint was for many years. WWE used to have a Cruiserweight division and he wound up winning the title and holding it for a few months. While he was champion I think Vince was souring on the Division and London has said that he was actually told to stop doing high flying moves like the 450 and SSP. He teamed up with Brian Kendrick for a few years and they wound up being the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions (SmackDown belts) in WWE. After they lost the belts they did nothing with London, then got rid of him. HulkaMatt fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Mar 8, 2010 |
