This line is in like every wrestling article on Wikipedia, it's my favourite by far:quote:The championship was generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. It shows wikipedia's hilarious failings as an encyclopedia, because really, you should just reference that the title is a pro wrestling title, and anyone who doesn't understand what pro wrestling is should read the pro wrestling article. You don't explain the concept of something that has its own entry, in every single entry related to it. Imagine if every time you looked up a Canadian province in an encyclopedia it had a line like this, "Ontario s a province of Canada, which is a commonwealth dominion with a parliamentary government, formed by confederation in 1865."

A discussion in the spoilers thread reminded me of a question I asked a looooooooooooong time ago that nobody really had an answer to, so I'll try it again now: What is the best Kane match?

Kane vs. Benoit was a good one. It's funny to see Lawler push that Kane deserves "a moment in the sun! So he can walk down the street and people won't be afraid of him!"

MrMondayNight posted:The one where he put a big dent in the entrance ramp using Mankind? That match was awesome Yeah, it was a good example of Foley's typical "I'll make us BOTH come out of this match better off than we were before!" style of thinking. Up till that point Kane hadn't been given pause by anybody but everybody knew Mankind was crazy and had been the only one who had ever really caused trouble for the Undertaker. So the match happens with a guy who has pretty much made his impact by no-selling everything and killing people with a single chokeslam/tombstone combo - and Mankind manages to show that Kane wasn't just a paper tiger and actually WAS scary resilient and unstoppable.... but also that Mankind himself was deranged and had to be beaten into unconsciousness before he'd stop coming after you. The bit where Mankind levels Kane by smashing him so hard with a "lead pipe" that it wrapped around Kane's head.... and then Kane sat back up moments later was a loving awesome moment and did a great job of making people think that maybe Kane COULD beat the Undertaker when they finally fought down the line.

I don't really understand why they don't book Kane to be as strong as the Undertaker sometimes. I mean the Undertaker is a better wrestler, but still. Also I'll second Kane v. Benoit at Bad Blood '04 as almost certainly the best Kane match.

Ask him what he thinks of Percy. Edit: Also, ask him how he would stop the oil leak in the Gulf. And punching it in the god damned face isn't a solution. Push El Burrito fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Jun 2, 2010 |

Actually: "Which wrestler has been the biggest mentor to you?" "Have you and Miz ever had any real life student-coach interactions like you do during the tag-team?" "Who do you think is the biggest up-and-comer currently in the WWE/outside of the WWE?" "What do you think of the direction of the WWE steered more towards children and away from the "Attitude"-style format?" "Who do you wrestle only because you have to (aka do not like?)" Comedy option: "If it weren't for Hulk Hogan, what's to stop you from painting yourself green and wrestling as The Hulk?"
