Why is it that pretty much every wrestling board is full of absolute poo poo? It's almost worse than youtube comments.

Is it something about the nature of wrestling fans or just the anonymity of the internet reaching out to all types of forums?

Note I'm for the most part talking about non-pay sites.

You know how people make fun of wrestling and say that idiots and children are the only ones who watch it, aside from a minority of geeks? Well... :smith:

Not as far as I know. It was just a comic. When they present at colleges they usually just do a Q and A and then make a strip.

They did a presentation at MIT and he drew that on the blackboard I think. it was after the comic came out so I don't think it was created for the presentation.

From what I've been told by folks who follow lucha aggressively, he kinda sucked, but then again, he trained Psicosis, Juvi, and Rey Jr. So he at least had something to offer the business.

We have all heard of things like the Dirty Sanchez or the Rusty Trombone. Pick a wrestler at random. Now what act should go with the wrestler you picked?

I gave a girl a Kamala. She got naked and I slapped her boobs while talking in tongues.

She thought you were nearly finished until you popped up looking refreshed and like nothing had happened?

Seriously, these should get their own thread. It'd be entertaining and wouldn't kill this one like the Matt Facts did the Hardy thread :(

Wrestling question: Is there a common opinion on who is the most hated heel of all time (in terms of actual boos they got and not just because they are a bad person) and how did they achieve that level of heat?

Forearm
Nov 14, 2005
Big Boss Man exemplified midcard heel heat. He ate people's dogs, made their mothers admit they were bastards, stole coffins from funerals, and beat prisoners. He wrote poetry with lines like "If I had a son as stupid as you/I'd wish for cancer, so I could die too." He also raised briefcases and was hanged by The Brood.

Anyway, I Daniel Bryan'd my GF. I lost out to much less talented men, choked out an authority figure and was sent packing for three months.

In his blog today, Jim Ross said Taz could have been a Main-eventer in the WWE/F and I somewhat agree, so what held him back - his size? character? Injuries?

Injuries. He had neck issues just like many of the other wrestlers. Then he just sort of became a jovial, slightly heelish announcer.

Injuries, basically. His neck was already hosed when he came into the WWF in 2000.

Maybe not a main eventer, but a Big Show style position was definitely reachable for Tazz. Shame about his neck.

BAEST MODE!!!
I doubt Tazz would have become close to a main eventer in the WWE. He just wasn't a great worker, and when you are that size you need to be to get a push. His entire mystique was being pushed as this badass shooter who wrecked everybody. If WWE wanted to push someone with a shoot mystique they had Angle at that point. If they wanted a vanilla midget, they had Benoit.

There was no way they were going to push Tazz the way he was pushed in ECW and thus he wasn't going to make it nearly as far.

Taz stinks. I said it. He was small, fat, wasn't a great worker, had no charisma, was a faux badass, and got injured occasionally.

April 13, 1998, and it was 84 weeks.

quote:

* Skull & 8-Ball fought Savio Vega & Jose Estrada to a no contest in a chain match at 2:15 when DX interfered and helped Los Boricuas in attacking the DOA; after the match, Chyna hit a low blow on both Savio and Jose

* Brian Christopher & Scott Taylor fought Aguila & Pantera to a no contest when Vince McMahon came out to accept a match with Steve Austin for the title later in the night

* WWF Light Heavyweight Champion Taka Michinoku defeated Jeff Jarrett via disqualification in a non-title match when Club Kamikaze attacked the champion before the match, with Jarrett applying the figure-4 afterwards

* Terry Funk & Scorpio defeated the Quebecers at 2:14 when Scorpio made the pin with the 450 splash after avoiding the Quebecars' finisher

* Ken Shamrock & Steve Blackman fought Bob Holly & Bart Gunn (w/ Jim Cornette) to a double disqualification at 3:43 when all four men began brawling; before the match, Shamrock had a staredown with Dan Severn, who came ringside with the NWA contingent, forcing the referee to send Severn backstage

* Owen Hart pinned WWF Tag Team Champion Billy Gunn at 8:36; Triple H and X-Pac did guest commentary for the bout while the Legion of Doom and Sunny stood at ringside

* WWF World Champion Steve Austin (with his arm tied behind his back) fought Vince McMahon (w/ Pat Patterson & Gerald Brisco) to a no contest when Dude Love came ringside and tried to break the fight up; in the ensuing altercation, Dude eventually locked the Mandible Claw on Austin.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The tag-team of Ken Shamrock and Steve Blackman was what finally convinced me that wrestling was 100% fake. I could not believe that schlubs like the New Midnight Express wouldn't just walk away crying when those two were coming down the ramp.

You're allowed to be something of a pissy douchebag when your girlfriend cheats on you. Especially if it's with somebody you know. You just don't, y'know, make a big deal about it in public if you're famous.
