savinhill posted:Nothing beats Jericho's heel work in WCW. These are two completely different things. In WCW he was a midcard comedy act, in his last WWE heel run he was a main/semi-main event level self-righteous heel. It's like saying that Caddyshack is a better sports movie than Rudy. They're both about a sport but the differences in intent, genre, and everything else are huge.

Hey Wrestlehut, seeing Miz cash in and win on RAW last night got me thinking that I can't remember the last time a WWE/WHC title belt changed hands on RAW. Wasn't it Edge in '06, or am I missing something? Thanks in Advance.

Would you believe some assclown reuploaded it without giving me any credit? Captain Hats, if you're looking for other things to watch involving great heels (bad guys), I recommend watching my Eddie Guerrero in 2000 and The Rock in 1998 videos. http://www.dailymotion.com/user/Ninjafish Here's The Rock turning heel http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2n69b_rock-mankind-story-part-1_sport http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2n6d7_rock-mankind-story-part-2_sport Here's Eddie turning on Chyna http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3crw2_eddie-guerrero-as-a-heel-in-2000-1_sport (This is 11 parts long if you want to see the rest) Also, you must see Jericho's debut http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x30wrc_jericho-s-wwf-debut-unedited-versio_sport and Stone Cold as a villain in 96 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2nf79_buildup-to-bret-vs-austin-at-surviv_sport That should give you some idea of what wrestling is all about.

savinhill posted:I like the weekly LAW(Live Audio Wrestling) Show. The podcast is a recording of a Sirius wrestling radio show. They go over the latest news in wrestling, have a weekly interview with Dave Meltzer and a wrestling personality, and another segment where they review an old PPV. This is the download link to their latest show: That sounds exactly like what I was after. I also really enjoyed the Colt Cabanna show, not that I know anything about him but he's fantastic at beinjg interesting on radio. What about some shoots, brothers?

Super Ninja Fish posted:Here's Eddie turning on Chyna This is the one we should all be talking about. Has a heel turn ever been done this realistically? It's completely understandable why Eddie would blow up at Chyna and start treating her like poo poo. It's also understandable why Chyna would feel betrayed by Eddie. It all started off so innocently too. She even references the fact that Raw was being filmed. She went home and watched a replay of Raw and saw Eddie smiling behind her back. When is the last time that happened? For that matter, when is the last time we had a good realistic heel turn?

Is *tears off shirt to reveal nWo* heel turn a running gag with everyone of a certain age, or are my group of friends just total nerds? ie: playing pickup hoops, you stuff your team-mate as he goes for a layup, then start high-fiving the other team and pretending to have an nWo shirt on underneath yours

I don't know if it's the same thing as what you're talking about but people make jokes all the time about (for example) Brett Favre pulling off his jersey to reveal the other team's.

If I remember correctly didn't they lose that subtlty soon after by having Chyna catch Eddie in the shower with some hos or something? The only other recent turn I can think of is Jericho's heel turn against HBK in 2008 which was pretty much justified based on Michaels' past. My question is this, Dean Malenko's real name is Dean Simon so I'm guessing that the Simon Dean gimmick is a play on his name. Are there any other gimmick names that are ribs or riffs on wrestlers' real names?

That was perfect if I remember it correctly because they had just had their biggest fight and then they made up. Eddie was treating her nice and it looked like they were back together in love for weeks. Then bam, it's over.

Several ECW guys were given names that were take-offs of NWA Promoters: Stevie Richards - Steve Rickard C.W. Anderson - Ole Anderson Those are the two that I can remember, but I think there were at least 4 total guys and one of them was Mikey Whipwreck, but I can't remember who his name was from.

Victoria, making her WWF debut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1C9d38LKEo Funny enough, later when they would revisit that angle for reasons I cannot remember, they replayed the GTV segment and blurred out Victoria's face,, presumably so as not to confuse anyone. I miss you, Chris Kreski.

Definitely the last show of September 2000 and the first one of October. AKA: "The one where Vince Russo wins the title" and "The one with the San Francisco 49ers match" Also, the New Blood Rising PPV is must-see as well.
