) but I want to get into the indies a bit. It looks like PWG has a lot of great wrestlers from different promotions so I want to try to get into/follow that. Any advice on what to start with?

I'd be more concerned about him making fun of them on TV for it. "Aw poor Benoit is depressed because his friends died, what a big baby!" Every major league sports team has a staff neuropsychologist, at least, and I think taking a hard look at wrestlers after their concussions instead of just giving them meds and time off (if that) would be a good way of preventing unfortunate career and life consequences. If it was mandatory no one could be ashamed! Then again, this kind of program would be based on the assumption that WWE is a semi-moral business, which is clearly quite flawed.

This is another area where treating the wrestlers as employees with benefits would be a great help, I imagine. But the short term expense and lack of obvious commercial benefit means it'll probably never happen unless promoters are forced to.

CM Funk posted:"London & Kendrick". Nothing iconic or memorable. Probably anticipating their inevitable return to singles wrestling despite (I think) having the longest tag title reign in the company's history. related question to this: do London and Kendrick still tag ever? I know Kendrick is doing whatever the gently caress he's doing in TNA and London isn't ever going to set foot there, but do they still do stuff elsewhere?

I believe they teamed up in PWG shortly after Kendrick left WWE, but I don't know if they have since then. They'll probably team again at some point, but London is busy with Peligro Abejas last I checked.

I didn't even read the thread.I just got excited because my entire reason for buying the archives add on was so I could read old PPV threads before/after watching them to get a better idea of context. Much to my disappointment when the archives showed me the forum has only been around since 2006 or 2007, then I saw this thread and thought it may have been moved over from an older forum which used to incorporate wrestling.

What was Oliver Humperdink's gimmick when he managed Bam Bam Bigelow in the WWF? I think I remember seeing him on the first Survivor Series, and it really seemed to just basically be "I wear gaudy clothing but here I am with a pretty awesome fatty who does cartwheels!"

It's also very interesting to read old threads like Edge cashing in MITB the very first time, the Eddie Guerrero tribute on RAW, Cena returning to RR, etc. just to see everyone mark out. Archives is definitely worth the money.

After one of his successful title defenses (or maybe when he won it) he declared he was going to go home and drink a different brand of beer to the one promoting the show and then "get on top of my wife and go a few rounds with her!" Stay classy, Brock.
