Captain Charisma posted:Green Lantern Fan is an enormous douchebag who tries his very, very hardest to make sure he's the most important man on a show, including the wrestlers. He has a posse of ogres and trolls that accompany him to a show, which means he buys a lot of tickets. You will usually see him scalping tickets right outside the venue and yelling TICKETS!! I GOT TICKETS HERE!!!!!!!! before every show. He also times every match. The funniest instance of this is when (iirc) Samoa Joe beat Xavier for the title. GLF stands up and cheers for half a second, and then immediately checks his stopwatch to see how long the match was. never. ever. google "we love ya ram" in quotes.

savinhill posted:Was Daffney ever in WWE after WCW was bought out? I think she could have done well in WWE back when they actually gave their Divas personalities as she managed to be entertaining in David Flair WCW segments and had the cute goth girl image. She was signed to a developmental deal in 2003 and worked as a manager down in OVW for a few months until she was released. In one of Dave Lagana's podcasts, he's talking with Dave Prazak and Allison Danger and they get into the attractiveness of female wrestlers and such. Lagana gives an anecdote about how Vince pretty much has this one, narrow view of what constitutes an attractive woman and that since he didn't understand the whole goth thing at all he had no idea what people saw in Daffney. Daffney actually retired for a few years right after she was released and if you believe any of the sleaze stuff, it was a combination of getting released by the WWE and CM Punk cheating on her (with Traci Brooks, I think is how the story goes) that lead to her retiring.

This is one thing that pisses me off hugely. OK, wrestling, like a lot of entertainment is a lot about image. Fine. But WWE has this tiny, miniscule vision of what a star or a 'hot chick' looks like, so you end up with 20 skinny, bleach-blonde, fake-tanned tall white girls with fake D-cups, and you can't tell them apart without nametags. Same thing with the guys, plus a great point that Meltzer went into recently. You hire a ton of 6 foot 8 bodybuilders, and the whole point is eventually lost, because they stop looking impressive when all your guys are that size. You need guys the size of a Chris Jericho and a Rey Mysterio, to make your Kanes and Big Shows look like giants and monsters. You need your Brodus Clays and Husky Harrises to make your Mizs and Morrisons look even more cut and pretty. It's about variety and contrast. If you're WWE Ice Cream and only sell mint chocolate chip, that's great if you like mint choc-chip ice cream, but you're losing business from the folk that like rocky road and strawberry and cookie dough and vanilla, and your product looks very one-dimensional. Edit: Snippit from the F4W/Observer podcast with Larry Mollin. Jillian Hall was given the mole gimmick to cover for her being 'ugly', apparently.

Nah not that guy, this guy is a Toronto only guy as far as I know. He usually has blue hair, he's like 40 or 50, his stupid neon rear end always tries to walk up from whatever seat he bought to stand at the corners of the front row and try to get on camera. He runs a lighting company I think, something like that, the name is always on his back in lights but I never bothered to remember it because 1. I will never need a lighting guy and 2. I wouldn't want some idiot with blue hair I saw at a wrestling show with a pruppet

One of the Formerly Creative podcasts talked about how some of the ECW fans became recognizable personalities and visible figures at all their shows(and also how some of ECW's hardcore fans have become important figures in the modern wrestling community). Paul Heyman was genius in the way he used this to get the ECW brand more over than any of the wrestlers as he was always losing his top stars to WWF and WCW. Heyman seemed to encourage these recognizable personality-fans as it would make it look like ECW was an organization worth following because if you saw these same fans every time you watched ECW then they had to be super devoted to the product. Between this and the chants, I know it made me more interested at the time.

It's the same problem as hardcore matches though - some fans look at stuff like the old ECW and decide that if they chant SUPER DRAGON for four minutes straight by themselves it'll make the crowd as great as the old ECW ones, just like yardtards see Mick Foley go through a table and can't understand why their FINAL GRUDGE MATCH WAR TO END ALL WARS (it's the second time they've had a "match") FLAMING WEEDWHACKER SUSPENDED OVER A POOL OF RUSTY USED NEEDLES-MANIA match-up isn't as well regarded.

Rarity posted:Nope, I'm mocking me. I never noticed that until you said it. The indie wrestling scene is more like the indie music scene then I could have ever dreamed, I should swap in my shaggy hair, heeled shoes, tight jeans, way ferers and various stripped shirts for some Nike's, tracksuit pants and an obscure wrestling shirt to be on the new wave of indie culture.  I retract my sympathy towards the Green Lantern Guy, to be honest I thought he may have just been a clueless fan with no self awareness. However, it sounds like this guy knows exactly what he's doing. One the subject of wrestling fans who are bizarre and have a lack of social awareness I've heard that there's a guy who walks around a shopping mall in one of the outer suburbs of Melbourne regularly carrying a championship belt replica.

What are some cool examples of wrestlers using other people's moves, like when the Miz did the people's elbow, or Rock using the Stunner on Austin? In WWF No Mercy on Nintendo 64 I can't even tell you how many times I've had Taka Michinoku use the pedigree on HHH.

Rock and Austin stole the Rock Bottom and Stunner in almost every big match they did, same with Angle and Austin. Jericho superkicked Michaels at WrestleMania 19. I'm sure there were lots of other examples. Morrison was using Sweet Chin Music as the Nitro Blast a few years ago. I think it was supposed to lead to a program with Michaels but PLANS CHANGED as they tend to do.

I think Peak Opponent Finisher was a triple threat Undisputed title match in 2002 where Angle/Rock/Undertaker kept hitting each other with their opponent's finishers. Eugene the retarded gimmick used to use the Stunner, Rock Bottom and his opponent's signature moves all the time. Road Dogg and Billy Gunn used the Pedigree and SCM in TNA during their stupid DX shoot feud. Hollywood Rock did a lot of his opponent's moves and taunts: it was awesome. e: John Cena actually started doing the FU during a feud with Brock, whose finisher was a similar (better) move called the F5, a name which was itself a reference to the Tornado DDT.

The last instance of finisher theft I can recall in the WWE was Triple H hitting Orton with a punt at WrestleMania 25. Other than that it's been used much more sparingly in recent years. That Angle/Rock/Taker triple threat from Vengeance 02 was loving ridiculous (in a good way) in terms of finisher theft. At one point in the match, Rock gets the Ankle Lock on Taker, only to get a Rock Bottom from Angle, who in turn gets an Angle Slam from Taker.

Managed to find a sports bar in NYC that will be showing Wrestlemania this Sunday while I'm visiting from the UK. Is there an etiquette for watching what is nothing more than homoerotic, masculine drama surrounded by socially awkward men dressing in nWo/DX shirts? Will the bar owners allow Rule Britannia to played over the PA system when I arrive? No, seriously, looking forward to it, although I can only imagine the awkwardness of it all.
