Paulocaust posted:Also, question: I made up a wrestling finisher I used to use on my friends that I always thought was super awesome and had never seen until I saw this Hustle highlight video from '04. Basically, you set someone up for an F-5, but instead of spinning them forward and slamming them facedown beside you, you spin them backward, catch their head and finish it with an RKO/Diamond Cutter. Is this actually a move, or did Dan Bobish just make it up on the spot? Considering he's an MMA fighter, I would assume the latter. This is called the TKO and it actually predates the F5 by few years, ironically first used by Lesnar's wife's ex-husband Marc Mero in the late-90s.

Paulocaust posted:In grade 6 or 7, our gym was set up with this giant platform that looked like a big wooden lifeguard's chair. It was probably about 10 feet high and underneath it was one of those giant, soft gym mats you can land on, like those high jump ones. Was it a Volleyball judge's chair? We had a portable one in our gym about that high.

No, it was some piece of equipment that was meant to be jumped off of, I just have no idea why or what it actually was. e: I don't watch WWE, but looks like Alex Riley is actually using said move as his finisher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Eevh28rc2k

Halloween Jack posted:You do realize Angle's ankle lock is a toehold, right? I know. I was talking about Gotch's, which was strictly a small-joint lock instead of Kurt's. A few puro guys break out the small-joint lock on occasion, but I'd love to see it as a finisher since it's legitimately excruciating. (And I broke both big toes when I was learning it when I started out in catch-as-catch-can. Small-joint holds are the loving worst.)

I met Jerry Lynn tonight. Dunno how it's about asking questions but if you ask me if Jerry is awesome, I'm sure I could find ways to explain why he's awesome.

Given that they're using WWE-owned names and likenesses without permission, they almost certainly ARE illegal! And unless they're cutting the wrestlers a percentage under the table, which I doubt, it's difficult for me to support buying them anyway.

One interesting fact about Jerry Lynn is that he's one of a select few people to have worked a match in all five of the most significant modern US promotions (WWF/E, WCW, ECW, TNA, ROH). http://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=882&page=20 I think we figured out last year that the only others are Raven, Terry Funk, Konnan, and possibly ICP as odd as that sounds.

considering the sheer volume of promotions that have existed from big national ones down to rinky-dink operations that perform in front of 15 people in a lodge, it's probably impossible to figure out who's worked for the most.

Hmm, that's true. What makes a promotion legitimate? Is it the talent? The size of the audience? Show quality?
