Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

Rodney the Piper posted:

This cracked me up.

As did Dave's attempt to mention the events in Boston. "That was a shame... and I watched the Hall of Fame last night." The Davest Dave to have ever Daved.

This had me laughing as well just at the shear awkwardness. Poor Dave wanted to say something but just didn't know how. He said something like "It's a shame and I didn't really want to watch wrestling.....I watched the full Hall of Fame last night and it was really good!".

I also enjoyed him burying the Andy Griffith show.

Dave obviously had the best in mind, but just because of who he was, he did a poor (but well-intentioned!) attempt to communicate that.

Topics:
1. WRESTLER OF THE WEEK: Larry Sweeney
2. How great is Brock Lesnar? Very. How dumb is a steel cage match for his feud with Triple H? Very.
3. Why does WWE seemingly hate Antonio Cesaro? He's awesome. They're dumb.
4. Was "Fandangoing" really a thing?
5. Which of these four wrestlers (Triple H, Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, Randy Savage) will get into the WWE Hall of Fame first? Of the three currently living, which will retire first?
6. FEUD OF THE WEEK: Steve Blackman vs. Shane McMahon
7. Is John Cena WWE's top heel?
8. Having unlimited funds and complete creative control, how would you save/rebuild the WWE women's division?
9. What wrestler/wrestling figure do you most associate with their current company, to the point where you can't see them working anywhere else?
10. Pandering! The Ten Count is now available on iTunes, and we have a blog, a Twitter account, and an email address! (I promise this is the only time I'll do this.)

Question for the Ten Count: It's May 28th, 1997. Owen Hart picks up Steve Austin for the piledriver. He does it the correct way this time, and Austin sustains no injury.

At the time, Austin was 33 years old, and had at least 10 good years left in him. Imagine he never got that injury - how different is the main event scene over the past decade? He's around the same age as Undertaker; would we be getting a marquee Austin match every year to this day? Would we have had an Austin/Cena feud in the mid-late 2000s where the torch was passed? Would Cena even have gotten a look in with the Austin merch-machine being what it was?

The icy-hot on his knees doesn't burn get hot enough to melt the supports. It was an inside job.

Ten Count Crew: Terry Funk is going to wrestle one more match before he retires (for real this time). Who do you want to see him wrestle? Please don't say Mick Foley because nobody with a soul wants to see him wrestle again.

I wouldn't want to see this, just because it's a certainty that that match is ending in a fatality. They will genuinely just punch each other to death.

My answer is Jun Kasai, however

You remember Funk's barbed wire match with Sabu? The one they had to stop to cut both guys out of the wire?

That's going to look like a technical masterpiece compared to Funk/Kasai. They're going to need to stop that match for blood transfusions.

After seeing Funk at the Hall of Fame, I really didn't want to see him wrestle again.

Ten Count question: Who, as a child or when you were first getting into wrestling, did you absolutely love and thought was the coolest thing ever, but now that you're older and look back, you're like "why the gently caress did I ever like him?"

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
TEN COUNT HERE IS A QUESTION: Who, in your opinion, are the most overpushed and underpushed wrestlers of all time, taking all factors into account, not just actual ability. ie Cena is a pretty bad promo and fairly inconsistent worker, but he draws tons of money, so I don't think you can really say he doesn't deserve his push to at least some extent.

Sure! I'm pretty sure I've got all of them on my computer (either ones that I recorded or grabbing ones that got uploaded by others), but there are a fair number so I don't want to release them all at once. I'll try to remember to put one up every...oh, let's say Thursday.

To everyone asking questions: Holy poo poo, thank you. These are all really really good, and if we don't get to them on the next Ten Count they'll definitely come up at some point. Keep 'em coming.

Meltzer seemed to think he didn't care, and was way, way too banged up to be any good at that point anyway. I seem to remember when he was getting burried by Triple H he was already having problems moving and that was a couple of years before so :iiam:
