Daniel Bryan posted:Well, he then went backstage and screamed at HHH. People thought at the time it was going to be an angle, but it turned out to be nothing. Which is great luck. But anyone saying it was ODD to stop that match (as I was responding to) is blatantly wrong. Bryan looked really messed up and not in the great-at-selling way. It was good that he wasn't, and better that he yelled at HHH about it, yet it was a fine call to legitimately end the match if you were watching it live. You could almost see cartoon stars circling his head.

Ghostpilot posted:Yeah, at least that's what T3d had said in interviews (I seem to recall the one from the Art of Wrestling podcast). Records of it were kept and all, with instructions that if he'd abused it he'd lose it. They even went further: he always flew first class, rode in limos, etc. It really help foster envy and heat within the locker room and his extravagant displays of wealth (buying everybody's meal at restaurant, etc) really helped get him over via word of mouth and in newspapers - basically social media before what we'd know it to be today. When I was 6 my parents took me to a show at Boston Garden a few months after WM V. As a kid I had a huge anxiety problem so I had a huge aversion to loud noise. So when Hogan's music hit for the main even and the place went loving banana I lost my poo poo and my parents had to take my out of the crowd to console me. We end up in some hallway in the depths of the Garden while I'm still bawling and the loving Million Dollar Man comes out of a nearby bathroom, still in his tights. My dad sees him and apparently gets a "Holy gently caress" look on his face. DiBiase points at me and mouths "Is he ok?" to my father, who nods. Ted gives him a thumbs up and slips back into the bathroom so I don't see him once I calm down. So basically he broke kayfabe in the height of it to check on a panicked little boy and was willing to hide in the bathroom for God knows how long so I didn't see him and get upset at the bad guy being near him. Dad told me this years later and I was pissed because I was a little smark gently caress and LOVED the Million Dollar Man as a kid. He was the only heel I liked. As an aside I calmed down and we watched the poo poo Hogan/Savage shmaz finish and my mom went to the bathroom back where we were before since she knew where it wa.s She walks out rushing to get back and walks face first into Jake the Snake's chest. So my parents got all the luck and I got poo poo cause I was a whiny bitchy baby.

I finished watching The Great American Bash 07 earlier today and Cena vs Lashley was really good. Seems like the guy was on fire in 07.

Huh, apparently the Million Dollar Man was a Vince project all the way. Pat Patterson told him that the whole gimmick is what Vince came up for himself for if he was a wrestler instead of the owner of the company. Makes sense that he'd literally throw money at Ted if that's the case. It also makes total sense that way now that you look at it.

With all the Million Dollar Man love, I should mention that his WWE Autobiography has tons of stories about the character, Ted trying to keep kayfabe, and is barely mentions any of the religious themes I expected to dominate it. It's one of the better wrestler biographies.

Maxwell Lord posted:I watched the '93 Royal Rumble not too long ago and he really was good at his peak- the alcoholism derailed a very promising career. Cornette said of Scott Hall that "he's a good wrestler but good's about it" which I always thought was a perfect way of summing it up. In the same interview he also recounts the Seven Moves Of Kevin Nash (which he had to research in order to teach 'em to Kane in 1996), which includes "flicking the hair". Six wrestling moves and a gesture. I love Jim Cornette.

Six wrestling moves and a gesture. I loved him until I heard about all the poo poo he pulled in RoH. That was just loving stupid. He just wants to shove his vision of wrestling down everyone's throats, same as Vince & everything seems to be personal with Jim. Colt Cabana said he once asked him how a match he had could've been better & Jim's response was "if you weren't in it." This was one of the most over people in the company at the time & he just didn't want to use him. Same with Steen. He let's his emotions take precedence over his job & it makes him look like a pathetic manbaby. Regrettable fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Apr 23, 2014 |

Scott Hall's WWF run from 1992-1996 was pretty bizarre as they pushed him hard right off the bat as a main event heel but he didn't really catch on, and he was never high enough on the card as a face to get to the main event. I think if he stuck around in 1996, and cleaned himself up, he would've established himself as a main event heel against HBK.

I don't think I've ever seen DB look that angry as when that match was ended. You could tell that wasn't acting. And you could see him getting angrier, especially as he walked up the entrance ramp.

Well, to him, it was the biggest match of his career up to that point because he was going to go over Orton strong. Plus he takes pride in his matches, so he had that taken away from him without his consent. That is something anyone should be upset about, and he went to the person that stopped it and told them in as many curse words that he didn't like it. After awhile, he understood why it was stopped but the fact that he cared so much is rare these days, and going and screaming at Quad Explosion Man who is now the boss probably earned him a ton of respect. Also, Orton showed tremendous professionalism there by constantly asking the ref if he should continue and being extra safe from then on in.

That Bryan tirade on HHH was apparently filmed, because there just happened to be a camera in gorilla at the time. I was kind of hoping that would surface in some form during the Bryan/HHH feud.

Six wrestling moves and a gesture. There is an equally great video out there where a bemused Nash watches that. Cornette: "The back elbow, the side knees, the flipper punch, the loving hair..." Nash: "Side slam." Cornette: "Side slam, uh...." Nash: "Squisher." Cornette: "The loving powerbomb, that's it." Nash: (indignant) "Squisher? Snake Eyes?!"

I never could hate Nash because he owns what an rear end in a top hat he is. He doesn't bullshit about it, of course he wants the most money for the least work, who doesn't. Of course he wants to always look good, who doesn't. Of course he sucks at wrestling, because he never needed to be good at it to get rich. He's got a very healthy mental attitude and he can be very funny.

I saw what felt like 10,000 Kevin Nash matches when I was a kid and the only move I can ever remember him doing are those weak rear end knee lifts to a guy in the corner. I'm probably thinking of the "side knees".

Kevin Nash rules. He and Scott Hall always talk about all the bullshit they pulled because, "they could get away with it". They told a story about how they would want to go drink beers backstage at WCW and they'd invite Hogan along because they knew if someone showed up they could just point to Hogan and no one could say poo poo. Also, my first email address was big_sexygkiller@hotmail.com I've been a Keving Nash mark my whole life, sorry (I'm not sorry).
