This reminds me of how The Rock was the first person to tweet about Bin Laden's death, like hours before anyone else. I assume he never discussed this because it would mean ratting out his high-level sources (Obama).

WeaponX posted:Mr. Anderson is pretty universally hated around here now but what was the opinion of Mr. Kennedy during his WWE push pre and post injuring people consistently. Mr. Anderson was really good in his first six months in TNA after about a month. Peaking when the rear end in a top hat gimmick got hot....but then it got hot and it got bad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJXI5r_rAtg I remember parts of this speech with music mixed in from a couple of years ago but can't find it for the life of me, just wondering if anyone else out there could hit me up with a link. "Wake up sleeping beauties!" "As you sit on the edge of your bed... slumped, chest caved in[]!" "Have the courage to say I disagree!" Stick out as the memorable quotes.

Why are the NWA titles still valued in Japan?

Luigi Thirty posted:Why are the NWA titles still valued in Japan? Lou Thesz was incredibly important in the development of pro wrestling in Japan and the NWA champion would be used in Japan throughout the hot years of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. I guess it'd be kind of like if the WWE went bankrupt and the WWE title was purchased by New Japan. It'd probably mean a little something if the Winged Eagle belt were defended in some show in the US 30 years from now. Cardboard Box posted:they're not really aware of how much they've been devalued elsewhere. They have as good of an idea as anyone, it's been defended by nobodies in Japanese indies in recent years.

I assume he never discussed this because it would mean ratting out his high-level sources (Obama). I remember this. What happened that day was the White House said that in the coming hours Obama was to make an announcement and all the media could say was it was MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR from their sources. There were rumors as to what it could have been but the biggest one, and the only one that could warrant that kind of attention was Osama bin Laden was killed. I think The Rock was smart enough, and bold enough, to think "no way its anything else" and tweeted the announcement. I don't think he's in tight with Obama or anything, just that shortly before Obama's announcement everyone online was talking about Osama being dead like it was already confirmed. He was just the first celebrity to tweet it. Edit: Well, that's what I get for recalling everything from memory instead of actually looking up the fact The Rock said something before the media started reporting it.

Blonde Australian women love to dance or may be Nazis. Italians are also goofy. Fijians love to jump and all live in the forest. All Arabs are Muslim (And consequently may be terrorists even if they say they aren't), and all Iranians are Arabic. Bulgarians are actually Russian. Indians also love to dance, whether in a band or out of one. Tazmanians are maniacs? The Swiss sure do like to yodel.

Africa is a savage land full of spear-chucking tribesmen and big game hunters (except South Africa, which has mercenaries). Kofi's seriously lucky they tried to make him Jamaican at first. Have they ever done an Egyptian pharaoh gimmick? I'd be surprised if nobody ever did.

Tying into that, who's had the longest and / or most lucrative career purely as a jobber? I always found it interesting that there were people who had wrestling careers knowing that they'd never get over and would be nothing more than the doormat for whomever came along at the moment.

I think he was a Tag Champ and a Cruiser Champ but never did anything all that significant for more than a month or so at a time that I can remember. He mainly got his rear end kicked to prove how much heart he had and how vile the bad guys were.
