He always seemed like one of those Mick Foley in-the-blood kind of guys who'd WANT to be remembered as Edge and if not because it was painful to think he couldn't do it anymore. It's almost shocking to think that even from the start he saw the Sad Stories and the guys who couldn't ever let go and resolved to never go that far even as he was continuing to climb toward the top of the industry and fighting tooth and nail to be a World Champ and one of WWE's top guys. Mr. Copeland is an interesting guy.

I think that's what's kept me interested in wrestling even through the lean years: the business is full of interesting people.

It's not a huge leap to think that he wanted to be at the top of his profession, but not be broke and rickety and probably dead by the time he hit 50 like so many others in that profession.

Regis is a big wrestling fan, apparently, so that probably had something to do with all the wrestler guests. He also helped out at Wrestlemania VII doing interviews and iirc was on guest commentary for the Hogan match.

I love how he tears apart the set so carefully after Regis wants him to get all crazy, then ever so gently sits down, shakes their hand and acts like everything is normal.  E: Also caught during Raw that WWE had done a memorial documentary after Warrior passed away, it's up on Youtube for anyone that wants to take a peek (about an hour long): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2-LfEATtBg It's actually really well done, getting to hear people from both sides talk about the past and present and remember the Warrior for the crazy, outlandish, energetic character he was  Rest in peace, you gave us some great memories big guy

Crossposting from the Chikara thread. In the weeks leading up to company's return, they're having random Chikara guys mention their favorite matches from the company's history, which are then uploaded onto YouTube in full. Today it was Scott Parker, Shane Matthews, Ebessan and Takoyakida vs Colt Cabana, Swamp Monster, Darkness Crabtree and Yohnel Sanders from 2012. One of the funniest wrestling matches I've ever seen. "There was a gentleman dressed up as Colonel Sanders. And when I asked everyone WHY he dresses like Colonel Sanders, nobody could give me an answer, he just does. Why was everyone singing the Canadian National Anthem before the match? Who knows? Why was Duck, Duck, Goose being played? Who knows?" Another one of the picks was Fire Ant vs. Vin Gerard from 2008, which is also one of my favorite match endings.

That couldn't of been Allen. Wait, I mainly watched WCW as a kid in the late 80's early 90's. So I forgot that the WWF called him Bad News Brown. That's funny.

Speaking of... It's the Battle of the Bad News! As Bad News Brown takes on Wade "Bad News" Barrett! Similarly, WWE did a Sting vs. Undertaker hype package.

Awful, yes, but still not as bad as Steve Wiener and his loving chicken. I know Quack has a thing for special needs wrestling fans, but god, that guy is annoying.

He was so quick with the improv and ad libbing too, I miss that kind of stuff with current wrestling. I wanna see WWE go back to letting guys improvise their own stuff again, especially doing the pre-tape interviews.

The Destroyer was amazing. First up, The Destroyer and Gino Brito set up a Figure 4 Challenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ooa9pUMnDzs and the classic, The Destroyer wrestles a bear and does commentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTMcg6535xE If you haven't seen the Destroyer vs the Bear you need to see it, and the Brito angle is really fun too. Destroyer mixes comedy and being a huge dick better than almost anyone I've ever seen.

Ya know, up until now, I've never actually *watched* a Wrestling Bear match. So I always just assumed that the reason it was always done back in the day is because it was a novel gimmick. Now i know that it was simply because a bear sort of looks like he's wrestling when he paws at you. That's it. Thats The Joke. I mean, I've seen better matches put on by A Ladder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAn4xWV5jJE A Blow Up Doll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTzQLkfhAXw and TNA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEusikoxq5Q

There's some fun wrestling bear matches and lots of really bad ones. Not that much happens in the fun ones, the bear sometimes starts attacking the ref and then his opponent counts 3.

Daniel Bryan posted:Fun match I had never seen before: Bryan Danielson & Claudio Castagnoli vs Mike Quackenbush & Jigsaw Yeah, have very fond memories of that. Lots of Claudio and Bryan trying to kill Jigsaw, which alone would be enough to make this match a good watch, but the non-Jigsaw-killing parts are very good as well.

My favorite spot in that tag match is when Bryan applies a submission that Jigsaw tries to weakly forearm his way out of, and Dragon gets so mad at the lack of power behind the forearm that he just lights Jigsaw the gently caress up with mounted forearms, while Quack is on the apron pretty much literally doing  , like "Dammit, I taught him better than that". Meanwhile the crowd's losing their poo poo at Jigsaw getting beat like Danielson caught him breaking into his house.

He's John Cena except worse in every way that matters and he's not even a decent person outside of the ring to make up for it. He was pretty cool to me when I met him at Comic Con one time.
