Watching Bash at the Beach 1996, it is hilarious that Tenta vs Big Bubba gets a way better audience reaction than Rey vs Psicosis having an amazing match

Ernest "the cat" Miller was cool. This is a true opinion. I loved the thing he would do where he would turn around and give his opponent 5 seconds to leave, and then when he turned around he would get clobbered. He was also funny as the WCW commissioner. To reiterate: Ernest Miller is cool.

Thats the thing with miller like he wasn't the greatest in the ring but he was a memorable figure who did some fun stuff and basically had a lot of fun and wasn't super serious despite being a legit karate badass

As far as I know, Miller competed entirely in tournament karate. Semi-contact, foam-rubber safety gear, no contact to the face, and points awarded for kicks and punches that touch the front of sides of the torso and the back or sides of the head, whereupon the referee calls a break and awards a point. He's a legitimate athlete, but hardly a fighter. B-movie actors like Don Wilson and JCVD actually had full-contact experience.

He, somehow, out of all the wrestlers in the world, was the Big Bad Heel wrestler in The Wrestler. Also Necro Butcher but at least his was a hardcore match so it kind of fit.

I've said this once or twice before but I think Ernest's heel persona could have made him a big territorial star back in the 70's and 80's. So it's not that weird, especially because Randy's character was supposed to have been a big star in the 80's, and they're rivals.

He once talked poo poo to Don Frye about how he'd be able to whoop rear end in UFC until Frye challenged him to a fight and Miller backed down because he was an arrogant coward (and lovely wrestler.)

I think Don Frye's telling of this involved Miller talking about how there was nobody in MMA who did karate, so nobody in MMA would have any idea how to handle a karateka "lol" sums my response and probably Frye's.

Ernest Miller had that time where he beat up the assorted Armstrong jobbers, then got a mic and went "Somebody call my mama, I just whupped the whole Armstrong family. Where's Bullet Bob?"

Well, he punched Buff Bagwell's lights out backstage. Then again, so did The Hurricane. And Steiner. And probably Judy Bagwell.

I wish Buff Bagwell had gone into MMA in the early 2000s after WCW folded (he has some MMA training, not sure how much), mostly because he'd probably be terrible at it professionally and would have ended up fighting Dan Quinn or something in 4th-rate NorCal promotions.

Luigi Thirty posted:Never have I wanted to see anything more than Buff Bagwell vs Dan Quinn Wasn't there a game that was basically TEW but with MMA? I'm sure someone could mod the database to include what-ifs for a bunch of pro-wrestlers going into MMA. Hell, that'd probably make a pretty good LP. edit: actually, you'd probably have to mod the database to include Dan Quinn, too, but that's a small price to pay to get to experience Bagwell vs Quinn, the defining rivalry of the D-list fight world. zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Apr 7, 2015 |

Yeah they've only uploaded 100 hours of Nitro. It's not the awful period yet but tonight at 8 we'll be watching a June 98 Nitro. We're about a month away from nWo Nightcap one of the worst things in Nitro history.

You say this but spots 1-20 on my "Worst things I've seen on Tuesday Nitro so far" list belong to that loving Piper's Family promo, and I find it hard to believe anything will join the top 20 for a long, long time.
