The best thing Ed Leslie ever did was get kicked out of that Canadian mayor's building for shilling sandwiches.

I'm guessing that mayor wasn't Rob Ford.

I was just reading through this old live report from ECW's Barely Legal in Philadelphia, and... http://www.pwinsider.com/article/67599/ecws-barely-legal-15-years-later-heres-the-original-report.html?p=1 quote:Before the show, WCW referee Nick Patrick pulled into the parking lot, with Harlem Heat. They were not allowed into the building from what I was told. That's random

im watching fall brawl 2000's main event and its booker t vs kevin nash and man, for all the poo poo that kevin nash gets for being lazy and not going hard in the ring, he's still better than like a solid chunk of the current roster dude's moves looked crisp as gently caress

Yeah, while he only had about 6 moves he sure did work fairly crisp for a big guy.

And Paul Wight could move in his younger days. Not like the immobile fatass he is now. He got invited to work out with some NFL team but didn't take them up on it.

Big Show's early WWF run had him doing splashes and shoulder tackles off the top rope. It was unreal. Too bad doing that was what hosed up his body.

oldpainless posted:Im surprised Big Show is as mobile as he is. A lot of it has to do with him getting involved with wrestling early in his life (I think he was 23 when he debuted in WCW?). He got put in touch with a lot of people who had dealt with other giant wrestler guys like Andre and so he started getting a lot of medical work and treatments done way earlier in his life than guys like Andre, Khali and Gonzalez.

Well except for the powerbomb. It was really funny watching matches with the Outsiders from 96 and 97 because Nash would be in the ring for at most 3 minutes of a 10+ minute tag (sometimes <2) and the matches were better for it. Hall was still motivated and in shape so he did the hard stuff, Nash came in near the end and did his stuff and the matches worked really well. Raw would be a better show if Kane and Kevin Nash's spots in wrestling were switched but wrestling is funnier to be a fan of because Kevin Nash was able to be Kevin Nash.

Mean Gene's 5'9, Jimmy Hart's 5'10, Show was 6'10 or so. That must be from when they were saying he was a 7'4 500 POUND GIANT

I always did like that whole angle that touched off Brutus becoming the Barber. Adrian Adonis beats up Piper, cuts off Bruti's hair, then they have the retirement match where Piper wins with Adrian's sleeperhold and Brutus cuts off his hair. So Piper forever steals Adrian's finisher and Brutus forever steals his gimmick. Legacy stuff is cool.

Why did the bell ring for 50 years during Randy Savage's heel turn? A) it was funny B) to make it feel like an emergency siren C) if he only rang it for 30 seconds he'd think Hogan put them up to it to screw him up when he was doing his flying elbow drop Also, the main event of Starrcade '96 was supposed to be Sting beating Savage. Why was this changed? A few months out, Turner said "we're paying Hogan a million zillion dollars, use him in the main event or else." Luigi Thirty fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Apr 20, 2015 |

Perdido posted:"Creative control clause" In that Monday Night War documentary mini-series on WWE Network, Hogan says he only exercised his creative control clause once and never actually abused it.  I think he said it was for the match against Jeff Jarrett for the title where Jarrett just laid down.

It's not even the creative control clause as Sullivan had to spend all his time trying to manipulate Hogan into doing what he wanted him to do.

Well maybe he didn't EXPLICITLY use his creative control... he would just say "brother I don't think that's going to work, let's try this instead" He was just making suggestions! You know, like how HBK would make suggestions to Vince all the time, anyone could have done it they just didn't have the heart and drive.

I'm really curious about the history of the WCW booking committee. It's something that doesn't get covered extensively in Death of WCW, probably because nobody really knows. Who was even on the booking committee, and when? I want to know what a booking meeting with Kevin Nash, Kevin Sullivan, and Terry Taylor was like.

The book? I thought it was pretty clear at stating when there was a booking change. Or as clear as anything in that awfully written book was.

Even Disco was on it at one point. I don't think you're ever going to get a timeline of who was on it and when. It didn't matter because it was total chaos and whatever Bischoff or Russo depending on the year said went anyway.

I think the documentary mentioned how they would get a new head of creative every month it seemed like. I think it was Sullivan that said he took over after Russo left for about a month or so and then it went to somebody else because the execs were expecting immediate results or something. But it also seemed like everybody that was around during the last year of WCW barely knew what was really going on because everybody did their own thing and you never knew who was in charge of what or who was still employed a lot of the time.

My favorite thing about WCW is that after it died they made Nitro a Raw main event featuring Booker T defending against Buff loving Bagwell and then everyone was confused and hated it, just like a real Nitro

This was a very educational episode of Nitro. For example, we learned that Tony Schiavone coined the phrase Suplex City when Rocco Rock suplexed Jimmy Hart over the top rope.
