extradite THIS! posted:Both of them are actually exactly where they need and deserve to be, ie. mostly off TV Yeah, but they already have a bunch of guys doing exactly that. Why bother bringing back Curt Hawkins and paying him to sit in catering next to Jack Swagger and the Vaudevillains? That's the reason I called it pointless.

Halloween Jack posted:What wrestler most perfectly fits the "look" that Vince supposedly wants? The natural answer would be Warrior (or Gary Strydom) but I think McMahon would prefer a Jim Hellwig that he could bill at 6'6" give or take a couple inches. Lex Luger, I guess? This reminded me of "Stuttering" Matt Morgan. I actually really liked his run in TNA as the blue print. I'm somewhat surprised he never returned to the wwe as, to me, he fit vinces mold perfectly. I guess the other person would be the juiced up Chris Masters.

What are the chances someone remembers which show had a talking head clip of Fandango thanking Sunny (maybe Sable) for his teenage years? Might have been one of those 'top 100 moments' shows, but I'm looking for that clip particularly.

There's only a handful of episodes it could be on on either though.

Watching some old All Japan stuff and who is the masked wrestler ringside during the Dec., 5, 1974 matches of Ken Mantell vs Jumbo Tsuruta and Giant Baba vs Jack Brisco? edit: I'm beginning to think it was The Destroyer. MrBling fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Dec 26, 2016 |

i was thinking about WCW and Monday Night Nitro after listening to Lapsed Fans Starcade 95 review and i remember reading or hearing from somewhere that the reason Bischoff chose the Nitro name was. that if you say it fast enough it sounds like Monday Night Raw.. is that total bs?

Bischoff was planning on building a huge angle around Nitro, but he couldn't get out of his contract with American Gladiators. By the time the deal fell through, they'd already paid for the production aspects.

I was just watching a match with the Hardys in it earlier and it got me thinking: what are the moves that look way worse when you try to make them fancy (ala the Twist of Fate looks way worse than just a normal stunner IMHO)? My vote would probably be most of the oddball DDT variations (with exceptions for the good ones like the impaler) or the End of Days or maybe Dark Matter, but I might be biased because I hate STOs in general unless they're done really well.

The Twist of Fate is an RKO/Ace Cutter/Diamond Cutter. Not sure why it is constantly misidentified as a stunner, which is totally different you guys
