exploded mummy posted:Eh, it just says champion, not world heavyweight champion. (And at the time the belt was still that, WWE didn't rename it the WWF Championship until 1998) What other championship would it be? And they often didn't say "World Champion" back then.

It was Sherri who thought he was cute and knew he was sexy, Shawn Michaels is just taking credit for someone else's work as usual.

Davros1 posted:And they often didn't say "World Champion" back then. Seriously, this. It really wasn't until they had multiple top championships due to the WCW buyout that they started getting strict about the exact name of their top championship. The terms "WWF Championship", "World Championship", "WWF World Heavyweight Championship", and whatever other variations you can come up with were thrown around interchangeably for decades. There was no ambiguity as to which title "the WWF Champion" held.

When have they ever referred to a former champion as a current, and different champion? Here on the cover they call him "WWF Champion" (And they printed a "retraction" the following issue) Davros1 fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Feb 19, 2018 |

The Cameo posted:You don't necessarily have to if you're Korean or Chinese - as there will likely be kanji that matches up to your name (as after all, kanji is derived from hanzi - Han Chinese - as is hanja, a Korean term/take-off of it, so there's a "swappable" nature at hand). The guy who owns SoftBank, the richest guy in Japan, used this sort of linguistic loophole (which Japan only made legally acceptable in 1983) to basically retain his name in 1990 when he abandoned his Korean citizenship - having been the grandchild of immigrants to Japan who evidently never abandoned their natural citizenship. I looked it up and his birthname was Chadwick. I want Kenny to do this now because I'm sure he'd pick some stupid anime name.

Yeah I just watched the newest OSW Review episode this morning before work (for some reason) and it's obviously about Sunnys porno. I was mainly talking about how sad I found it but I'll leave it at this now. Y'all can watch the OSW Review video yourself if you care enough.

I want to turn the Montreal Screwjob into a lateral thinking puzzle for someone that isn't a wrestling fan. What I came up with off the top of my head:quote:Two professional athletes have a meeting with a third man. They discuss how to fix an upcoming event to the benefit of all three of them. One of them will win the event, while the other will win another event that occurs the next day. During the event, the second man wins instead of the first man, and the second event has to be cancelled. What happened? I think this is too broad of a question, especially for someone unfamiliar with what happened. Any suggestions to make it more accessible? I'm worried it might not be worth doing.

Terry Funk actually had matches after Bret Hart, both overall (2013 vs 2011) and in WCW(2000), but not in WWE (2006 vs 2011) oddly enough.

Adrian Adonis died only a year after wrestling Roddy Piper in his 1st "Retirement" match at WM3. Piper was back at WM5. Shiki Dan fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Feb 20, 2018 |

Inoki did some appearances after his big retirement tour. I wonder if any of the guys he wrested in that mid-to-late 90s period retired or died before 2003.

I was going to send it to the Futility Closet podcast; they do one every episode as read by one of the two presenters to the other. I would be able to explain any needed details and give a link to the wiki page if need be

Other than Steve Austin, has anyone come back to regular wrestling from a really rough injury like that? Give me hope for Shibata, basically.

Shibata will never wrestle again, even if he is able to pass every concussion test and do every physical task known to man. The better analog for Austin is Honma who looks to be determined to wrestle again soon.
