One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

If you wanna add wholly fictitional characters, there's a character on the workshop called 420 Bobbins that's a part of some E-Fed. Also "TCC-Chan" apparently.

I thought about 420 Bobbins and opted against him because I was able to fill the spaces out just fine. I'm not touching anything related to the chans (TCC-Chan is apparently 420chan's mascot) with a 50 foot pole.

I'm gonna move this line of conversation over to the games thread since I've gotten the info I need, but in case anyone's curious and doesn't wanna pop over there, here's the bracket for the tournament, seeded by the point value of the edits used.

If you need two more, there's Jim Duggan and Iron Sheik who got pulled over in similar fashion to RVD and Sabu.

Already got Sheik (the Konnan story about Sheik smoking a J on an airplane and convincing the stewardess it's just "Iranian tobacco" is amazing), TIL on Duggan though.

(Sheik's seeded against Session Moth Martina. :ohdear:)

Always wondered...if Tenryu didn't leave All Japan was Misawa going to unmask anyway or was Baba going to have him be Tiger Mask for a few more years.

He would've unmasked down the line either way. The whole 4 pillars thing would've started much later due to Tenryu being at the top for a while fighting the foreigners, but Jumbo's impending health issues and move to being a part-time nostalgia act would've been a factor either way to bring newer talent to the main event.

I remember hearing that "brother" Yasshi and Shuji Kondo were fired from Dragon Gate for weed usage, but I can't find anything to corroborate that with a quick google search.

This isn't true but "brother" YASSHI is absolutely a weedlord. Because it's Japan you can't come out and say you smoke weed but that doesn't stop him from wearing pot leaf shirts and calling his finisher the Nice Jamaican.

The real reason is unknown, the official statement was that the whole group acted unprofessionally outside of the ring. Some rumors went around that they had caused a commotion at an event with some sponsors/business partners present by completely no showing.

How many major televised entrance mishaps have there been since entrances became a thing?

Off the top of my head:
Undertaker going up in flames then storming to the ring.
Ultimo Dragon (and others) slipping on the ramp at his WrestleMania debut.
Someone, possibly Undertaker, tried to ride a motorcycle up the ramp but it wouldn't start; it's possible I'm thinking of the NWO/Bischoff thing where they gifted motorcycles to each other.

Shockmaster is an honorable mention but not an actual televised match entrance, same with Owen.

I remember Taker's bike stalling out once at the top of the ramp and him sitting there real awkwardly before giving up and walking down instead.

hey here's a lovely video of it

It was in some podcast I listened to a while ago so memory is sketchy but wasn't Triple H burned pretty bad during a fancy entrance? I dunno, there was dry ice or something like that and it got on his chest I think they said.

The main event of In Your House: International Incident had the spectator barrier collapse during HBK(?)'s entrance, causing a bunch of fans to fall on the ramp while he walked to the ring. It was pretty funny.

Rey Mysterio's catapult thingy didn't work at Mania 26, so he had to just climb up to the ramp.

Elimination Chamber 2010, pyro went off at the wrong time and Undertaker got burned. Instead of his usual slow lumber to the ring, he sprinted into his pod and a stagehand brought him water to pour on himself.

Is it the one where he shouts BABY BANGER a lot? Because I think that might be it, it was from a series of promos he cut leading up to a match he had with a TV interviewer named Corey Maclin against Lawler and Jimmy Hart. Unfortunately there's only a couple on youtube and neither are the one we're talking about (assuming I'm right).

That said, any excuse to watch Terry Funk promos is a good one.

alright, so I'm going to ask something that might feel like a "do my homework for me" question, but... this has been kind of a bastard to google and most of the results i'm getting are modern WWE.

who all, in the wrestling world, has been revealed to be a pothead? i'm putting together a pool of possible participants for a Fire Pro 4/20 tournament, and so far I've got:

Io Shirai
Session Moth Martina
RVD
Sabu
X-Pac
The Godfather
Rowdy Roddy Piper
Honky Tonk Man
Rick Rude
Matt Riddle
Iron Sheik
Konnan
MVP
Randy Orton
Brian Kendrick
Val Venis
Road Dogg
Darren Young
Jack Swagger
R-Truth
Evan Bourne
Heath Slater
Kevin Nash

is there anyone notable I'm missing from this list, particularly people from outside the US and/or women? i only know Io Shirai and Martina do it because of goon scuttlebutt, they didn't come up at all when i googled.

I know it's too late but how are you gonna include Io Shirai and not NOSAWA Rongai, her boyfriend at the time of the weed arrest and known buddy of ICP?

Also towards the end of her career, Kyoko Kimura was just straight up wearing marijuana-themed gear.

The story was for Steph to turn on Vince, so it made way more sense for him to be in the match from that POV
