The best thing Nate Jones ever did in WWE was when they showed a video of Undertaker "training" him before a show, where he was running drills with a couple of jobbers while Taker yelled instructions from the corner. One of the jobbers accidentally hits Jones, who basically loses his mind and just starts murdering them while Undertaker is screaming,"NATE! NATE! STOP NATE! NOOOOO! NATE NOOOOOOOO  " from the corner.It was loving beautiful.

So did Nathan Jones actually lactate thanks to all of the steroids? I now had massive mantits thanks to them but everyone jokes about him lactating and I have no idea if it even happened.

Edge & Christian posted:Yeah, the Abyss thing was 2005-6 I think, and if you look at what Undertaker was doing at Wrestlemania/in general at that point, they were definitely looking to go more "Monster of the Week" than what the streak turned into. The Great Khali feud was probably one of the better uses of Great Khali but yes. Man, Nathan Jones, there's a name I haven't thought of in a while.

actually laughed out loud when i clicked the tweet and saw there was another rule bullet point in the image cut off by the tweet embed You know it's an A+ match type when it takes longer to read or hear the description of it than to watch the match of it

It's like they took BattleBowl and decided the whole event should be one match instead of nine.

Watching Impact - really wish that Tessa / Fabi match was longer, was still fun tho. Taya vs Tessa at BFG seems like a cool match up too. I fuckin' LOVE Eddie's current persona, holy poo poo, Alisha was good as a voice of reason. Johnny still stiff as a board on the mic. Cage is amazing.

Mel Mudkiper posted:*pulls out some oven mitts* Sting quickly fell off the ballot when he was on pre TNA. Being a highly paid main eventer who never lost for years and years made people think of him more as a legend instead of a guy who flopped time after time in WCW and had one short hot run. TNA bent over backwards to present him as a legend and it helped. The Mania match put him over the hump but he wouldn't have even been on the ballot at that point. Just look at Luger who had nearly identical career except was a slightly better draw. Fell off the ballot and never came close. The difference was Sting had that TNA run.

I still don't understand why people would ever argue about the observer hall of fame It's somehow more pointless than arguing about the WWE hall of fame - neither of which actually exist but at least one gives out fancy rings and has a ceremony

It's a very well thought out hall of fame and the wrestlers kind of care about it too.

Serious question - Dave is nearing 60 now and if the observer is important to the wrestling community has it ever been discussed or addressed about it continuing in the event he wasn't around anymore

Mr. Carlisle posted:I take it personally when people diminish the legacy of my childhood hero surfer sting I don't think it's diminishing his legacy to say his time in TNA was better than in WCW, which was better than in WWE He did dumb poo poo in all three companies but was only allowed to be a star in, and carry, one company. Hogan wasn't allowing it for long in WCW, Vince/HHH were too petty to allow it even briefly in WWE TNA did far too many dumb things to ever try to count (rip LOLTNA wiki), but I'll never understand criticizing them for overall treatment of Sting or Christian
