Wrestling Bios just did a video on the Final Four match. Undertaker, Bret Hart, Steve Austin, and Vader in a four way brawl was super entertaining.

TTBF posted:If someone were to go to Tokyo for a week, what are some wrestling related spots/shops/etc to check out? There was a map compiled by some people online but they appear to be selling their knowledge as an ebook now. Maybe you can buy it if you feel like it https://thelionmarks.com/ However, back when I went to Tokyo for WK I pinned all the spots they mentioned on a Google map and dumped it all in the meetup thread, heh. Check this out The Lion Marks' Map of Wrestling Spots in Tokyo (this was a link, doesn’t work anymore) Back Drop (pro wrestling merch on the cheap) EBRIETAS (Yano's Bar) HAOMING Shop (clothes and masks and merch it looks like) Nippon Budokan (not sure why this was on the list but it's of course an important location for pro wrestling) MARUBUSHOUTEN (BUSHI's fried chicken shop) Piledriver (Suzuki's clothing shop) Ribera Steakhouse 1 and 2 Tokon Shop (NJPW Official Shop) Tonga Coffee (Bad Luck Fale's cafe) Toudoukan Wrestling Shop a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Apr 19, 2021 |

Gaz-L posted:Does Booker winning the title on the final Nitro count as WCW proper, or do we count it as WWE? I think it counts (even though WWF booked the show) but what's often forgotten is that he only became the 5 time 5 time 5 time 5 time 5 time WCW champion after he lost the title and won it back from that WCW mainstay Kurt Angle.

Eat My Fuc posted:What are the best Vader matches? I love Vader vs Sting but having trouble recalling my other favorites. He had a couple with Sting and they were all good. vs Sting at: Great American Bash 1992, Starrcade 1992 and SuperBrawl 3. vs Cactus Jack at Halloween Havoc 1993 vs Ric Flair at Starrcade 1993. This is a title (Vader) vs career (Flair) match and the entire build-up to it was literally just WCW as a company going "welp, Flair is going to die" and Flair saying goodbye to his family. He had some good matches during his 99/00 All Japan run as well, vs Kobashi and Misawa. Really, you can just go here https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=132&page=10&sortby=colMeltzer&sorttype=DESC and take your pick.

Flair was an amazing babyface for that match, but it's because Vader was portrayed as such a monstrous beast of a wrestler. edit: I also liked to think of it as Harley Race coming back to still mess up Flair through any means even though Race had retired.

I'd probably say the most likely would be Keith Lee, Aleister Black, or Bobby Roode. I don't think they're close to releasing any of them in reality, but looking at the list of former champions those seem like the three names that stick out to me who would be guys WWE either doesn't know how to use or will never push past a certain ceiling, so they figure they can cut them at any time.

I don't think they'd cut Finn, but I could certainly see him maybe wanting a run in AEW when his contract is up.

JOHN CENA posted:why did barry windham's career basically plummet following him winning the WCW Championship? Beyond the bad knees, weight gain and a lot of people have said they never really thought Windham was that dedicated to wrestling. He wasn't even a gym rat. CopywrightMMXI posted:Didn’t Windham have a rich mistress too so he didn’t have much financial worries or motivations? Or am I thinking of someone else? Windham's spouse was from a rural area with a huge amount of hunting and fishing territory. I don't know about money - rich in that area doesn't necessarily mean billionaire (or even millionaire) - but being able to hunt and fish in vast swamplands apparently appealed a lot to Windham.

Speaking of Samoa‘s, has anyone ever gotten a Girl Scout gimmick over? Someone did it as a white meat babyface thing in an RPG I played and it was pretty cool.

I think doing it full-on is both liable to get you sued by the actual organisation, and is dancing real close to the creeper side of the fanbase. Bayley (as a face) and Kylie Rae come reasonably close, in the same way a John Cena fits the Boy Scout mould, I guess.

Yeah, its like the problem people have with Alexa Bliss' current character. Its fine for Bayley or Kylie Rae because they're just grown ladies. But once you start gimmicking them up like children its real creepy.
