There is no UK scene anymore, plague and noncing killed it dead.

With that said I have to imagine it was one of his favourite scenes because they were all diddling kids, just like his favourite 80s guys were.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

In Street Fighter II Ryu has six moves

Punch
Kick
Hadoken
Tatsumaki
Shoryuken
Throw

Ryu is a martial arts master. Six moves is all it takes.


E: Now I get it, Kevin Nash is one of those drat video game wrestlers.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
why is Curt Hennig in Owen's gear

also it should be noted that Cornette is completely right regarding this subject and shits on the WWE cultists who are mad about it so let that be a sobering reminder of how out of touch and delusional those people are in comparison

In fairness his take on this is pretty much the correct one. If anything it may be too generous to AEW because they are 100% trying to make money off Owen to some degree (I'll happily be proven wrong but I doubt 100% of the profits are going to the charity) but he rightfully tells the critics to gently caress off about WWE and the HOF

I was bored at work so I decided to bite the bullet and listen to their take on Owen.

Last and Cornette were both overwhelmingly positive about all of it. Cornette went as far as to say that it's not just young guys wanting to go to AEW but also legends because they can get paid and maybe do some commentary instead of getting insulted and treated like poo poo.

They called out the people complaining about WWE not getting to do the tribute and said it definitely wasn't their audience because they're reasonable. (Lol)

I'm going to laugh if he loses listeners for this.

I caught him saying (re: Owen Cup), that'll be good as long as they don't have like Orange Cassidy win it, and all I could think was Owen would've LOVED working with OC. I bet he would've gotten such a big kick out of doing goofy stuff with him.

There is something for a booking brained person to go "booking the comedy spot for their memorial tournament feels disrespectful even if on-brand for the honored talent" but like also cornette is an idiot.

Yeah, I think OC and Owen would've been fantastic together.

Mick Foley in Have a Nice Day posted:

There was nothing like a bad Owen Hart match...In addition to an offense consisting of multiple rakes of the body, kicks in the rear end, horrible-looking karate chops that were always preceded by a loud “hi-yah,” and cocoa butts (the big, fakelooking version of the popular head butt) so fake that they made Lou Albano look like Carl Gotch, and he was equally terrible on the defensive.

Foley has like another 2 paragraphs describing Owen goofing off in matches. Agreed that he probably would have loved OC.

My favorite Owen match story from Foley's book is him no selling the Sharpshooter by smoking an imaginary cigarette and pretending to check his watch.

Man, now I'm imagining Owen countering OC's sunglasses with a pair of Bret's.

That's what I thought too, but apparently Lambert did the same shtick in Impact so who knows?
