Time_pants posted:And then there's the Ironman Heavymetalweight championship: a belt that must be defended 24/7 and spans multiple promotions all over the globe. The belt changes hands constantly (from the wiki: "As of February 4, 2022, there have been 1,528 officially recognized reigns between 390 different human individuals, 6 teams and 42 inanimate objects and animals. The record for most reigns is held by Shinobu, who won it 216 times, including by trading the title back-and-forth with 215-time champion Yuko Miyamoto a total of 303 times on the same night."). hahahahahah oh my god i love this so much

Time_pants posted:It has been won by a ladder, by a team of three elementary school girls, Vince McMahon's Hollywood Walk of Fame star, and belt has even won itself on multiple occasions. The title has changed hands in a dream at least once. It's definitely a high water mark for the sport and worth checking out the history of title changes if you're interested: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ironman_Heavymetalweight_Champions I love everything about this so much  Time_pants posted:It is... hard to watch.

Pope Corky the IX posted:What did he do, open a door with his head? Goldberg likes to psyche himself up pre-match by slamming his head into a locker. This has worked against him time to time, like when his head kept bleeding during a promo and he started trailing off. So Goldberg concussed himself via his pre-match ritual and had to put on a 10-minute match with the Undertaker. At one point he went for his finisher, the Jackhammer, where he holds Undertaker upside-down and is supposed to twist and slam him safely on his back. Instead, he fell over and dropped the Undertaker straight down on his head. Now the Undertaker was out of it and when he went for the Tombstone, he didn't do it safely and Goldberg's head bounced off the mat. In the end, Undertaker did a chokeslam that was more of a "choke-push" and upon getting the pin, was openly pissed off about everything that just happened.

Brock Lesnar is the master of telling Vince McMahon no and to gently caress off. So Vince thinks he "wins" when he pays an enormous amount of money to get Brock under a part time contract that pays more than any of the full timers get.

Wow, what a shockingly stupid thing to do, although it's not so shocking now that he's done it. ...I also want to see this.

This reminds me of the Family Guy episode in which Herbert and that old Nazi war veteran who teaches Chris about puppets end up fighting to the death.

Huh, I thought he concussed himself when he rammed his head against the steel pole at the turnbuckle a few minutes into the match so hard he started bleeding? Before that point it seemed to be going okayish...

Time_pants posted:2 Cool and Rikishi were, without hyperbole, the single greatest act in the history of any entertainment medium and always will be. I sadly only really got to see them once or twice. When I started watching, Brian was soon out of action for a neck injury I think. Then Scotty had a knee injury just in time for Brian to come back., and his return was short-lived because I think he had issues with drugs and was pulled from TV. By the time Scotty came back, everything moved on without him so he was only on Heat from time to time. I stand by The Worm being a significantly better finishing move than The People's Elbow. They're essentially the same move (an elbow drop on a guy laying down), but The Worm has waaaayyyyy better buildup and The Rock's hype was undeserved.

The ring boy scandal. I don't know enough of it to be an expert, because I really don't want to know more than the basics, but there was a dude who would take sexual liberties with underage employees in the 80's and Vince turned a blind eye to it.

Pretty sure that Saudi fail-round was what prompted Taker to step down.  Xotl posted:So out of the 64 worst things in a long line of worst things twitter contest, what was the worstest (with some context, because I stopped following this stuff in the late 80s). Owen Hart - had a 99 gimmick as The Blue Blazer (some super eagle or something iono). During a PPV event, Owen was supposed to descend from the rafters to interrupt a match, but his harness failed and he dropped 70ft onto a turnbuckle. Dude died. Mass Transit - Paul Heyman's ECW days were full of crazy, but this is the time he almost killed a kid. 17 year old lied to be part of a match and was set up against a dude that was infamous for going off the script. Kid gets bladed extra deep, passes out from blood loss, and ends up needing stitches.
