Do Shawn Dean and Carli Bravo tag together on the indies somewhere? I liked them as a team on Dark during the Daily's Place pandemic shows.

Did Mick Foley have a retirement video set to I Will Remember You? I vaguely remember it being around his 2000 retirement but can't find it online. I can only find his Saliva hardcore tribute video from 2003 and his hall of fame ceremony package. Just want to check I'm not going crazy.

Lily Catts posted:When Misawa and company left AJPW to form NOAH, were they able to keep their entrance music or did they have to make new ones? Though Misawa's entrance music is from a Jackie Chan movie anyway so lol All the music carried over cause they used music from other sources so All Japan couldn't claim ownership. It wasn't till the mid 00's that you saw the big companies produce original music cause of copyright and ownership Which always struck me as odd cause I've always thought Japan's music rights laws were strict even I the 80's and 90's

Talking about Chikara in the AEW thread made me think, and if I'm wrong I'm wrong, but is there any wrestler whose influence and reach far exceeded what their career was as Larry Sweeney? He was only around a few years, never hit the big time, and then we tragically lost him. But in the decade since he is still talked of admirably, people still look back on him for influence, and just about all of his contemporaries will name him alongside other more famous pioneers who lead wrestling to what it has become today. People to this day know Larry Sweeney even if they never once saw him because he comes up so often.

It was pre-youtube for sure, i had a copy of it for several years until i lost it in a hard drive crash. I don't remember if it was official or fan-made or where i got it from or why it even existed because he was back on tv like a month later?

Is the This Is Your Life segment with Nick Faley and The Rock still the highest rated WWE segment? Or was it just the biggest in the Attitude Era?

Here's a silly thing I just thought of: Lets say you work for one of the big companies and for whatever reason, you are not on TV for a while. Surely you still have to keep going to the gym and practising to keep your body in tip top shape. Whilst also keep going to the tanning booths etc. to keep you looking "TV ready". How demoralizing must that be for a wrestler, to be still spending multiple hours a day pumping iron, and doing ring drills etc. whilst getting sprayed with dyeand god know what else to maintain an unrealistic physical appearance, only for it all to be for noting as you drive another 4 hours in a rental car you paid for yourself to sit in the green room of a stadium to hear your friends getting cheered. yet again. So um .... not really a question though. Sorry.

It was never the highest rated anything, thats a myth that they propagated for... some reason. Undertaker v Steve Austin 28 June 1999 is the highest ever.

Cribbing from WhatCulture four segments were higher rated than This is Your Life, and... it's a list. 1. Steve Austin v The Undertaker 2. Shane O Mac, Triple H, The Undertaker v Vince, Steve Austin and The Rock 3. The Stooges v The Mean Street Posse (yes, literally) 4. The Rock and Lita v Triple H and Trish Stratus

I find lifting weights to be pretty fun, but I would be in hell if I had to tan multiple times a week and get a fresh haircut every few days and whiten my teeth and keep my roots dyed at all times and shave my back hair all the time, but I figure if you're the kind of person who wants to be a pro wrestler on the television then looking good is a thing that you're into just naturally

SatoshiMiwa posted:All the music carried over cause they used music from other sources so All Japan couldn't claim ownership. It wasn't till the mid 00's that you saw the big companies produce original music cause of copyright and ownership They (along with NJPW) were involved with major broadcasters, so my guess is that whatever blanket license fees was paid to use songs on variety shows probably also covered the rasslin’. Because you sure hear a lot of songs used on Japanese TV that would be too expensive for American broadcasts (hi, Beatles).

Thinking of Jon Moxley, Malakai Black, Adam Cole, Miro, FTR and Andrade, whom out of them would you say is the biggest squandered opportunity for the WWE?

It’s either miro or Moxley, miro for being the body type Vince likes or Moxley to just basically be 21st century stone cold Steve Austin.

Moxley. He was knocking at the door or being a top guy and could of easily been a Cena level star at least but nobody could be bigger than Roman so....

edogawa rando posted:Thinking of Jon Moxley, Malakai Black, Adam Cole, Miro, FTR and Andrade, whom out of them would you say is the biggest squandered opportunity for the WWE? Either Andrade or Malakai. Andrade is a proven main event talent who was in the second biggest gate in the history of Mexico and they wouldn't do anything with him. They did even less with Malakai but he's not the kind of proven big time talent Andrade was, so maybe they squandered less. Moxley was legitimately a very big star there and they did a lot with him even if they hosed him up too. They did a lot with Miro too even if they hosed it up worse. Adam Cole left on his own and they didn't get a chance to completely squander him first, even if they wasted him in the minors. FTR aren't the level of can't miss talents as the rest and 30 years of tag teams being mostly meaningless (with a few exceptions) in WWE meant there was less to squander. But Andrade is the kind of talent they have been trying to find since they decided Rey was too old 12 years ago.

Upsides, Miro then Andrade. Black has been fun. I don't get Cole yet but it took time for Black and Andrade to grow on me. I don't like Black's new guys yet but I probably will. And yeah, Pac needs to be included too. I'd put him with Andrade. You could probably do the same question with people that wwe disrespected.

A tad late on the wrestler cameos discussion, but I watched a weird as hell indie fantasy-comedy called Dave Made a Maze. Nick Thune builds a box fort in his apartment that becomes a sentient labyrinth, complete with a Minotaur who stalks and kills people. I looked at the credits and the Minotaur was played by John Morrison in a bull mask.
