Unperson_47 posted:Who is the best wrestler with the most 1 star matches Well, going by this, Braun Strowman & Toru Yano have 5 matches each between * & DUD but there's no way to search by negative ratings. And also going by this page I count 35 matches * & under for Yano. Which just goes to show that Dave hates fun. Where as on Hulk Hogan's IWDB page I count 42 * & under. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jun 29, 2022 |

El Gallinero Gros posted:Horace Hogan has a 5 star, so do the Bushwhackers quote:The main event on the show had Onita & Taman Goto from FMW teaming with Santo against FMW regular Horace Boulder (Mike Boller, the real-life nephew of Hogan) & local wrestler Tim Patterson & Casas in a two-of-three fall match going near minutes in a match nearly 30 minutes rated almost consensus ***** Santo was said to have looked better than ever before in working with his ''favorite'' opponent, although he and Casas were the only top-flight workers of the group. Apparently the rest brawled all over the building taking wild bumps from one level of the bleachers down to another, with garbage cans and chairs doing the FMW style while Casas and Santo stayed in the ring mainly doing their patented spots.

I don't think Shane was that bad of a wrestler. Well, young Shane, I didn't watch any of his more recent matches. He was a very limited guy who would absolutely have been exposed if he tried a regular schedule, but he knew what he brought to the table, knew what the people wanted to see and was always ready to deliver (him getting hurt in spectacular ways), and was pretty good at in ring storytelling (looking like he got beat to poo poo). I always knew what to expect when he had a match on the card and usually delivered and was fun. I'd much rather watch him than guys who are technically better trained but boring as hell.

What's the deal with The Acclaimed guys' "scissor me" thing, is it a reference to something or did they just start doing it one day and it got over? I asked someone at work after Forbidden Door but they couldn't remember any context

I asked someone at work after Forbidden Door but they couldn't remember any context Meanwhile, Danhausen had been calling Gunn Club "rear end Boys" in his videos, and called Billy Gunn "Billy rear end". Billy thought it was funny and embraced it, his sons did not. So when The Acclaimed linked up with him they started calling them "Daddy rear end and the rear end Boys", which led to Bowens saying "scissor me, Daddy rear end".

sticklefifer posted:The Acclaimed would come out and spread their first two fingers pointing downward in an A shape. Around the time the raps started getting more controversial, they started pushing the A's together because they're dirty boys. Then their match intro shtick got longer on the ramp so Bowens started calling for Max to "scissor me" instead of just doing it as a signature hand gesture in the ring. Billy Gunn was at one time in WWE known as Badass Billy Gunn and then Mr. rear end Billy Gunn. Danhausen took this as his name literally being Billy rear end, and thus his sons were the rear end Boys.

yeah, iirc Okada carried Fale to a pretty good match where the whole story was that Fale was putting over his own Tombstone, with his Undertaker flourish on the pin, as superior to Okada's. Nothing amazing, and probably the worst title match of his 2016-18 run, but it was okay.

The only Fale match I remember is the one he lost to ZSJ by count out in the G1, but that was mostly for Zack running through the crowd celebrating like he'd won the main event of Wrestle Kingdom. Also the KING OF DESTROYER match

The Fale/ZSJ match from Zack's first G1 was great too. Zack crawled all over him like he was a Shadow of the Colossus boss.

I enjoy that they were evil heels from New Zealand. I can't imagine how many 'they're right and they should say it' comments they'd get whenever they'd cut a pro-New Zealand anti-USA promo in this day and age.

After the star rating questions from last page I feel obligated to ask, who is the most consistently mediocre worker? You guys mentioned bad wrestlers who managed a good match, and great wrestlers who had bad matches, but who always delivers a match that is fine? Just cranking out a conveyor belt of 3.25 star matches every single time, regardless if they are given a once in a lifetime opportunity against an amazing wrestler, while simultaneously if they are put in a terrible situation they manage to avoid having it be an all time dumpster fire that gets mocked relentlessly. I'm looking around cagematch a little bit and I might have to nominate X-Pac. He never had the highs the other members of the clique reached, wasn't responsible for any of the most memorable moments of the attitude era, then worked TNA after that but never had performances like some of the TNA originals had. But on the other hand, he was definitely a step above the work rate of the average stiff of the new generation era, wasn't involved in anything trainwreck awful during the attitude era or after, and his indie bookings as he got older seemed to be decent, from what I've heard.

Could be Scorpio Sky? High floor, low ceiling kinda guy. He's not gonna give you anything special but in the ring he's never bad. YOSHI-HASHI, Chase Owens, Yujiro Takahashi also fit.

Yoshi-Hashi was definitely that guy for years if we're talking mediocre. But if we're talking 3.25 stars which is good but not notable I'd say Regal is that guy.

Thinking about the street fight he had in ROH where he took 1 bump and was bested by Bully Ray who took 0 bumps including managing to stay on his feet delivering a super bomb.
