So how do you call a match? Tajiri is fluent in English and used to pretend he wasn't to gently caress with people backstage. Tajiri rules.

JOHN CENA posted:the injury was unfortunate but the match result and orton cash in was always the plan as a way to get the belt to orton without orton beating cena. danielson getting over was never the intention. Realizing the establishment of The Authority was never meant to get Danielson over was the exact moment I realized WWE was beyond redemption.

was there a heel who regularly made faces look bad and was not booked to get them over before the nWo? for example, kick a guy in the nuts and call them a pathetic dumbass loser, etc., high five eachother and then walk away and that was the whole thing

Pope Corky the IX posted:Am I crazy or did the World title have WCW lineage until the moment Benoit won it from Triple H? Sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't. Like they put out a whole DVD called the "The History of the World Heavyweight Championship" and included on it was NWA and WCW titles matches. So at the time they intended it to be a continuation. And it came out post-Benoit.

Okay, thank you. I remember it having the WCW lineage up until a certain point in the 00s and I thought that was when Benoit won it. Maybe Orton?

Man, I cannot even begin to imagine what a Warrior-Goldberg match would look like. I know what it would sound like: the crowd going mental through a two-minute staredown, followed by a mass quietening after each man injures themselves within five minutes and Scott Hall shows up with a stun gun for the finish and the NWO music plays.

During the first WWF Hogan run did anyone get a one up over Hogan or was Warrior the only one who didn't have to run it back* *until years later.

Has anyone from AEW said when the idea for Blackpool Combat Club came about? In the initial angle that kicked things off, a heel Danielson was tempting Mox to join forces... but then most of the crowd reactions were like "wait a minute, that actually sounds awesome" so he wasn't getting heel heat for it. I assume TK just pivoted during the buildup to their PPV match and went for a long-term faction instead, but that goes against his supposed MO of booking things 3 years in advance.

When Regal became available, that solidified it.

Regal also said he'd planned to take a year off from wrestling completely after he got released from WWE, but either Mox or Danielson (I forget which) called him up personally and pitched the idea to him. He also said the idea to call it the Blackpool Combat Club was 100% Mox's idea.

My other favorite thing about it was that they kept Regal's debut a secret from everyone except Mox and Danielson, so Tony Schiavone's excited shout of "THAT'S WILLIAM REGAL!" was 100% genuine (and later, when they ran into each other backstage, he hugged Regal and said "You kayfabin' son of a bitch!")

I would've 100% believed that Regal was the plan all along, because as soon as he showed up, their connection made perfect sense. It felt sort of weird to have Mox and Danielson hanging out before that, until I remembered he had mentored both of them in very different circumstances.

There was talk of Danielson forming a Dragon-gun shooter stable for a while before BCC formed as well right? Garcia and Yuta were names often thrown around as possible apprentices.

The other name thrown around was Lee Moriarty, who I hope gets some shine soon

This is a very silly and very pointless question. But are "Invisible Man" and "Invisible Stan" affiliated in any way? Is there a stable of invisible wrestlers? I ask because, much like wrestlers having fun, silly matches vs Yoshihiko, the same wrestlers have had similar matches vesus either of the two invisible wrestlers that I know. So I was thinking that maybe there may have been a tag match, between two normal wrestlers, and the team of Invisible Man and Invisible Stan. Typing all this out makes me question whether Invisible Stan actually existed at all, and is not just a bad joke I thought up ages ago but never told anyone.

Unfortunately I can't link one to you because of rules, & even if I could the main site I know recently went private & hasn't gotten around to creating Invites yet. But if you want to watch ECW as god intended, with Natural Born Killaz playing over New Jack matches, torrents are you best bet.
