i still miss swerve coming out to Ain't Nobody but it's not like i dislike his new theme wrestling characters are varied and themes sell the characters, though i'd easily love to see someone with a super goth or punk look break out something really peppy as a theme just for contrast, like that death metal band Party Cannon and their logo

Pope Corky the IX posted:I can recall people complaining about themes that don't fit or songs being used in general (like for a PPV) but now all I can think of is a bunch of examples from the 80s. There's always that one guy with an off-brand Randy Newman song for his WWE theme. I'm blanking on his name and there have been too many conversations about whether it "works" as an entrance theme, but it does make it a lot more memorable than the dozen vaguely metal themes his peers had.

I remember a lot of people in my indy fed being mad when Undertaker was using ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN' but it was because it sucked* and he (then) sucked rather than that it did not fit the character *I absolutely would listen to this song if it were randomly playing today, mind, but at the time Fred Durst was avoid at all costs

Did Jerry Lawler have a legitimate dislike of ECW and Bret Hart, or is he just that good of a worker? Who meant the most to wrestling from 2002 - 2012: Orton, Lesnar, Cena or Batista? And if your answer is Cena, whose your second place? What happened to Morishima in ROH after he won the title? Why did Paul Heyman have Taz beat Mike Awesome for the ECW title during that clusterfuck? Couldn't Awesome have dropped it to literally anybody else? Are Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash Jewish? Aside from the Okada matches, what is considered Kenny Omega's best match? What did Public Enemy do to piss off WWF management so much in 1999. I've heard they got on the wrong side of the acolytes during their early run. But there must have been something else, because they've been totally buried any time I've seen them wrestle in WWF. Did Pat Patterson know about what was going down in Montreal in 97? Who are some underrated world champions? Kosmo Gallion fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Oct 22, 2022 |

I'll answer as many of these as I can: Jerry and Bret are friendly outside of wrestling, I believe. I remember Jerry presenting some art to Bret as a gift. Jerry and Heyman have heat dating back to Memphis. Cena, then Lesnar. He went back to NOAH, did okay, had some weight and injury problems, retired, I think because of diabetes. To create attention for ECW and do it in a way that benefited WWE...whose payroll Paul was on. They supposedly no sold stuff and rubbed Bradshaw the wrong way. Pat almost definitely knew. I believe Vince, Earl, Shawn, HHH and Pat knew. Nick Bockwinkel, Raven, Barry Windham, Kevin Steen. El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Oct 22, 2022 |

From what I've heard, it's mostly a combination of them acting like they're really important when they're only good at garbage brawls and WWF backstage culture just not giving a drat about some random indie guys who think they're hot poo poo. It isn't actually very complicated.

It's worth noting that Bradshaw has a habit of singling out people from ECW, and went so overboard on Blue Meanie that Vince punished Bradshaw by having him job to Meanie, and didn't punish Stevie Richards when Stevie stiffed John during the finish with a chair.

I've noticed in deathmatch wrestling that women either usually wrestle men or (especially in Japan in what I've watched) women on women deathmatches tend to just be regular wrestling with slightly more color. Is the reason for no real big female on female deathmatches just that it's too niche (I mean look at how long it took for WWE to just take regular women's wrestling seriously) or is there another reason? Or maybe there's some badass female on female deathmatch wrestlers/matches/promotions and I'm just oblivious to them.

Historically FMW had women's deathmatches. Megumi Kudo vs Combat Toyoda and Megumi Kudo vs. Shark Tsuchiya are two of the all time classics. Right now in Japan there are really just three big name deathmatch wrestlers who do actual deathmatches, Rina Yamashita, Risa Sera, and Suzu Suzuki so that kinda limits the opportunities to do deathmatches without doing intergender. I'd recommend checking out Risa Sera vs Rina Yamashita from Ice Ribbon's Yokohama Buntai show in 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7JmTzJ2tTY

fez_machine posted:Butting in to add that Risa Sera and Suzu Suzuki are part of the what's probably the first women's deathmatch promotion Prominence Thanks for this! Can't wait to dive in. That match GEORGE W BUSHI linked was incredible, old school deathmatch with actual real wrestling in it and a slow build to the color and tubes. I like a good 1000000 light tube barb wire gimmick match now and then but it's so refreshing to see a 30 minute deathmatch where it starts out as just wrestling then gradually builds and when the tubes and stuff hit they have a ton of impact.
