Is the Giant Swing something that you assume would make you dizzy as gently caress but actually doesn’t, or does it genuinely just make you dizzy as gently caress. I feel like there’s gonna be no middle ground. I suppose you just pick a point on the ceiling and stare at it til it’s over, but I’m not sure that’d work when spinning horizontally around a point like that Answers Me fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Jan 12, 2024 |

Claudio has said that it makes some guys dizzy but not othersquote:On guys who hate taking the swing: “There’s a lot of people that get dizzy from it. You can see them just grabbing my leg immediately and try to wriggle out of it, and I usually don’t let them. It’s a lot of people. Big Daddy Magic is one of them, just yelling and screaming at me I think we were not even half a rotation in and he was already yelling at me… Brodie Lee used to hate it, he used to curse me out the whole time which I thought was hilarious. We always got into it beforehand and afterward, it was great, he just hated it so much. I always remember that.” https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news...%20of%20people.

Getting on top of that huge cage and realizing you have no traction must be the craziest feeling. You'd definitely see me suddenly drop to my stomach and crawl away like a lizard

It was still wild, but it looked fairly safe live. I was more worried about Eddie Kingston climbing up there.

I was to young to remember, but during the Billionaire Ted/Huckster/Nacho Man (lol) stuff, did WWE ever parody Sting as Stink, if so why not. and who were the other characters - Diesel and Razor Ramon (lol again) how you know?

Basically "I BUILT HULK AND MACHO HOW DARE THEY BETRAY ME", Ted for basically being everything Vince wanted which was a successful rich guy who had a wrestling side gig, and as for Mean Gene... eh I don't know why apparently vince and gene where on neutralish terms from what I've read. Why more wrestlers didn't get shots taken at them directly was probably because vince may have wanted to sign those guys at somepoint, and really there's no real stuff to be made on throwing pot shots at someone like sting, ddp, flair, etc, because they really weren't famous enough outside of the wrestling bubble to be well known enough for a publicity stunt as opposed to tagging the above group.

The premise of those sketches was that WCW could only get stars by signing them away from WWF once they got too old. Acknowledging Sting would’ve worked against that.

Other than the Outsiders just being Fake Diesel and Fake Razor Ramon without names but with toothpick and accent as opposed to the real ones in WWE (when Kane was Diesel)

Nothing as goofy as the Billionaire Ted skits, but they had a reoccurring thing where they'd run a clip of one of their current guys beating a former WCW/now WWE guy. Like before commercial you'd randomly get a clip of Jim Duggan beating Steve Austin, no commentary even attached to why it was happening

Also the NWO trio, mostly Hall from what I remember would use billionaire ted, scheme gene, and nacho man when referencing them.

In late1999 WCW would do parody versions of Jim Ross and Chyna, but by that point they were in the death spiral and it was long past the peak of the monday night wars.

WCW also renamed IRS as VK Wallstreet. He had previously competed as Michael Wallstreet but the VK was added as a shot at Vince.

Vigil holds the distinction of having been named Virgil by WWF to mock Dusty Rhodes, then Vincent by WCW to mock Vince McMahon.

There's been a bit of discussion on twitter about Performance Centre ACL tears and the rash of them in women's football, so my question is if a propensity towards ACL tears is inherent in women, why haven't they been super prevalent in the famously strenuous and demanding area of Joshi wrestling?

I think someone once told me why womens wrestling always looks kinda poo poo in the US and the reason for that was that until relatively recently women in the us where trained wrong or badly on purpose which could be a reason for it.

Yeah the TLDR that was given to me before is the general attitude was “women’s wrestling is a sideshow so who gives a poo poo, just go out there and do whatever” and they were trained accordingly.

There was at least one women's match (Trish and someone, maybe) that was a real barnstormer and several backstage people were mad about it. I want to say Jericho told them it was really good and was on their side.

JR tweeted a while back (see below) that a lot of the boys were pissy about it, but it's possible Jericho wasn't among them and instead stood up for the women afterwards. https://nitter.net/JRsBBQ/status/1637637462972420101
