There was a botch on... RAW I think? a few months back with the women, where Becky messed up the pincount and didn't kick out. Lots of confusion across everyones faces, but they managed to rescue it to some degree. e: ah heres the news story, Becky was supposed to break the pin but didn't get there in time. And it was NXT. http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/612...tential-problem

Scott Justice posted:Any stories of match outcomes changing due to in ring injuries? Like champ gets injured and changes the finish so the other guy gets the win instead? Rick Martel was supposed to defend the WCW TV Title against Booker T and then Perry Saturn, defeating both. He got badly injured against Booker and had Booker go over. Booker and Saturn had to do a match entirely on the fly.

Heyman sort of suggests that Brock hurt Undertaker enough to shoot pin him knowing they'll never punish or fire the guy who broke the streak. 1. I can totally believe this is something Brock would do. 2. I don't believe anything that comes from Heyman.

Do you know how you can tell Paul Heyman is lying? His lips are moving. I've seen that clip and not even Paul believes the words he's saying. Anyway, Ausgoons, anyone going to PCW in Ferntree Gully tonight to see The Future of Flight?

I might be forgetting a backstage scene or pull apart brawl. But does anyone know if Joey Mercury ever returned to WWE after his rehab stint earlier this year? - Actually nevermind. He's still recovering and not ready for the road apparently. rovert fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Jul 30, 2016 |

I heard that Roman was supposed to beat Brock at WM 32 but Vince had to send out Seth because Brock wouldn't cooperate is this true?????EL BROMANCE posted:There was a botch on...

I remember this, after the match they just did all the spots that were supposed to be the actual finish. We also got to hear Drake say "be happy, you won".

Booker and Saturn had to do a match entirely on the fly. to expand WCW booked 2 TV title matches for Superbrawl 8. Saturn and Booker T had been feuding over the TV title and both had claims to #1 contendership. Martel would defend the title against Booker, and then the winner would go on to defend the belt against Saturn in the next match on the card. Martel basically destroyed his knee when he was hiptossed by Booker T from the middle of the ring and into the corner, and his leg caught the ropes, tearing an interior ligament, fracturing it, and destroying cartilage. Martel kept going for a few more minutes, and eventually Booker won the match, and then did the job to Saturn (who had originally been planned to win anyway)

VJeff posted:What the hell is up with Punk's character in 2012 and early 2013? I'm watching clips and he's just constantly coming off like a whiny rear end in a top hat that serves as nothing except to be a punching bag for the Rock. Watching him throw a tantrum in the ring after the '13 Rumble is hurting my soul. Punk was always bad

Die Laughing posted:Didn't Mable win the championship because his fat rear end couldn't get off the guy he sat on? Then Diesel destroyed him in record time. Yeah. Men on a Mission beat The Quebecers for the Tag titles on a overseas tour because Mabel couldn't get off the guy he was covering. Also, if you've never seen Men on a Mission, they're pretty much what Vince wanted The New Day to be. Also, there was a Women's title change that happened at a house show a couple years back where the champ didn't kick out in time.

Just rewatched the Michinoku Pro six-man tag from ECW and have two questions. 1. Are there any similar matches from that era? Maybe with the same guys 2. Loved the taunt where TAKA and the other guy bend the opponent from waist and the third guy climbs on to the back and flexes. Is that their normal taunt and did they pull it off in WWF? Seem to remember reading somewhere that maybe JBL was recipient

Bunch of Smark assholes chanting Inoki boma Ye at them at around 10 minutes in. Spotfest is the word for these matches. I love Kaientaii matches, but Sasuke takes a Michenoku driver from Taka, and just gets up immediately to get to their next spot.

I remember seeing it a lot in mid 90s Michinoku Pro. Also CIMA/Crazy Max stole it during their feud at the beginning of CIMA's career where they did their thrusting/loving taunt on top of the dude.

remusclaw posted:Bunch of Smark assholes chanting Inoki boma Ye at them at around 10 minutes in. I find that instances like this, though they definitely happened, were pretty rare (though there is one exactly like the one you mentioned in the match I just linked). Generally the selling is sufficient enough while still being all-action due to the lucha tag rules format. As in, if a guy eats a big move he's generally going to roll to the outside and let someone else take over.

Endless Mike posted:Science disagrees with you (regular smokers had a 10-fold increase in car crash injury compared to frequent or nonusers), and again, if not smoking for half a day is in any way a problem, maybe you need to reconsider your lifestyle. This study only had 11 participants. I'd hardly call it conclusive. e: Also, it says 10 were THC positive on day 26 and 2 on day 30 so those 9 people could've smoked a few days before their wreck and not been high while they were driving.

I don't know how to upload pics here, but up until the last Raw before the new WWE logo in 2014 the previous logo sat about a quarter of the way across the screen on the bottom left while the WWEHD logo as hashtags would be directly in the top left. Was this to do with anything simple like aspect ratios, like why not have it directly in the corner?

Many shows/networks have only stopped making sure their graphics fit on 4:3 TVs within the last couple years. In WWE's case, it made sense to let the WWEHD logo get cut off on SD TVs. I don't know why the hashtags weren't kept 4:3 safe though.

That's how a lot of people have it set, yeah. I'm guessing there's a pretty high crossover between 'hates black bars' and 'is susceptible to the crap written on the screen everyone else hates' too, so it's surprising they didn't use the 4:3 safe grid like mentioned above. Most channels do/did, which has always looked pretty awkward.
