At Chikarasaurus Rex, Gavin Loudspeaker came out to a really awesome song that began with an organ riff and then the lyrics "I used to feel DOOOOWWWWNN!" and then some crunchy guitars came in. I must have this song. Does anyone know what it was?

Talk to Wiggly, the guy who does Chikara's Podcasts. He's in a band, and I think all of the songs that Chikara uses in their Podcasts are his.

I also think they should have an intervention with Scott Hall, Jake the Snake and Chyna. Think of the hilarity.

Then beat the poo poo out of them. After the US, Japan, and Mexico, which country probably has the biggest love of wrestling? Canada because of the Harts? Maybe the UK?

He originally came in just to make Justin Credible happy and at some point there was talk of actually signing him. Then I believe he missed a show and showed up drunk later so they decided he was too volatile. Problem with ANY ECW rumours that were not confirmed in shoot tapes is that Paul Heyman used to filter stories to 1Wrestling, Torch and Wrestling Observer all of the time and would try to manipulate things to always make ECW look good. Truth is, ECW was very smart in controlling data to the dirt sheets. So it's 99% true that's what happened with Scott, but knowing ECW rumours, you gotta add 1% of "maybe its bullshit".

Shane Douglas and his buddies also hated Scott because of his behavior in WWE, so he wasn't exactly greeted with open arms by anyone but Justin. Also, add Jim Cornette to our list of WWE/WCW/ECW/TNA guys.

The first that I can recall (and I'm sure there were more beforehand) was an IC Title match between him and Triple H that would have happened roughly around 1998, I think. It may have even be a ladder match, all I really recall was that it was a fantastic match.

I think Mick Foley holds the distinction of being the only guy to hold gold in WWE (tag, hardcore, world), WCW (tag), ECW (tag), and TNA (world). The Steiner Bros were also in all four groups as a team and Scott as a single. If you add ROH Foley, Flair, and Steamboat were all in it.

Kerck Pnameless posted:What was The Rock's first great match and overall, how would you compare the quality of his matches to someone like Cena or Batista? When Rocky Miavia first came in, he had a few acceptable matches. One was a carry job by Bret Hart. Bret really pulled hard for him in it. Another was his match against Owen, another carry job. However, against any less of a worker he was pretty by the numbers since he had no clout to call anything his own. I thought the Rock was coming into his own as a worker around his programs with Ken Shamrock and then with Triple H, but he didn't become "The Great One" until he stopped feuding with Mick Foley, since those matches didn't let him show much. Rock's strength has always been his selling and intensity, which drives his opponents to work harder and allows the crowd to connect to the match better than close to any other wrestler in the business before him could do. Even today, nobody can carry a crowd like The Rock. Heel or Face. That was his biggest strength.

I can post a transcript of it tomorrow. Doing a project to see which wrestlers talk like which authors write. (Kane's first Undertaker Is Gone promo is like Isaac Asimov, apparently!) Edit: 01/11/10, RAW When I came to World Wrestling Entertainment, not a single person respected me. Not anyone out in the WWE Universe, and not anyone in the WWE locker room. Everybody wanted to get rid of me, nobody could stand me. They made my life a living hell. As a matter of fact, in this very locker room, I got kicked out for eating a piece of chicken--over a referee’s bag and spilling some crumbs. For SIX MONTHS. SIX MONTHS I was banned from the WWE locker room. I would have to find a place to change, a place to shower, a place to use the rest room. I’d walk down these halls and see superstars like JBL. Huh. And every day that JBL saw me he’d sarcastically say, “Miz, I look forward to your amazing work. Miz, you are a gift from God Miz!” Everybody berated me, everybody ridiculed me. Everyone wanted me to quit. But all that negativity, I used as fuel to ignite a wrath against everyone in the WWE, to become the star I am today. Now, I don’t even GO in that locker room, I have a private dressing room just for me! THAT locker room is for the Evan Bournes, and the M-V-Ps. The same MVP who is the number one contender for the United States Championship. So congratulations, MVP! You have earned the right to join a long list of people to get publicly humiliated by me. MVP doesn’t even deserve to be in the same ring as me. If it was up to me, MVP would still be in jail. I don’t believe in second chances because I have been perfect my entire life. Yet you, Miztakes all boo me and cheer him. Well go ahead, boo me, cheer MVP! Go ahead, boo me! I’d rather you all hate me for everything I am than love me for some thing I’m not. I am the reason you people watch Monday Night Raw, not MVP. I am the most captivating and entertaining superstar on this brand, NOT MVP. MVP comes out with his glitz and glam, his pyro, his ballin’, he’s got bright-link designer watches, designer suits. That’s great MVP, because let’s face facts MVP. You could put diamonds on a dog, but it’s still a mutt. All you Miztakes WILL respect me everyone, everyone in that locker room WILL respect their United States Champion! Because I’m the Miz…and I’m…AWESOME! Golden Bee fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Jul 28, 2010 |

Why does Vince McMahon hate the suffix ¨Junior¨? We have Rey Misterio, Ted DiBiase (which is especially confusing), etc. I always figured it might be a personal issue due to being a junior himself, or because it suggests smallness

It's a funny thought process that adding a Jr will make people take Ted Dibiase less seriously - but making him a much poorer copy of his father by tossing his father's gimmick on him when he has nowhere near the same charisma or speaking ability won't.

Whenever it's been brought up in the Observer or to Dave Meltzer, the answer has always been because Vince was called Junior when he was first breaking into the business as a derogatory term to belittle him. Thus, he grew to hate the term and doesn't want any of his wrestlers to be known as Jr. because he sees it as them being labeled inferior.

Some called him it to belittle him but in general it was because they called Vince Sr. "Vince" and Vince Jr. "Junior". It plays into Vince's whole self-made man thing which ignores his dad basically giving him a very profitable wrestling promotion after Junior had failed at everything he tried on his own.
