oldpainless posted:poo poo, who knows exactly what did it? Maybe it was the stress of his divorces. Didn't he get divorced like twice within 4 years or something? Or if he was constantly going out with Orton and Batista in Evolution, that's gonna take a toll a lot quicker on a 55-year-old man than the 30-year-old Ric Flair in the 4 Horsemen. But it is a huge difference between Flair in 2001 and Flair in 2009. Coming out with Orton and Batista kinda started emphasizing how old he was on it's own.

dusty udder smoker posted:wrong FCW. The old one was actually Championship Wrestling from Florida. The WWE version is a completely new entity made only about 2 years ago. It's not "technically" the exact same thing, but it looks like WWE has pretty much claimed the heritage for themselves. I can live with that I guess.

Speaking of Chyna, was she ever any good at actually wrestling? All I can remember is her acting as the (180 lb) "muscle" of DX, and I was WCW back then so I don't recall any woman's matches.

Benign posted:How has Sheamus been around so long (well, long enough to be WWE champion) and not have a 100% for sure finisher (the kick to the head or the razor's edge)? Even his signature move, the sideslam backbreaker, doesn't seem to have any significance. Was "Carcinogenic Right Hand" ever made an official name?

I don't think chokeslams and DDTs really count as "unnamed". I think he was talking more about stuff like "Undertaker's new submission manuver" or guys like Sheamus that can't decide on a finisher.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:The point is that this isn't what happens. If Vince McMahon is gloating about anything, it's about paying customers like you that fantasize that he brought in guys like Eric Bischoff and Christian chiefly, or only, to stick it to them. In Bischoff's case, a guy with a lot of big name appeal who generated buzz with wrestling fans on entry; in Christian, a guy who literally has no problem with the way Vince McMahon does anything, but that wanted to work an easier schedule for a while. Oh goddamnit settle down.

CM Junk posted:The Ladder Match DVD set actually does a drat good job of highlighting the evolution of the ladder match, but it is sorely, sorely lacking the HBK/Razor match from WMX. Although it does have the SummerSlam rematch from a year and a half later. I think that's because it was on Heartbreak & Triumph, which came out around the same time.

I really want to see Cornette and Russo get in a "shoot" fight with each other. And by "shoot" I mean an out of shape 50-year-old vs. an out of shape 60-year-old throwing kind-of punches at each other until, let's say, The Destroyer, seperates them like a couple of 10-year-olds fighting over a baseball card.

The Rock was kinda lovely in the ring anyway (sorry, "low impact"), so it doesn't really matter if he finished matches off with a standing elbow drop every once in a while.

Jerusalem posted:Yes the Rock was "lovely" in that if you stopped and dispassionately looked at his style and execution and technical ability he wasn't very good. Nobody ever did that, though, because everyone was too busy being absolutely loving enthralled in every single little thing he did. I agree, Hogan was also awful at the wrestling part of his job. I can only stand a match comprised entirely of bad-by-wrestling-standards looking punches for so long.

Lone Rogue posted:Rock was a phenomenal heavyweight seller and a solid bumper. He went out there with the intention it seemed to make his opponent always look like he was on his level, and due to that, it's why he's one of the best wrestlers of his generation. Just about every move he executed was crisp, tight and well executed and he kept audiences connected to everything he did through unbelievable charisma. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzbJx2N0jBE Meh, I just don't like the fucker, probably because I don't think he's funny. And that concludes my 3rd annual "The Rock Sucks" soliloquy.

It's what independent wrestlers can never loving get through their head when they get to the WWE. You're not selling for the front row, you're selling for the bleeders. Oh come on, I just posted that clip to be a smart rear end, but come on. You couldn't have originally typed that post to defend Rock's stupid Stunner-handstand thing.
