LividLiquid posted:Yeah. So again, Vince McMahon is a loving liar and I'm tired of him stroking his cock all over cable with his bullshit announcements. USA shouldn't let him lie like that.  Not quite a lie perhaps, but how impressed are we supposed to be that World Wrestling Entertainment holds more shows in Europe than the National Basketball, Hockey and Football Leagues?

KungFu Grip posted:JBL. It was the I Quit match at Judgment Day I bet. Also one of the first matches Matt Hardy had back in WWE against Edge he got busted open pretty badly and the match was stopped(part of it was kayfabe too). Wasn't it Matt Hardy that got his head split by Mysterio's knee brace a while back too?

Beautiful Ninja posted:Exploding Anus Match does sound pretty hardcore. But I've actually seen a match where people bumped onto loving hypodermic needles. And the worst part was the needle spot didn't even end the match. The hypodermic needles were used in the "Saw Deathmatch" between Drake Younger and Thumbtack Jack; ostensibly promoted by wXw, but in actuality is just in somebodies garage and back alley. There was also, IIRC, a razor blade chair and an electric drill. Deathmatch wrestling always has bizarre stipulations such as (and these are the official titles) Burning Coffin Death Match 200 Carpet Strip Death Match Hot Coals & Lit Cigarettes Match Barefoot poo poo You Don't Want To Step On Death Match Bed of Nails and Anything With Nails On Them Match Taipei Death & poo poo That Hurts When You Get It In Your Cuts Match Ultraviolent Boxes, Squared Circle Of Fear & Whatever The gently caress Is Left Match 200 Light Tubes, Panes of Glass, and All the Other poo poo in the Back We Could Find Match And I did see a Drunken Death Match between Necro Butcher and (I think) JC Bailey, where the stipulation was that they had to stop every 2 minutes and take a shot of tequila

Mr. Carlisle posted:Has anyone seen the new Luchador Wrestling show that MTV2 will be showing in middle of this month? I saw guys like LaParka (The new one I think) on it and they had a (actually rather decent for an MTV2 show) special on today that I caught flipping through the channels introducing the key players and it was pretty informative about the different kinds of Luchadors and how important the masks are to the culture etc. There's a few "names" on there that even I recognise (knowing gently caress all about Lucha). Marco Corleone was Mark Jindrak in WWE. Mascarita Dorada and Oriental have both wrestled in CHIKARA. I just hope they manage to avoid the crappy special effects that WSX used

"The next day, I sat down with both Guns and asked for the whole story behind the big misunderstanding from a year earlier. I know readers will want to know the story behind the misunderstanding but after giving the subject much thought, I decided that the details are for them to tell, not me. Their rational was pretty intricate but completely understandable, and I asked them if they'd ever explained their side of the story to Jeff. They had not. [...] The talk must have gone OK, because four months later they're all in the same ring, making nice" The above extract is from Mick Foley's new book, essentially claiming to have helped save the MCMGs career in TNA. Not being a TNA follower, but being (at one time) a big Foley fan and quite a big MCMG fan, does anyone know what the "misunderstanding" was? The only thing that springs to mind is a vague recollection of some story about them not wanting to blade, but I think that was earlier?
