ecw never used a weed whacker as a weapon, never mind one that was used in the match and didn't even lead to the finish.

That Tai Pei Death Match Ian and Axel had was pretty terrible and hard to watch on multiple levels.

Then again, Sapphire picked Dusty Rhodes, so maybe she's the winner.

Edge got thrown off the RAW stage or something a few years ago and one of the EMT guys was this guy who sounded like a cabbie from the bronx and he said "Can ya feel your toes?" It was pretty funny.

To be honest it's a legit question you ask and they pretty much do it all the time. I also thought the "CAN YA FEEL YER TOES?!" came from when the stage collapsed on Vince and he started shouting "PAUL! PAUL!"

I thought Austin had to be talked into it in the first place. Can't blame him too much, that was like getting stuck with the fat chick while Rock went home with her hot friend. I'm not trying to be creepy, that's just the best analogy I could think of.

Wasn't Nash supposed to face someone at WM18 too but pulled the, I'm sick/injured card?

Pretty sure I didn't watch WCW when Dusty was wrestling.. but the Bionic thing seems eerily familiar. Did they use the same term for Lugers elbows any time?

As said above you, Luger had a metal plate/bar/rod in his one forearm. I do believe that for awhile he had a Bionic Clothesline or something fancy like that.

If the NBA can have female refs, why not WWE? It doesn't have to be some bikini model either. There isn't a good reason to NOT have a female ref.

WWF had a female ref. Vince raped her and she filed for harassment. Odds are we wont be seeing a female ref in WWE again.

If they get serious on inducting tag teams, obviously the Road Warriors have to go in. So would the RNRs and the Midnights, I'd have to say. What about the Dudleys, though? I know they've been in TNA for a few years now, but I was under the impression they left WWE on relatively good terms, and you can't argue with how much they accomplished as a team?

The Dudleys got pissed once they found out they didn't own those names. Then they went and shitted all over the WWE any chance they got.

I don't think you understand how copyright works or the difference between it and trademark.

The only reason they got away with using the gimmick in the WWF before the buyout was that Paul just didn't care. If you come up with a gimmick in any fed, it's their intellectual property.

Pretty sure the deal with WWE and ECW was when they bought out ECW they also got all their intellectual property too, that's how they were able to use the Dudley name in WWF(all 3 of them) but once they left WWE they had to go by Brother [insert name].

Just an out there question, but from TNA's roster and WWE's roster who do you guys think would be welcomed in with open arms and who would be booed out of the building if they went to join ROH? You can use any reason though to determine how ROH's fans would react.

So here is a question, how many times on wrestling have their been actual depictions of attempted murder. Not someone almost killing someone in the ring, but in the storyline someone performing an act backstage that served no purpose other than to legitimately try and kill someone else.

I can think of Stone Cold getting hit by the car, and the Undertaker and Paul Bearer trying to embalm Stone Cold alive.

I think this counts:

Kane set a casket containing the Undertaker on fire after pouring gasoline all over it and inside it.


Randy Orton topped this by doing the same but then taking an ax to the casket. He also drove a lowrider through the Smackdown set with Taker on it making it blow up.

Nevermind it seems Kane and Randy might have done the same thing.

I think I remember an interview with HHH where he was asked about the funeral home skit, and he said there was an actual funeral going on in the next room over. And while they'd be filming, Vince would keep yelling at HHH to hump the dummy harder and to be over the top about it. The funeral director had to keep peeking his head in, telling them to quiet down.

I really wonder which scenario is more tasteful.

Didn't Kane then dress up as Triple H and do something similar to mock him?

The post below this reminded me of a situation where this happened. Late 98-early 99 Billy Gunn was fueding with Ken Shamrock for the IC Title and Road Dogg was fueding with Bossman for the Hardcore belt while they were still teaming as the New Age Outlaws.

Pretty sure Jeff and Matt held singles titles while still a tag team and never broke up over them. Christian and Edge might have been a team like that too.

The Dudley name is worth nothing by itself. What the hell are you talking about? The legal fees alone would cost more than what the name would be worth and the WWE owns all their best matches anyway. What are they going to do, make the money back in T-Shirt sales?

I don't know, how much money do you think Bubba, D-Von, and Spike have? Because I'm pretty sure they are the only Dudleys that lost the rights to use that name.

Hogan's Meat Shoes was a ridiculous post in GBS about a guy thinking Hogan sponsored shoe's that had little compartment in them that you could store pieces of meat in and when you walked the sweat and warmth from your feet would warm them up.

Fart Juice is a word Cena used in a promo once.

A lot of people didn't like Austin's run as Co-GM/Sheriff of Raw, but I really enjoyed it, especially when it was ruled he couldn't fight wrestlers unless he was provoked (cue Austin going out and BEGGING people to punch him in the face) or how Mr. DTA was forced into a position where he HAD to trust a team to fight for him at Survivor Series (I think).

And then they lost and Austin was forced to leave the WWE.

After watching Raw this week, have there been many other multi team tag matches with those kind of rules? Usually they're more "tornado tag"-type matches; or the ones where you have 2 men in the ring, and anyone can be tagged in (like the one at Wrestlemania XX)

There was one at one of the Cyber Sundays I think. It was a 4 team tornado tag match. Had the Highlanders, Cryme Tyme, Cade and Murdoch, Haas/Vis in it. I think that wis when Cryme Tyme won their Tag Title shot against Spirit Squad, but never used it.
