Living Vicariously posted:Wasn't this all when Shawn had a gently caress ton of influence backstage, though? I imagine a lot of the concept of getting the belt on him was simply Shawn whispering in Vince's ear the whole time. Probably part that and the fact i don't think vince at the time wanted HBK to then walk out a couple of months later. Ignoring hindsight I can see why vince would be more intrested in keeping shawn happy at that point than bret.

Sugar Blaster posted:I want to say WWE have already acknowledged him a few times, but I can't cite specifics. That enclopedia of wrestling had him mentioned. But I don't blame wwe for not mentioning or promoting him he would be a media shitstorm just cause the media love to tear down wwe and wrestling.

Wasn't he due to beat trips during THAT fued but once goldberg was coming in they nixed it and he just looked awful. King Booker was an amazing end for his wwe run although i'd love for him to come back at the rumble even if its for one night.

Lashley left as he was dating one of the divas who got canned for not agreeing to be involved with a storyline. Think the story involved that teddy long wedding.

DDP debut was the best because the crowd was going nuts and jr was trying to sell us on ddp being a heel and a sicko. DDP apparently got shafted as he couldn't sell a comeback as a heel apparently at least thats what lance storm said on his last shoot interview.

Its crazy when you think hes been in the WWF/E for like 13 years now and I remember his first match on shotgun or metal or whatever there saturday morning jobber show was called at the time.

Given how much of a financial impact mania has I don't think WWE will take 50k+ seats off the gate for the MSG tradition. Cowboys stadium is certainly one that's being thrown about.

MassRayPer posted:TNA in 2005 and part of 2006 was considered great. Some of 2006 is an afterglow affect of the greatness of 2005. In September 2006 Russo came back, gutted the X Division and stunk up the show with bad booking, so 2007 and 2008 are considered atrocities for the most part. Wasn't Joe vs Angle in the 2005/06 bracket isn't that still the highest PPV buy TNA have done?

Would Rhodes and Ted vs DX count or I guess it was the Jericho/show tag team in 09? 10? Which was maybe the last time apart from the brief period last summer where the tag titles were relevant.

He tore a muscle in his arm once during the era where hogan was about it was a week or so after his kaneinties while mimicking hogans mannerisms promo. But I don't have a time frame on that it might have been the time he returned to stop the unamericans burning the flag.

He probably knew he'd be the fourth wheel and it was better for him to stay away from it. Plus it wasn't anything special to be in the nWo by 98 as about half the roster was in it eventually.

He probably has been a dick to fans as he is human and Im sure those fans were harassing him when he was just trying to do normal day to day things. He will probably be a gent in an offical meet and greet. Could just ask him who he thinks are the brightest nxt prospects.

Hidden Mother posted:What was Matt Bloom's gimmick in the Prince Albert/A-Train days? He's one of those wrestlers I remember absolutely nothing about character-wise. Prince Albert days he was a tattooist i think he may have tattoo'd a wrestler once and once only after a match. And A-Train was just big wrestle guy and nothing else. He used to hit some sweet moves on jobbers when he was on velocity/jakked/metal sometimes.

I remember renting PPV's from Blockbuster when i was about 6/7 so that would mean i started watching around 1990. I went to a house show (free tickets through a friend) in 1994. Wasn't great looking back but I got to see Bret hart and Hakushi have a very good match. Main Event was Karma vs Undertaker. So it might have been 1995? It was after the urn had been melted and Karma was wearing it as a chain. I got regualr access to WWE in 1998 (as in i got sky tv) and here we are now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8H0DJRGNMs wwe also had a team called the dicks although i think they were just meant to be chipendale rip offs. Lance storm had a huge dick gimmick for a week when he was changing gimmicks also about every week. Basically stuff like this is what your parents/friends who hate wrestling walk in on.
