jeffersonlives posted:And this is a bad thing how exactly? You should want the fans to have to buy the PPV to see the important stuff, if your primary goal is to sell PPVs. If you want to start giving important stuff away for free, you can't run monthly PPVs because there just isn't that much to go around. Because if the fans think nothing ever happens on TV, then they might stop watching TV. And if you're using TV to build up PPVs, and everyone stops watching the build, then who is going to buy the PPV? You have to have important stuff happen for free now and again so that when it blows peoples' minds, they will think, "Wow, that (important thing) they showed on TV was great. I should start buying the PPVs so I can see more stuff like that."

It's irritating when it's a referee that we've seen for years, like Mike Chioda or Charles Robinson, and JR or whoever calls him "the referee." Come on man, I know you know his name!

Nobody mentioned it but Vince saying "nigga" and the HHH/Booker feud were not related and in fact happened years apart from each other. HHH/Booker was 2003 and Vince saying my nigga was 2005.

From what I read, Alberta still digs Bret, if you have been to an Atlantic Canadian show recently there was a massive "Bret" chant when DX was mentioned(for skipping out on the show, none the less). Bret was at ROH in July and the place went absolutely nut for him.

Davros1 posted:The whole "Jarrett holding Vince up" was because Jarrett was leaving, and he wanted his PPV payoff after that night, instead of six months later when everybody else would receive theirs. Didn't he make Vince give him $150,000 just for that night, though? Or was that the normal PPV payoff in those days?

George Kaplan posted:I vaguely remember Christopher Daniels appearing in one of the first giant clusterfuck matches they had when they brought in the Light Heavyweight title. Is there any reason he's never been tapped for OVW? Or AJ Styles, for that matter? He seems pretty decent and reliable, and I don't imagine the TNA paycheck is keeping them there. WWE probably won't ever hire Daniels since he's 38 now, but I don't know why they didn't bring him in years ago when they still had a belt for small guys.

Trollologist posted:How does one go about getting involved in the creative side of wrestling (i.e. writing and gimmicks and the like)? Do you apply to work for local indies and work your way up or what? As evale mentioned, Lance Storm just did a blog about this. He pointed out that there are literally hundreds or thousands of wrestling fans who are interested in the writing side of the business, but being a fan of something does not mean you're capable of working in the industry. He suggests going to school for writing and then try to get in somewhere after you graduate/get some writing experience (even if it isn't in wrestling writing)

There's no real thread for this so I'm putting it here - Classic Wrestling on Bite TV (Canada) is awesome, and if you get the channel you should check it out. They show lots of Memphis stuff but right now they're doing an episode on "crazy" wrestlers, footage mostly from St. Louis. So far I've seen Terry Funk, Dick Murdoch, and Dick the Bruiser, and they said Brody is going to be on later. This poo poo rules.

Marcade posted:Bear with me trying to describe this move. In the N64 WWF games (No Mercy, I think?) there was a move in the CAW that involved the attacker sitting on the turnbuckle with his opponent standing in front of him with his back to him. The attacker would then basically flip over the opponent and perform a diamond cutter/RKO on him (I think it was called the diamond crush or something similar). My question is, does anyone actually use that move? From what I remember it looking like in the game, it doesn't appear to be something one could do safely. Ziggy Tsardust posted:Masato Tanaka used it and it was called the Diamond Dust. Bingo. Here's a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1haV-EAp0s Orgophlax posted:EDIT: Also, wikipedia says that the Million Dollar Dream was a cobra clutch.

The first Buried Alive match from In Your House 11 was pretty overbooked, too. Beyond the outrageous nature of the match, I remember a bunch of heels ran out to bury Taker... HHH, JBL (who was Justin Hawk Bradshaw then), Goldust, Crush I think, maybe some more too.

Captain Hats posted:I'm a bit of a wrestling virgin. If i'm being honest, a LOT of a wrestling virgin. But I saw this weeks Raw at a mate's house, and it got me curious. I'm interested and would like to know more about wrestling, but you guys throw about terms that are way over my head and talk about events and matches that happened years ago and I'm left a bit out in the cold. I found the glossary in here, but are there any matches or events that I absolutely MUST see, any wrestlers I should be especially aware of... Did you ever watch as a kid, or is it all fresh to you? I ask because a lot of the comparisons we make (like "TNA is the new WCW") will mean nothing to somebody who didn't grow up with at least a cursory knowledge of what WCW was.
