CombineThresher posted:Before or after Dusty? Because if she left Dibiase for the American Dream, my point still stands. And would also explain why DiBiase hates Rhodes from DiBiase's guest hosting of Raw. I still say that the best thing this guest host nonsense has brought is Cody Rhodes singing "Common Man" to Ted DiBiase Snr.

Foul Fowl posted:How exactly did people realize wrestling was fake? I don't watch it and I don't live in the U.S., but I heard people thought it was real like 20 years ago. I personally figured out wrestling was fake when I saw the tag team of Steve Blackman and Ken Shamrock coming out to face the New Age Outlaws and the Outlaws didn't cry and run away.

HorseHeadBed posted:Why are wrestling fans so obsessed with TV ratings and buy-rates? I can understand the people working in the companies having an interest, but why is there this slavish attention to it from people it doesn't affect in the slightest? Because the show with the higher ratings will be seen to be doing better. We want WWE to be forced to recognise Smackdown as the better show so their lovely Raw booking will go away.

It seems like a toss-up between him and Christian for the title of 'nicest guy in wrestling'. The only bad thing I've heard anyone say about Owen is that he dicussed doing the reverse-piledriver with Austin before the match, Austin refused but Owen did it anyway.

WeaselWeaz posted:Edge got the push of his life because he is one of the best wrestelers and promos in the business today and hs more charisma than Matt will ever have. Even Matt has to recognize that. If this ready-made angle hadn't dropped in the writers' laps it just would have taken longer for something to get booked. If it was anyone else with the same kind of talent, I'd agree. But this was Edge. The guy who at the time was the definition of 'failed push' (definition has since been filled by Mr. Kennedy). They'd been pushing him since 2002 and gotten nowhere. The Lita angle probably saved Edge's career.

Chunky Delight posted:To be honest it was signing Christian that made me watch TNA and I stopped caring about TNA after he left. Same here. This wasn't a guy who was way past his prime like Sting. Or a guy who had known physical problems like Angle. This was a guy who was doing the best stuff of his career. A person who the fans were SCREAMING to get a main event program and WWE just wouldn't listen. His jumping ship to TNA actually made TNA look like a competing promotion rather than just a retirement home/glorified indie.

dusty udder smoker posted:wrestling question: why the gently caress does jericho not have a 3 disc set yet Related question: Why don't WWE do DVD sets of storylines rather than wrestlers? Surely it would make more sense to do it that way. People would be very inclined to rush out and buy a 2/3-disc DVD set of the McMahon-Helmsley Facgime. Or Raven Vs. Dreamer. Then again, it would make a lot of sense to release all entrance themes via iTunes than simply release a compilation CD every year too.

WeaselWeaz posted:Linking the four part worked-shoot that was how you do the idea properly. This is required viewing for everyone, especially the WWE writers. I would say it's probably the greatest set of promos ever, at least some of the best moments from the Attitude era. I noticed that they got footage from FMW and ECW in there to show Foley's past. Why don't they do that anymore? Having some footage of Danielson or (when they were originally hyping him) Punk would do wonders to build them up when you're touting them as having wrestled all over.

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. Masato Tanaka used it and it was called the Diamond Dust.

sportsgenius86 posted:I don't know if the upper midcard is as good as it's ever been but it's BY FAR the deepest quality midcard they've ever had. Not bad considering that just over a year ago, people on this board (myself included) were beginning to panic about whether or not WWE had any future main-eventers on their roster considering the increasing age of their current stars. The young guys (for the most part) aren't ready yet but they'll be ready in time for the old-guy's retirement. And that's what's important.

CoronaLargesse posted:Uhm, Morrison and Mysterio proceeded to put on a MOTYC soooo what's the problem? The problem is that it helped no-one. People forget that Morrison was on the verge of the main event. He was 2-1 up against World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk. He had a complete barnburner of a World Title match with Jeff in which he became the only person I can recall who isn't called HHH to kick out of the Swanton Bomb. He was crazy over as well. Giving him the IC belt and having him feud with Ziggler killed his push and he never recovered.

Jerusalem posted:A little late maybe, but the only way to get the vast majority of fans to boo Chris Hero (or any other heel in ROH) is to turn them face so that the fans think it's expected that they cheer for him, which will make them boo him to prove they're not marks. Dammit! How come a single thread in TVIV gets a gang tag and yet WH2K gets passed over? I want my "THE GAY COMMUNITY?!" gang-tag. Also, apart from the fact that they never come to the UK, this is why I'm hesitant to go to an ROH show. The fans are just a bunch of contrarian cunts. And not the good kind like Chilly or Banjo.

Kerck Pnameless posted:Informal Poll: Was Jericho's best material during his heel run in WCW? He called Stephanie McMahon a gigantic whore in the Attitude Era, apparently did a whole lot of nothing from '02-'05 and at the peak of his current heel run, has been incredibly entertaining in a much different way. It's just, I notice that when people talk about how awesome Jericho is, they usually say ARMBAR or talk about conspiracies or quote anything else he said in that one year on the TV shows of a long-dead wrestling company. I'd agree with Jericho himself when I say that his current stuff is the best work of his career. The character hasn't been as amazing as it was during the HBK feud but it's still excellent.
