So how much do those guys make for mutilating their bodies for such small audiences ?

If Undertaker wrote an autobiography it would be bound in human flesh and inked in blood and you would have to say Clatto Verata Nicto before reading it.

Am I wrong in thinking that Jarrett was okay as an upper mid-card heel during his first WCW and second WWF run or were they lovely but compared to his second WCW run and TNA they seem down right decent in comparison ?

When I started watching WCW he was mainly used as a face jobber that was allowed to get in a few offensive moves (mostly arm drags and drop kicks) and a surprise pin attempt before getting annihilated by his opponent.

How are the Blu-Ray extras for The Wrestler ? It said on the box it featured a round table with a bunch of old wrestlers that seems interesting but I've seen the movie quite a few times and it's now on HBO. Also sorta unrelated but how is Big Fan which was written by the same guy as The Wrestler and features a dramatic role by Patton Oswalt ?

What was the wrestling logic behind why Lex Luger's torture rack was so devastating ? It doesn't look painful just kinda annoying. At least Lex's flying forearm finisher in the WWF seemed somewhat more legitimate since they always brought up that stupid steel plate in his forearm.

What was Bubba Ray's short singles run on Raw like ? I didn't have cable at the time and would see weird highlights on Smackdown of Bubba Ray fighting in main events and what appeared to be getting quite a huge fan reaction. It seemed weird and unsettling since it was out of context and I was never a Dudley Boyz fan.

Didn't Murdoch have a brief run on Smackdown ? I am not sure though. What was the deal with the Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler feud ? It felt like it went on forever and pretty much involved Jerry Lawler wanting Bret to kiss his feet and fight guys with crazy gimmicks like Doink and Issac Yankem. The whole thing just kind of fizzled out with no real payoff or point.

I love that Funeral Parlor where Jake traps Undertaker's hand in the coffin and just wails away on him. I think that it was the first time someone in "kayfabe" beat the ever loving poo poo out of 'Taker. I know he lost matches to Hogan and Warrior but this was different.

I was watching Superstars and noticed that during the JTG vs. Curt Hawkins match that the camera started to shake as the crowd got behind JTG. The same effect happened on Smackdown last night and I have seen it several times in the past. Is shaking intentional or not ?

Zack Gowen mentioned on the Art of Wrestling podcast that during his time in the WWE that he was such as rear end in a top hat that when he got legit knocked out during a match the guys in the back cheered. Does anyone know what match that is from ? I am wondering if it is from Brock Lesnar's crazy beat down because that looked brutal.

What caused MVP to go from one of the hottest superstars in the WWE to essentially a joke before he finally got future endeavored? I am not saying MVP was ever going to main event but I could of seen him as a lifelong Upper Midcarder that gets a world title reign or two as a thank you for your years of service. Sure MVP wasn't the most technical wrestler but he could put on decent to good matches on a regular basis. He was a great promo as a heel and acceptable as a face. So what happened? How is MVP doing in Japan?

I am surprised at the lack of wrestlers with gymnastic backgrounds. I think Jim Morrison is the only guy on the WWE roster with a background in gymnastics. It seems like a natural fit for prowrestling. So I guess I am asking why there hasn't been a wrestler with a Gymkata gimmick?

I remember on my local UPN affiliate that they would show a women's wrestling league on Saturday afternoons. I don't remember the names of anyone but each lady had a silly gimmick like a country girl, jungle girl, goth girl, secret agent girl, etc. The last episode I saw several years back they were plugging a PPV and were going to get Bobby Heenan to be a guest commentator. What was the name of this league? How did it go under? Did they have any wrestlers that went on to have careers in Shimmer or anywhere else? Or was it all my imagination?

I kinda liked Mark Henry's Casket Match with Undertaker. I enjoyed the triple threat match with Kane and Big Show. I also hate to admit that Mark Henry had a watchable match or two with Fatt Lardy. Granted none of these matches were anywhere close to approaching 4 Stars but I thought they were fun.

Tyma posted:My memory is terrible, but I'm thinking the Evolution storyline did it to tease a face turn at some point? I think it was an Elimination Chamber match that had both Randy Orton and HHH. It was hinted that Orton might not just lay down for HHH if they were the last two left. Moot point because the ending was Goldberg getting knocked out by Sledgie so an injured HHH could pin him.

How come no one does Atomic Drops anymore? I'll occasionally see Inverted Atomic Drops but not regular Atomic Drops. They don't look particularly dangerous and not as silly as an Airplane Spin. Here is video of Mr. Perfect selling an Atomic Drop from Hogan like death if you forgot what one was - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddCF6X0rw5c Fake Edit - I think the last guy I've seen use an Atomic Drop was Wade Barrett at a house show.

I Before E posted:Sandow is #30 and comes close to beating Ryback, creates the Thinking Man's Championship out of spite on the next night's RAW. I see Sandow as this Rumble's midcard heel that gets an early number and last for a surprisingly long amount of time until an uppercard face unceremoniously eliminates him as soon as he enters the ring.
