bobkatt013 posted:Scott Hall quoted Scarface and Vince thought it was genius since he never heard about those moving pictures. Also Crow Sting was pretty bad and pretty blatantly stolen. Sting just loves to steal from movies where the actors died. Stings next gimmick is going to be a director who loves to have kids and actors film scenes late night with helicopters. Jesus Christ. Didn't expect to see a Vic Morrow joke anywhere.

Sounds like the announcer is saying something "Giant" and it also looks like the Giant was on that card, so maybe they gave him Andre's old theme?

I want there to have been a stable of Scott Steiner, Scott Hall, and Scott Norton, who only ever referred to each other as "Scott" and knew immediately every time who was being addressed.

I wouldn't be surprised if those were rented, as those types of birds don't do well with traveling. Yeah, he only had one bird (Frankie) that, iirc, was actually his pet before the gimmick. Sadly, Frankie died in a house fire back in like 2000.

Y'know, for how much of a hilarious clusterfuck the first Battle Bowl was, I think it had some "booking" decisions that could be fun in a modern context. Random hosses and flippadoos, cartoon characters with hardasses, tag team vs. tag team, two guys engaged in a violent blood feud against each other, etc. Maybe adding a second round could even help the little mini-angles progress even further. Not as (conceptually) fun, honestly, because homogenization, but I'd love to see something like the Lethal Lottery format return. Just as long as they don't book the entire drat ppv as strange and cramped as WCW did. Seriously, Starrcade 1992 has the battlebowl tournament, then half of the battlebowl winners competing in separate matches unrelated to the tournament, THEN the battlebowl 8-man over-the-top-rope battle royale. Sting, Vader, Muta, Barry Windham, and Dr. Death all wrestled three matches on the card, and it wasn't a proper tournament. But I guess I shouldn't complain, because man there was a lot of great stuff to watch. Even the battle royale didn't suck. It was just weird to have a brutal, hard-fought match that left Sting and Vader both barely able to stand, then immediately hyping into the battle royale to blow off the night, putting Sting and Vader in another fight right off the bat.

The lethal lotteries were actually great because you ended up with insane odd couple pairings (Jushin Liger and useless strongman Bill Kazmaier), friend vs. Friend (Jimmy Jam and PS of the Freebirds on opposite sides) and really nuts poo poo like guys currently feuding (Sting and iirc Abdullah). It was interesting and exciting and lead to some refreshing mixups and cool solutions. Also the matches themselves were largely hideous garbage. This is what happens when El Gigante, Van Hammer, 90s Freebirds, and young pre-buff Bagwell are all in the draw. To say nothing of running out of time and having round 2 be a battle royale.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Thing is, you could still gimmick something like the Lethal Lottery and still end up with all that crazy poo poo. At least so you can make sure they can all work together or at least plan something out ahead of time. I honestly think the Lethal Lottery was a brilliant idea that really could work with some tweaking. Two guys feuding that are paired together and it leads to them losing. Or that they find some mutual respect for one another and become an antagonistic tag team. It could also be used as a way to start the split of a long-running tag team by having them on opposing teams. Etc, etc Yeah, but randomness (or, I guess, an admirable attempt at faking it) means that you can't just rely on the same cliches over and over again. The second one definitely felt a lot more predictable than the first one, iirc

Searching out clips of his backflip slam and seeing how many (of an already small sample size) end with Scotty spiking himself on the skull is a pretty good indicator of why you didn't see it more often

I think Don Frye's telling of this involved Miller talking about how there was nobody in MMA who did karate, so nobody in MMA would have any idea how to handle a karateka "lol" sums my response and probably Frye's.

MrBling posted:cagematch records says that he had two matches in New Japan in 1991. I guess that is a kind of experience. They're both "different style fights," though, which means he probably did a lot of sloppy punching and not a lot of wrestling. Still, I guess all you need to put on your resume is "worked a match with Shinya Hashimoto"
