OrangeCrush posted:why was kurt angle so upset? As others mentioned, it was a staged fight but Puder decided to do what he wanted, rather than go with what was scripted. Angle was super pissed because the kid refused to follow instruction and decided to be a smartass instead (I'm guessing as a way to try to get himself over). Stupid move overall, because if you can't listen and do what you're told, bad things happen and people get legit hurt, or matches turn into botchfests. To contribute - the good ol' days in '97, when Austin was just getting super over and the Hart Foundation reunited (Bulldog, Owen, Bret, and Pillman). This is part 2 of a show I actually attended here in Omaha, NE at the Civic Auditorium (8th row floor seats, wish I could find pics I have of all the wrestlers that we saw since we sat right near the aisle where a lot of them made their getaways) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN4FYVASg5s (all parts are linked in the sidebar to this one) E: part 5 aka "Who wants to see a wheelchair match?!?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AZfisYg0zk BOOTY-ADE fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Feb 3, 2011 |

OrangeCrush posted:ahh, wicked. I checked it out, apparently it was a few months after the Pillman incident - Austin broke into Pillman's house in November '96 during a Raw show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uiKQW0ply0&NR=1 The show I was at happened in April '97 but it was still an ongoing storyline, I think that was a big reason Pillman aligned himself with the Hart Foundation, so he'd have some backup. Still one of the best WWF shows I'd been to at the time, that place was jammed and loving loud when they popped for Austin. BOOTY-ADE fucked around with this message at 09:25 on Feb 4, 2011 |

Writer Cath posted:Miz managed to put over Ryder, be entertaining and subtly put down John Cena all in twenty seconds. He seems to be one of these guys who can put on a really good, sedate interview or crank up the energy level and get a crowd completely riled up. That's what I love about Miz, he can talk and put guys over - same with Cena, even though his SuperCena gimmick is played out, behind the scenes he's genuinely trying to put guys over and cares about the other talent. I agree that HHH could have done more, I get that maybe he's joking about Zack and the "four fans" but still, he didn't seem genuine when he said that hopefully guys like Zack would be the future...sounded too forced to me.

RandolphCarter posted:The only time I saw him cry during RAW is Owen. Not sure, but you'll notice he starts to get really emotional during his talk about his weight loss. My guess would be when he was heavier, maybe he had health complications? One of those "lose weight and get healthy or die" situations? It's like he's reflecting back on bad news he got or something.

Lone Rogue posted:I can't think of a way that Cena can turn heel and it'll keep the older fans from cheering him other than going after the Attitude Era and killing off sacred cows. Cena cheats to win, turns his back on his fans, resents them for still liking Rock after he was gone for almost a decade. Maybe does the spiel of "I did what I could to be a good role model, and I got treated like garbage for it" (not verbatim but something along those lines, e.g. fans don't have faith in me, why should I care about them?) Two birds, one stone - Rock gets beat, that sort of covers the "burial" and disrespect of Attitude Era WWE. Cena gets nuclear heat, and even though he goes over and wins, people hate him because he not only beat the Rock, but for all the trash talk beforehand and the cheating to win. I honestly think WWE might be stepping in that direction, and a year is quite a while away when you look at it - watch the RAW right before WM27 when Cena AA's Rock, and the crowd reaction, along with how Cena acts. Reminded me of his early rapper heel gimmick, actually.

Since there was no description and people don't normally click on those: Macho Man is on a talk show (Arsenio Hall) in full Macho Madness mode giving an interview while sitting on the couch wearing winged eagle. Awesome. Savage's comments in the interview are hilarious and he plays off Arsenio really well. I'll never get tired of seeing that Arsenio clip, Macho was just hilarious and awesome all-around  MM: "Vanity? Never heard of her." AH: "You the only one..." Crowd:  OOOOOOOOooooOOOOooooOOooooOOooo "IT WAS A JOKE! HE SAID IT WAS A JOKE!" I still love that BOTH times, Macho Man was the WWF champ  ON TOP OF THE WORLD! CREAM OF THE CROP!

Perry Normal posted:I think I remember reading that the procedure that Show had done didn't exist yet when Andre was young enough to have it. Wouldn't doubt that, it's a really risky surgery - if it's the same as what Show had, it was a small tumor growing and pressing against the pituitary gland, causing him to keep growing and growing. Thankfully he had the surgery to get it removed early on, or he'd probably be having the same trouble now that Andre did near the end of his career.

The Duck of Death posted:What? Still amazes me that someone Brock's size could pull off a move like that, when normally it was the smaller guys that did it. Made that much more impact knowing that it's a 300+ pound guy coming off the rope, rather than someone under 200 doing it. Too bad he messed up the one at WM against Angle for the title and almost broke his neck though, I wanted to see him beat Angle with that SSP.

Oatgan posted:I believe he did that earlier this year with New Nexus. Well, I was thinking more of a future deal - like when Punk decides to stop actively wrestling, like Heenan did. Sure, Brain still took bumps once in a while but for the most part, he was a manager/broadcast journalist during his WWF tenure. Punk did well with Nexus and sort of with SES but I'd rather see it toned down a bit, where he can speak for guys that aren't comfortable on the mic, and strictly take on a management role with a variety of guys. He's definitely got a quick wit and knows how to say and do things when it comes to promos and putting guys over.

Bocc Kob posted:Regal will always be king. Even if he did have to reduce himself to mostly smacking the guy around, it's cool he still gets to do matches once in a while. He seems like a genuinely good guy (provided you don't piss him off, but that can go for anyone) and he never seems to have issue helping guys and putting them over. I remember seeing one of the recent NXT shows where Bryan Danielson was wrestling and Regal was on commentary, and Bryan used the Regal Stretch as his finisher and gave a nod to Regal after the match. First thing I thought was "if Bryan goes heel, they should have Regal be his manager, it would make so much sense with their history". I honestly hope it happens and we get Regal and Danielson being badass heels on the mic and just tearing people apart with brutal submissions.

How ironic, the old has-been who built his stardom off 4 moves, lovely mobility and a gimmick people got sick of, talking about young guys being terrible. Last I checked, CM Punk isn't shilling for Rent-A-Center because of a gold digging wife who left him for someone less than half his age, and being part of what amounts to a phenomenal failure of a "wrestling" company.

He really was, makes me wish they'd done like Taker with him, especially chair shots - but even with the Hardy feud, he took a couple shots right to the loving face and still landed on his feet when he left the ring. That, to me, was what sold him as "holy poo poo, this dude is a goddamn freak"
