I really, really, really, really hope somebody takes notice of this. And not in the way that would get Zack fired.

Old Man Zbyszko rants about Jericho for nearly fifteen minutes.

* Says Chris Jericho is 5 foot 6

So that's why Jericho mentioned Last Call with Scott Hall on his Twitter.

Also, Larry's not too far off on the height. I ran into him after a show once and he was only an inch or two taller than me (5'6"), tops.

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.

The other issue is that he implied that there's no room for those guys on TV or in semi-prominent roles until after the big names have cleared out. How are we supposed to care about new guys or buy them as main eventers if they don't interact with other main eventers? I guess it goes back to his ridiculous "no one ever got over by beating established guys" philosophy.

I think I karaoke-d there when I visited Philly, though it might just be wishful thinking. Seedy bars tend to blend together after awhile. Nevertheless, it is now my mission to attend KoT and sing karaoke with the wrestlers afterward.

I posted in the general discussion but I totally concur. Oddly I can't watch the big video on WWE.com or Youtube (even with Modify Headers on), but I can watch the small one in the sidebar on WWE.com. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense really.

Is this the biggest tag match in WWF/E history?

Rockers & Hart Foundation & Powers of Pain & Bulldogs & Young Stallions vs. Demolition & Conquistadors & Rougeaus & Russians & Brainbusters. Parts 2 & 3 are in the related videos - it looks like about 45 minutes, so make sure you have time to spare before watching.

I'm only 1/3 through so far, but it's been a fun match in spite of the awkwardness of people having to move whenever anyone runs the ropes. I'm also impressed that Roma could jump right to the top rope!

Oh also, I don't know why the spoilers said he came out with Epico because that dude is clearly not Epico and looks absolutely nothing like him. Maybe it's Hijo del Medico Asesino who they've had signed for a while but hasn't even been in developmental or something since he's the only other hispanic dude they have that's not Averno and that guy's way bigger than Averno. He's obviously supposed to be more than some local guy.

Yeah, it's funny how they had a Hispanic "gang"-type stable, then immediately split them apart only to form two Hispanic duos. Driving your partner out on a bicycle built for two isn't exactly the best way to introduce someone who is (apparently) meant to look like a badass, but I guess it's better than a lawnmower.

JBL is full of crap, but I can't form the words to explain it properly. :mad:

The story structure of wrestling shows have to be open because they have to be able to come back next week or month or whatever. You have to have pay-offs or climaxes to keep the audience interested in continuing to watch. Other stories that start at a certain point and stop at a certain point are self-contained, they can hint at or tease things that are never fully explained and it can build up in your mind because that's all there is. You'll be interested after you've seen it because you can go back and think about it some more. I need to read a book on literature or something. :argh:

Is that from this Superstars? Because I'm pretty sure that hiptoss is a hiptoss into a neckbreaker move, and not a botch. That drop kick is totally a botch though because it looks like Drew thought he was going to leap frog him, then drop kick.

Yeah, the first one I could buy as hip toss/neckbreaker, it just seemed awkward. I'm not sure if Drew wasn't expecting it or what. The dropkick was awful though.
