Deadpool posted:Here's one of the many reasons why people that made it through the territory days are better than the newcomers today. They had to deal with bad asses like Bob Roop. Honestly, sadistic assholes like Roop scared away more potential talent than they ever broke in. Wrestlers from the territory days were good because they had multiple places to get steady work and learn, not because bitter ex-Olympians liked to beat up potential trainees.

apsouthern posted:Why Should I Watch A Interview With Buck Zumhofe? Colt Cabana worked a show in the Midwest with Buck, who almost walked out without even wrestling because the promoter didn't give him a gimmick table. Buck also sells "Piledriver Peanuts," aka peanuts in ziplock baggies. He is truly the carniest of men.

Skinty McEdger posted:The concept is that the rappers will each choose a wrestler to represent them in matches and that the crowds will get behind the rapper that they like as opposed to the wrestlers (who will be pretty much nobodies/change on a show to show basis). If this is the case, it's worth noting that Sir William Black lives in Brooklyn.

Paul Heyman on the MMA hour, talking about his friendship with Brock, the similarities between pro wrestling and MMA, offers from TNA, and how weird/insane Vince McMahon is. Paul also trolls the hell out of the idiots who call in to ask stupid questions. Dude may be a crook, but he's slicker than jizz on a gold tooth. http://video.aol.com/video/mma-hour-episode-no-46/3951944919

TomWaitsForNoMan posted:Who's DJ Hyde? I thought Zandig booked CZW Nope, DJ Hyde is running CZW now, for all intents and purposes. He's a big fat douche who can't wrestle and really thinks that CZW can be taken seriously. Which is insane, because half the time their fans ignore the worthless backyarders in the ring and just try to get themselves over with chants and air horns. That they legitimately responded to the Osirian Portal is huge.

All the comments are saying it's stupid garbage wretsling spotmonkey poo poo, but if you take a look, they do everything they can to make it as safe as possible. The biggest risk is the tailbone of the guy delivering the move. He cradles the other dude's head, and makes sure his neck doesn't take the impact. "Safe" or not, they're both idiots for jumping off a scaffold in front of maybe 10 people.

Mr. Carlisle posted:He then launches into the bullshit about having alot of young guys in the company and yadda yadda. It was a dick move when Cena and Miz put him over huge and Triple H tried the verbal burial approach. HHH has been stuck in that Nash/Hall buddy system approach to wrestling for years, so it's not surprising that he would bury someone who wasn't a friend of his. He barely even performs in the ring unless he's working with Shawn.

Suben posted:Anyway, a little background I guess. 19 Pro is a sub-brand of Ice Ribbon that exclusively airs their shows live on ustream a few times a week at 7 PM JST (hence the name); they usually keep each show up for a short time after it airs as well although they're not archived. Japan is reaching the point where every wrestling match takes place in its own separate promotion.

I can't speak for the non-American Wrestlehutters, but it's part of the American psyche to assume that bajillion-dollar companies aren't incompetent or horribly mismanaged, no matter how obvious it is.

Korak posted:There's a lot of people that attend local shows that don't know anything about his situation and would just be super happy to see him in person. So they buy a couple of tickets and bring their family to get out of the house for a few hours. Guys like Hall and Jake Roberts need to get out of wrestling and stay out if they ever want to get clean - the road is a horrible place for people trying to clean up. Sadly, I don't think either man has enough options left to tear themselves away.

DMPunk posted:The best part of that Shea Stadium show commentary was at the end when Cole asked Foley if he ever worked out. Foley got all upset and felt insulted. For me, the best part was when Foley asked Cole why he never talks about his journalism background and Cole just flat-out says "because nobody cares." The whole thing is funny, though. Cole is surprisingly good without Vince or Kevin Dunn screaming in his ear, and I remember him and Taz doing pretty well on the Benoit DVDs when they were just allowed to be themselves.

Ozz81 posted: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. It really is amazing that Andre lived as long as he did, given the medical options available for the condition he had when he was young.

Some of those images from the video are shocking, how did they get on a single television station? Not to mention that the presentation makes SMW look as hokey and low-rent as NWA: MS. I love Cornette and all, but boy does this not age well.

Gonzo McFee posted:Everything Mick Foley does cements his place to me as greatest man to ever be involved in wrestling, gently caress off with your "Hardcore diary sucks" talk. The man is great and when you've entertained as many people and done as much charity work as he has he can write all the books about what a pimp he is with the Divas all he wants. I was just coming in to post this. Foley can be goony from time to time, but he's shown on numerous occasions that he has a good heart. He's certainly not the kind of carny scumbag we've come to expect from pro graps.
