This is probably just a result of the early days of the Internet explosion. I did a lot of DBZ web searching at the same time and it was filled with the same made up garbage. I remember someone doing a recap of an episode, translated by themselves from the original Japanese, where Goku yelled out "FUUUUUUUUUUCK" as Namek exploded.

Turns out it wasn't nearly as cool as that.

What exactly makes a squash match? Is the pre-bell ring time counted? I once watched a match where the heel beat the face down for 15 minutes before the match bell, then it was over in 15 seconds. Is that still counted?

In light of that, what are the highest-rated squash matches of all time according to Big Dave?

I think Brock's 2014 squash of Cena got four stars. Cena had two brief hope spots, but otherwise got destroyed for like 15 minutes.

Big Show was always usually good, it's just that being both as big and as good as he was meant WWE treated him as if his credibility was untouchable. It was not.

I vaguely recall him lamenting that on Austin's podcast, that he was treated as a joke far too often, instead of like a, well, enormous loving man who should have been a huge threat at all times.

He also shared a story about the WCW main eventers ribbing him when he became champion, until Sting clued him in. Big Show owns.

I loved Here Comes The Pain, but also I think the last wrestling game I actually played was Smackdown vs. Raw 2006.

I liked the one right before that, Shut Your Mouth. IIRC, HCTP was when they started to a veer bit more toward making the gameplay slightly more realistic and slower paced, whereas in SYM you can cheese it so that you're using all of your biggest moves (minus finisher) and putting people through tables within seconds of starting the match, and nobody's weight mattered, so anybody could lift The Big Show, even though IRL nobody can lift The Big Show (he's too big).

Random question:

What is the difference between RVD's Five Star Frog Splash and a regular one? I seem to remember he always clutched at his stomach or something after doing it too, at least in the video games so I guess it even hurts him more?

RVD at least pinned people with his "I HATE MYSELF" move. Benoit just hurt himself all the time and then died.

Yup.

The clip I'd saved has been deleted, but PAC (fka Neville) snapped his poo poo doing a baseball slide against Jericho. Jericho improvised and rolled him up, but the ref didn't seem to realize what was happening and only counted two. Jericho very audibly yelled "he's hurt, HE'S HURT" and shoved the ref, who then called for a DQ.

Billy and Chuck's wedding is a truly bizarre segment, I'm pretty sure 3 minute warning was involved and they also were involved in a lesbian bashing angle that's nonsensical and gross.

Yeah, that happened. It was part of this exceptionally lovely angle where Bischoff walked up to (IIRC) Trish Stratus and Lita and told them that nobody cares about women's wrestling, and that the real money was in "hot lesbian action." He later sent out some women to make out in front of the crowd, then got bored and sent out 3 Minute Warning to beat them up.

Also, at one point Bischoff tried to win Vince McMahon over by bringing out some "bisexual lesbians" to bang him.

32 camera cuts in 34 seconds. And the cuts slow down a bit at the end when some loser fuckface nerd enters the ring, so there are points earlier where the camera cuts multiple times per second.

The 2013 Bryan/Cena ending was awesome because the camera crew didn't do anything when Bryan hit his finisher (didn't he debut it that night? They probably just didn't know it was coming). You had a wide shot of the ring, and Bryan just kneed Cena in the loving head and Cena went out cold. No impact zoom, no smash cut; it ruled.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oR_1WBmkHM&t=1610s

So of course, every time Bryan's ever hit the knee again they've done the smash cut and impact zoom.

Anyway to ask a pro wrestling question with a KMFDM theme, which would be your pick if you had to choose a KMFDM track as an entrance theme. I think DIY would be cool because you could either use the super bombastic intro or just skip straight to the beat depending on what you need. The lyrics don’t really work obviously but whatever

DIY would be good poo poo, yeah. When I was a teenager, I'd use Sound Forge to chop songs into pro wrestling entrance versions. My favorites for KMFDM were Flesh and Money.

Was Rock already doing some movies at that point or no? Even if he wasn't doing the gimmick, maybe there was some resentment there.

I remember watching the PPV and we were all rooting for Brock, probably largely due to the fact that he was a new guy who loving ruled. It was time for something new and the fans wanted it.

Yeah, it was a combination of The Rock clearly being on his way out to act full-time, and everybody being ready for Brock to just murder everybody. He came off 100% legit like a guy who was too good to ever lose.

Man, that match was so much loving fun. You can see in the first 10 seconds why people were so excited for Brock as champ. Rock runs in, starts throwing punches, and Brock just grabs him and throws him into space.
