Gavok posted:He also used a bunch of them in Chikara for a time. Back in 2015 he was hyping yet another BS retirement tour. When the 2016 season started, he was pretty much told, "No, you said you were retiring. You gave up the rights to the Chuck Taylor name. Somebody else already picked it up." So Stokely Hathaway made his debut in Chikara as R&B singer Chuck Taylor TM while the original had to start calling himself other names. Then Chuck and Dustin were a tag team for a while

Jarrett is a much much better wrestler, and I agree JJ ain't all that good, he's thoroughly average at best But James is the worst wrestler I've ever seen who didn't have being green or being immobile due to size like Khali as an excuse

So was Paul Roma really as bad people claim? I know a lot of it stems from not fitting in with the Horsemen, but putting Sid in there was loving stupid, too (in the sense that he didn't need them). Incidentally the story of what happened with Roma on the Horsemen DVD WWE made is pretty funny, in an insanely petty sort of way: apparently, The Horsemen actually were complimentary initially, then were told Roma poo poo talked them, and they re-filmed the scenes with AA and Flair burying him.

Randaconda posted:Paul was a terrible Horseman, but he was an alright low midcarder, I guess. Grain of salt because I don't remember the source, but there was supposedly an angle in the works shortly before Austin got buried after Hogan showed up, where Steve was supposed to be Flair's illegitimate son. I think it was supposed to be a Flair vs Austin feud beginning, though, not with Steve joining the crew. Greg Valentine also claims he was offered to be a Horseman, which actually sorta makes sense considering how close Flair and him are and how close Flair was to Greg's dad Johnny.

LividLiquid posted:Hogan constantly pushing his buddies wouldn't have been so bad if his buddies were actual good wrestlers or performers in any way whatsoever, but the people who get de-pushed in favor of them were mostly all time greats, which makes it that much worse. I don't hate Jim Duggan but Austin jobbing a belt to him is a loving crime, especially since Duggan was loving cooked at that point

I know there was a small feud between him and Foley but they've since buried that hatchet. He refused to drop the world strap to Luger at one point, I believe

BENGHAZI 2 posted:What is the worst match, in hindsight, to get five stars from Big Dave Raven and Stevie vs the Pitbulls It's a great bit of booking because it ties a ton of storylines together really cohesively but the match itself is sloppy as gently caress, although it's not bad, but it sure ain't 5 stars Conversely, Dave hosed up by not giving Danielson vs Morishima in a Fight Without Honor 5, IMO I also think Guerrero vs Lesnar should have gotten 5

Randaconda posted:4 3/4 I just don't see how it isn't 5, unless Goldberg's run in bothers Dave that much. Its REALLY well played out, has a compelling story, Brock takes 2 crazy bumps considering he was still around 300 lbs at the time, and the right guy went over. If you were just correcting me, I know Dave didn't give it 5. Hence my complaint.

Aesop Poprock posted:I think he just got lumped into being a weak comedic heel for too long and nobody was really interested in him when he tried to turn serious much later on. His best roles were easily Ravens lackey in ECW and the leader of RTC and outside of that he didn’t really have much character to support him He also had a bad habit of getting hurt at bad times. Paul was supposedly going to put the ECW title on Stevie, then Stevie broke his neck....and signed with WCW for money reasons when he got healthy.....then got fired by WCW after he got re-injured. Then WWECW was gonna push him as an underdog face and he got hurt again. I've always had a soft spot for him, does chickenshit heel really well, good promo, throws a hell of a superkick and used to be a GREAT bumper.

TriffTshngo posted:will chuck taylor ever get the chance to scream at children in aew, i hope so One of the best things I've ever seen at wrestling show was little kids throwing a bag of popcorn at Chase Owens, and Chase Owens selling for it like it was simultaneously the worst indignity he'd ever suffered, and also, like it was a stiff forearm or something. One of the reasons I always stick up for him, because I think stuff like that demonstrates that Chase understands that you can get over big by showing rear end and making people want to hate you rather than being a cool heel, but at the same time you don't need to pull a Rockin' Rebel and get cheap heat through racism

Hellblazer187 posted:I have no idea if this is legitimately true, but I've heard and seen in comic books that if you put a roll of coins in your hand it's almost like a brass knuckle effect if you punch someone. Has anyone in wrestling used that as a spot? It seems like it could be similar to a brass knucks spot, but then you could gimmick the roll of quarters to make coins spray everywhere and have a bigger visual. Socks full of quarters have been used (most recently for a great visual with Corino braining BJ Whitmer) but I don't think what you've described has

The leg drop THROUGH a ladder. The side effect off a stage through a table. The ladder spear which was probably murder for both Edge AND Jeff Hardy. The nutty bumps in that NO DQ match with Eddie Guerrero. Someone with time should make a thread about all the hosed up things Hogan has done and said. Like an individual NY 64.
