So, nowadays WWE tends to tape a lot of shows at once, to the point of exhaustion for some crowds. Was it always like that, especially in the Attitude era? Sunday Night Heat was live before any PPVs but what about Sundays when there wasn't a PPV? Same for Thunder, was it big enough for its own show or did they tape it before/after something?

God that schedule must have sucked for the crew. Spend hours after a late taping to take everything down, drive it to the next show, and put everything up again. And then the refs still have to work some matches!

I watched this with sound off at first and assumed someone had slowed the video down for effect. I guess grabbing someone's arm, putting your foot on their neck, and pulling hard would hurt. If you put any effort into it at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svcPwf_A6jk Edit: Is that loving Lawler at 1:41 or just another lookalike?

Has Flair ever refused to work with someone, or put them over? I know there was a small feud between him and Foley but they've since buried that hatchet. After a match in TNA that should never have happened.

Probably fifteen years ago or whenever that cheer squad was around, my friend that still watched always told me about them, then later pointed out Ziggler, who used to be in the squad. Spirit Squad? Anyway that was a million years ago and gently caress I feel old.

Mae Young wrestled in some ridiculous number of decades; not the most matches ever but every decade since like the 40s or something? Also was Mae Young a gigantic piece of poo poo like Moolah? I've forgotten because there are so many of them in wrestling.

Aesop Poprock posted:Wrestling speculation was never as rampant and unsourced yet still passed around as a possibility as in the late 90s-early 2000s. One dude on a forum would post some nonsense theory of his as fact and it would somehow spread everywhere and be accepted as gospel 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.

Austin and Jericho in the ring after the show goes off the air. Austin throws a beer to Jericho to tries to catch it behind his back all cool. He misses. Jericho and Austin freeze, Austin staring at Jericho, Jericho looking like a deer in headlights. Austin tosses him another beer, Jericho drops it and immediately throws a tantrum, knowing what's coming. Austin calmly walks over and does a baby toss to Jericho, who has the look of someone that knows he hosed up and is accepting the condescension but is still mad about it. Jericho drinks beer, eats Stunner. Absolute perfection.

Speaking of the Tombstone, what other moves have been around a while and are now named after a wrestler or their gimmick, instead of whatever it was originally called? Sharpshooter is one, what was the Crippler Crossface called before Benoit if anything?

Has Michael Cole ever had a "career defining" call? JR has several, especially Mankind/Taker HiaC. He's a damned good professional, shown especially when Lawler had that heart attack live on TV but I don't know if he's had anything like JR.

The Cameo posted:Stallone put him over huge in Rocky III, as well - like, yeah, Stallone is short, but they make him look legitimately half of Hulk's size and he's in one of, if not the, most memorable moments of the whole thing. This is the best match Hogan's ever had and he had to do it while carrying a green as goose poo poo worker. This Balboa guy is a bit of a mark but he's got potential.
