Minidust posted:Were the recurring jobbers on WWF Superstars mostly local workers, or was there of a handful of contracted job guys in there? Like I believe Brooklyn Brawler was with WWF full time despite performing exclusively as a jobber (correct me if I'm wrong). Barry Horowitz had a run in the late 80s where he was a jobber who would actually sometimes get wins against people even lower on the totem pole than he was (including David Sammartino and, amazingly enough, Ken Shamrock in 1988) before he left and came back for his New Generation jobber career where he got that weird mini-push from beating Candido

Schneider Heim posted:Thanks for the discussion. I had always thought the Tombstone was a Taker original. It's so iconic that they just call it that now. It's also fun to reverse-engineer what finishers actually are because I learn new poo poo like modified reverse crossbody grapplefuck or something. that's what games like TEW and EWR ostensibly are.

Schneider Heim posted:I have asked a similar question before, but what basic/weak-looking moves are deceptively injury-prone? I got surprised upon reading that the leg drop hosed Hogan's body up, and I have several other accounts from wrestlers (some have been injured by a botched hiptoss, a lock up, or even a simple stomp on a grounded opponent). baseball slide dropkicks are apparently the number 1 way to break your leg doing something that isn't all that impressive

MathMathCalculation posted:After his Goldust stuff, when he returned to WCW, was his run considered any good? I remember when he cut a promo about how he hated dressing up as something silly and then his gimmick was like a generic cowboy. It seemed pretty boring to me at the time, with the only memorable thing being that he carried around a cowbell, but at that point I was pretty done with WCW so I might be biased. i only saw a little of very late stage WCW but what little I did see, Dusty and Dustin were often the best at taking the absolute garbage that was given to them and making it entertaining

MassRafTer posted:I think it was 97/98, around the time they wanted to do a deal with All Japan. Baba wouldn't agree to the money they wanted to bring in WWF stars and told them no one knows who WWF wrestlers are in Japan. The WWF reps thought this was ridiculous because they saw Austin all over the magazines that week, since it was right after Rumble 98 and the Tyson angle. i would suggest AJPW send them Wolf Hawkfield as a joke but Wolf Hawkfield was far too important for that

Halloween Jack posted:If the Brawl for All taught us anything, it's that guys who had a reputation for being tough bar fighters and guys who'd been athletes when they were younger were not necessarily much good in a shootfight. Everyone thought Dr. Death was going to win it, then he tore his hamstring just circling around and got his clock cleaned. You never know what age and injury has done to people who haven't been competing for years. considering Bart Gunn won the actual Brawl 4 All and he had experience in Toughman Contests, for all we know the winner of the WCW Brawl 4 All would have been Hardbody Harrison with his patented Biscuit Cutter and Porkchop
