Can somebody explain these stories in greater detail for me?

What was the deal with Suigi planting drugs on Io Shirai and her boyfriend (??) and how was AAA involved?

What happened in the fight between TARU and Super Hate which lead to Voodoo Murders being disbanded?

What's the heat between New Japan and The Elite? Is it because the Elite all jumped ship in January? In particular there's bad blood between Kenny and Tanahashi?

Perfect time to change that, Meltzer gave JJ vs HBK at In Your House 2 ****1/2

This is probably the best WWF match of '95.

Fake edit: except for Bret/Bulldog.

Whatever happened to Hade Vansen?

I am a fan of the old British cop show, the Bill and I watched an episode first broadcast in 1999 and Hade Vansen was listed on its IMDb page. I couldn't spot him on the screen though.

That's my Hade Vansen story.

Ric Flair has as always been referred to as 16 time world champion. His video from this week had 17 time champion on it. Which of Flair's 21 reigns have WWE decided to acknowledge? And why don't they count all his reigns anyway?

Tazz and Lawler had a decent strap match although I'm biased as Raven made his debut in this match.

Speaking of Raven: I remember back when he came to WWF in 2000 there were rumours that he was going to be revealed as the mastermind behind Right To Censor and that he was also going to be part of the backstory between Undertaker and Kane. I can't find a single person who remembers either of these things being discussed.

The NXT UK/Britwres story is fascinating to me. I am a fan of the NXT UK guys getting paid and having more exposure. But they're no longer allowed to work independent dates at all anymore? Plus I'm not a massive fan of Progress and Jim Smallman is an odious man who spends far too much time talking about himself and his "comedy" career when he should be announcing a wrestling show. But then again, he's leaving Progress to work at NXT UK full time I hear.

Thinking about Seth and Fiend and how lame ot really was, I want to know some real blood feuds or rivalries that had real heat and satisfying and beliavable end?

Austin v HHH back in the day was this for me.

Fully Loaded 99: HHH wins a 1 contenders match against the Rock. Stone Cold retains the WWF title against Undertaker in a first blood match, finally ending his feud with Vince McMahon who is exiled from WWF.

Summerslam 99: after weeks of debate and chaos about who the number one contender is, Mick Foley wins the WWF title in a triple threat match also featuring HHH and Austin.

Raw: the night after Summerslam, HHH pins Foley to win his first world title. Apparently Austin didn't like HHH irl and refused to drop the title to him directly.

Unforgiven 99: not too clear on the details here but HHH wins a six pack challenge match to retain the WWF title.

No Mercy 99: Austin traps HHH in a room with rattlesnake. HHH barely escapes but lets the world believe that he was mutilated by the snake as a ruse to ambush Stone Cold. At the No Mercy main event, Austin beats the hell out of HHH but loses thanks to botched interference from the Rock

Survivor Series 99: Austin gets run over by a mystery assailant, later revealed to be Rikishi who was doing it for Da Rock. Austin is injured for most of 2000. HHH goes on to marry Stephanie, reform DX, retire Mick Foley, feud with the Rock/Jericho/Angle and turn face by default.

No Mercy 00: Austin returns from injury and beats Rikishi within an inch of his life. HHH was a face at the time and I think had a match against Benoit?

Survivor Series 00: Rikishi reveals he has an accomplice in his devious schemes. A mysterious black gloved individual has been trying to murder Austin by trying to drop pianos and anvils on him. While Austin is getting a beat down from Rikishi and Kurt Angle, HHH runs out to make the save (HHH hates Angle). HHH then attacks Austin and places a black glove on, revealing HE ordered the hit and run last year. Austin and HHH face off at Survivor Series in a pretty lovely match where Austin again gets all the offence in. HHH and his new hitmen, the Radicalz attempt to lure Austin into another car accident but Austin turns the tables and picks up HHH in his car using a crane and drops him from about 40 feet up. Very impressive.

Armageddon 00: HHH and Austin are bit players in the six man cage match. My memory is fuzzy here but at one point HHH returns and pedigrees Austin through the announce table, and debuts his Motorhead theme.

Royal Rumble 01: HHH decides Kurt Angle isn't a worthy WWF champion and looks to take the title away from him. Austin interfered and cost HHH the belt. HHH returns the favour and beats up Austin as he's making his way out to the Rumble match. Austin wins anyway.

No Way Out 01: The big one. Austin and HHH settle things once and for all in a two out of three falls match with each fall having a stipulation. Singles match, Street Fight and finally a Steel Cage. This is such a wonderful blow off match to an 18 month long story. Seriously go and watch it. Remembering how great this match was actually got me to renew my network subscription.

After this, Austin went on to face The Rock and HHH faced Undertaker in two more absolute bangers. Then both did the unthinkable and decided to actually TEAM UP as the Two Man Power Trip. It was a bit of a meh storyline, but apparently the plan was to revisit their feud with another match, only this time HHH would be the face and Austin the heel.

I'm sure I've missed a bunch of stuff out but for my money that's one of the best feud enders of all time.

Cole and Tazz were actually pretty good together in 2002-2003. I'm not sure when Cole became bad. I want to say around 2010 when I started watching regularly again but surely it was before then.

I think Juice is better off in Japan. Was he in the same class as Finlay and Jay White? Jay has obviously been catapulted to the moon early but I feel like Finlay is getting recognition now and it's time for Juice to move up from the US title.

Mankind also did that pulling piledriver fairly often.

And there's a Raw from early 98 where Vader performs the most wreckless and dangerous looking piledriver I've ever seen, on Kane.

Jesus Christ, Vader. I have to wonder where communication broke down there. Clearly they both thought a different move was going to happen.

That's the one. It's 100% Vader's gently caress up, I can't even imagine what he thought he was doing.

Do you ever use wrestling lingo in real life?

My friend used to have a cat named Popcorn and she was super sweet. But then for whatever reason the cats personality changed and she wasn't nice to guests anymore. I was gonna visit this friend and he said to me "by the way before you come over I gotta warn you, Popcorn turned heel."

(Popcorn attacked my head while I was sitting on the couch and she also pissed in my suitcase. But I still love her she's a good girl).

I find myself using Selling/No Selling in everyday life.
