They also say wrestlers are an amped up version of their own personalities, so how retarded is Hacksaw Jim Duggan in real life? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

sticklefifer posted:I know a few "fiscally conservative/socially liberal" people, and knowing what I know about real life JBL he's probably that. Like they care about justice and regulations not oppressing marginalized people, but not enough to do anything systemic about it because that's expensive. This is how Jesse Ventura got elected governor.

What happened to Jinder Mahal? I remember him being pushed to the moon, but wasn't watching WWE closely at the time and don't know how he ended.

What are the coolest clusterfuck moments to end a show? I am talking about where nearly the entire locker room gets involved and everyone is pairing off with their rival. I know ECW used to segments like that a lot, but haven't seen WWE do it in a long time.

JOHN CENA posted:basically right near the end of jinders reign, brock really wasn't interested in working with the guy for survivor series (because they MUST do champion vs champion every year) and they figured out that the social media and youtube hits jinder was getting was from clickfarms and not actually being super hot in India. This is hilarious. Who was clickfarming Jinder if Indians didn't care about him?

Why were there so many injuries in the Brawl for All? I assume the injury rate in boxing and MMA isn't anywhere near that.

RC and Moon Pie posted:Gagne moved it to an office building in 1973 or 1974. There is footage of Chris Taylor outside, so it was at least partially there in 1973. Ricky Steamboat's class (1974) involved firemen's carries and the like up several flights of stairs. Wade Keller has a story about when he first started our a wrestling journalist. I can't remember if it was Gagne or Brad Riggins, but one of them invited them down to their wrestler camp for a day to report on it and see what it's like. Keller was going to go, but got a warning call from a friend the day before telling him not to show up because they planned to stretch him.

Dawgstar posted:Nobody was really trained for it, save for like Shamrock who didn't want to do it and Dan Severn who decided he had nothing to prove (and he was right) after winning his first round. Steve Blackman too but he had to pull out after a training injury. So you basically had a lot of big men flailing at each other, as likely to injure themselves as each other. I just watched the Brawl for All episode of Dark Side of Wrestling. Bart Gunn looks completely different, and I really feel bad for the guy. He did everything they asked him to do, and they purposely put him up against Butterbean to ruin him. Vince just grinning when Butterbean told him Gunn had no chance against him was disgusting. The only good thing that came out of it was Bradshaw getting destroy.

Kosmo Gallion posted:The people who freak out whenever a NJPW wrestler who they "don't know" debuts on Dynamite are all people who don't even watch AEW anyway. I meant "freak out" as in "Yes!!! Jay White is here!" While I am thinking "Who the hell is Jay White?" I am always surprised by the crowd reaction that NJPW guys get and wish they would do vignettes to explain why they are a big deal. If I am in the m in minority though and most fans know who they are, I will shut up about it.

DeathChicken posted:He signed a 10 year deal for $250,000 a year (apparently), it was probably far cheaper to try and make him quit than fire him Speaking of this... I just learned about the time they "ribbed" Henry be sending him out to the ring for a match with Sin Cara, only to not have Sin Cara come out. Henry eventually got pissed, left the ring and returned to the back only to find it completely deserted. How is this supposed to be funny? Your comment about trying to get him to quit makes sense here, was that the point of it?
