Back in the day, my friends and I used to watch Raw with a local wrestler. After a really early Cena match (like not long after he'd debuted), D-von rubbed Cena's face in the mat and local wrestler dude goes "Y'all see that? He's doing that to send a message to the boys in the back that that dude sucks." Is that a real thing? I've never heard that before or since, and I've asked a couple of other guys from our local scene about it and they'd never heard of that either.

I saw a video once of Warhorse doing his own paint, but it looked like he was using craft paint instead of those fancy markers that Rosa uses or whatever that was that Dustin did. Personally, I think it'd probably be a lot faster and easier to take an airbrush rig and make some stencils and do it in a couple of passes.

Why isn’t Chris Hero doing anything higher profile right now? Seems he’d be a lock for someone to sign even just in a backstage role.

I don't think the Horsemen counts here since the group was still together, just swapping out the 4th member for a while. I'd point to their later WCW run with Benoit and Pillman and then Benoit and McMichael and the Jeff Jarrett drama where no one gave a poo poo about them as an example of how it doesn't succeed, doesn't really fail, but just no one cares. The later revival with Malenko was cool for exactly 1 week and then dead.

pseudodragon posted:Does the Hart Foundation count? The full Bret/Owen/Davey/Anvil/Pillman version was a hell of a lot cooler than the original Bret/Anvil team and all the other various tag team pairings that ran at different times. I was thinking about them also. Didn't Bret/Jim get back together for a bit and win the tag belts after Bret's first run as IC champ?

Ganso Bomb posted:I don't think they ever officially reunited as a team after their first run? Even with the full-fledged Hart Foundation reunion in the 90s, I don't think they tagged. Jim & Owen tagged in the early 90s, but never got anywhere close to holding the belts. Yeah, you're right. I was spotty watching wrestling around that time but for some reason thought that Bret and Jim got back together after Bret's first solo run but it looks like him winning the IC title was about a year after they lost their second tag championship to the Nastys.

My best friend works in the IT dept at a college in FL and randomly found an old Global poster from an event there and sent it to me. Pretty cool poo poo, but I swear to god I don't think I know a single name on the event despite being pretty deep into wrestling since the mid-80's.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Between WWE being a monolith and NWA still having a lot of talent when Global first set up shop, I'd imagine the pickings were slim Well actually now that I dug this poster out, Del Wilkes was on this show, and so were Peggy Lee Leather and Bambi. I'm not sure who the others are, though. Here's a pic: EDIT: Thinking about the 8 man battle royale as the main event, then looking and seeing that there are exactly 8 men wrestling down the card. That was pretty common in shows down here when I was a kid; was that common elsewhere on small shows?

Anyone have a link to that lucha match where a dog wandered into the ring and the rudos started selling for him and the crowd is chanting "Per-ro Per-ro?" Searching for that or "lucha dog" just brings up a bunch of Perro Aguyao.

Atomic Robo-Kid posted:So, this is more of a trading card question. How are those memorabilia, relic cards from Topps created? I know that for a lot of Football/Basketball/Baseball etc relic stuff like that, they print up a ton of the largest size jersey in the number 88, then have the players stand around and put a ton of them on at the same time (one over another over another etc), sign the one they're wearing, take it off and do the same to the next one, repeat. Topps (or Panini or whoever) take those shirts, cut them into little swatches and print that into a card. They use 88 as the number regardless of the player's actual number due to it having more surface area for contrast when they cut them up into the patches and also using the largest size to get more material for cutting up. They put them on like that for the technicality of "player worn" and all that. I'd assume that with wrestling it's pretty much the same; they put on a one of their merch shirts in the ring, take it and cut it up so they can promote it as "ring worn gear." Relics like the canvas from events (or like in basketball the wood from a particular arena's floor; that sort of thing) are possibly more "legit" I'd imagine, but it's possible that they just take an extra canvas and toss it on the ring and then give it to Topps. edit: also I don't think anyone mentioned Sandman/Sandboy EdsTeioh fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Apr 25, 2022 |

For what it's worth, my best friend and his wife are both yoga instructors with varying levels of new age poo poo in their lessons and were both really impressed with what I showed them from DDPY videos. Basically their opinion is that it's actual good yoga with dumb bro marketing. They also commented that people that do intense yoga for a long time end up with "yoga body" which apparently DDP has big as poo poo.

Barry Bluejeans posted:did they share what some of the distinguishing features of yoga body are? Mainly stretching arms really far. For real, I think it's the way your chest ends up developing in a weird skinny but toned way as opposed to big meaty titties on weightlifters (basically Kofi vs Big E; no, I'm not sure of Kofi's a yoga guy, but it wouldn't surprise me).

Fun fact, this ban was only overturned LAST YEAR. The ban was only for public schools though; not like yoga in general was illegal.

Pretty sure he was doing those in Stampede though. I *wanna* say that the Stunner is since all of the variations I know of before SCSA were opponent's face to the mat instead of the shoulder (Johnny Ace style).

edogawa rando posted:I also recall some sort of conflict which saw one of the biggun's from back in the day get pushed out of NJPW as a result of some arguments that stemmed from this sort of thing (I want to say it was Hashimoto?). Yeah it was Hash. He was going to (storyline) leave and start a separate fed and feud with NJPW but then got released for real for reasons someone else can explain because I really don't know. He then ended up taking that name/idea and actually starting Zero-One.

davidbix posted:If the real story behind Zero-One is out there, is hasn't been translated to English. It absolutely started as a worked NJPW offshoot promotion, with Yuji Nagata teaming with Hashimoto in the main event of the first show. SOMETHING changed pretty quickly, but if anyone knows what, they're keeping quiet. Steve Corino was Z1 office from pretty early on as foreign talent booker and he's always sworn that whatever it was that happened, nobody ever told him. Weird! That Hashimoto/Ogawa thing is a shoot though, right? Like Hash was legit ambushed in that sloppy rear end match?

In fact, I don't think ANY matches were announced for that one and it was just like "come see 'rasslin at the civic center; all your favorites!" I don't think Hogan OR Hart were announced as appearing. Now that I think about it, it seems pretty par for the course for WCW around that time. We were able to score ringside seats pretty easily, too.
