low key the funny part to me, the classic wwe-ism, is you could have just taken that women's segment and done it in the opposite order. Have Raquel come out, cut her promo, rhea and bianca come out, they celebrate together w/ the picture up, and THEN have taya come out to interrupt that. Interrupting the celebration is way more of a goad if you're angling for a title match, and now you have a little seed you could use later on if she feuds with either of the other women.

Bruce Prichard had removed you from the creative team.

Yeah moreso than "Celebrity did move X and Y" he got pacing and match psychology and timing and he knew how to sell. Also he spent like 80% of the match being the legal man and still had spots after he tagged out.

There is no other guy in WWE that could have ruined the main event of Summerslam and gotten away with it.

I mean, ruin is subjective. He ruined it but also made it awesome.

basically any "occult" character WWE has done after Taker really is on that level though

lol, this reminds me of Papa Shango inexplicably running in to interfere in the main event of WM8. My memory might have failed but I don't remember him having anything to do with Sid/Hogan. Then the run-in was mis-timed likely due to the aisle being so loving long and he didn't make it in time making Sid have to kick out of the legdrop. What a moment!

It's pretty funny that they keep trying to make another the occult guy in the mould of Taker, but apparently they also keep forgetting that Taker worked because he was silent for like 95% of the time.

This, and also it was like an event if Taker lost. At least for the first few years. Like the first two losses I remember is Hogan being a dick and throwing the urn's ashes in Taker's face, and him facing Yoko and literally every heel in the company came down to beat him up and literally kill him. Aside from that he was just destroying folks week after week.

Looking forward to the maudlin WWE 24 in ten years about Miz getting domed by a tomato.

:sad music: "I had just been WWE champion a few months before, on top of the world. And then it happened. Looking back it was a crazy stunt to attempt and things went wrong. The tomato hit me right in my head. It shattered the tomato and my skull. Afterward I couldn't remember the ingredients of salad. I later learned the trainers backstage were terrified. When I got to the back they asked me if I remembered the entire skit and I said no. Also my tag partner got hit by a tomato in his penis. He did lose the penis. But we were making the WWE Universe happy so we were proud to do it."

I saw a list of great college baseball names earlier today and I am convinced that Triple H is going to crib every one of these names for future talent.



I'm reading Flair's autobiography right now and there's the part where he's trying to think of a ring name and the promoter is like, "You already got it, kid. Instead of Rick Fliehr you'll be Ric Flair!"

I wonder how the course of pro wrestling history would have changed if the promoter was like, "I got it, kid! You're going to be Itchy Burts!"

I don't think so? His shoot name is Eric Bugenhagen, which the NXT Naming Gods decided was too long/confusing/ethnic I guess, so they changed it to Rik Bugez, which was meant to be pronounced "Boogs" but you would get a "Boo-gez" or "Bug-ezz" sometimes, so the changed the spelling.

Historic trends of weird assigned names make it more likely (but still pretty unlikely) that if there was any external reference here, it would be to former first basemen/pitmaster Boog Powell.

Does it have to start with B? Just say Smith. Eric Smith. It doesn't matter. None of this matters.

I was not defending either his birth name or his various gimmick names, I was only explaining that the starting point for the gimmick name was the name he was born with and used prior to/at the start of his wrestling career, and any variation on it was likely influenced by the name on his birth certificate and not a proto-shock jock whose career peaked in the late 1970s. I agree that people both in wrestling and real life can call themselves whatever name they like, regardless of initial letter.

I was just making an Aqua Teen reference.

8/7/2002: Bo Dupp pins Oklahoma/Ed Ferrera on an early TNA PPV
8/14/2002: Teo, The World's Smallest Extreme Athlete pins Bo Dupp on a TNA PPV

I cannot find any record of Teo dropping a match since that day, and therefore he is hypothetically the original lineal Million Dollar Champion.

So if I get access to a ring and pay Teo like fifty bucks or so to job I can become the lineal Million Dollar Champion???

Do you like it or do you not like it? Do you have to say 'I like it, but I like this other thing more." Just watch it or don't."

"And stop trying to figure out where everything goes. Fans ruin their own stuff half the time trying to figure out where everything goes and why it's going there and how, and then trying to pick up their phone and search for the thing to find out what it is can ruin it for them so they aren't surprised when it happens. I don't understand that.”


Gee I wonder why Trips seems to be being pushed out of power.

What surprises are we supposed to be ruining? What the hell can I learn about the long-term future of anything in WWE when the main event of Raw isn't written before the show starts? Yeah, I'm gonna somehow spoil next year's Mania card even though they won't even start thinking about it until the morning of the Rumble.
