There's a clip of Brian Curtis just laying into a fan and then putting him in a chokehold. There's another terrifying one of a fan rushing the ring to try and push over a ladder while Eddie Guerrero was on top of it.

Gavok posted:What's funny is that this exact thing is happening right now in AEW. The current top face aiming for the top title is Swerve Strickland, who is an absolute despicable human being. Months back, he was building his match with Hangman Adam Page by filming himself breaking into Page's home and cutting a sinister promo over Page's baby's crib. And now the fans are absolutely into him. He's been only vaguely apologetic about the whole thing at best. Swerve is basically Killmonger from the first Black Panther movie and the whole thing with the baby in the crib was so obviously fake that fans just forgot about it and that's probably for the best. It actually annoyed me that they brought it back up in a promo

16-bit Butt-Head posted:you might get the poo poo beat out of you if you run into a wrestling ring and attack the big scary men or you might be escorted out by security wasn't it King of the Ring 97 where a fan with Downs Syndrome was being roughed up by security and Shawn Michaels went out and broke it up? He was really gentle with him and did a great job calming him down. occasionally you get something nice like that. but usually it's just some drunk getting their rear end beat

'I'm From Hollywood' is a legitimately great wrestling documentary and a very interesting time-capsule. I remember Comedy Central used to air it now and again back in the 90's. Also, 'Andy Wasn't Tough Enough' is easily the best song about Andy Kaufman, just put it on and vibe for a minute. https://youtu.be/kB0hLuDdbD0?si=UyevBe78CvQyVU_W

Cthulu Carl posted:Hulk Hogan once put Richard Belzer on a sleeper hold until Belzer passed out, fell, and cracked his head on the floor. On live television. It was a front chin lock! And he was being rude. Mr. T egged him on. He was just demonstrating the hold as requested and then T said something like "tighten it up" and he was out in like one second. Then Hulk was like, "I didn't think he'd pass out so fast, he must be in really bad shape." Mulaney Power Move fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Mar 15, 2024 |

Cornwind Evil posted:Freddy Blassie recounted "I got stabbed, I had acid thrown on me, I had a brand new car, they torched it...because they loved me!" and he laughed. The worst part is, he was TECHNICALLY correct...but in this case it sure wasn't the best part of correct. Reminds me of Paul Heyman's story about getting a ride home from Blassie, who really needed glasses. Blassie's swerving all over the place, hitting curbs, hitting trash cans, terrifying pedestrians. People are yelling at him, flipping him off. He says, "See that, kid? That's HEAT. I'll teach you how to get that and give it to your guy!"

I'll teach you how to get that and give it to your guy!" Amazingly, the man forced to live in pro wrestling where he has to pretend to be an rear end in a top hat all the time and suffer numerous untreated head injuries cannot tell the difference between theatrical heat and people being angry they were almost killed by a car. At least Stan Hanson, legendarily stiff wrestler, had the excuse that wearing his glasses in the ring was pretty much a no go, but since he was almost blind without them, well, calculating the exact range of his strikes, especially his famous lariat, was difficult. And by difficult I mean 'he once literally thumped Leon "Big Van Vader" White on the side of the head so hard, it made his eyeball pop out of its socket.

Sometimes hear about a player laying out a streaker, would make sense after that tennis stabbing not wanting to trust the intentions of random loons. It happens now and then, but the players are undoubtedly told to let security handle it and generally that's what they'll do. Fun as it might be to blow up some drunk twenty-something doing a dumb thing, you don't wanna be the guy who lost out on a contract worth millions because you hosed up your shoulder making the stop. Just too easy for things to go super wrong. There was a linebacker in the Super Bowl, Greenlaw, who popped his Achilles just ... running back onto the field after a change of possession.

I watched parts of Smackdown on a muted second TV last week. With no sound, I saw Dwayne come out and jack himself off in the ring for 25 minutes, followed by an hour and a half of insanely bad wrestling. Is that assessment far off? How can people still stomach WWE?

a whole half-hour of the Rock on the mic? Not that he wasn't charismatic in his promos, but I don't think he was asked to fill up twenty-five minutes with talking before. Maybe I'm just old, but I bet I'd get tired of the talking well before twenty-five minutes have passed also, taking a half goddamn hour to get to the point is part of Triple H's gimmick and it's very rude of Mr Johnson to steal it imho

How can people still stomach WWE? I'm sorry that you don't appreciate CINEMA But honestly for a lot of these people it's just inertia. They've been watching so long and they have no standards so they just eat whatever slop they're told to eat And I'll be honest, when I finally stopped watching them like 15+ years ago, inertia was a thing for me too. RAW was just what me and my friends always did on Mondays and eventually I skipped a couple weeks because I was going through some life changes and then I realized I didn't actually miss it and also I now had 3 extra hours of free time every Monday to do something more enjoyable

The last time I watched, there was maybe one or two 5 minute matches per hour of program, and you couldn't tell if it was bad or not because the cameras kept shaking and jumping and cutting to different angles.

They will absolutely do this and probably have a Batman and Robin themed match and it will be awesome because the last few cross promotional themed matches have been awesome It's so much better than the cringe thing WWE does where like every WrestleMania match is a Skittles Women's Battle Royal or Snickers Triple Threat Match or the SlimJim Money in the Bank match
