  1. The King got neutered when he turned face and they went PG. King is way better we he can be offensive and insulting. Now he's just an old man making bad grandad jokes.
  2. He's gold. Did you get a new number? Hit me up. Let me know what's happening out there. Santino is amazing though. He's a great comedy wrestler and never breaks character. The guy embraced what his gimmick was and actually made it work. Props to him. I went back and watched where he almost won Elimination Chamber and the guy had the entire arena on his side and this was during Bryan's rise to the top. Would have been an explosion had he actually won the damn thing. Oh and I like Sandow but he's honestly not going anywhere with that gimmick. He'd be so much better as manager which is what they should transition him too. He can take bumps and he's fantastic on the mic.
  3. Does he get to take the Go to Sleep back? He's an awesome wrestler and STIFF as **** when he wants to be. You're right there they're gonna give him some ****ing samurai gimmick where he comes to the ring with a Japanese flag and yells Bonzai
  4. He was so good at it. He really is great. Probably for the best he's never been in WWE. He's a great wrestler and doesn't need them to give him a gimmick where he wears Grillz and says NOW THATS WHACK! Cole: "Here he is ladies and gentleman Jay Grillz!" JBL: "Don't be whack Maggle! Haha I love it!"
  5. Does anyone remember Jay Lethal? I believe he's the ROH TV champ right now I'll have to look it up. God I loved him. Especially when he was "Black Machismo" and stole Savages Macho Man gimmick. Plus he's hilarious. Too bad he's never been in WWE. I think he's fantastic. He also has one of my favorite wrestling shirts ever: http://www.prowrestlingtees.com/best-in-the-world-lethal.html
  6. Pro wrestling is fake but it's race problem isnt: http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/07/the-not-so-fictional-bias-in-the-wwe-world-championship/374042/ Article on racism in WWE if anyone is interested in reading it. Touches on Rusev only beating up on black dudes and goes from there.
  7. Gallen probably won't sleep until next Monday.
  8. Bret Hart on RAW last night is proof of your second point. Though he's always been a bit more stoic in older age.
  9. They claimed everyone was in on it. Bret, Shawn, Vince. They said it was setup to make Vince a bad guy and to make Bret sympathetic at WCW. I don't buy it but it's interesting that two people that worked for them both claim it to be a work. One was on creative as a writer and the other was in production.
  10. I've met two people who worked for WWE and both of them have emphatically claimed the Screwjob was a work.
  11. He almost won the Elimination Chamber in 2012. He was the last one eliminated. Also fun fact from that match is that Daniel Bryan is the only person to ever kick out of the Cobra. (OK I don't know if that's true but it sure as hell seems like it. And I'm not doing the research) Go back and watch that match. Crowd was behind him hard.
  12. I have to admit it would be funny as **** for Sting to debut only to have Ric Flair come out and beat the **** out of him revealing it was a setup between he and Vince all along. One last pulling of the wool over Sting's eyes, if you will. No one wants to see them wrestle though. Please join us in the 21st century.
  13. Ric Flair did this to Sting at Halloween Havoc 95. I remember it making no sense when I saw it. Arn Anderson beats the **** out of Flair for weeks, Flair recruits Sting to tag with him against Arn and Brian Pillman. At the PPV Ric Flair gets" injured" and can't compete leaving Sting alone. Finally Flair comes out and he, Arn and Pillman beat the **** out of Sting. Oh yeah they randomly recruited Benoit at the time, too so he also joined in. The storyline made no sense.
  14. Ambrose doesn't need work in the ring. He is a brawler that is his style. He's not technically proficient but he can sell on the mic and in the ring. Reigns needs the most work out of the 3. Rollins can wrestle but is mediocre on the mic. Ambrose is going to be the biggest star of the 3.
  15. Bad News Barrett with Redskins burn. Got some nice heat for that one.
  16. The theories I've heard are that they don't like the way JR looks on TV and JR could be brash back stage. It's just hearsay though. That and they don't think his health will hold up like Brave said. The firing over the Ric Flair was just the scapegoat they needed. If you listen to interviews about what happened the developers of the game loved it. The reason Flair is allowed back is probably because 1. He's Ric Flair and 2. He's always been in good with Vince and HHH. They both love him. You're also not going to change Ric Flair. He is who he is. You take what you get with him.
  17. Pro Wrestling was my **** back in the day. Whenever you'd win a match there would be a badly translated Japanese to English message that proclaimed "A WINNER IS YOU"
  18. I realized after I wrote that it was a poor choice of words, haha. I think WWE edited Phillips out on its History of WWE DVD. They have the Andre/Hogan match from WM 3 and it's only shown from the hard cam so you can't see him. Didn't Patterson, Phillips, and someone else resign as a result of allegations?
  19. I can't get into NXT. I think the idea behind is pretty cool but it's not a great barometer for anything. Guys like Adam Rose get over there because the same 400 people (read: smarks, fanatics, whatever you wanna call them) show up and are a huge part of the show. They buy into almost everything. Even Mojo Rowley. The minute Rose stepped onto RAW he got zero reaction other than when they were in England. It does seem to have better wrestling overall which is nice to watch. Sami Zayn has the personality of a turnbuckle but he can wrestle just as well as Daniel Bryan. We're talking about the company who used necrophilia to advance a storyline. The Patterson thing seems like child's play in comparison.
  20. Brodus Clay came up with the Hall of Pain gimmick and he pitched in to WWE. So what do they do? Give it to Mark Henry and make him the Funkasaurus.
  21. That will officially cap off one of the weakest title reigns ever. No way they book Bryan to beat Lesnar. Feel sorry for Bryan. Horrible way to have a run with the belt. There's a difference between cue cards as talking points and here's exactly what you have to say. And really? Sid? He's a horrible promo. I'm not talking about backstage promos. I'm talking about in the ring and live.
  22. At least the midcard had something to do. Attitude Era was over the top (even though that's kind of the point) but at least the midcard felt important. No one cares about any of the lower tiered belts anymore. Rumor is Triple H wants to rebuild the midcard and make it important again. The tournament for the IC contender spot was cool. That had to be Triple H's idea since Vince hates tournaments. But that was a good start to making it feel important again. I don't think the WWE needs to go more mature. They need to better develop their guys so they're not as boring as a ring post on a microphone. And not be so damn scripted. That really kills the emotion of it all. No one in the Attitude Era or before read from a script.
  23. Del Rio fought MMA. Biggest fight was against Cro Cop. Punk and Taker are both just fans of it. Punk trains with Gracie but I think he'd get wrecked in MMA.
  24. Dusty or Flair. They're the best. Foley is underrated on the mic and the Rock is enjoyable for humor sake but strictly promo abilities to sell you on a match is Dusty or Flair. I do however personally love Jericho. Fantastic as a heel.
