DM72 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Flair's been talking about Mulligan's health for a while on his podcast. Apparently, he weighs close to 500 pounds and is basically bed-ridden. Flair's been talking about how he's near the end for a few months now. Â It's kind of a shame, because a healthy Blackjack at any age would be the perfect guy to show up to try to "talk some sense" to Bray or Bo or whoever and take a bump for his troubles. Â It's always fun when a giddy Flair tells Blackjack stories. I mean the guy punched Andre the Giant AND got arrested with his son for counterfeiting. That's quite a life. Mulligan was my first favorite wrestler. I still remember watching a late night wrestling broadcast where he put the claw on someone and blood came running out of the guy's head, then the big red X blocked the rest of it.

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Charlotte and Flair vs Brooke and Hulk at wrestlemania.

pjfootballer Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I can't stand Brock Lesnar. Big old eraser headed fool. No personality. I wish someone would "cauliflower" his left ear to match the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I'm always fascinated how freaks of nature (athletically) like Ryback aren't bigger stars. Poor writing? Poor mic skills? What is it?  I mean..to me he's Brock Lesnar (almost the exact same size) but with more personality.  edit..just read up on him some more and I guess other wrestlers have criticized his ring skills and potential to injure other guys. I guess it makes sense now. Edited February 9, 2016 by The Evil Genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Ryback sucks. He looks like your standard WCW Saturday Night tag team jobber from 1994. He also seems to be dumber than ****. I'm surprised he's made it as long as he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I think a part of it is that it's harder to book monsters now than ever before. I'm not entirely sure that The Road Warriors would get over today unless they were on a Brock Lesnar contract.  You have Ryback go through the roster for six months and then set him up with, say, Ambrose for some kind of title. Maybe you do an injury angle and Ambrose has to come back in four months and get his revenge. Once the monster has been slain, what do you do with him? You just put him in a case with Kane and The Big Show where they are kind of a comedy act until you need them to be a killer for a few weeks.  Ryback would be incredibly well-served going to Japan for a year, getting the **** stiffed out of him, figuring out how to get over, and then coming back in some kind of new ring gear.  (The Road Warriors were able to keep their unbeatable vibe for year despite the fact that they never really held title belts because they would spend a year in a territory, draw huge money, and move on. If they were on Raw once a week for five years, what the hell do you do with them?)  I criticize the booking all the time, but I'm also sympathetic to it. When you have 20 guys locked into 5 year contracts who are on tv every week, eventually you just run out of **** to do with them.

DM72 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 A guy like Ryback would have been huge in the 80's. He could have been a part of a tag team. He could have went from territory to territory as hired muscle. Many wrestlers like him became huge in Japan. Stan Hanson, Terry Gordy, Dr Death and The Road Warriors come to mind. Now, he would probably be better served in TNA or ROH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 But how is Ryback different than say Lesnar? Is it all Heyman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) But how is Ryback different than say Lesnar? Is it all Heyman? Could be. But Lesnar is a former UFC champion. Lets not forget that. Edited February 9, 2016 by DM72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 On the list of guys that I think should be stars but aren't, Ryback would be near the bottom of the list. But how is Ryback different than say Lesnar? Is it all Heyman? Some guys just have charisma, some don't. Even years ago before Heyman was in the picture, Lesnar was magnetic and a big deal.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) But how is Ryback different than say Lesnar? Is it all Heyman? Â I feel like people overlook a pretty simple fact when it comes to Lesnar: He's one of the biggest physical freaks in the history of the universe. Â He won the NCAA wrestling title. He had a debilitating motorcycle accident, said screw it, and still attended an NFL training camp where he nearly made the team despite the fact that he did not play college ball. He said "Oh well," trained for UFC and won its heavyweight title. At some during all this, he lost a large part of his intestines. Â On top of that, he's weirdly charismatic. Not good on the microphone, but just has a presence that is amazing. Â I put it this way: I do not like UFC....and I'm not even a particular fan of Brock. But I watched all of his UFC fights. Â The weird thing about Lesnar is that I honestly think he just wants to drive a tractor all day.

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Man, just got caught up on Raw tonight........Thanks Daniel Bryan! Â It was a cool ride watching you rise to the top. Â Loved it when he said that he wanted to have kids, crowd chants yes, then he's like, "That's what Bree says!". Â Â Very emotional, wish the best for that guy.

Â I didn't catch it, but evidently he grabbed Vince and Vince got mad, shoved him and suspended him for 90 days the following night for the Smack Down taping in Portland.

justice98 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Ninety days seems excessive for that. I can't imagine Titus is crazy enough to go at Vince in front of an arena full of people and all his colleagues and been serious. Just seems like a misunderstanding. Like something an apology and explanation couldve cured. Suspend him for Smackdown and the following Raw if you have to do something. This seems bizarre, mainly because of who it is. Titus seems to have a pretty stellar reputation there. Edited February 10, 2016 by justice98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 That's nuts if it is 90 days. Â Maybe a couple of weeks max, make him act a fool with his char and job him out (aren't they already jobbing him out though?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
