Submitted another question to the Drive Thru. I'm sure my new found celebrity status should push me to the front of the line

Watching a 2002 Velocity. It's insane how much Pyro they were using for thr B Shows and nowadays we only get it at Wrestlemania

Yay Billy and Chuck! Lol Holy shit at this match. Tag Champs Billy and Chuck vs Mark Henry and Randy Orton

Velocity was miles better than Heat

I do not remember this Mark Henry theme at all.

I don't either, that is horrible.

He had a good run for a couple of years - especially the UNDEFEATED TATANKA... but he never had a really good match.

Yeah unless they were going to pair him in a feud with Ric Flair he wasn't going to be having great matches with anyone. I mean, HBK couldn't get a good one out of him. I always loved Tatanka's look. He was huge, and had that Bam Bam Bigelow quality of not being a good speaker, but a very passionate promo. He was very over during his undefeated streak.

Oh yeah the one good match he had was with Bam Bam at Rumble 94.

I remember it because I did a watch through starting from the beginning of the brand extension. Henry used it for a few months after his return from injury/OVW.

Smackdown SYM. I gave him the banzai drop as a finisher because of course it's the chocolate drop.

WWE might be doing some roster cleaning soon to make room for the upcoming batch of new talent. They already got rid of Zeda from NXT and more are probably on their way out soon as well.

Must be disgusting/hard/inconvenient when Harper eats

Interesting. I haven't really kept up with this case.

Because defamation (libel and slander) requires a false statement of fact, this could mean, at least potentially, that nothing Punk said about the doctor or what the doctor did was false.

Or it could be that the doctor or his attorney(s) simply chose not file a defamation claim, for whatever reason. That's possible, but seems unlikely if Punk publicly lied about the doctor.

The lawsuit a goddamn was let of taxpayer money and should have never gotten to trial. WWE likely told Aman they would back him through the case financially and Punk is so stubborn he couldn’t walk away and leave the past behind him. Best case scenario out of this is Punk loses a lot of money and returns to pro wrestling as an Indy property or works for NJPW.

Random thought. Could you imagine if Roman Reigns had Samoa Joe's mic skills?

I cannot.

Man did the WWE ever have some weird themes in 2002 that I have zero recollection of. Does anyone remember Kidman having this theme?

That theme belongs in that WWE Crush Hour game

...are you talking about Pearl Jam's "Evenflow"?

Here is a dumb question: Why hasn't WWE thrown Lashley's name on a bunch of sweatbands and started selling them?

Yes because it was in SmackDown: Shut Your Mouth which I played the everloving shit out of.

Im fairly convinced that they dont know what the hell they're doing with him all the way around. Not that I Care because I still think hes over rated.

I remember the knock off action figure that called him "Hard Hitting"

Was this before he became the legend and my favourite gimmick that WWE did nothing with : Planet Stasiak?

They haven't figured out a bad MS Paint design for it yet?

You could have stopped right there.

Not only do I remember that Mark Henry theme, I remember it was weirdly used in tv bumps and commercials (along with The Hardyz and both the Hardcore Holly themes), the shitty "beefcakes" meme it spawned, AND the awful "remix" they did to it because of some uncleared samples or some shit. Thankfully that one didn't last long since he got hurt... not saying it was good he got hurt, but it was a good way to trash that shit theme.

Bonus points on that Vito post also containing Chrisian's entrance. Too bad this was well after it was Shinsuke'd to prevent him from getting cheered for his awesome theme.

Pretty gobsmacked by the end of the AAA PPV.

1st,I was under the impression that it was supposed to be Dr. Wagner vs. Rey Mysterio for the title, but Jeff Jarrett is there for some reason. I guess he came back mid show and demanded a title shot? Who in their right mind gives Jeff freaking Jarrett a title shot on his first night back?

2nd, the ref is doing heelish things. Counting slow for Wagner and fast for Jarrett, whatever. Wagner clocks him.

Out runs Fake La Parka in a ref shirt, argues with Wagner, clocks him and fast counts Jarrett as the new champ.

Fake La Parka unmasks and it's Konnan. I guess Konnan is re-debuting.

Vampiro comes out,followed by Jarrett's stable. Konnan, Jarrett and the stable beat down Vampiro, Wagner, and Mysterio.

FENIX COMES OUT MAKING HIS RETURN TO AAA. Fenix hasn't worked in AAA for like a year because AAA is a shit promotion. Fenix cleans house because he's the shit and the overarching thread of this whole thing is that is gonna be Fenix vs. Jarrett for the title.

And I'm just like "who let Vince Russo book this?"

Stuff like that has pretty much been the reason why CMLL is usually seen as the better of the two for the past several years in Mexico.

I'm not surprised, because I've come to expect clusterfuckery from AAA. This was just some next level shit.

Ive never really tried with CMLL because I pretty much don't know ANYONE. I know about 75% of the people on an AAA card between LU, Americans, and reading Wikipedia.

Think I''ve only watched a couple shows at most and mostly know Dragon Lee and Gran Metalik from there because they also work in other companies.

Seen a few more shows from AAA because Univision airs their shows on tv here I think. Majority from the short period years ago when I was really hooked on lucha wrestling. Now just watch Lucha Underground for my lucha needs.

Less than 2 weeks, brother.
