His other leg is free to kick the motherfucker in the head if he wants to.

I remember when CM Punk was calling Superstars and he called Kidd “The Best in the World” during his match before he had hijacked that from Danielson and made it his thing.

Oh shit I remember that move. Loved Tyson Kidd. His team with Cesaro was awesome. So was his team with Justin Gabriel.

So was his feud with Yoshi Tatsu, culminating in a "Yoshi Tatsu's Action Figure's Leg on a Pole Match"

All great shouts. I loved it when he challenged for the NXT Title and lost. I think it may have been the first Takeover after Arrival (just called Takeover). They did a post-match interview with him and Heyman where Kidd was trying to act like it’s cool he lost and Heyman drilled in that wins and losses matter and now it’s back to the drawing board for him. Kidd stormed off. It’s hard to explain, but it was really good, subtle drama.

I will miss Heyman's on screen character when he's gone :(

Heyman really is a wonderful on-screen performer.

Japan had a lot of promotions in the early 2000's.

He might not have been geriatric, but something seems... wrong about that age. And what I mean is, if he's 38 in 2002, that means when Dino Bravo did the pushup challenge, it would have made Tenta about 16 - 17 with a full mountain man beard and already rocking heavy male pattern baldness.*

*Edit: bad math on my part. I don't know why I was thinking 2012 when I did that, even though I even wrote the correct year. My apologies.

Oh crap... I forgot about Yoshi Tatsu's Action Figure!

Sad that the match between it and Cody Rhodes' mustache went the way of Shamrock/Severn III and never happened.

I'd just like to remind everyone that the best wrestler in the world, Santana Jackson, remains unsigned with any major promotion and that should be a freaking felony.

I would LOVE to watch that in person drinking with my buddies. Awesome haha.

Also goes to show how fucking insane MJ was. Just a bananas talent. All time.

Well he's one of the MJ impersonators in downtown Vegas and works wrestling shows in the area so if you ever happen to find yourself in Sin City you might be able to get drunk and catch a performance lol

and tbh the Moonwalk DDT is actually pretty damn slick. Especially on the guys that put effort into selling it.

Was going Feb 23-28 too. Cancelled because of COVID (Canada has too many dumb rules). Going to Calgary same time. Frig.

Damn that sucks :(

COVID is very evil.

Yeah just couldn’t risk it. If my job or the government put some stupid rules in last minute. Made $600 on our Metallica tickets each though. Billy Joel not so much.. haha.

Woah, woah, woah.

Billy Joel in Vegas in late Feb, you say?

Yes. Got cheap tickets to sell!! Haha. Tons available though.

Gah! I gotta fly back to Canada soon after. Probably shouldn’t risk large gatherings.

I don’t give a fuck about getting it. Triple vaxxed, prob had it or will get it, blah blah blah. Just can’t be forced to quarantine for days on end.

Well, I also need a negative test before my flight.

Yeah you need one to get back in and it can be like $200 US. So dumb.

Been on a 1994 ECW kick. It's an interesting year. The company still has a few of the beginning of ECW/Eddie Gilbert guys but you start to see the familiar names and gimmicks trickle in

It's tough for me with ECW... here's there story in bullet points.

Peacock ECW is unwatchable due to music edits
Other footage on Youtube is poor quality compared to Peacock
ECW really wasn't that good
Basically a shit show with maybe 2 good matches and brawls that could be fun but are probably really bad looking back
Most of the wrestlers actually weren't good enough for WWF or WCW
Crowd chanting is a bit overplayed at this point, so really what is so enjoyable?
So much doesn't pay off due to contract issues

I downloaded complete year torrents so I still get all the original music and commercials which I love and in great quality. 95-96 ECW is outstanding but it gets bad fast after Barely Legal 1997. 1998 and 1999 are terrible.

Always liked Charlie Haas. Looking back, Charlie probably came along 15 years too early. Could you imagine peak WGTT around now?

The bushwacker elimination from the 91 Rumble is one of my favorites of all time. Just how he keeps walking cracks me up.

Yeah, they'd be in a spelling bee with RKBro.

They'd probably be in AEW

lmao listening to a Cameo Danhausen sent to Cornette in which explains that the reason he uses teeth as a weapon is because his opponents already have teeth so it can't be illegal to use more teeth on them. LOL

Cornette played those on his podcast a few months back. They were brilliant.

Danhausen gonna steal the good Dr. from Adam Cole so he can have access to copious amounts of teeth. Or Adam Cole fights Danhausen with an even larger jar of teeth he got from his wife.

One of those things is going to happen or Tony Khan will be cursed.

I always liked guys that has his quiet charisma. Seemed just like a pretty normal dude who was really good at wrestling. By today’s standards, he is FANTASTIC when it comes to holds and stuff, his promos sound way more confident than 90% of guys, and he’s bigger too.

He and Shelton would have been in NXT, tossing people around and people would have called them the new Steiners. They’d probably be split up even earlier, but Haas would have way more chance.

The Haas of Pain is just a fucking brilliant submission move.

yeah i'm surprised no one uses it currently (although i suppose i just might not be aware of someone that is).

The guys with amateur wrestling backgrounds are the ones WWE are taking an interest in now. AEW has virtually none that I can think of. If WGTT weren’t in WWE, I think they’d actually probably be splitting their time between American indies as the hottest tag team act there (maybe as THE stars in ROH, helping to prop it up now), or as THE gaijin team in New Japan. Maybe even in Impact too. There are some bigger and more technical dudes there too.

the only person on the AEW roster i can think of off the top of my head with a legit amateur wrestling background is leyla hirsch.
