If only Conrad would hire someone like Kris Zellner to help. What a fucking get that would be.

Lol Jesus

This is one of the best things I've seen in a while. I wonder if Funk was ribbing them or if this was the match which was put together. Seemed like a rib based off the reactions of the opponents.


Fucking hilarious though. You could see when he was whipped into the ropes, but did the hand-plant top-rope exit, the frustration of the guy as soon as he saw Funk put his arm down to catch himself.


Watching it again :rofl::rofl::rofl:

His opponents were dogshit so Terry is doing what he can to pull a match out of them.

His head folded up on his s body like a folding a towel... I'm surprised his neck didn't snap

Could have had him beat Christian in their WWECW title ladder match since the Brand was going to die about a month later anyway.

Not to mention they made it a point to show the WWECW title was less valuable than the other world titles in many ways so it would have been more of an equivalent to Shelton winning the IC belt (which he had already done) anyway. But he still would have been in a main event in their C show at the time I suppose

Actually I want to scratch that statement. Give William Regal Ezekiel Jackson's WWECW title reign, have confetti fall and everything. Much more deserving of a "world" title reign than anyone on that brand.

Really interesting

so it's showing who had the most cage matches in US or Canada for each year? Just to make sure I'm not misunderstanding

i'm assuming they mean total matches on record

https://www.cagematch.net/
https://www.wrestlingdata.com/

Because I really can't remember Charlie Haas having one cage match in 2003 let alone 147.

Wow I'm an idiot! Cage match is the name of the site lol so it's the most matches in general in the US or Canada

Very interesting though I definitely would have guessed wrong on the majority of these years

Brian Pullman Jr. has the most with 70 in 2020...fucking covid

apparently john wayne murdoch had 135 death matches last year because i don't think he has regular matches...

Bobby Eaton had 336 matches in 84 lol

1998: Billy(191) I'm assuming that's Billy Gunn since he did go by Billy even though that wasn't until late 2001

Lol, 1998: Billy

Interesting stuff. You’d expect some of those guys to have wrestled more, but I guess the records aren’t complete.

Charlie Haas getting on there is interesting. A few names surprise me. Myron Reed seems to be working hard.

I’m sure I’ve read about Kane, Dean Ambrose and Sheamus having worked the most matches over the course of a year before, but they don’t appear on this list where I thought they would.

Kane in 1999 seems one of the most believable to me now that I think about it. It's fun to go back each year and kind of break down what the wrestler was doing month by month/program by program

Oh dang. WWE is pulling out of the stadium show for MITB, presumably because of poor ticket sales or Sgt. Slaughter calling in another bomb threat.

Always seemed pretty crazy to do a non big 4 stadium show in the same month you’re doing a big 4 stadium show

That “big 4” has quickly become a “big 1”. The fact that they even tried to expand it is insane.

Sasha and Naomi calling in a bomb threat is probably the reason though.

how unprofessional!

Gormless, one might even say.

Money in the Bank was a weird step in that direction. 2011 was an awesome PPV, but is it really hot enough to justify a stadium in the same month as another stadium show? The Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and one other fit the stadium billing. This year it’s Clash at the Castle.

AGREED!

MITB felt more important than Survivor Series in terms of being “big 4” worthy but it still didn’t feel THAT important since most MITB reigns/cash ins were forgettable.

I miss when Survivor Series was good :( it’s been ages

They tried to make Survivor Series special again by making it “the one night you can see Raw vs Smackdown (and temporarily, vs NXT)”.

It turns out there’s a limit to the bullshit people will believe just because you say it’s a big deal.

:lol:
