Nothing worked about that :rofl: Probably wishes he gave him a bigger hiding .

RIP Tim White...what's up with the refs dying. Always liked Tim White as a ref in WWE, I specifically remember the time he pushed Cornette on his ass when he was managing the New Midnight Express.

Please tell me it wasn't suicide... because that would be kinda creepy.

Love 2 Cold Scorpio.

2 cold was a generation or 2 too late. He’d be a star in this era.

He was soooooooo funky

I hope not...there has been no mention about the cause of his death either that I can find but I'm sure it will come out soon.

I think I remember hearing not very long ago that he was very sick

So I had no idea Ed Ferrara did the JR impersonation in the WWF. But that's not the craziest thing about this video. Check out the bump Ed takes from Dr.Death lmao. Apparently it broke Ed's sternum. It starts at the 3 minute mark

For some reason, I think I’ve actually see this before. It was on some documentary about Ed Ferrera or wrestling in general, maybe. I just remember being confused as to why a fan would mock JR so readily, and why it was then okay to physically destroy that fan and why they were doing this with JR.

Tiger Ali Singh has got more life in his promos than a lot of the guys who win a World Title these days. That’s just sad.

Lmaooooo

CBright out of nowhere!

Yeah this what basically inspired Russo to have him play the "Oklahoma" character. I've watched this video a bunch of types and that is a hell of a bump Ferrara takes for someone who isn't actually a wrestler.

Fuck Ed Ferrara, I don't care if he did break his sternum. I think he's a scum bag. Same for Russo too, it's a surprise Vince hasn't had his teeth removed from some disgruntled superstar from the past.

If I was one of the boys especially in this era and one of those skinny fat mark exec's wanted to inject themselves into the show, I'd have given them plenty of reason to make it a one shot deal.

Bischoff too, too bad that Cat or Zbyszko didn't teach them a lesson for stepping into the ring.

I think Ferrera actually did local stuff. The spot does looks surprisingly good, and I’m sure Williams adds to that a lot, but I think Ferrera had technically bumped before (but I doubt he was any good or anything).

And yeah, I’m not a big fan of Russo or Ferrera and what they left behind, lol.

I think The Cat and Bischoff are actually kind of friends irl. As for your post about injecting themselves in the show and stepping in the ring, Vince McMahon did the same thing but the difference is he was far more entertaining and created possibly the most popular storyline feud of all time with Austin.

Found some XRod porn.

Rhea Ripley out with injury

WWE is cursed this summer

Finn Balor/Damian Priest already relegated to Main Event this week...damn

The Undertaker vs. Ken Shamrock from Backlash ‘99 is an underrated match. It’s got no crowd heat and it’s against the backdrop of the terrible Ministry of Darkness story, but the match itself is actually pretty great.

Shamrock is working like a man possessed against the guy who has messed with his sister. JR is very clear on the call that Shamrock is going to have the advantage on the mat, but Taker is going to be stronger with a vertical base (Man, Taker would not go for that just a few years later when he wanted to be the MMA machine). It’s kind of refreshing to see a babyface take such a clear advantage in a match, and keep going back to that weakness he created.

One of the hidden gems on the Attitude era in terms of bell-to-bell stuff.

One of the things I became most nostalgic for at a certain point was Taker having an entrance where he didn’t take 5 minutes to get to the ring.

I do remember that match, very good match that was more MMA based than most WWE matches at the time.

Shamrock was awesome.

Tbf, the Ministry wasn't bad until it became the Corporate Ministry and it got nonsensical

I think I slept on it because I’m not much of a Taker fan. It really never clicked with me how weird it was that Taker was doing MMA stuff in 1999. And he’s not exactly the driving force of it. He’s responding to what Shamrock is putting out.

I dunno, man — you’re entitled to your opinion, but if you haven’t gone back in a while I wouldn’t recommend it. Maybe leave the memories alone. There’s nothing quite as awkward as hearing a babyface Vince trying to force human sympathy while at the same time talking about Stephanie’s personal possessions in the context of violation. This was prime awful Russo too. The gimmick is that “Mark” believes in the bullshit Undertaker gimmick.

Taker during that era was a rough watch. Especially in 1999.

Yeah lol I watched it back a few years ago the angle was horrible but I mean the concept of the Ministry stable itself wasnt a really bad idea if it didn't go in that direction and it got even worse once the Corporate Ministry was formed and Vince was revealed as the higher power because it made the whole angle make no sense at all.

1999 WWF was a little bit cringe worthy tbh and the continuity and consistency was awful

Lol, Vince McMahon being revealed as the Greater Power is obviously the best example of that. It made zero sense.

1999 WWF is horrendous

When I was first getting into wrestling and was hungry for anything, I remember 1999 being really…jarring to me. For the most part, anyway. I think I knew it wasn’t good the first time watching it. But I was still like “Yeah! Wrestling! I guess…”

I’d say it doesn’t hold up well, but I’m not sure it did even past its initial VHS releases.

No! the other guy has to be facing the other direction for it to be "The Letter H."

:shifty:

Zac Efron headlining a new movie about the Von Erichs.

That’s awesome news.

I just got informed that Hulk Hogan is going to be at some convention here in town in August. My friend thinks I should attend but I have a sneaking suspicion that's just a few steps away from me ending up on the news.
