Also, Vader was definitely a bigger heel in WCW than Rude.

So, then, is cock fingering occurring in this thread as we speak?!

Oddly enough, I barely remember Rude in WCW, outside of his one Janet Jackson ripoff theme and actually seeing Raw/Nitro where he appeared on both shows the night it happened and actually being confused because I thought "with the whole
DX/n W o/Kliq connection, why is he shitting on Shawn Michaels?"


*note: it keeps autocorrecting "n W o" to "now" if I run it together.

HAH! STANHOPE!

Deuce and Domino vs Cryme Tyme on NXT

Still don't understand the Cryme Tyme comparison. Is it merely because they're black guys? Because they seem to be collectively aping MVP more than Shad or JTG in any capacity.

That match made me really miss Deuce and Domino. Damn you NXT. Hope the Street Profits work well. Angelo Dawkins has been in developmental for awhile and he started around the same time Sasha did.

I'm watching Black vs O'Reilly from a couple weeks ago. V good "ring psychology." working a body part and selling it. Good stuff.

Have never seen reDragon b4 these matches, seems like they will be a really fun team to watch.

Very racist comment by Guru Dave.

Good to see Sonjay Dutt as WWE Champion

Apparently PROGRESS' first ever show in NYC ended up being a huge mess. Not in regards to the in-ring stuff since outside of one wrestler getting hurt, people there said it was great.

Just everything else being a huge and possibly illegal mess. Most of the blame going around is towards EVOLVE side of the event since it was a double-header and EVOLVE's Gabe Sapolsky not making sure things were accommodated for PROGRESS' event. Tommy Dreamer got dragged in a bit for the blame since supposedly he was the one who recommended to Gabe to use the place for the event.

The stuff about "no running water" got clarified to not be true by someone who went to the event but everything else related to it being true. Said it was a lot more areas that were damp or slippery for walking.

show bobs an vegena :'(

... so he can be chokeslammed?!? :shifty:

Yeah, I can see how offensive confusing to skinny white boys with an Andrew Dice Clay cosplayer and a then closeted Samoan could be viewed as racist.

Del Rio/El Patron being a dumbass during GFW's investigation with the Paige domestic violence situation turned a potential reinstatement this week into another indefinite suspension again for him.

Rumors were GFW was going to reinstate him for this week's set of tv tapings because they didn't want another month of no GFW World champ for Impact but got pissed at his recent attitude and him publicly boasting of GFW wanting him back soon. They decided to just strip him of the title and keep him suspended instead as punishment.

Also probably not going to be happy of him trying to say on Instagram it was entirely his idea to be stripped of the title and not something GFW wanted to do or had plans for.
http://www.pwinsider.com/article/111...nship.html?p=1

Interested to see what they do with the title now and the shows being "live" this week. Lashley vs Sydal could very easily turn I to a GFW Championship match now. Not exactly a loltna moment in my opinion and probably a good decision.

Matt Sydal being in a world title match would be pretty lolTNA.

Lol I totally did not remember this story about Brutus Beefcake

In February 2004, Leslie caused an anthraxscare at one of Boston's MBTA stations,Downtown Crossing, where he was working at the time. He had left a bag of cocaine in his booth, which a subway rider spotted and assumed to be anthrax. The building was evacuated as a precaution. Leslie checked into a drug rehabilitation facility after admitting that the cocaine was his

dammit Brutus

I blame Lex Luger.

Better than Jinder still

Is it obvious that Dean Ambrose is gonna turn heel on Rollin's at Summerslam?

I hope so. Ambrose is so far overdue for a heel turn.

That'd be refreshing.

Doubt it. They'll win the titles before he turns.

That kid is a legend.

That kid might be the greatest human being of all time.

Wouldn't be surprising, but I can also see them getting a run. It's not like there's much better for them to do. They can always feud later.

Ambrose Rollins should help Roman win the title and confuse fans

I like Ambrose and Rollins..but I hate Roman...

I could see them doing the classic "one partner eliminates the other in the Royal Rumble and then they feud into WrestleMania" storyline.

Probably needs to be scolded.

It's all fun and games until the kid who got such a positive reaction for slapping some ass goes a-rapin'.

Its probably all downhill from there for that kids ass slapping

It's a bit daft that WWE officials never check the Money in the Bank briefcases for the actual contract it's supposed to contain.

If I go abroad and I'm asked for my passport, I can't just hand the person my backpack and be on my way.

You should give them your backpack horizontally and confidentially.

oh god that is so me. cept I don't have any friends.

Re-watching some 1999 Raw and Smackdown. My fucking God is late 1999 WWF terrible.

I've been re-watching random Raw matches on YouTube from 1993-1995... My god was Vince over the top on commentary....Un-Be-Lievable!

It wasn't that bad.

http://1.media.dorkly.cvcdn.com/99/2...9e1334b764.gif

lol Big Show vs Bossman angle definitely at least puts 99 above the HHH reign of terror years.

:lol:

Jimmy(?) Uso corpsed so fucking bad :lol:

Remember when Scott Steiner came to the ring with the tiger those couple of times in 2000. What the fuck was that? And how badly did that shit everyone up?

I posted this a while ago, but Vince during Men on a Mission Entrances is fucking hilarious

Had a dream where Ric Flair was talking to a doctor in the hallway. Felt very emotional as he seemed healthy.

I hope WWE works with Jon Jones and lets him cost Brock Lesnar the title.

Probably fake considering the source (Sportskeeda) but rumor going around the net for why Enzo is in a shark cage for the Big Cass vs Big Show match is because WWE knows he has a fear of heights and their way of punishing him for recent issues.

It feels right though.

lol new GFW belts look like children's toys. Best is the little owl peeking out at the top of the x division title.

According to PWI, a deal between the WWE and Shelton Benjamin has finally been signed. PWI's WWE sources teased his debut is going to happen "very soon" although didn't confirm if he's still heading to the Smackdown brand.

I wonder if they'd be crazy enough, if they were to ever, by some circumstance, to allow Kurt to wrestle full-time, and of course if Shelton were signed to RAW, to reform Team Angle as a traditional, two-man team. Not saying necessarily they should, but obviously if it were done right, it could be amazing.

Jason Jordan and half-brother, Shelton Benjamin.

The half is the mother's side, obv.

I don't nor have I ever gotten the fuss about Shelton. He's the least charismatic black man in wrestling history

Good hand for mid card matches. Not everyone has to be buck zumhofe.

Rock and Roll baby

No he isn't. They have Jason Jordan now.

And Apollo Crews

Shelton is worse

"The Gold Standard" to be Goldust's new project?

I'm not sure Shelton is worse than Apollo Crews in the charisma category....

As far as black men go in WWE, charisma wise, its New Day, Titus, and then everryyyyyyyone else is so far behind.

What about R-Truth or John Cena

Road Dogg is the best black wrestler in history

Lol listen to this: Remember when Paul Ellering and the Road Warriors had that puppet Rocko? Well there were talks of Rocko coming to life and being played by.....Bob Backlund

Momma Benjamin better be returning with Shelton or the whole thing is a waste

After watching Southpaw, it's now only Apollo Crews below Shelton. Wish the shitty scripts would stop when guys have personality :(

Yeah. Jason Jordan fucking came to life. lol

Shelton's fine, but I just wonder what they really expect to get out of him considering they had him when he was younger and didn't do much anyway. I'm happy for him, but the faith in them is just so stilted.

Best post on this page.

lol this can't be true surely, but it came from DBs mouth

Bryan heard a story that Hot Topic reps were at a Wrestlemania weekend and they asked WWE "hey we'd like to carry some of those bullet club shirts".

and WWE's like "that's not our stuff"

and hot topic is like "Wtf this shirt is everywhere it's not yours? who's is it?"

touche with john cena. truth? meh. personally like him but charisma other than his entrance? blah.

R-Truths heel run means he has the most charisma in the entire company.

I think wrestlers wearing those MMA gloves is fucking stupid. I mean, I know the point is to show they're tough and legit, but they're just making their punches weaker, while other guys go bare knuckle.

I loved it when undead zombie Undertaker wore MMA gloves. It was so stupid.

lol Yeah. Heard that story months ago. It's what led to them carrying NJPW shirts now.

Find myself really annoyed at the Smackdown world title not being blue.

Women's Titles: Raw's is red, Smackdown's is blue
Tag Titles: Raw, red. Smackdown, blue
World Titles: Raw, red. Smackdown... black.

Triggers my OCD like a motherfucker.

Well, the RAW and SmackDown Women's titles are white with the center plates depicting their respective brand exclusivity. More fodder for your OCD :)

It's THE Belt. It can't be blue.

It will probably turn blue just because I said that.

That's a little annoying too now that you mention it. Thanks.

I wonder if this is the version of the United States title that is used at house shows.
