I think Ryan Dunn

Definitely not Steve-O or Johnny Knoxville b/c I've seen them on tv recently

Oh, that's right.

Yeah I think Ryan had an OD several years ago. Steve O is doing well though.

I actually met Johnny Knoxville very shortly after the death of Dunn in a random bar in NYC. I was at a big party and there was tons of people there and I look over to the bar and there is Johnny all by himself looking sad as hell. I saw like two blondes trying to hit on him and he just stared straight ahead. I went up next to him to order a beer and said I was from Knoxville, and we chatted for a second. He gave a little bit of a shit to talk to me because we are from the same place but man he was out of it. That was in like 08 or 09.

We need a deep study of the life and mind of Michael Hayes.

He clearly salutes the flag a different way.

1997 and this still made the air. Could you IMAGINE if this promo aired today

I remember be shocked as a kid watching live that he used that language.

I think WWE should restart the Memphis Territory and take advantage of the old timers they have left. I'm talking Lawler and Jarrett and BG James maybe. Relight the Memphis territory with it's own WWE development, get it an hour on the network weekly and see what happens. I'd love if it was like a character territory where it's all about the entertainment aspect of sports entertainment. I want people to be able to cut promo's that make me want to watch a match.

lol love this promo for all the wrong reasons. Crowd fucking POPS when he calls Goldust a "flaming fag".

Why the gimmick worked so well.

they do the "no he didnt" pop

In a way though it's genuine. Lawler is the heel and that is - well - heelish language to say the least.

In 1997 fag wasn't as taboo. It's still jarring to hear in 2018 but whatever, I love the sheer hatefulness of the language when used by a shit stain heel like Lawler.

he was killed in a car crash...but was drunk

hopefully she's medically cleared this time

I suddenly miss heel Lawler

It was in Evansville, Indiana May 26, 1997 though, which is basically Lawler country from the old Memphis Wrestling/CWA/USWA days. Lawler will probably be always over in this area until the end of time.

This. He was a babyface to them and said a babyface thing to these people. Which is fucked, but also poignant and important/fascinating to see/know.

they didnt pop though. that noise is the jerry springer noise.

oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

it was a pop. Pretty sure they end up cheering him in the match.

I want to say the crowd chanted "flaming faggot" at Goldust during the match.

I hope thats true. Someone confirm it plz

It definitely sounded like an "OH SHIT!" pop more than a face pop.

He didn't OD, he died after driving drunk at high speeds, crashed and the car was engulfed in flames killing Ryan and his friend in the passenger seat. Was a pretty funny dude, sad he went out like that.

Stumbled across some old TNA on Pluto.tv from like 2005... Not sure how popular of an opinion this is, but Abyss's theme was dope.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ES2uWgpgHJU?start=77" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Yeah, it was

TNA had some decent to great themes in the sea of generic and mediocrity that was their music department

I thought it was funny when the crowd popped at Billy and Chuck not being gay.

And they continue to have him be Joseph Park but I suppose there is only so much they can do with the Abyss character at this point. Guy seems to be a lifer for the company so they don't want to release him. Could at least transition to an agent and return as Abyss every once in a while.

Based on early data, RAW likely going to get slaughtered this week in ratings and viewers. Warriors/Rockets Game 7 generated a huge number while Game 1 of the Stanley Cup did really well compared to the last 2 years for numbers.

Seeing 2005 Abyss last night again was kind of a revelation. 2005 Abyss from a physique and mobility perspective is a totally different guy than I'd seen in the past few years on random TNA episodes, but I guess that's par for the course for a big dude who's been wrestling hardcore matches and flying off stages and into thumbtacks for like 15+ years.

Main Event Mafia theme was really solid.

Found this while going down a YouTube rabbit hole trying to find a decent version of Abyss's theme and also trying to verify whether or not it still is his theme or not. I usually think theme mashups are really shitty, but this one's really cool.

It probably doesn't hurt that I think that the Waterproof Blonde version of Just Close Your Eyes is the greatest theme of all time.

Went back and watched the match and unfortunately no

And then you had this

This is not what I expected before I scrolled down to see what video you had.

The obvious bad theme is this one:

Lol jesus christ

VAN CRUSHINATOR

VAN BOBBINATOR

VAN LACERATOR

VAN WEEDINATOR

Which of those is the real lyric?

Or 2011

Was going to post Jeff Hardy's tna theme, but I think RVD's may be more awful.

My favorite TNA theme is still Jeff Jarretts

Yeah but that one isn't terrible. We're talking about themes that tear ear drums.

This is up there with the Bray Wyatt/Skinner mashup. :y:

Suckas gots ta know.

As far as TNA themes, they fell into three categories: the rare good one (say what you want, but I think Syxx's theme was better/more fitting than just about *any* theme he used in WWE), the vast majority of middling production sounding tracks that were supposed to actually be good somehow (like said RVD theme), and the blatant ripoffs (see: Triple X, Tomko, or MCMG).

Jarrett's was okay because it seemed like it actually had some thought put into making it unique. Same with AJ's. And Abyss. I'd even say Amazing Kong and Hernandez were alright (until Hernandez's theme got way overproduced) I won't count 3LK or LAX, because Truth and Konnan have a hand in music, so they had a hand in production for themselves.

Suckers are kind of curious.

LOL!

I miss the Waterproof Blonde version. Quality stuff.

Best mashup I ever heard was The Undertaker ministry theme and Triple H My Time.......

Think it was called My Darkside...... can't find it anymore, though.....

Randomly thinking about the time the "It's Still Real To Me" guy joined the wrestlecrap forums years ago...even posted a pic w/ a wrestlecrap sign to prove it was him...

Two days later deleted his account due to cyberbullying from former TPWW poster The Mercenary.

Haha I forgot that guy even existed. Gonna have to search that video again now.

That's very discerning that one of our own would drive "Real to me" away from what should be a haven.


I spit on this

I remember he kept calling him 'a cry-ass' and quoting all his posts and saying 'are you gonna cry about it'

Wow. We could have "It's Still Real To Me" guy here on TPWW at this point. Fuck Merc.

Merc cyberbullying anyone? Holy fucking shit.

Not only was that guy super dumb, he also looked like your typical basement-dawellng goblin in his late 40s.

Impact is taping 4 weeks of T.V in my city Friday and Saturday. Scott D'Amore's indie fed is run out of my city so there's usually some big name talent coming through here

You should go. I don't watch Impact but I would go to a taping.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ROV2uJSHEnI" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

u should go

Yeah--definitely go. It sounds like Impact has gained some momentum. I haven't watched or followed it much in months and months, but the bits and pieces I've caught or read up on sounds like they're at least trying some new stuff.

If I wasn't headed away on vacation next week I would. Our indie promotion is awesome. Border City Wrestling. The Rock came here in 98 for his only indie appearence. Last show Pete Dunne, Tito Santana and Rey Mysterio appeared, plus a ton of Impact guys since it's D'Amore's fed. Lots of talent have come out of Border City Wrestling: Rhyno, Chris Sabin, Moose, Bobby Roode to name a few. Tyson Dux and Johnny Devine are the trainers here.

Where do they rank in the indies scene in Canada?

Like ROH/Impact tier of upper status or like EVOLVE/PWG where they are more mid-tier but have a very strong following or like lower local level for support.

Pretty high. They routinely draw 1500-2000 and the crowds are very lively. Jarrett actually offered us huge discounts to come up to Toronto for GFW tapings because we were so loud. . They run major shows a few times a year and small shows here and there. I'd put it a notch below Smash Wrestling out of the Toronto area. The partnership with Impact has existed in some sort of fashion since D"Amore started with TNA but it has ramped up great since he took over creative. Guys like Kongo Kong and Idris Abraham are Border City Wrestling guys. I could easily see it become a feeder for Impact.

Used to have a decent one nearby called New England Wrestling Alliance but it shut down a few years ago. Had a few good chances to go to one of their shows in the past but never did because of various reasons.

Biggest in the region is New England Championship Wrestling in Massachusetts which has some past ties to the WWE and John Cena being their biggest alumni.

Sasha being the workhorse of the Women's division is pretty interesting considering her recent injury history and Vince supposedly not being that high on her as a big star compared to others.

She seems fairly "over" by today's standards, so they probably put her on shows to just go out there and fluff about. It doesn't mean it's high profile stuff.

Dolph Ziggler: 508 matches, all of them forgettable

wheres mr main event curt hawlkins on the list

Sasha's promos make her unattractive which is saying something since she's a fox.

Remember Asuka?

Omg this is amazing. Short but so damn effective.

Based on the early stage of the trial and opinions of those following the case, seems WWE's doctor is likely losing his libel lawsuit against Punk.

He's suing Punk for libel but during the trial stated he is only claiming emotional damages, admitted Punk's claims have not hurt his job status, and seems he did the lawsuit because of people ridiculing him online and not solely because of Punk's statements.

Making things worse for the doctor is several text messages and evidence that showed him acting in a non-professional and juvenile way towards those that seeked his medical help in the WWE.

Also seems the doctor might have opened himself up to a lawsuit from Punk and risking his medical license since it got revealed he likely violated HIPAA by disclosing Punk's medical history to others without his knowledge.

I found the greatest twitter ever. It just posts crowd signs from the Attitude Era. Lol Holy fuck.

Omg I'm dying " Patterson 3:16 says I just bruised your colon"

"My cock says know your role and open your mouth"

NASCAR IS FAKE sign pinned.

Laughed a lot at those two

Tremendous account

Funny thing is there is a possibility some of those could have been made by the WWE themselves since supposedly they used to hand out signs to the crowd prior to shows.

I hope all the shit rat Reddit WWE marks who believe Prichard and think Meltzer is an idiot listen to the Jim Cornette Experience this week

"Kevin Sullivan couldn't book his wife for sex"
