You're right, I was referencing the FIP World Heavyweight Championship and not the WWE United States Championship. Trent Barreta scored a huge upset against Drew McIntyre when he rolled him up as Drew was looking to toss Barreta to the outside. This was made out to be a huge upset. Trent's finishing move is the Gobstopper, which is the Busaiku Knee which Daniel Bryan has also adapted into the Knee Plus. A Gobstopper is also a type of candy treat (sweet). By changing the spelling of his name, he gets to keep using it on the independent circuit, sidestepping any (if there are any) trademark infringements he may be stepping on. Trent Barreta and Caylen Croft were The Dudebusters (that was my dodgy 80's comedy reference, and "Croft" was linked to the 90's video game character, Lara Croft from Tomb Raider), but Croft was released whilst Barreta stayed on the roster as a singles act. After leaving the WWE, Barreta would form a team with Chuck Taylor (who shares his name with a type of shoe) called "Best Friends." Trent Barreta worked tryout matches for the WWE under the ring name "Greg Cardona," the surname of which is the real name of WWE Superstar, Zack Ryder, who trained in the same facility as Barreta. |
#4 sounds like Chavo in some parts but others I can't really link with him.

You nailed it again. A lot of my clues are pretty abstract.
|
* Chavo Guerrero was a former ECW Champion. Some people may try to press the case that it is a World Championship, but others (including the WWE), would probably say that it isn't.
* Chavo competed as "Lt. Loco" in WCW. * He won championships in WCW, WWE and TNA. * As Lt. Loco, he used a Tornado DDT I once read was called the "Loco DDT." I can't find that now, so maybe I was mistaken about that. Whoops. He used a Brainbuster early on in his WWE days. Loco/brainbuster -- just something to do with the functionality of the brain. * Chavo briefly used an STF that was dubbed the "Low Rider" in his SmackDown Six days. * Shaul Guerrero has just left the WWE for the second time. She never won a title and wrestled as "Raquel Diaz." * Chavo competed as "Kerwin White" as part of the RAW brand for a while, and there was a well known referee named Tim White. * He served as a tag team partner to his Uncle Eddie, he brought in his father for a WWE run and he always looked after Aunt Vickie. * Chavo Guerrero dressed up as the Swagger Soaring Eagle and supported Jack Swagger. Mando Guerrero infamously portrayed The Gobbeldy Gooker. Giant bird costumes was the reference with the doning of outfits there. * Chavo wrestled his first match in WCW against William Regal. Chavo would go on to become a WCW Tag Team Champion, Cruiserweight Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion and ECW Champion. William Regal has held the WCW TV Title, WWE European Title, WWE Hardcore Title, WWE IC Title and World Tag Team Titles. Chavo and Regal both spent quite a few years in WCW together, before they both made the jump to WWE. Chavo was at one point the only contracted employee brought over from the acquisition of WCW. * Chavo Guerrero won the Cruiserweight Title from Daffney at one point, and he also lost it to Jacqueline at another point. He also lost it the Hornswoggle, but that wasn't part of the question. |

Also, kinda agree with Batista on not jobbing to Bryan again. It would be one thing if he wasn't leaving and could do something immediately afterwards to protect his cred, but as it stands, losing to Bryan twice then leaving would definitely hurt his credibility as a top heel. Yeah, guy is a douche, but he has a right to protect his image in the business same as everyone else. |
So him losing to Daniel Bryan is going to affect his movie career?
Batista is definitely in the wrong. |

I get the feeling that's from the "Best of Raw: After the Show" DVD.
I've been hearing a lot of good things about the DVD. I'm really thinking about buying it. |

His theme, minus the siren, sounds like it can be a character theme from F-Zero GX.

To be honest, I can kind of see where the "higher-ups" are coming from about the whole Yes! chant.
I personally thought the same at one point. It doesn't matter who you are, if you start saying "Yes!" while pointing in the air with both hands, a "Yes! Chant" will take off. Even Del Rio can do it, albeit without pointing in the air, and he does it in Spanish and he's also a Heel. |
Del Rio doing it might also prove its not just the chant that is over considering the lack of response he gets (either crowd chanting Si or booing him). Same for when they tried to give the Ole chant to the Los Matadores when it was Sami Zayn's.
A few chants like the "Feed Me More" and the whole "Let's Go Cena/Cena sucks" are better cases of the chant being the ting that is over more. |
For a good while, a lot of the crowd chanted "Si" along with Del Rio when he did it. It's only after Del Rio's recent lack of appearances on television that it's died down a bit.

He's never really had a bad theme. They were singing Real American theme on the post-WrestleMania Raw. |

Do they just have behind the scene antics or do they have filmed post-Raw main event matches too?

I don't know if this is legit or not, but:

Unless he wore tights that had a Christian-looking "C" logo on them at one point. In which case, it is just Benoit.
|
lol has to be fanmade. No reason to photoshop something when you have literally thousands of other pics to choose from.

Yeah, I don't know where the Benoit being Photoshopped into Christian thing has came from but that picture is a legitimate picture of Lita and Christian.
It from the "Battle of the Sexes" match at Armageddon 2003. <iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="270" src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x3zrjl?start=590" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3zrjl_chris-jericho-christian-vs-lita-tri_sport" target="_blank"></a> <i> <a href="" target="_blank"></a></i> |

It's mad to think that at one point Ricardo was over and had entire arenas announcing along with him and cheering him on at one point, and now, the only time he's on WWE TV is once a month a PPV's at the Spanish Announce Table. |

Anybody watched these? It's presented by Joey Styles.
They're pretty good and it gives you some interesting facts. Some of which I didn't know, like the fact about the ring at WrestleMania 29. As a guy who really would love to visit the WWE Warehouse, I think these videos are a great idea and I think it's also cool to see some stuff I remember hidden in the background and also when the camera cuts from one thing to another. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/DYL3iSS9hZU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xnK6G0fvsDA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
So what happened to the King of the Ring Throne?

Bryan thanking Connor after winning the title... :'(
|
Stupid allergies
|
very good video, made me tear up a bit
|
|
As fucked up as this may sound. I expected Hunter to kick out of that pinfall attempt by Connor.
|
Also, tears legit streaming down my face.
|
Damn, that Connor vid made me tear up....
This is why the WWE is such an amazing company, outside of what they actually do.... just all the stuff they and their superstars do on the side for various people/causes.... |
This video :(

There would have been three of those videos as I had originally came to post it myself, but CSL had already posted it.
Instead, you all got a gif of a glitched Yokozuna. |
lol that glitched Yokozuna :D
Nah, still crying over that Connor video :'( |

That Connor video will melt anyone's heart. That is one of the best videos I have watched.
Still :'( though. |
Decided to start a new thing here called "Titantron Tuesday". It's got to be Tuesday as we all love a catchy name.
Basically, every Tuesday I'll post a Titantron here of any former or current WWE Superstar during any point in their WWE career, and hopefully it'll kick-start a discussion of sorts, either about the wrestler, the gimmick, the theme, the tron, their fueds, whatever. Hopefully some of my picks will also get some of you thinking "oh yeah, I remember him/her". I'm hoping to find some good ones that are still up on YouTube and haven't been taken down by the WWE yet. It's only going to be WWF/E trons though as WCW's trons were commonly referred to as "TurnerTrons". A "TurnerTron Tuesday" might work, but that would just lead to some sort of "Tuesday Tron War" or whatever. Anyway, the idea came to me a while ago when I was on TPWW and I was really bored as there was really nothing happening, and I didn't want to just post something humorous and then leave. I was looking to have a discussion with someone but I had nothing to talk about. Titantron Tuesday gives us all a reason/chance to talk about many things about the tron/wrestler that's been posted, and at the same time, let's us enjoy some great themes. |

The reason for Richards being the first, is that I find him to be pretty cool, along with his theme, if I'm being honest. I like Richards and his matches are always entertaining. It sucks he never really had much success in the WWE outside of the Hardcore Division, as having Richards be at least a Tag Team Champion with someone would have been really great to see.
I was thinking of saying he should have had an Intercontinental Championship run, but I'm being realistic. I already feel a little bit like Noid (I say that with love) typing all this stuff, so I'm trying to be a little realistic with what I say. I guess he could have been IC Champion during his Right To Censor days. That would have been great to see. Especially if it had happened during Ivory's Women's Championship reign and Bull Buchanan & The Goodfather's Tag Team Championship reign. Speaking of RTC, they were a great stable. They're actually one of the things I remember the most from that time period. I would have liked to have seen them stay together for a bit longer but what we did get was great anyway. I always like to think that with RTC wanting the WWF to think of the children, tone down the sex and violence and all that, that in the end, they "won". They got their way. The WWE being PG these days is pretty much what Right To Censor wanted. But moving on, I also really liked his whole Stevie Night Heat stuff, where he became the self proclaimed General Manager of Heat. I always enjoyed watching Heat more than usual during that time. Maybe during that time, a run as Tag Team Champion would have been good. I was thinking that his partner could have been Crash Holly, as seeing those guys as a team would have been interesting and I'm sure it would have also had it's funny moments. But it wouldn't have lasted long with Crash being released in 2003, then sadly passing away. But hey, Richards always comes across as this really chilled nice guy who would be great to hang out with, and also a very smart man. I wouldn't mind seeing him back in the WWE but I doubt they would have anything for him. Him being a NXT Trainer would be good. I remember hearing that he always helped Vince and Shane train for their matches. So if that's true, I guess he'll be in Vince's "good books". |

I feel bad for not liking Adam Rose yet.
Like I've said before, I really wanted to see him have a match so I could form an opinion of him. So far, I've found him to be annoying. Even just seeing him annoys me slightly. :-\ |
Its a more PG gimmick than what he had on NXT originally. His success will be probably based if he can get a good finish that isn't a Bret Hart mid-match move.

Although I would say his transition from Hunter Leo Kruger to full on creep Leo Kruger was great and his in-ring action then was better than anything as Adam Rose- so far. |
I want to know who Zeb Coulter had covered up on his Deportation List Sign

He is dead you asshole. That's why it got posted.

Yeah, for some reason it quit playing on me about halfway through and I thought it was over.. I reloaded and it played the last half.
|
On a brighter note in that Connor vid... damn, sounded like he stiffed HHH pretty good with that shot. Caught him perfectly to get that good, loud sound.
I legit wonder if/when they build a physical HoF, if they'll at least have a memorial shrine to kids like him and all the Wish recipients and such. Seems like it would be worth doing. |

He did mention on Twitter that he'd let Lana stay as an exception to his no illegal foreigners crusade. |
If they ever turn Swagger face, it should be to feud with Rusev.
|
I love Adam Rose. We need more guys with "over the top" personalities in rasslin'. Too many Cody Rhodeses and not enough Fandangos.
|
Rose has a pretty cool entrance for his gimmick. Quite a catchy tune.
Too bad he will most likely end up working dark matches with Brodus Clay. Cuz WWE. |
Oh I fully expect in about 2 months for his entrance to be taken away and for him to be getting squashed by Alberto del Rio as they prepare ADR for his next two month push.
