AEW deliver on shit. It’s made me appreciate the WWE way more, because I can now recognize the things they actually do and why they do them. Listening to smarks should be way low on their list.

Any idea who MSK is? Rumored to be

The Rascals from impact.

i hope nash carter is going to be related to dixie carter

WWE DOES listen to smarks though. Constantly. It’s the sole reason Daniel Bryan ever became a thing. They caved to the smarks. But then they back off eventually because it doesn’t work for the mainstream. And then they go back. Rinse and repeat.

I respect a company who can pick a lane more than one who can’t. Even if that lane is full of potholes. Fucking own it.

Think Kurt needs to look into what Beastiality actually is. :wtf:

Or he was just calling Booker's wife a dog?


That shit reeks of something word-for-word from VKM. Kurt almost sounds like Vince when he says it.

The same guy that posted all the WCW C shows and all the Shotgun Saturday Nights has posted all the 2005 and 2006 episodes of Velocity on youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAX...2vVS64YUA4uEYQ

Simon Dean was so fucking great

Well, if Kurt likes to fuck dogs presumably there's easier ways to go about it than fighting a dogs husband to get to the dog. :lol:

lol remember The Dicks?

"There's nothing my broadcast partner Steve Romero likes more than a couple of Dicks!"

:(

lmao there's a lot of that during their matches.

BTW, Steve Romero is awesome. Maybe not as a lead announcer on RAW, but he was fun on Velocity.

I remember it was a bit of a bummer not having a B-show for SmackDown anymore. It only ended because ECW needed to be taped when Velocity was getting taped. But then eventually SmackDown and ECW did a "talent exchange" or whatever.

Daniel Bryan has way more appeal than just to smarks. Dude is an all-time great. He’s got the selling, psychology, charm and charisma down. I’d agree that the WWE probably does listen to the worst fans too much though.

Velocity was great. Used to watch it every week. There were some killer matches featuring Paul London on there. I watched him against Frankie Kazarian so many times. He also had an awesome series against Akio. Paul Burchill had a couple of fun squashes on there too.

The best C-show announcer of the era, to me, is/was Scott Stanford (he still works there, but doesn’t do commentary). My favorite will always be when David Hart Smith was working Zack Ryder on Superstars or something. DH Smith was wearing a cowboy hat for no reason. Smith shoulder tackles Ryder and then does this weird dance and Stanford, in a serious announcer voice goes “Tex is shaking his hips. Tex is shaking his hips.”

Fucking amazing.

Thank you!

Good find. Velocity was the shit.

Lots of matches featuring "The Gymini" in early 2006

And he cuts out all the commercials and recaps. Just matches

I want to hug this guy.

I've literally watched all the 96-98 WCW Prime's Pro's and Worldwide's. Usually while I'm working on emails or some work shit.

I remember the ending to this match being crazy when I saw it. It's a wonder London isn't paralyzed.

"

Today is the 20th anniversary of the Sid leg break in WCW :eek:

I haven't seen an owenbrown post in forever!

London and Kendrick were such a fun team. Who was doing pbp? He was pretty good.

The guy I spoke about earlier: Steve Romero. I thought he was great. He'd yell "ohhhhh" every time he saw a cool move or a hard strike. I think he replaced Bill DeMott
Romero and Josh Mathews were a fun team

Went back and watched the 4 Akio vs Paul London Velocity matches. So friggen good.

Akio ended up being Jimmy Wang Yang right? Remember him being really good. He was crazy young during his WWE runs.

Yeah, he's still only 39 years old

Wanna feel old. Jimmy Wang Yang has a daughter who wrestles.

Jimmy Wang Yang was wrestling on WCW television at 18 years old.

That's amazing all things considered

DSOTR are doing an episode on Johnny K9/Bruiser Bedlam. This is going to be the sleeper of the season. He wrestled a lot in my city and all the old indie guys from his era have stories and stories about him.

Jeff Hardy has him beat by a year or 2, he was 16 or 17 when he was first on tv.

I'd give it to Anita Realman. :shifty:

Hailey Berry can get it too

Hypothetical: Imagine WWE still had crowds of some size.... would Vince give an anti-masker gimmick to someone, and would the fans boo or cheer him?

That video was really cringe/not funny

best logo of the 3 is Dallas

I'm honestly surprised we didn't see a maga inspired wrestler after the Swagger attempt, or a maga inspired authority figure.

Feel like Vince wanted to do a MAGA/anti-mask gimmick but the shareholders advised against it lol

Lol oh yeah. I mean, it wouldn't be overly difficult to run the gimmick without being obvious. Have a new heel rise to power, let him cut promos where he's making obvious lies and appealing to the lower card guys, and slowly have him build up a following where he's nearly untouchable until whoever you wanna make as a babyface star comes along to dethrone him.

Anti-vaxxer gimmick would be better. Wrestler rises in the rankings dominating his opponents each week and then dies.

I was listening to Cornette’s “take” on Jericho having COVID and I’m sure he suggests someone (maybe even Jericho himself) having a Pro-Trump gimmick and him being the biggest heel on the show. I’m not so sure.

So basically Sam Adonis's gimmick

Having looked up who that is; I guess so yeah. But being Pro-Trump/anti-Mexicans when you’re working in Mexico probably would make you a heel. In the US you’ll closer to Bret’s Heel in the US/Face in Canada gimmick.

Prrrrrrrrrrrety sure that me and 1000000 people had the same...idea. lol

Asuka is almost 40. Never would've guessed.

Listening to Undertaker's appearance on Joe Rogan

"Too much pretty and not enough substance". I get what he's saying but it's hilarious coming from a guy with an eight minute entrance.

Of course, he apparently didn't criticize the booking. Just the wrestlers.

Could you imagine 1997/1998 Steve Austin fanboying over 2021 Steve Austin and taking a stunner?

Okay that sounds ridiculous. But imagine Greg Valentine came back for a legend's night back in 1998, and Steve Austin bumped for him.

That's pretty much main problem with WWE. Obviously, it's a symptom. But they book their guys like a bunch of simps for the company. While I understand how some wrestlers "loving wrestling" growing up is cool, but not everyone should be like that. There should be some nasty dudes who do it for a paycheck. Some guys who don't care about history and want to be the best. And none of them should be intimidated by 87-year-old Undertaker.

That's because Vince doesn't want to run the risk of anybody ever becoming bigger than the brand ever again.

I get that. And it has some amount of logic to it, I guess, in a twisted way.

But there's got to be another way of doing it besides making everyone the punkest of bitches. I guess at least Roman seems cool now.

It took them long enough with Roman. This is what people have wanted for ages. Trying to force him through as a white meat babyface was cringe.

Sure as fuck isn't wrong!

He is very right. They are missing most of their true maulers, that's for sure. Braun out, Brock not signed, Joe announcing. Neither Drew or Roman are working that style. They need like 4 more Sheamus clones like from Multiplicity to really ramp it up.

Taker also said he used to roid up

DSOTR doing an episode on Kanyon this season reportedly.

Taker is Awesome hilarious seeing Reditt have a pansy meltdown:rofl::rofl::rofl:

There's a lot I don't know about Kanyon so I'm interested in that.

He believes in your QAnon theories too.

No surprise there. Imagine what HGH would have/could do for his body.

It's a really sad story. I won't spoil anything.

I haven't listened much yet but I'll never forget that chair shot Taker gave him on that episode of Smackdown.

He fucking crushed him with that shot

Will never forget Heyman standing by the Smackdown set and saying "He's a human being!"

The chair shot was because Kanyon had finally come out to the locker room right? He wanted to go public with it and WWE said no and then booked Taker to beat the shit out of him?

That can’t be true.

Here’s how David Bixenspan describes it from his review of Kanyon’s book:

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...is-a-must-read


I guess it could be coincidental. But I dunno it sure sounds like it. Maybe I’m reading too much into it.

Bix tends to read too much into things

Also I about shat myself that Ryan Clark wrote Kanyon’s book

But it’s not that Ryan Clark. It’s a better one.

Jesus Christ :nono:

Super rare does NASCAR run on a weekday. Usually due to a weather delay or something.

NHL is everyday.

Interesting.

I could see NXT getting bumped from time to time but I have to think USA Network would be hesitant to bump RAW.

Taker did an episode of Joe Rogan Experience recently that I enjoyed. Brings you back.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck. The Premier League on NBC Sports was the best sports broadcast in America

nhl may but nascar is sunday and sat, thats big for usa getting nascar, but i bet the big races will stay on the big nbc.

OTIS needs to appear on NASCAR to cross promote

more likely drivers will appear on raw kind of like when kyle petty was in the nwo

Didn't some NASCAR guys guest host RAW a few times?

never forget that Kyle Petty was a member of the nWo
