Weird that he wanted to play Aladdin considering his fear on monkeys. Wonder how he thought that was gonna work out?

Sepholio 01-22-2022 01:22 PM

Almost forgot why I came here. Lio Rush is done with AEW. Letting his contract expire in a couple weeks. He's already taking bookings.

"letting his contract expire." Sure. :shifty:

I'm going to ride past the Aladdin shit, and focus on this. I need to word what I say carefully for the comparison I'm about to make*, but this is very akin to the Owen Hart thing, and good on Ali for standing his ground on that, even to Vince.

Keeping him under contract is pretty petty, though. Especially when the place just got done firing a bunch of people who expected to have a job. And to the comment of "it could be a work", remember, this is the same company who did an angle about firing people AND REALLY RELEASED THEM!



*I almost said "hill to die on" without even thinking about mentioning Owen. I thought better when actually seeing it written out.

I actually remember this from when it happened. Tenta had a tryout match, maybe a quick run on WWE c show's like Velocity I think. So weird because it feels like Tenta should be really old here but obviously he's not. He probably would have been pretty good for Japan at this time, if he wasn't working there already. Japan had a lot of promotions in the early 2000's.

It got down to the final 4: HBK, Edge, Batista and Cena. All four are laying in the ring. Edge had just returned from injury. Striker makes a comment that Edge looks rusty or something like that. Lawler laughs and says "what are you talking about". Striker goes silent lol.

Evil Vito 01-24-2022 09:47 AM

I feel like at the time, most people here dug Striker because he was "one of us". But with the passage of time we realized how insufferable the IWC can be at times and so his commentary really aged like milk.

Haha! I fucking remember watching this. Heenan was the best. Think I went to a house show where he ended up in a match with Bossman after talking about his momma or something? Heenan wasn't a full time wrestler, and I wanna say I recall Bossman bringing down some MASSIVE chain.


I remember it being a thing where Bossman teased the beatdown, but I can't remember if it actually happened. Heenan was doing the chicken shit heel role perfectly, begging in the corner, running, etc.


Ahhhhh, fun times.

Lock Jaw 01-24-2022 10:31 AM

Weird at directly acknowledging the cameras and camera crew, even showing them.... but then ignoring the camera right in front of him at the end. Funny stuff though.... Heenan the man

I think using the “insider terms” (“I’M MARKING OUT, BRO!”) was the proverbial straw. It still takes me out of the work now, really disliked Cody explicitly stating that he’s not turning/going heel. I know kayfabe is dead and all, but it’s just something I’m not keen on.

Lock Jaw 01-24-2022 11:02 AM

My fav Striker moment is always that one time Cena had to join Nexus and had to do something or get fired, but if he did it he would be free... then the match ended with the stip of Cena getting fired and Striker just yells at the top of his lungs:

Striker: CENA'S FREE!!!!!!!!!!
Cole: ........ Cena's fired
Striker: ...... you're right. I'm sorry.

Remember the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry meets the woman of his dreams (played by Janeane Garofalo) because she's the female Jerry, gets engaged but breaks up with her because "I can't date someone like me. I hate myself"

That's the Matt Striker on commentary story.

This is the AEW story. Good intentions gets you a free pass for bad execution, then eventually that goodwill erodes and people start looking back more objectively.

You know who was fucking awesome? Tyson Kidd. He did this submission a couple of times on NXT called “The Dungeon Lock.” He sets it up like a Sharpshooter, but he falls back and captures their arm and wraps his legs around their neck like a triangle. His other leg is free to kick the motherfucker in the head if he wants to.

I remember when CM Punk was calling Superstars and he called Kidd “The Best in the World” during his match before he had hijacked that from Danielson and made it his thing.

Mr. Nerfect 01-25-2022 02:01 PM

All great shouts. I loved it when he challenged for the NXT Title and lost. I think it may have been the first Takeover after Arrival (just called Takeover). They did a post-match interview with him and Heyman where Kidd was trying to act like it’s cool he lost and Heyman drilled in that wins and losses matter and now it’s back to the drawing board for him. Kidd stormed off. It’s hard to explain, but it was really good, subtle drama.

He might not have been geriatric, but something seems... wrong about that age. And what I mean is, if he's 38 in 2002, that means when Dino Bravo did the pushup challenge, it would have made Tenta about 16 - 17 with a full mountain man beard and already rocking heavy male pattern baldness.*

It's tough for me with ECW... here's there story in bullet points.
  • Peacock ECW is unwatchable due to music edits
  • Other footage on Youtube is poor quality compared to Peacock
  • ECW really wasn't that good
  • Basically a shit show with maybe 2 good matches and brawls that could be fun but are probably really bad looking back
  • Most of the wrestlers actually weren't good enough for WWF or WCW
  • Crowd chanting is a bit overplayed at this point, so really what is so enjoyable?
  • So much doesn't pay off due to contract issues

Bad News Gertner 01-26-2022 06:13 PM

I downloaded complete year torrents so I still get all the original music and commercials which I love and in great quality. 95-96 ECW is outstanding but it gets bad fast after Barely Legal 1997. 1998 and 1999 are terrible.

Just watched the Charlie Haas match against Josh Alexander from Impact. I have to say, Haas looked really good. You don’t see much wrestling like that anymore. Josh Alexander impressed me too.

Always liked Charlie Haas. Looking back, Charlie probably came along 15 years too early. Could you imagine peak WGTT around now?

drave 01-27-2022 12:00 PM

The bushwacker elimination from the 91 Rumble is one of my favorites of all time. Just how he keeps walking cracks me up.

Yeah, they'd be in a spelling bee with RKBro.

Bad News Gertner 01-27-2022 12:40 PM

They'd probably be in AEW

Sepholio 01-27-2022 01:48 PM

lmao listening to a Cameo Danhausen sent to Cornette in which explains that the reason he uses teeth as a weapon is because his opponents already have teeth so it can't be illegal to use more teeth on them. LOL

#1-norm-fan 01-27-2022 01:53 PM

Cornette played those on his podcast a few months back. They were brilliant.

Sepholio 01-27-2022 01:57 PM

Danhausen gonna steal the good Dr. from Adam Cole so he can have access to copious amounts of teeth. Or Adam Cole fights Danhausen with an even larger jar of teeth he got from his wife.

One of those things is going to happen or Tony Khan will be cursed.

I always liked guys that has his quiet charisma. Seemed just like a pretty normal dude who was really good at wrestling. By today’s standards, he is FANTASTIC when it comes to holds and stuff, his promos sound way more confident than 90% of guys, and he’s bigger too.

He and Shelton would have been in NXT, tossing people around and people would have called them the new Steiners. They’d probably be split up even earlier, but Haas would have way more chance.

Mr. Nerfect 01-27-2022 03:31 PM

The Haas of Pain is just a fucking brilliant submission move.

ron the dial 01-27-2022 03:32 PM

yeah i'm surprised no one uses it currently (although i suppose i just might not be aware of someone that is).

Mr. Nerfect 01-27-2022 03:35 PM

The guys with amateur wrestling backgrounds are the ones WWE are taking an interest in now. AEW has virtually none that I can think of. If WGTT weren’t in WWE, I think they’d actually probably be splitting their time between American indies as the hottest tag team act there (maybe as THE stars in ROH, helping to prop it up now), or as THE gaijin team in New Japan. Maybe even in Impact too. There are some bigger and more technical dudes there too.

ron the dial 01-27-2022 03:36 PM

the only person on the AEW roster i can think of off the top of my head with a legit amateur wrestling background is leyla hirsch.

I always thought that Haas was like Curtis Axel where he tried too hard to be charismatic, especially when they got the rep of not being charismatic. It's one of those thing where you are if you are. I don't think it's as much of a detriment now than it was back then though.

SPOILER: show
Sheets are reporting that Shane McMahon will be making his return as will notable TPWW poster BAD BUNNY!

RP 01-28-2022 06:50 AM

I dont want to see Shane McMahon or Bad Bunny in the Royal Rumble. WWE fucking sucks so bad.

RP 01-28-2022 06:51 AM

So that's Johnny Knoxville, Bad Bunny and Old Shane McMahon taking spots away from actual wrestlers on the roster in the Royal Rumble.


Fucking terrible product. I hope WWE ends soon.

fundiddle 01-28-2022 07:18 AM

drew never took it seriously. he could have had a shot at the title at mania, and he voluntarily eliminates himself. i hope wwe gives this legend and hall of famer the opportunity to redeem himself and really get a chance to shine, maybe even with bunny and knoxville in a couple of days. we've waited long enough!

Sepholio 01-28-2022 07:44 AM

I don't mind Bad Bunny tbh. He was actually pretty entertaining last year and did wayyy better than I expected.

Shane I really hope isn't in the match and is just returning at the Rumble for some kind of on screen role maybe.

drave 01-28-2022 07:56 AM

Danhausen for #27

Sepholio 01-28-2022 07:59 AM

Danhausen should win and main event RASSLEMANIUR. In fact he should have a match for every title in WWE at WM. And he should win them all and unify all the titles and then sell that title on Ebay for human monies.

drave 01-28-2022 08:01 AM

yes, very nice. then everyone in the wwe universe will send treasures and fanhausen mail or be cursed
