It’s not impossible, but the places that seem to go to battle for Mania seem to be larger media centers. I don’t know much about San Antonio, but they seem to have their place for Texas. But hey, they could do it.

I’ve been listening via YouTube. Ye gods, what have I missed out on?

Mr. Nerfect 09-11-2022 12:25 PM

I don’t really care about the WWE Hall of Fame, but I am intrigued to see what Paul and Stephanie do with it. I can see Triple H being less rigid with a “one posthumous induction” kind of thing. I can see Demolition in, lawsuits aside. I can also see him wanting to put The Midnight Express, which could lead to a great speech from Corny.

Lex Luger, like John Cena, is one of those guys we didn't really appreciate in his prime. His timing was always good, and he had a good look.

It doesn't help that most people remember him now for the promo he cut on "Billy Whathisname" and probably being involved with Elizabeth's death.

Yokozuna was a fuckin vibe. Such a shame he couldn’t control his weight because he was an iconic performer with an iconic gimmick. He just got de pushed too quickly to leave the mark he really could have.

Ol Dirty Dastard 09-15-2022 09:49 AM

That the gimmick was around at the same time of E. Honda in Streetfighter probably added to the mystique.

I’m a bit younger, so I didn’t hear anything about Yokozuna, but I do distinctly remember people talking about Rikishi before I became a wrestling fan. I remember a neighbourhood kid making fun of me because I didn’t know he was a wrestler who uses his ass to beat people up with.

Damn. I’ve actually heard of one of those guys. Good pull for a rasslin’ movie.

They’ll need very little hair and makeup help to make that first guy look like a Von Erich.

Crazy how over he actually got with that gimmick.

Mr. Nerfect 09-16-2022 02:54 PM

When I think of WCW, I think about the main event guys, the cruiserweights, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Buff Bagwell and Disco Inferno. It probably helped that he had pretty distinct airtime on all the tapes of WCW I rented as a kid. But he stood out to me. People act like he did nothing in the business, but that’s kind of how you get the most out of the best spot you can get.

Mr. Nerfect 09-16-2022 03:22 PM

There are mumblings that Warner Bros Discovery might sell to NBC Universal at some point after April 2024. I wonder if/how that would affect WWE and AEW if it were to happen?

Mr. Nerfect 09-16-2022 03:24 PM

I wouldn’t be shocked if Triple H and Nick Khan make plays for the AEW timeslots when the AEW deal is expiring. I don’t know if they go at it with WWE programming, WCW or NXT, but I can see them making a pitch.

Bad News Gertner 09-16-2022 03:44 PM

Remember when Disco was Cruiserweight Champ but his gimmick was that he kept having to lose weight before the match to make the weight limit. Good times.

Sepholio 09-16-2022 03:51 PM

Feel like it's safe for me to admit I kinda liked Disco Inferno as a kid.

There was an episode of Sunday Night Heat where Christian did that. I think he ended up making weight to challenge for the title and then quickly lost because he was too tired from all the exercise to wrestle.

Didn't Matt Hardy do this also? Was obsessed with making weight for weeks on smackdown in 2003 I think.

A gimmick so good the WWE actually used it with Matt Hardy.

I don’t think that happens. It might happen one year, but the story is still too raw. I could see Jess McMahon being inducted. Now that people are back and the show is in LA, I think Batista will be happy to headline. Triple H will probably try and smooth over a bunch of broken relationships and put politics aside for inductions — so I can see Demolition going in. I think he’ll reach across the aisle and try and get Regal in. Maybe Mike and Gene LeBell? Victoria for the women. That sort of thing.

I thought Matt had done it as well but I also thought that I could just be making that up in my head

It was around the time of WrestleMania 19, because he defended the CW Title against Rey at that show.

Sepholio 09-16-2022 10:41 PM

Surprised no one has mentioned Bryan Danielson basically announced he's retiring at a Q&A in Vancouver. Said he will never return to WWE and that his current deal with AEW will be the last he ever signs anywhere. It is a 3 year deal and he started last summer so he basically told everyone he is hanging it up in 2 years. Said he wants to spend time being a dad.

Said the reason he won't go back to WWE is not because of anything negative about them or their product but that the way he lives is to always move forward and do new things and that would feel like a step backward to him. The reason he decided to join AEW specifically was because he wants to work in NJPW some and do one more G1.

Destor 09-16-2022 10:43 PM

Ive said it since 04. He's a generational talent. I hope he's able to go out on his own terms

Sepholio 09-16-2022 10:44 PM

maybe someone did mention it and I forgot or missed it, I dunno, but still. Damn @ Dbry hanging them up.

Sepholio 09-16-2022 10:45 PM

Feel like he's gonna win the strap next week after reading that.

Evil Vito 09-16-2022 10:58 PM

Going back to around 2019 or 2020 Danielson was saying his career as a full-time wrestler were coming to an end soon. And at some point after signing with AEW he implied he’d never fully retire but maybe just take special bookings here and there when the time is right.

Who knows. Maybe he does intend on fully calling it a career. He might’ve never wanted to do that but kids change things. So long as he gets to go out on his own terms.

Mr. Nerfect 09-16-2022 11:16 PM

I hope he does get to do it on his own terms. I think he’s the right choice for champion right now.

Mr. Nerfect 09-16-2022 11:21 PM

Cole on SD mentioning PWG just seems so weird. Was talking about Sami Zayns and Ricochet feuding over there back in the day.

Pretty sure Sami Zayn never wrestled in PWG though. His good friend El Generico did, but I don't recall Sami ever being there. What ever happened to El Generico? Wish he would come back.
