Mauro is getting a little ridiculous with the japan shout outs.

Like, okay name dropping Fujinami and Choshu I can kind of get, as they're legends, and the moves they innovated are iconic but....

Katsuyori Shibata? Ryuske Taguchi?

Like 2% of the audience are going to know who you are talking about. You could say it helps bring attention to those guys, but it comes off more as shameless pandering to the smark crowd to me.

Jordan and Gable's theme is fucking terrible. So boring. Sounds like a worse version of Appolo Crews' theme, which is itself not great.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of it myself.

I'm not really a fan of their singlet designs either.

That's exactly what I wanna see while watching Cruiserweights Dumbasses!

I want to see a cruiser weight divison where they can only use rest-holds.

That's a shame :(

I was in Seattle for WrestleMania 19 and noticed crowds gathering outside a hotel. People were waiting for wrestlers to enter/leave during the day. We saw a few while we stood there, one being Rico. He arrived back to the hotel with his girlfriend/wife and rather than ignore everyone or just sign the odd 1-2 (like the others) he made his other half wait while he signed/took pictures with everybody. Even asking at the end "Is that everyone?"

Gave me a new appreciation for the guy. Hope he gets better :y:

Cool King 09-22-2016 04:00 PM

Sakamoto must be desperate for money.

I've just found out that he'll be wrestling at a bar here on Sunday.

Cool King 09-22-2016 04:01 PM

I've just read up on Sakamoto and apparently, during his time with the WWE, he never won a single match.

Emperor Smeat 09-22-2016 04:10 PM

Supposedly the GoFundMe link to help Rico with his medical costs might be a scam since neither Rico nor Kenny Bollin are involved with the campaign.

Bollin recently left a message on the fundraiser page about how the money was going to be sent to Rico since the person in charge never contacted them. Comment itself was later deleted.

Also supposedly Rico had the big misfortune of getting seriously ill only a few months before he would have been eligible to receive a pension as a police officer.

It's a pretty interesting video.

It's good to see that he's happy doing what he's doing and that he's moved on to bigger and better things.

Having "Where Are They Now?" be short videos is so much better than what it was before, which was just an article and a few photos.

I'll be watching the rest in the future.

And that's why Wikipedia should never be trusted.

Big Vic 09-22-2016 04:49 PM

He probably won small time matches...

Edit: Yeah they were all house show matches..... I think?

Eh, that's kind of his gimmick. He's the guy who watches everything so you don't have to. Still pretty surreal to hear him in WWE. I imagine he'll be gone soon when he doesn't fit the WWE's storytelling ideals or whatever.

Emperor Smeat 09-22-2016 07:59 PM

Could also just be a small call back to his time announcing NJPW matches for AXS TV.

What the hell was that all about?

Damian Rey 2.0 09-22-2016 11:33 PM

Prob jealous Kennedy got a push

SlickyTrickyDamon 09-23-2016 12:09 AM

They had a brief feud. Kennedy was probably a cunt.

Anybody Thrilla 09-23-2016 12:11 AM

THAT much of a cunt, though?

SlickyTrickyDamon 09-23-2016 01:03 AM

No, and the thing was that he didn't even seem that angry. It was all deadpan and matter of fact.

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2016 01:15 AM

Kennedy might be the Elijah Burke to Bob Holly's CM Punk.

Holly was rumored to have been taking pain pills out of guys' bags. So he dropped the tag belts, was taken off TV for like 7-8 months, then release altogether.

Supposedly Kennedy was the one who either stooged him out to the office, or made the whole thing up - depending on who you want to believe.

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2016 08:41 AM

I've never heard of that before. I always thought that it was just time for Bob to ride off into the sunset.

JimmyMess 09-23-2016 08:49 AM

I met Kevin Nash last night. Super fucking awesome. Just wanted to tell somebody!

It was his time when he sand bagged Brock and broke his neck.

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2016 09:26 AM

It was probably earlier according to most people. I always liked Holly though. More than I should. If I'm being objective about things, I'm not sure he sticks around post-2000 once Crash starts getting attention.

thekrow 09-23-2016 12:46 PM

Hardcore Holly is a lot like Devastator. A huge bad ass with a bad attitude who cant seem to get along with anyone in the back. Also someone who seems to be good enough to hold the title but just doesn't have the "It" to make it there.

Big Vic 09-23-2016 01:05 PM

I disagree, I always thought Devastator had "It"

Holly did not.
