Ken Lucas died and you want me to get clotheslined???

What in tarnation is the explanation for this insubordination??

I oughta edit the piss out of your post

Dirtsheets:

Every wrestler in the indies is under rated to you come on now....

perfect chance for you to turn heel and you blew it.

We've covered this already.

Ken Lucas was hardly some no name job guy. He was one of the best wrestlers to compete in the Southeast/Gulf Coast area in the 60's & 70's.

I guess since he's not heard of by most we should ignore his passing. I don't consider every worker from the 60's to the 80's to be underrated.

people like Ken Lucas, Don Greene, Jerry Kozak & Billy Robinson were fantastic workers. So they weren't known on a national scale? I guess them dying should be ignored.

Ken Lucas was one of the most beloved faces in the 60's and 70's in the Gulf Coast territory.

If he was hardly a no name job guy, and one of the most beloved faces of the 60's and 70's, then he wasn't underrated.

And people here would know who he was.

I just think he could've been a bigger star had he left the southeast/gulf coast territories. He was underrated when looking at the best babyface workers of all time.

Guy on the left kinda looks like Iginfest (if I remember Igin's pics correctly).

Why does he need to spit out that bit at the end? I mean seriously? He couldn't finish off that one little gulp he had in his mouth? What a waste.

Don't think he swallowed a single gulp. Maybe he hates milk.

that seth rollins shirt borders on hilariously bad but is actually just bad.

That song is bomb dot com whatever that is.

I don't even need to hit play.

To be fair, Joe Blanchard's territory was awful. As was Joe Blanchard.

Also IT HAS THE FUCKING # SYMBOL IN THE TITLE. IN THE TITLE.

I like Sami Zane, but dude needs a better gimmick. So far all I'm getting from him (and his tights) is "I'm happy and I've wrestled all around the world!" Well that latter part bugs me. He may have been all around the world, but now he's wrestling in the same arena week after week after week after week. I know it's not his fault. It's how NXT is runs. It's one central location in the heart Death's waiting room (Florida).
At least let him talk about his travels more often. Let him brag about winning (possibly fictitious) titles in Cambodia and Madrid. Let him discuss how he wrestled all over the world, seeking out the best competitors. Let him do something more.

As a worker I've loved this guy since I stumbled upon a Generico highlight video. When I heard WWE signed him I was STOKED (and slightly relived they didn't keep the Generico gimmick with the name "Lucha Joe") but now he's... He has all the right pieces. They're just not fitting together at the moment.

I think it looks like Hunter is literally holding the title in abeyance.

Kind of fits his X-Men-ish ring gear, though.

Seems like shirt they'd give to him if he was still in NXT. Not the shirt that a future World Champion deserves.

JBL is people.

JBL is a wrestling (announcing) Gaaaaaaaawd MACKLE!

I'd have to disagree. Southwest Championship Wrestling was an outstanding territory for its time.

It had guys like Scott Casey, Wahoo McDaniel, Gino Hernandez, Tully Blanchard, Dick Slater, Dick Murdoch, Jim Duggan, Bruiser Brody, Eric Embry, Adrian Adonis & more.

WE THE PEEPLE

Get your podcast going Seth/Gertner. This could be a full episode with you yelling at each other.

And now, in no real order...
10 people who should have made it bigger in the WWF/E
*Now with half assed explanations*

10- Vader
This dude was a legit monster, who many feel was held down by backstage politics. He was over as hell everywhere else he went. Perhaps he was given an unfair shake, or maybe it's a case of "you can't win 'em all." The man they call Vader should have been the man they call WWF World Heavy Weight Champion at least once.

9- Brutus Beefcake
While he wasn't a total jobber, you'd think the guy who carries Hulk Hogan's bags would have gotten a little more spotlight than just Hogan's sidekick. I mean, come on. He was Hogan's lapdog everywhere he went. Let's jump into WCW where he followed him. He was a prat of the nWo, and the man who "infiltrated" the Dungeon of Doom. I wouldn't be surprised if he lives Hulk Hogan's basement surrounded by boxes upon boxes of failed Hulk Hogan merchandise.

8- Marc Mero
This man was adept to many wrestling styles. He could be on the bigger side of a high flyer, the smaller side of a brawler, very exciting, could play a great face and a terrible heel. I feel his run got overshadowed by Sable.

7- Chris Candido
Not "Skip of the Bodydonnas", but Chris Candido. His gimmick was toxic (at least Mero had it better in the gimmick department), and ended up with him being managed by some random (alleged) transvestite. Kinda like Mero, he got out preformed by a beautiful woman.
Honorable mentions of a great wrestler ruined by a gimmick- Shane Douglas, Matt Bourne

6- Kenny Dykstra
The main mouth piece of the spirit squad could have been bigger than just a male cheerleader turned into a total nobody. This is just a tragic case of a young kid with everything to prove in front of a fan base that wants everything delivered to them on a silver platter.

5- Rene Dupree
If there's one group the Canadians can make fun of, it's the French Canadians. Why? Everyone hates the French. He played a great arrogant heel. This man could have been a place holder champion to pass the World title from one face to the next. While I never saw him as a solid main event player, he could have been compared to The Mountie.
Honorable mention for "Foreign Bad Guy who could have been bigger"- Kenzo Suzuki.

4- Paul Burchill and Katie Lea
Take the border line incest out of it, and Paul Burchill and Katie Lea could have been amazing. There was great chemistry between them (if you ignored the fact that they were meant to be siblings). That duo could have used each other to get what they want. They both looked good, they talked good, but I feel they didn't get the right exposure. Paul was an English man, then a pirate, and then someone who might be having sex with his sister... One of these things is not like the other...

3- Drew McIntyre
3MB.... 'nuff said.
Honorable Mention- Jinder Mahal

2- Haku
Aside from the sporadic fandom he gets from the people, right here, on tpww.net *#CheapPop* that dude was legit tough. I'm not saying he had "it" to be in the main event scene for a long period of time, but he could have been an awesome body guard, gun for hire, or corporate goon. Would have loved to see Haku vs Ken Shamrock in the attitude era.

1- Eric Bischoff
He didn't have to take bumps. He didn't have to wrestle. All he had to do was talk. I'm fairly sure he was given his run until Vince felt he was done with him. As a figure head, and a mouth piece, I still feels he has a LOT to offer to the industry.
On the creative side he's a bit of an ego-maniacal douche, and perhaps not the best person to do business with, but as a persona, he still has what it takes.
Did he have a good run in WWE? Yea, of course he did. Hell, most of the people I mentioned had a good run (and possibly as fair of a chance as time and circumstance could have given them). There could have been more from all of these guys if they were given the right chances, and avoided bad luck.

Lol fuck, Eric Embry. Southwest was the red headed step child of the Texas Territories.

I've been re-watching ECW TV now from 1995 to 1997.

Barely Legal seems to have been almost the beginning of the end for this company. Their tv was decent up til around late summer and early fall of '97. After that it seems to drop off considerably.

I think the whole WWF Invasion, poorly booked ppv's following Barely Legal, turning Bam Bam Bigelow face for no reason and then turning him heel right away all led to the demise of this once great company.

WCW took Raven, Richards and Saturn soon after Barley Legal that was the beginning of their problems. Then they started poaching talent for no reason like the Sandman. WWF only took guys when it was pretty much over except for the Dudley Boyz.

The WWF Invasion was great for ECW it got them great exposure for the PPV.

I have to admit it was pretty cool to see Jim Cornette in the ECW Arena.

I was sorta talking about the angle that ECW ran with having a Team WWF stable in ECW. They should've ended after Dreamer won against Lawler at Hardcore Heaven.

Instead they continued with it by bringing in people like Brakkus, Furnas & Lafon & Droz. This was all led by a guy named Lance Wright who carried a circa 1986 WWF flag.

He should've ended the streak. And 'takers too.

On second thought, my previous post is shit.

which of the 21,162 previous posts are you referring to?

#12,480. Not too proud of that one amigo.

You should be proud of it. It was a legitimate statement and I applaud you for having the gall to post it.

I dont know. Personally I found it crass and abrasive. My child accidentally ran across it and we've been in therapy twice a week since as a result.

You mean "We the PEEPS!"

I'm only reqoting this for the Sandman part because I have a question: anybody know where I can find a clip of the moment where he was standing in the ring smoking a cig and blowing the smoke in Bischoff's face?

Watched that goddamn motherfucking WWE Scooby Doo movie with my son(I KNOW!! DAMN HIM!!! HE HAS A FAMILY!!!) and damn it's outdated. Felt like that arrghh fucking movie just came off.

but did you turn heel on your son and hit him with a steel chair?

That dude on the right is such a Hip Hop Hippo.

I'm not Chris Benoit

True.

But you still never answered the question.

Unless you're embarassed because your thun turned heel on YOU, yaundastanwhatimtalkin'bout.

Watching that gif while listening to the song from the new Paul Heyman DVD.

there is no limit to what a fathuh wood do fo hih thun

I miss Maurice!

Man, I've just learned The Miz is married to Maryse.

That lucky fucking guy.

Don't know why they're doing this Hollywood gimmick to get heat.

He could come out every week, just show that picture, and say "I'm married to that."

He'd probably get put in the Maurice dog house for calling her "that."

this was one of many reasons the WWECW brand was a complete joke/disaster.

Not as bad as Trashley being champ. Vince was a step-up from that boring piece of shit.

Wasn't McMahon also WWE champion?

For those who don't post in casual. Vince McMahon thinks my story is cool. :cool:

Think you've pretty much stolen Krispys gimmick now.

Just wait for the Krispy's brainstorm.

"Hmmm, terminal illness attracts higher profile celebrities. I should go with that"

I was thinking the same thing when I was hanging in the production meeting with John Lauranitis, Y2J, Charles Robinson, and Justin Roberts. Before I went and hung out in catering with Kane, Miz, Kofi, Jey Uso, RVD, Cesaro, Sheamus, R-Truth, Fandango, Luke Harper, and Bray Wyatt. Oh, and Nikki Bella. And that was all before Ric Flair came to congratulate me for getting engaged, and hugged Shakiya, Mikala and I.


Name droppers are the worst.

Oh, Bill DeMott and el Generico were sitting behind me in the arena too.

Pffft mid carders

Pretty sure Shakiya and Mikala are more famous than some El Generico fuckwit.

tazz, man, im so happy for you. sincerely.

Ric Flair the mid-carder. Woooooooo

He's no Scott Norton.

But then again, who is?

Vince is very chatty I see.

Cool

That's what happens when you get writers to script all the talent's promos for them?

Awesome !!

Here's a few pics I took at the Melbourne show. I'll post more later.

Love the first shot.

I also really, really hate that Miz has stolen Tyler Breeze's gimmick and makes it look terrible too.

Tazz, what did the crowd do during the proposal?

I ask as I've seen guys propose at soccer games and the crowd gave him an intense "You don't know what you're doing!" chant. Soccer fans aren't particularly civilised though. Mind you, Australian wrestling fans are probably no better.

Congrats.

Also, Mikala missed an opportunity to get a "YES!!" chant started.

Or, an epic heel turn.

Heel turn?....Like a "NO!" Chant? lol
