Fuck you, Seth. Das Wunderkind was awesome. Watch the opening bout on the Starrcade 94.

Who can forget his awesome heel turn in 1997. WCW had Wright wrestle in several tag team matches with what some might call sub-par tag team partners. Wright and the rotating list of wrestlers he had as partners would usually lose to tougher teams. And ironically, though Wright was still popular on the television programs WCW Pro and WCW Saturday Night, he was losing popularity, and even getting booed by some fans, on Monday Nitro and on some pay-per-views. Some believe that these two things combined began to frustrate Wright. On the May 12, 1997 edition of Nitro, Wright partnered with Ice Train against Konan and Hugh Morrus of the Dungeon of Doom. When Ice Train needed some help, Wright claimed to be unable to continue due to a sudden, unexplainable knee injury and left Ice Train to wrestle the other two opponents by himself. Wright was then pushed as a heel in the summer of 1997. On the July 28 edition of Nitro, he defeated Chris Jericho to win the Cruiserweight Championship. After winning the title, Wright began a feud with Jericho at that point, including a successful title defense against Jericho at Road Wild, before dropping the title back to Jericho on August 16 edition of Saturday Night. However, five days later, he defeated Último Dragón on the August 21 edition of Clash of the Champions to win the World Television Championship.Wright was able to successfully defend the TV title against Lord Steven Regal on an episode on Monday Nitro. Though Regal was also a heel, the fans disliked Wright so much, they often cheered or rooted for Regal during the match.

He was responsible for the greatest Television Champion of WCW/NWO era.

I've always wondered why, seeing how titles can't change hands on DQ, the heel champions wouldn't just start all their matches with a chairshot or get a buddy to interfere like 2 secs into the match.

because the winner makes more money #kayfabe

They need to start pointing that out again, if nothing else it could lead to a few filler feuds if someone keeps interfering in matches, that and time limits on matches, simple stuff they can exploit as quick free angles.

is it just me or is vinnie mac looking alot like bob backlund lately?

LOL @ Vince trying to force Maria Meunonos to basically do a wet t-shirt contest. Wily old man.

I've finally given and decided to get the Network as I don't want to rely on streams. I am contemplating on wether I should get the 6-month commitment deal or the 1-month deal

I'd say get the 6 months. It's well worth it.

If you're not so rich like me, try the month to month. $10/month is much easier to come up with than $60 or so in one shot.

Since I will be charged $ 9.99 on a monthly basis, I might as well go with it.

I am in :D

Saw part of that live a few days ago.

I saw no ice

... beat Sephiroth's undefeated streak at Gold Saucer's Battle Square!!!

Why the fuck do WWE champions carry 2 belts around?

They got unified as far as I know so what's the point?

Is that supposed to be Steph, Ronda Rousey, or Nidia?

Thought that's who it was until I noticed he wasn't wearing suspenders.

I've no idea who any of those women are.

Ha! I nearly said "apart from Lana".

Anna Kendrick is the reason I have 5 twiiter accounts, and also because I keep forgetting the passwords.

middle left is Anna Kendrick

I would mark if there was a backstage clip of Hogan behind a stall in the gentleman's room and you heard a flushing sound followed by "and you can see that on the WWE Network for only 9.99, brother."

For you CK:

Hogan's sex tape available exclusively on the WWE Network. Only 9.99!

Part of a longer interview Del Rio recently did in Mexico. Del Rio is considering filing a lawsuit against the WWE mostly because his no-compete clause has a double whammy of 90 days for promotions outside the US and a full year for any in the US.

Sin Cara is winning the belt tonight!

The guy sounds like a total prick and an obvious racist. The WWE should be worried. When you fire a guy who's been getting racial abuse for around eight months for slapping a racist, but let the racist keep his job, it's obvious you're going to be painted as a racist company to that community.

Interesting, they were two of the three names I predicted in the SummerSlam thread.

here's an english translation of Alberto's speech:
"History will mark this day as the day that El Patron returned home. But the truth is, after listening to that grand reception, I don't think El Patron ever left, because his heart belongs to you, it belongs to Mexico. A lot has been said about why I left, why I came back. Seven years ago I embarked on that dream, that adventure called America. And by suffering, blood, sweat and tears we showed North Americans and the entire world, that when you do things with heart, with passion, with love, and being humble under the eyes of God our Father, dreams do come true.

"Of course it wasn't easy, and then came a day that the dream turned into a nightmare. Similar to many of you, or if not you, to family members of yours, who have gone to the other side looking for a better life for those that we love, I came across a monster, a monster called racism. Racism doesn't distinguish sex, race, religion, color, it doesn't care… if you have money, if you don't have it.

"But this man that's standing right here (points at his father Dos Caras), that has given me everything and has made me the person that I am, gave me the biggest gift a father can give his son – honesty and the spirit to triumph. He never lowered his head, so that I could learn to never lower it in front of anyone. I love you, Dad. In the U.S., they might be able to take my job, but they'll never, ever take away my dignity and my pride. And on this night, my fellow Mexicans, I promise you and God that never again will someone come and disrespect my people, myself and all those that I love – because I am El Patron Alberto and I am Mexican, ladies and gentlemen!"

Rey Mysterio appeared at Triplemania via a recorded message.

interesting to note the #FreeRey hashtag at the end of the video.

Model didn't get the memo to look like a psycho.

Lana was a part of the "Pitch Perfect" movie along with the other ladies.

which one is the second from the right?

I don't know any of them with the exception of Anna Kendrick.

Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Chrissie Fit - no idea who they are but these are good porn star names.

It's Brittany Snow. You lose Cool King!

The skipping fits Paige better than AJ.

Wait. Are you telling me that Lana is actually Rebel Wilson???? :eek:

Watching WWE Countdown: Biggest Blunders episode. Good stuff.

Nah that's cool, ignore my post. Asshole.

:nono:

No. Lana is not Rebel Wilson.

Shit, I just learned Edge is dating Beth Phoenix and they even have a kid together.

I'd be scared of fuckin' her.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

VSG's head just exploded.

So weird. I hadn’t perused this thread in ages, and was just going to say that the Divas division could really benefit from Kaitlyn returning, which will probably never happen, but we can all dream, eh?

I dunno, it just seems so rare that you run into that perfect combination of beauty AND skills with any of the WWE Divas these days. That and an utter lack of any compelling storylines are what are really holding it back IMO.

Was Kaitlyn a good wrestler at the end of her run?I remember her being the worst on NXT

Looks like Lesnar hurt his butt after that suplex.

She had a personality, pretty much set her apart from the majority of the divas regardless of in ring stuff.

Which head?

Both. Simultaneously.

Oh a lot more than that exploded :naughty:

Also wtf why are youtube videos autoplaying for me?

Nice, Jericho's book tour is coming to my town

Make sure you get it. Seriously, it's a great read.

I thought Tazz Dan of all people would hate his book.

All jokes aside, it's a great book. A lot more to do with Fozzy and his family, plus other outside work.

Last two days worth of Cyanide & Happiness have been taylormade for TPWW.

I posted yesterday's in casual.

NSFW cartoon penis!

Fair call.

i just wanted to type that phrase out. i'll look at cartoon dicks at work all day.

Brad Maddox needs to return.

Beefcake Brad

She wasn't great, but she wasn't bad either. But you could tell she "got it" enough that in time she could of been really good. That combined with her unique look, and I think WWE lost out.

I remember doing the multiple head smash on top of the ladder was cool, heard the noise like 10 times, never was able to posistion it on the bell though correctly.

There were a few Diva storylines last month, AJ vs Paige, Brie vs Steph, Cameron vs Naomi, Layla/Summer Rae
