Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 4
Blehschmidt replied to TravJ1979's topic in Pro Wrestling
Can anyone identify the guy with the annoying laugh that is on commentary with Hugo Savinovich for this match? It's obviously not the original commentary, and at first I thought it was one of the Insane Clowns based on the voice, but the more I listen, I don't think it is. I just can't place it! Al Perez vs Abdullah the Butcher -
Green Shirt Guy is the one I want to know the deal with. That dude has almost the exact same seat in the front row of nearly every PPV for years now, no matter what city it's in. That's going to cost an insane amount of money in tickets and travel.

I've read several things that said Mike wanted to be involved in the production side of things. -
The AWA Presents - World Class Championship Wrestling
Blehschmidt replied to Lee Casebolt's topic in Armchair Booking
I actually inquired about the possibility of David living when I originally joined Dawn of War with World Class. Be interested to see what you do with the idea. -
OWF WorldWide is back on the air! We open with quite possibly the worst "match" that has ever been on this show, and that covers a lot of ground! From there we'll see Billy Jack Junkins take on "King" Lawrence Lucky with his manager Genine Simmons! and in the Main Event, it's the return of The Red Cyclone!! as he clashes with Militia Mascaras! All of this, and much more on... OWF WorldWide Wrasslin' Episode 27

That wasn't my favorite episode of Dynamite, but uhh... Skye Blue... Respectfully.

If you were in Herb Abrams position.
Blehschmidt replied to Autistic Dragon's topic in Pro Wrestling
The points being made in the last two posts have really hit the nail on the head. Herb needed someone other than Herb in control, and the show needed a point. Gene and I watched the first twelve weeks of the Fury Hour and did a podcast on it, and that was one of the biggest things that stood out to us. They had terrible squash match after terrible squash match, and these main events with the stupidest finishes imaginable to protect everyone involved, and all of it was building to absolutely nothing. They weren't trying to get people to house shows, they weren't trying to sell a pay per view. It was just Herb aping what he had seen on other wrestling television shows, and the talent taking advantage of him. If I remember correctly Brian Blair even talks in his book about when people tried to help him with good ideas and constructive criticism, instead of just stuff to get themselves over, he wasn't really interested in hearing it. Herb was just going to do what Herb was going to do. Answering your proposed question is a hard one. Looking back on it from the perspective we have now, the right idea with no house shows and no pay per views to sell, would be to do something that was hardly done at the time and give the viewers clean finishes and matches between big stars on television. Something that really wouldn't be done for a few more years until it became the norm when ECW started doing it and the Monday Night Wars followed suit. But, as I said, that is easy to say from our perspective now. Back then, that was unheard of. So what do you do to differentiate yourself in that landscape? I think pushing the younger, more athletic guys is an option. Treating it more like a sport is always a nice thing to do. I think simply not making the finishes to the main events so fucking stupid, and cutting down on the sheer number of squashes per hour would have been a good start. -
AEW TV (02/07 - 02/10) Here she come now saying Mone Mone
Blehschmidt replied to The Thread Killer's topic in AEW
As much as I detested Big Cass in WWE, I have to say that I am loving Big Bill in AEW. Whether the name sucks or not, that dude has certainly turned himself and his work around. -
OWF WorldWide reaches the 1/2 year mark with the episode that the critics are calling "the most recent" of all of our episodes! You will witness the debut of Bad Boy Benji!! plus the held up OWF North Eastern Senior Citizens Championship will be decided as ZBL takes on "Dirty" Dick Villians in singles competition! Will "The Red Chicken" Terry Villians get involve? Tune in to find out!! All of this and much more, this week on.... OWF WorldWide Wrasslin' Episode 26

Both Kingston/Keith and Hechicero/Danielson were fantastic. Great start to a show.
-
Somehow I expect this whole thing to end with either Jeff Jarrett or Eric Bischoff legitimately in charge of WWE.
-
The Battle Rages On!... as "Rock and Roll" Danny Diamond takes yet another shot at his rival Mad Dog Harley!! Plus Fatal Four Way Women's Action see's the much hyped debut of.... 2 Tuffer Tammy! All that and more, this week on.... OWF WorldWide Wrasslin' Episode 25
-
Holy Shit, Laurinaitis is turning on Vince. Didn't see that coming.
-
Ricky Starks posting pictures of himself on Twitter with Gypsy Rose Blanchard backstage at this show wasn't something I was expecting to see! Danielson vs Hechicero should be really good.

Blehschmidt replied to Timbo Slice's topic in WWE
They fired that other guy, but Booker T has got to be one of the worst commentary guys of all time. -

I thought we were supposed to be using the "Is the Empire Stronger Than Ever" thread to discuss how wonderful the WWE is now.....
-
I truly don't understand why people hate Excalibur. But I'll even take Kevin Kelly's phoning it in ass over Mauro.
-
Is the empire stronger than ever? (for two days lol)
Blehschmidt replied to Ricky Jackson's topic in WWE
Do we know how long the deal with Peacock is? Having their content strung out between Netflix, USA, CW, and Peacock in the U.S. just seems like a pain in the ass. You'd think they'd want to continue have the ability to have the past stuff all together in one place, where ever that may be. -
I've been a Chiefs fans since the early 90's so I've been enjoying this run the last few years, but if we lost a close one to the Lions, I would be pretty okay with that.
