The Austin stuff always strikes me as kind of odd. On one hand you have people who try to use him as the trump card to win arguments with anyone who has issues with Hunter's constant fellating of Floyd, and on the other you can probably make the case that as bad as what Austin did, it wouldn't crack the top 25 of worst stuff done by someone in wrestling.

My impression is that since the goal was to get Sami over strong to the Raw crowd, they had Cole actually call the moves to make him sound even more impressive (which actually works since they never do that it made what he was doing stand out).

http://www.ainfos.ca/98/dec/ainfos00203.html IIRC Mick wasn't involved, it was just stupid people trying to crash the voting. There was a time where it was a thing for people online to try to get wacky things pushed to the top of the Man of the Year voting as if Time would have been bound to honor it.

Was that the one where he said he job was basically keeping Hogan happy, so he created the Dungeon of Doom so Hulk would have 80s era WWF monsters to fight?

Wasn't there some awkwardness with Harlem Heat at Hog Wild in front of a huge sea of bikers? I always thought that was particularly surprising since JCP/WCW were practically progressive in pro wrestling terms when it came to racial stuff.

I go back and forth in my mind wondering if he's on the spectrum or not. I know it's cliche to call people autistic on the internet, but in this case you kind of hope he is because the alternative is that he's a complete psychopath.

"She's a whore" chants in ECW were always cringeworthy. Also, Jesus Christ, I never heard about that one. Not sure if that's worse than GLF trying to turn Candido's funeral into a meet and greet.

He's on Twitter, at least as of April 21: https://twitter.com/hyattelives

I just assumed it was a combination of not having much time, and not really being a stylistic fit for World Class at the time. They were going all MTV with music videos and whatnot, what were the Funks going to do in that environment? They already had Harley coming in to play the "grizzled NWA champion making the Von Erich boys look good" role at that time.

Hips are a little more involved than knees but it's still something that could be taken care of and would greatly improve the guy's quality of life. Hell, I'm sure he could even get WWE to foot the bill since they are always in need of good PR.

The thing about Foley is a good deal of what makes him look like a broken down old man probably could be taken care of with a knee replacement or two. The process is way less invasive than ever (my 86 year old grandmother-in-law had one a few years ago and was barely out of commission at all), but knowing his well documented thriftiness he seemingly would rather limp around than spend the money.

Not to mention Hunter's constant Floyd dick sucking isn't a good look for a father of three daughters, regardless of his position.

Anyone else listen to last night's WON radio and get a kick out of Dave's HHH impression? Apparently "it's not believable" is the go to line for him like saying "goddammit" is for a Vince impression.

I've heard it mentioned that the Adorable gimmick was what was in the suitcase, but to be honest that always seemed like reconning since I've never really seen anything from the timeframe that suggests that was the deal.

I read this as James Deen, which would certainly announce and end to the PG era. Material for the next Jerry Springer Too Hot For TV episode, no doubt.

That's how the refs make sure everyone's OK after a big spot, by having them grab his hand if they're not dead.

I don't see what Dana and/or UFC get out of it really. They are the ones with all the risk of one of their top draws maybe getting hurt, and WWE gets all the reward having a UFC star on their big shows.

I predict every non wrestling fan friend you have will show up at your house just as the finish of the Kiss Me Arse match happens.

As much as I've been unexpectedly digging Ninja Orton RKO'ing random fools like a 2015 Positively Kanyon, I'm dreading the title match and the inevitable "Ha ha, we fooled you dummies" ending where Kane stays loyal to the Authority. It's amazing, the crowds seem to really want to see Kane vs Seth, but even if they go that route it will likely be months too late and no one will care.

Yeah, you can tell there were big plans for Owen when he returned to be paired with HBK. Next thing you know he was the third banana in the Nation and was being called a nugget.

So AAA is having a multi promotional trios tourney with their guys along with wrestlers from TNA, ROH, NOAH, and All Japan. Their sponsor wanted CMLL involved which was shot down for obvious reasons, and New Japan declined out of loyalty to CMLL and also the money they make from the FantasticaMania tours. Hasn't NOAH been basically a New Japan satellite promotion as of late being booked by Jado and Gedo? I wonder how they managed to sneak in, unless AAA isn't aware of the deal.

I don't want to discount what may very well be the guy's actual feelings, but didn't HHH torpedo the big post-Montreal push Owen was supposed to get by telling HBK he shouldn't lose to a guy like that? Just seems disingenuous to put a guy over that strong after he passes away when you didn't think he was on your (or your buddy's) level when he was alive.

To be fair, Miz is pretty badly miscast as an action hero. Some guys can pull off "tough guy" and some can't. Miz seems to be the kind of guy who can't.

Per Dave they didn't outright ban it, but it's more of a semantics thing and he's not going to be doing the move anymore. My guess is they probably figured it might cause bad PR to have the WWE champion stomp a guy's head for a finish in the Concussion Lawsuit Era we're currently in.

He seems to want to have two different characters, evil Authority bad guy rassler Triple H and WWE CEO Paul Levesque. Paul was doing the promo tonight and it seemed like the crowd didn't know how to react to it. Maybe he got too used to the NXT crowds accepting him as the good guy executive.
