I just watched this and it appears to me the gringos turn on panther because lizmark takes his mask, puts it on, attacks one of the gringos and then puts it back on panther. Their attack was retaliation for what they thought was his attack

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
NitroFan replied to Loss's topic in Megathread archive
just wondering about the riot at sumo hall after vader's debut. conventional wisdom is that the riot was a result of vader squashing inoki but reading ditchs page linked below it appears to be saying the riot actually broke out just after the choshu match. during the vader match there doesnt really seem to be anything going on. all the fans we see on camera and everyone around the ring seem to be focused on the match and there doesnt look to be anything occurring. was the riot already underway outside the arena at this point and what did cause it? http://theditch.us/riot.html -
i thought sherris bump was the craziest thing i would see in this match and then sagrada dives off the fucking cage for fucks sake. how many multiples of his height was that thing? for something i was really dreading watching this actually turned out pretty entertaining, thanks entirely to everyone not name jake or konnan. thankfully they seemed to focus much more on the outside stuff than the 'match'. did jake have a boy or a girl, btw?

[1994-03-04-Michinoku Pro] Sato vs Super Delphin (Mask vs Hair)
NitroFan replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
like most others i liked the match without loving it, but i hated sato repeatedly doing the 'pin the guy with one hand while counting with your fingers on the other' in the near falls towards the end, especially given the stakes- 9 replies

i havent seen the match since it aired and i recall liking it for what it was, but samoa joe vs liger only getting around 10 minutes on a tna ppv pissed a lot of people off

unfortunately for them that 'minority' makes up an awful lot of the mania crowd. and lol at the thought of what will happen on raw the next night.

Most Successful Gimmick Based on an Actual Job
NitroFan replied to Cross Face Chicken Wing's topic in Pro Wrestling
is being a member of the black panthers a job? -
except cena and bryan are appealing to different audiences. 10 year olds might love their garish cena merchandise but (and i have nothing to support this, so i guess its just my theory) most adult wrestling fans dont want that or cartoon goats. no one can convince me that a ron simmons style tshirt with nothing but 'yes' on it wouldnt sell like crazy. speaking more generally (although it certainly applies to bryan), i wish wwe would lose their obsession with putting shit (usually the wrestlers name) on the back of their shirts. looks terrible.

i feel sorry for rey. talk about a spot that was guaranteed to die an awful death

Whats the consensus on how good mae young was in her prime and is there any footage from around that time? -
im only up to the second razor show but over the last few episodes gimme mo has become almost unbearable. i guess someone (possibly austin due to whatever brain damage he suffered during his career) decided to give this guy, his complete lack of wit and his annoying voice a bigger role. glad to know he's gone at some point in the (hopefully near) future. also austin saying in an episode that he only advertises things he uses and believes in, and then a few minutes later saying he hasnt tried the t-plus stuff hes been shilling since the beginning made me lol. but i love this show. the non interview episodes rarely fail to have me crying from laughter.

[1993-08-21-AJW-Grand Prix] Manami Toyota vs Akira Hokuto
NitroFan replied to Loss's topic in August 1993
i know toyota will be toyota (and that i'm 2.5 years late to this particular party, or lack thereof), but getting piledriven on the floor twice and literally less than one minute later doing an inside-out dive followed by two top-rope-to-the-floor dives is way too much for me to handle.- 10 replies

my first ever live show was the global warning event wwe did in melbourne, australia. hhh vs. brock vs. rock main event. it was later released on dvd. was 40 something thousand there, so i imagine in 2002 (ie. before they did every mania in a football stadium) that wouldve ranked fairly highly on the all time wwe attendance list. my favourite experience would probably be summerslam 2013 followed by the post-mania raw from miami last year. i was losing my shit during the ss main event and was legit pissed when bryan got fucked. and raw was just so much damn fun, with the crowd going crazy for bryan all night despite him not even appearing until the dark match. the post summerslam raw was pretty cool as well, especially since the shield walked right past me 2 or 3 times. a lot smaller than i thought they'd be. i also saw hogan vs. flair...in 2009. i think one or both of them bladed. highlight of that show was the massive hogan mark sitting in front of me who got kicked out just before hogan made his entrance. was literally crying as security dragged him away, poor guy.

From Dustins incredible shirt to being caught up in the idea of being a singer to losing his hat this was so great. Still absurd that this is what they did with Cactus after he killed himself but at least this one was entertaining thanks to Dustin.

I like how Hogan was earlier threatening to beat up a ref because he made the right call about cheating but here he's outraged at the injustice of "the jap" cheating

I cant remember the specifics of the references but the czarface (inspectah deck and 7l/esoteric) album has quite a few references and on one song play part of a road warriors promo

[1992-08-08-WCW-Saturday Night] Big Van Vader vs Ron Simmons

i hope the fan you're talking about is the black dude in the pale blue shirt that comes out of nowhere and starts jumping up against the guard rail, because he is awesome.- 18 replies

The exact opposite, actually. During a deposition (IIRC) it was discovered that Hodgson had made the same sort of accusations at another past employer, and that a judge called him a "habitual liar." His lawyer resigned right then and there, and even apologized to McDevit on his way out the door. thats interesting because at one point Vince says something about bringing up his past and Hodgson cuts him off and says his past has nothing to do with anything. but their interaction was my favourite part of this. especially vince telling him he was shit.

If I had to sit on a deserted island and watch nothnig but one wresters routine for the rest of my life I would choose Flair, by a mile. I fucking love his cheesy ass dated shctick. The 'chop-oh-shit-that-didn't-do-anything-lets-beg-off' spot has me marking out every time
