MikeCampbell Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 According to PW Insider, WWE has signed Mistico.
CodySave Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Interesting USWA paystub that Steve Austin shared on Twitter moments ago. Not much different than modern indy wrestling, except strange to see the little bit taken out for taxes: http://twitpic.com/3uzbpt

EricR Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 I didn't really love Mongo Wrestling Alliance, but I will continue to watch it because A) It's a goofy 10 minute cartoon about wrestling, and most importantly HARRY DEAN STANTON does the voice of the old man. I will watch anything at all that Harry Dean Stanton is affiliated with.
Wahoos Leg Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Someone finally made a gif: He really just punched the fuck out of him, didn't he? That brought me out of my seat Monday night.
cm funk Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 That was awesome. Random question: I was listening to an old WOL from 2003 and Dave had a trivia question that nobody got right, which was who were the two gold medal winners who have wrestled in the WWF. Angle is the obvious one, but nobody could get the second, and Dave never gave the answer. Also reminded me of another WOL trivia question which never got answered, this one was from Alvarez, which is who are the wrestlers in the first clip of the WWE open?
cm funk Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Iron Sheik ? Bad News ? Somebody guessed Iron Sheik but he was never actually an Olympian Bad News was a judo bronze medalist in the '76 olympics Somebody guessed Patera but he didn't medal Dave would pull trick questions on a lot of his trivia, but he clearly said "olympic gold medalist" so somebody winning a gold medal in the world championships or pan-american games or something like that wouldn't count, and there would be multiple winners in that case, and he also clearly said wrestled in the wwf, because somebody guessed Ali I don't know, I'm stumped. At this point I'm thinking it's somebody who got an honorary special olympics medal
Log Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Mike Tyson was a Junior Olympic gold medalist. Does that count?
shoe Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 I was thinking I heard or read somewhere that someone got a gold medal in bobsledding. If WCW counted we had Karl Malone.
Phil Schneider Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Chip Minton would be the bobsledder, but he never wrestled in WWF.
Phil Schneider Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Shaquille O'Neal would be the other one.
tomk Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Chip Minton would be the bobsledder, but he never wrestled in WWF. Minton was a Bronze medalist, not gold. His whole heel act was built around him being a selfsih athlete who blamed the rest of the US 4 man team for loosing the gold for him.
jdw Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Ali "worked" in/with the WWWF. "Wrestled" might be a tricky one. Not the Inoki match, but the stuff with Gorilla... and at least one other, though some of that was with the AWA if I recall. John
cm funk Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Shaquille O'Neal would be the other one. I guess he'd count now (did he actually work a billed match when he hosted RAW), but the question was posed in 2003 It was Willem Rhuska. Thanks. I can find info on him doing some worked fights with Inoki in the 70's when Inoki was the "WWF World Martial Arts Champion" but nothing about him working a card under the WWF banner. I guess that counts but Dave was really stretching on that one
Cox Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Apparently, this Osirian Portal clip is going viral - I've seen it linked in a bunch of places the past few days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU4TDGlbTz8
tomk Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Completely viral as I've been emailed that and the asian E-40 impersonator several times today. The CZW match is completley made by the Runaways hynotized selling. The thinner Runaway (Harry Curie?) briefly looses the spell to adjust his tights but his partner (Joe Jett? Luther Ford?) is completely commited.
kjh Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 I had to point out to my friend on facebook that posted that video that Kendo Nagasaki used hypnotism in pro wrestling long before these American indy guys did.
Al Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 I was once able to fool some people by asking what Olympic medalists competed at Wrestlemania. Floyd Mayweather won bronze at the '96 Olympics.
KrisZ Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Bill Simmons & Tony Reali posting the Osirian Portal clip numerous times on Twitter was awesome.
KrisZ Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 The clip also made Around the Horn today
Johnny Sorrow Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Again, Colt Cabana's most recent podcast. LIVE from WrestleReunion.. CurryMan here is hilarious.
sek69 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 So it looks like Edge is the guy Dave keeps blind-iteming about when mentioning a top WWE guy (and not someone you'd assume like Taker) who's looking to retire soon. That makes me wonder how much of this feud with Dolph is being booked to try to entice Edge to stay, since it sure doesn't seem to be helping Ziggler out at all.
