Guest Paul Kersey Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 I seem to remember a couple weeks after it looked like Kong v Bubba blew over, Bubba's show prank called her and Bubba went off screaming racial epithets. I think he was claiming he'd press assault charges but turned around and gave Kong a harassment claim against him. This is a "something like that" recollection. Clarification?
Jingus Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 You're confusing being injured with something hurting.Oh god, don't ever restart that horrible old "stiff vs snug" argument again. This is a "something like that" recollection. Clarification?Yeah, that happened. He got on the air with her by having another radio host, a friend of Bubba's, pretending to interview her for his own show. Once she was on, he basically went into a Mel Gibson screaming fit, repeatedly calling her a "dumb black bitch".
Victator Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 Oh god, don't ever restart that horrible old "stiff vs snug" argument again. Just did
JerryvonKramer Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 Question: In the old pay-per-appearance type contracts they used to have in the 80s, was there any allowances made for how long the match worked was? So lets say two guys are both on $2000 per appearance contracts but worker A works a 30 minute broadway and worker B works a 5 minute squash match, do they get paid the same anyway?
Guest kidd Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 would depends on the contract, per appearanc eto me means per appearance whether your wrestling 2 minutes or 30. The difference is IF Miz is on a per appearance contract eh might get $1,000 per appearance where let's say Chris masters might only make $100 per appearance. it doesn't matter waht they are doing during the appearance.
Jingus Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Sometimes the promoter will give you a You Did A Good Job And I'm Feeling Generous bonus for particularly hard work, but it's never written into the contract. Reminds me of a story Jericho told in his new book, when his paycheck for Wrestlemania 18 turned out much smaller than he expected. Like, less than a hundred grand, when Triple H got paid four or five times as much. He stormed into Vince's office all mad, and Vince just shrugged and said "Ross, cut him another check" without any debate.
MikeCampbell Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 JC Ice tells a similar story in his shoot interview. He was on a $500 per appearance deal and when he worked 'Mania 13 he figured he'd get at least a few grand. Nope, he got a check for $100. The WWF had advanced him and Wolfie $400 before the actual event, so when paychecks came, it was only the extra $100 of his contract.
Death From Above Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 How many zeroes are on your paycheck!?! TWO! Mine too! Do ya think they misprinted these motherfuckers?
smkelly Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Since when does a face challenge a heel to an I Quit match? Seems weird for some reason.
Johnny Sorrow Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Since when does a face challenge a heel to an I Quit match? Seems weird for some reason.Um, Magnum challenged Tully.And that's Cena's "match", like Dusty's was "Texas Bullrope".
MikeCampbell Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Foley challenged Rock to the I Quit match at the '99 Rumble.
flyonthewall2983 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Not weird to me at all, it's a trump card for the face to use, especially in this case. It's saying to the heel "put up or shut up". I really thought Del Rio was going to win, starting that feud, so Miz and Riley could start their program.
subatomic_elbow Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 A-Ry throws in the towel for Miz to save him from grievous bodily harm, because he loves him, and the Miz is furious. The rejection from his one true love drives A-Ry insane and he becomes a scorned lover figure while Miz's new found homophobic butchness makes him a face. After the feud, A-Ry will have moved on to a new mancrush, perhaps one who acts as a bodyguard/enforcer figure. Miz moves back into his Pick-Up Artist persona, but now more butch and macho. This is how the Miz becomes a top flight face and A-Ry becomes a midcard gay heel.
sek69 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 That reminds me of Kevin Cook's famous post about HBK and HHH's history as the longest lasting gay couple in wrestling history.
Strummer Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Apparently WWE had Michael Hayes manage Tyson Kidd tonight at the tapings for his Superstars match. That's..interesting

Dont you think too much moaning by a rich millionaire? It seems he's always been up front about hating the travel and being in the public eye and that's why he quit. Hell, in UFC he doesn't talk to his boss for months on end. He maintains such a secluded lifestyle that he had no idea who Chael Sonnen was when asked.
MJH Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Yeah, the idea that having money somehow means a person can't be upset/angry/whatever is rather silly. It'd be one thing were Brock to exploit his fame in the media, sign magazine deals etc... and then turn around on them. If you're a naturally private person (as all signs point to Brock being) then all the money in the world isn't going to make it a pleasant experience.

If you're a naturally private person (as all signs point to Brock being) then all the money in the world isn't going to make it a pleasant experience. I get that he just goes on and on about it. With no nuisance about him nothing about say making kid's day, visiting sick and disabled children etc. The excerpt is far more maudlin and over wrought than I though it would be. He is like Henry Rollins in Get in the Van or something.
tomk Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 He wanted to do his job and get paid, wasn't interested in being a celebrity. Jody Hamilton could've prepared him:

Guest Paul Kersey Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 That reminds me of Kevin Cook's famous post about HBK and HHH's history as the longest lasting gay couple in wrestling history. I read a pretty good case for Evolution also representing the phases in HHHs life as a modern gay man. I'm starting to wonder if it was the same post, and they were his other lovers along the way. Gay read aside, that's not a bad way to set up Miz v Riley. No matter how they do it, I'm pretty sure I'll be viewing it as a gay lover's quarrel now.

But do you think he knows who the Beatles and Bo Jackson are?
