Loss Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 "Iron Mountain" would be a great wrestling name for a big man. (We use Iron Mountain for off-site storage at work. I've never been there, but had the opportunity to tour once and wasn't able to do so because of a scheduling conflict.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Iron Mountain sounds like a henchman villain in a kung fu film. You know the one. "Iron Mountain Kang". The really big muscly dude who looks like a Chinese Scott Norton with an amazing Fu Manchu mustache that can punch through walls and tables and shit, but is finally felled by a groin punt followed by being airplane spun and thrown off a bridge into the Yellow River. "No Mountain can stand against the might of the river! Hahahaha." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 There was Man Mountain Dean, so Iron Mountain would be a good nickname for someone with a weight lifting background: "Iron Mountain" Mark Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.L.L. Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 He killed his 7-year old son by choking him to death with his wrestling finisher. That's worth emphasizing. Haven't most reliable sources exposed that as bullshit? Murdering Daniel with the crossface was just a rumour going around when it first happened. Quite the opposite, as Loss pointed out. In fact, I distinctly remember a number of people - including myself - who dismissed the reports at first because it just seemed too ridiculous to be true, only to find out that it was. That was a weird, weird time to be a wrestling fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dooley Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Disgusting. And people wonder why most of the rest of society looks down on wrestling fans. It's not because of following a fake sport, it's because all too often they really do fit into the lowest common denominator stereotype. Don't tar wrestling fans unfairly, football fans apply the same principle to OJ Simpson and his achievements. Chris Brown still sells millions of records despite his despicable crimes. People still love Phil Spector and praise his music despite the fact he was a murderer. Actors who have committed awful crimes still get praised. It isn't wrestling fans who do this, it is a good proportion of society. Find me the people on the anniversary of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman's murders that are tweeting #Remember2000yards. Find me the people who take the anniversary of Lana Clarkson's murder to look back fondly on the Wall of Sound. No? OK. Well, it's a little unique because it's also the day he died. Isn't that the point? He slaughters his family and all certain people want to remember about the day is "the world lost a great wrestler"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that if OJ had also died on the day that he committed the murders, you could very well see some sick people from those communities commemorating the day as well. I agree with the general premise that fans in many areas of entertainment will show similar misplaced priorities. If an important college football player rapes a girl and has to miss a big game because he's in jail, a decent percentage of that team's fanbase is going to be pissed at the girl for costing them the game. We want to be entertained ahead of everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJRogers Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 So I'm watching Flair-Hogan from MSG from a...Superstars taping? It's obviously in between Survivor Series and Tuesday In Texas. But anyway, the Big Gold Belt issue had been resolved and the belt had been returned to WCW, but for the storyline purposes Flair is still dubbing himself "The Real World's Champion" and the belt he is holding is blurred due to Jack Tunney declaring that it shall be blurred out for television. Anyway, it happened to have been a tag belt, so I wonder what the reaction in the stands was, well clearly fans must have figured WCW got the rights to Flair's belt back, to Flair hoisting up a tag belt the same way he and Bobby Heenan had all those months with the Big Gold Belt? Must have been a "why bother guys, just for the TV audience" type of response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
