Coffey Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Doing this spot in front of what, a couple hundred fans? And it means less than a good clothesline in a match with psychology. When will they ever learn... Obviously never. Some people never will. I don't know what's worse, the workers doing that spot, the live fans clamoring for shit like that or the people in charge (assuming there's someone in the back, like a road agent at that Indy or something) allowing them to. How does that even come up? "Let's do a Spike Tombstone/Double Stomp through a table from the apron to the floor. That will get a pop, right!?" I thought the ROH Piledriver on the apron was bad...
Log Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 From what I read, it was the finish. Well, good. For the record, I don't have a problem with it. I'm assuming all three guys involved agreed to the spot. They're adults. They can do what they want. Is it dumb? Yeeeeeeah. If their goal is to get noticed by WWE, then it's not the best move. If they just wanted to try a crazy-ass spot, good on them.
rovert Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 I assume most here haven't seen Christina Von Eerie drive barbecue skewers into Kimber Lee's head the previous CZW show:
El-P Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 All of this... in 2014 ? Seriously ? This is sooooooo 2002.
Marty Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Maybe it's just me, but the barbeque skewer thing looks sooooooo fake. The triple-piledriver thingy, on the other hand...
Steven Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 I'm familiar with CZW and that the tombstone spot isn't really the dumbest thing they've ever done. I just thought it was hilarious to do something that stupid for $25 and a free soda in 2014. That clip rovert posted is weird. You have 90lb Christina von Eerie swatting away some giant dude, ramming skewers into her opponent's head to barely a reaction, Kimber Lee screaming in pain despite the skewers seeming to be more tangled in her hair than her somehow bloodless head and performing some hokey even for wrestling acting.

jdw Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 I assume most here haven't seen Christina Von Eerie drive barbecue skewers into Kimber Lee's head the previous CZW show: I think I've seen that spot in one of the Japanese garbage promotions, like Jun Kasai matches or someone else, and it's just a totally throw away spot among their laundry list of garbage to get through.
jdw Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Yep: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bOMXEfr5Rc Not Kasai, but I've seen this guy face Kasai over there... Yep: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAipdnxbRQE About 18 in. Good lord, I can't even remember what I was clicking around on Youtube that had Kasai & Co popping up in the videos to the left... and why I bothered clicking on them and watching 4-5 of them through.

Having seen clips of the spot done a few times, they do go through the skin. Seemed that Kimber was expecting some juice in the ring, even did the classic body positioning expecting it and seemed surprised when there wasn't. John
Superstar Sleeze Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 They pulled off the spot pretty damn well so more power to them. What I have read about Rick Rude's injuries seems ambiguous. So what was his injury in lat '92 that forced him to relinquish the US Championship? Was it the same bacnk injury that ultimately forced him to retire in 1994? Are there particular matches where these injuries are known to have happened? Thanks.
Kevin Ridge Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 INDYZ: I believe this move is called the IPS Driver Error.
soup23 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 INDYZ: I believe this move is called the IPS Driver Error. Did a legit spit take at this.

I believe the main injury happened in a match with Sting in Japan where he took an awkward bump on the elevated ramp/stage thing they were using for the show. Everything else seemed to stem from that.

KrisZ Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 This is amazing --Sandman vs. former heavyweight boxing champion Tim Witherspoon was announced as the main event on a show called World Xtreme Entertainment run by the controversial Damon Feldman. Hollis Thomas of the Philadelphia Eagles will be the special referee of the fight. The main event is scheduled as five rounds for the World Xtreme Entertainment title, so I guess that means it's a worked match. A press conference will be held on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Chickie and Pete's in South Philadelphia to announce the fight. There will also be a tag team boxing match on the show. They are looking for models, dancers and pro wrestlers to work for the promotion.
sek69 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 So I finally got around to downloading the latest DLC pack for WWE 2K14 and was amused to find Ultimate Warrior had a higher rating in the game than Bruno (93 to 92).

So does Sandman go the Roddy Piper route and just slam Witherspoon or does he load up the glove with water and crush him with it?
Steven Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 What a fall from grace, that Drew Mcintyre. He's resorted to hacking poor Sheamus' twitter just to get some attention. https://twitter.com/WWESheamus > https://twitter.com/TheDrewMcIntyre/statuse...770464272359424
cheapshot Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Hardly. WWE encourages twitter tomfoolery during slow weekends.
Steven Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Hardly. WWE encourages twitter tomfoolery during slow weekends. What are you talking about? This is clearly a crime of the highest order! I expect Drew to be given a thousand lashes and a match with Khali as punishment. And for Steph to choke him out with the Matt Hardy choke hold
