Superstar Sleeze Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 I am going to the Smackdown taping in Boston tonight. Does Main Event start at 8? Or is it live to tape and I need to get there by 7? Thanks in advance.
(BP) Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 The network airs it live, and it's scheduled for 8pm.
Kronos Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 Listened to the Lawler eps on Austin's podcast. I really enjoyed the insights about the Kaufman feud, especially Jerry saying he hit Jim Carrey on "Letterman" much harder than he hit Kaufman on the Letterman show because he was legit pissed at Carrey. And also his asking Milos Foreman, "Has this guy [Carrey] even read the script? Doesn't he know that Andy and I were actually good friends?" I had never heard about the creation of Kamala gimmick - anyone have an image of the Frazetta painting he's talking about? Jerry makes him sound like a big sweet simpleton. "Mr. Lawler, why do you paint a banana on my stomach every night?"
El-P Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 I had never heard about the creation of Kamala gimmick Yeah, I found pretty interesting that it was actually based on Amin Dada's rumoured cannibalism.
Guest TheGreatPuma Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 Yeah, dextar I have thought about it too. It'd be just sooo insane. Though we've had lots of insane happen in wrestling before so you never know.... But all indications do seem to have Bryan winning. YES, YES, YES!
Guest TheGreatPuma Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 To Dexstar's comment about what would happen if HHH won both clean ..... Yes, I've thought about it too. Oooh man, complete insanity but hey the WWE can and has done lots of insane booking. Still, everything is pointing to a Bryan win. YES! YES! YES!
FLIK Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 Been a while since I posted anything about my burgeoning indy career, mostly since none of the shows i've been on have been taped or if they were the footage wasn't released, but here's a match I had last week vs Sir Samurai which took place at a St Patricks Day festival. Pointless random fact #1 - The camera doesn't pick it up but at around the 3 min mark of the video an angry drunk fat old man tries to climb on the apron before quickly being taken away. Pointless random fact #2 - The referee is Christina Von Erie's younger brother James
Fantastic Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 Undertaker is looking a lot leaner than he was last year. It makes me wonder how a guy of his age and history of injuries is able to workout, let alone stay in respectable shape. Furthermore, doesn't he swear by Crossfit? A type of training in itself which carries a high risk of injury... Wonders never cease!
Minds_Eys Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 Sign me up for the Shiek documentary. On another note, I'm not a fan of Buff Bagwell but highly enjoyed his Art of Wrestling appearance. I recommend it. Buff comes off as a good dude.
goodhelmet Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 This may be the greatest movie ever made.
(BP) Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 Watching Superbrawl 1, after Sid jobs to El Gigante a portion of the crowd starts singing, "Kiss Him Goodbye." I was really surprised pre-internet enough people were aware he had signed with WWF to get that going. I also thought the song wasn't really part of the crowd chant lexicon until the Attitude Era.
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 I wonder how much of that was WCW being a semi-regional promotion at the time. They visited St. Petersburg more often than Vince, which makes me think each city had a more localized vibe if that makes sense.
cm funk Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 by 91 a lot of people had access to hotlines and newsletters, and WCW crowds were more diehard/hardcore than WWF ones
Johnny Guitar Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 I wonder how much of that was WCW being a semi-regional promotion at the time. They visited St. Petersburg more often than Vince, which makes me think each city had a more localized vibe if that makes sense. Vince promoted a card next door in Tampa the night before. The reason he didn't promote cards in St Pete was that Tampa had a bigger arena. by 91 a lot of people had access to hotlines and newsletters, and WCW crowds were more diehard/hardcore than WWF ones Thats true. But I live in the UK and no real access to the hotlines or the sheets at the time and even I knew that Sid was leaving. It was one of the worst kept secrets. Even the Apter mags were reporting Sid's departure.
Eduardo Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 Was just watching WrestleWar 90, and a ringside fan had a "We Have Herd Enough" sign.
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Unfortunately they got a lot more.
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Other than WrestleMania V, were there any Piper's Pit segments during Roddy's 2nd run?
goodhelmet Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Maybe the 2nd best movie of all time after the Iron Sheik documentary.
hammerva Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Was surprised how good the Iron Sheik documentary looked. I was expecting some Eric Simms/Rob Feinstein crap where it is just Sheik getting drunk and high doing embarrassing stuff that makes him look terrible while everyone else made money

goc Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I've been watching Survivor Series 92, and Yokozuna vs. Virgil has to be one of my favorite squash matches ever. I've never seen it before and Yoko looks like such a beast. I'm tempted to go on a Yoko spree now, because he looks REALLY good here before his weight got out of control.
BillThompson Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I really wish WWE would bring back Halloween Havoc. I know they never will since it was an NWA/WCW event, but it's such a cool name for an event. I at least wish someone would bring back the red ring mat from the 1990 version.
(BP) Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 I would've loved all of the B ppvs taking classic WCW ppv themes after the buyout. Vince would never go for that though. I'm not sure of the story behind the Great American Bash becoming a WWE show.
