Coffey Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 As a worker, is John Cena better than Kurt Angle?
Johnny Sorrow Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 As a worker, is John Cena better than Kurt Angle? Yes. Anyway, check this out, it's fucking killer.
Johnny Guitar Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 As a worker, is John Cena better than Kurt Angle? Much better. And by a country mile too.
kjh Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 It's sort of amazing that it took Vince Russo to get kicked out of creative before TNA did a storyline where a crack whore date raped AJ Styles and got herself pregnant in the process.
JerryvonKramer Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 Forgot to mention that my friends have tickets to see the Olympic Wrestling on 10th August and, knowing I'm a big wrestling fan, asked me to go along with them. Never seen any ameutuer wrestling at all before. Anyone know anything about this? Any quick primers would be welcome.
goc Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 It's pretty much absolutely nothing like pro wrestling. You should probably youtube it go get an idea of what you are in for. I
Slasher Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 It's pretty much absolutely nothing like pro wrestling. You should probably youtube it go get an idea of what you are in for. I Reminds me of middle school when I tried intramural wrestling and I tried to hook my opponent's leg in a pinning situation. He was like "What the hell are you doing, pervert?" Also got yelled at for trying to do a snap suplex (failed miserably due to my opponent sandbagging justifiably so).

Never seen any ameutuer wrestling at all before. Anyone know anything about this? Any quick primers would be welcome. I've covered our state high school wrestling tournament for the last 12 years for a newspaper that used to employ me. It's a goddam nightmare. The kids are nuts. The coaches are nuts. The parents are nuts and the fans are nuts. These kids starve themselves during wrestling season so they can make weight and crawl all over some other kid for five minutes, crossing their fingers that they won't get any kind of skin disease. Amateur wrestlers are totally insane. But I bet it'd be cool to see at an Olympic level. You'll probably enjoy it. But don't go in expecting it to be anything like pro wrestling. It's two TOTALLY different things.
Death From Above Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 Barking like Rick Steiner to throw your opponent off is really underused in amateur, IMO.

ohtani's jacket Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 Totally random question, but who usually does a worker's face paint before a show? The worker himself?
rovert Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 Mark Henry who is currenly out with a shoulder injury dropped even more weight and quite a lot by the looks of it: "What up twitter fam. Update down to 404 clothes getting Baggie! ... wait til I get back!!!" As he isn't getting any younger and his brother Patrick had stroke in 2010 so good for him.

Also got yelled at for trying to do a snap suplex (failed miserably due to my opponent sandbagging justifiably so). We had suplex practice once at wrestling(true story) and I did some Scott Steiner style belly to belly's onto a wrestling dummy. The ones where he would take a step back and then swing the guy to the ground(like this -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-Dt1oA5Td4). Naturally, the coaches were telling me I'm doing it wrong. Of course, they didn't tell us how to do it right, so I was trusting in Professor Steiner. Thank God I didn't know who Taz was at that time.

anarchistxx Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 Totally random question, but who usually does a worker's face paint before a show? The worker himself? That can't be the case at the top level, surely? I'm certain WWE will carry a pretty sizable wardrobe and makeup department around with them.
Gregor Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 There's a video online of Damian 666 applying his face paint before a show. Oh, I'm surprised I could find it. Here:

Re: the bolded part -- just about every high school sport has nutty people out there, from parents who think their kid needs more playing time or that their kid is destined to be a superstar, to coaches who shout too much for their own good, to kids who truly do crazy things. Granted, amateur wrestling is one of the few sports in which you have to maintain a certain weight at all times, but there's plenty of lunacy in high school sports in general.

I know Sting and Jeff Hardy have always done their own paint
Blehschmidt Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 I can vouch that Chance Prophet does his. I've also seen a photo of either Hawk or Animal doing their own.

Coffey Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 C.M. Punk's gimmick moniker of "Best in the World" got me to thinking...who is the best in the world right now? It's definitely not Punk, not to me anyway.
