Loss Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 DDP was able to do a lot at his age by not flat back bumping too. Then he went to WWE and Undertaker didn't like it, and he started having back problems almost immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 And Bryan Alvarez thinks that the flat-back bumps are not a problem.Seriously? You'd expect him, of all people, to know better. With his unique experience of being the only really successful wrestler-slash-dirtsheet writer, Alvarez should be the first person to realize some of this shit. Heck, how do you think Steve Austin fucked himself up so bad, aside from the occasional freak injury? He wasn't doing dumbass stunts or highspots out there. All he did was have a really snappy back bump. Seriously, just go watch any old Stone Cold match and you'll see him whipping himself to the mat with total abandon. He would even do that shit on the floor, which with the Attitude brawling style happened uncomfortably often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjh Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 This would also explain why they were so quick to cut Nigel, if they have some fancy neurological testing system in place for the new hires nowadays. That would probably disqualify lots of the more hard-hitting younger wrestlers who've racked up enough concussions. Note to self: never head-butt the ringpost. Speaking of Nigel, will I need to chide the wrestling media on Cageside Seats again for not getting to the bottom of his mysterious absence from TV? I'm much more concerned about Wolfe, who failed a WWE physical, possibly working for TNA for ten months before doing a physical of their own and discovering the same neurological issues WWE found, than Rob Terry being booked to take one unprotected chairshot, yet this story is being slept on by the wrestling media. Seriously? You'd expect him, of all people, to know better. With his unique experience of being the only really successful wrestler-slash-dirtsheet writer, Alvarez should be the first person to realize some of this shit. Not really, he's been brainwashed into believing that flat-back bumps is the right way to fall. By the way, it's no surprise that women are treated badly in a company where the lead creative force thinks that his wife should "submit to her husband's leadership".

Jingus Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Not really, he's been brainwashed into believing that flat-back bumps is the right way to fall.Well, so has every other wrestler outside of Mexico, so that's not a surprise. But my point is that it's not so much the style of bumping which is the problem, as much as it's the sheer number of bumps. How many times in your average Edge match does Mr. Copeland violently fling himself backwards onto the canvas? the lead creative force thinks that his wife should "submit to her husband's leadership".I do believe I must insist on further details right here.

kjh Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 the lead creative force thinks that his wife should "submit to her husband's leadership".I do believe I must insist on further details right here. Chapter 35 of Russo's book Rocky Mountains = Rocky Marriage? starts as follows: When the husband honors his wife and she submits to her husband's leadership, God's formula for happiness is in place. 1 Peter 3:1-7 If your marriage is rocky, it is likely that one or both of you have tried to modify this formula. God can restore brokenness and bring blessing out of pain, but you must be willing to obey God's formula in order to receive restoration. Dr. Michael Youssef, founder and pastor of the Church of the Apostles, Atlanta, Georgia I wrote this at TheOtherArena not long after reading the book and it sums up my feelings on the chapter: For all the talk about how Russo has changed, he talks about how he recently uplifted his whole family from Atlanta to Colorado against the wishes of everyone else just because he's always dreamt of living there. I mean I can understand him wanting to move away from Atlanta, the source of all his anxiety, but to choose somewhere where the rest of his family didn't want to move to shows that he's just as selfish post conversion as he was pre conversion. Only now he has religious scripture to back up his conviction that his wife should "submit to her husband's leadership". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Sorrow Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Of course, it's obvious that it would have been worse if Punk wasn't on the debut show on a new network.

sek69 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 How big of a deal is this week's Smackdown anyway? It's been said many times that wrestling fans will find wrestling on TV no matter where you put it, regular viewers of SyFy despise wrestling being placed on their network, and the only place it was even advertised was during RAW.

I dont really buy that as Punk was ECW Champ on Sci Fi and Gallows could have been in Punks position which in my view would have made more sense as he is a big dude while Punk could a have cut a backstage promo.

This may be giving the writers too much credit, but didn't Punk kind of take advantage of the weakened Undertaker a couple of weeks ago? That may explain why he was the one to get beat this week.

Resident Evil Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 If the Undertaker got his powers back, I think you need him destroying someone high on the totem pole to showcase that. Punk is the perfect fit for that. Heel, personality and talent wise. It's a feel good moment for the fans and it's something Punk can recover from since he has the talent.

Loss Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 If your point is that the secret to a healthy relationship is compromise, and sometimes that means the woman giving into what the man wants, and sometimes it doesn't, that isn't really a controversial argument. It's just an odd way to formulate your opinion -- to give credence to Russo's original argument in a way that it doesn't deserve. Russo's argument was not "sometimes yes, sometimes no", for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
