Resident Evil Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Steamboat vs Jericho. I can't wait. I've never been this excited for a WWE match in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 There is a guest editorial about Steamboat on the Torch website now called "Keep Dragon Him Out". I am normally a fan of bad puns, but come on. The funny thing about it is that the editorial doesn't say ANYTHING, except that he expects Steamboat to fail. I like the first comment, which calls the piece "melodramatic shite". BTW, I see the term "bike ride" fairly often in discussing older matches. Can someone enlighten me?

Loss Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Is it just me, or is someone using the phrase "on my TV" when talking about wrestling pretty annoying? Yes, because it's only on your TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kronos Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Last night, I was watching the first part of the Nitro in 1998 that was filmed at the dome -- they claimed to have 35,000 people at the show for which the main event was Hogan/Goldberg. Hogan comes out and cuts a promo about how Goldberg ain't nuthin and doesn't deserve to fight him, so he's got some other NWO Brother to fight him instead. It's clear that the people had come to see Hogan/Goldberg. Now, I didn't see the end of the show yet, but I assume Hogan did not wrestle. What were they thinking? Did they think it would just bring some "cool" heel heat? Or did Hogan back out at the last second? Anyway, it was a crappy thing to do to the fans -- especially THAT MANY.

Loss Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Goldberg wrestled twice in the same night. He had to beat Scott Hall earlier in the evening in order to get to Hogan at the end of the show. That's the Nitro where Goldberg won the title.

That's what I get for going to sleep since I put the show on after midnight. LOL So it was a fake swerve. Interesting. I'll finish it tonight, probably.

Loss Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 This company never ceases to amaze. From the latest Powerslam magazine: "Dunn's philsophical overlap with Vince extends beyond wrestling. Like the WWE Chairman, Dunn is an ultra-conservative Republican who supported George W. Bush. In 2004, Dunn earned Vince's compliments when he proudly flouted company policy to wear a giant 'Bush/Cheney 2004' badge to work on the day after the election. In 2008, creative team sources allege that Dunn, ironically, had anyone who wore clothing or merchandise related to the Democratic President-elect formally reprimanded by the company. Meanwhile, sources backstage report overhearing McMahon and Dunn discussing how Obama's policies will so badly damage America's ecomony that periodic cuts in WWE personnel will be required in order for the company to continue to pay their multi-million-dollar executive salaries and stock dividends."

stunning_grover Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I was in attendance at the RAW taping in London, England on April 20 and I can tell you that the original finish of the Kane vs. CM Punk went down a bit different than the version aired on tv. The original finish of the Kane vs. CM Punk match was botched up. Lilian Garcia announced CM Punk as the winner. But, the referee apparently told CM Punk to go back into the ring and do the finish over again. Kane pushed CM Punk and tried to choke slam him. And then they did the finish that was shown on tv. CM Punk pinned Kane for a second time and Lilian Garcia announced CM Punk as the winner for the second time. So, the last 4 seconds of the match of the finish shown on tv was actually the second time CM Punk pinned Kane in a row (they had two pinfalls within a period of about 60 seconds). If you don't believe me... in the tv version of this match, you can see that during the last 4 seconds of the match, almost all of the fans in the front row are standing all of a sudden... while just one second earlier, everyone was still seated. That is because about 60 seconds has been edited out (this includes the botched up finish, Lilian Garcia announcing CM Punk as the winner for the first time and CM Punk going back into the ring and Kane confronting him again). By the way, most of the fans in attendance didn't really mind seeing CM Punk pin Kane twice in a row... but some of them seemed a bit confused. Anyway, not sure if anyone cares. But this is the random comments thread after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many of Vince and Foley's falling-out episodes involved politics, since Mick's an ardent Democrat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 There's got to be about 50 Hawkwind references I could use but I'm blanking on anything but "Motorhead". And if I reference that, I have to get kicked out of the thread for referencing the "wrong drugs". EDIT: Flair's my dad, with golden mane I want your help yet once again That's better.

MikeCampbell Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Meltzer is reporting that the reason for the renewed main event push of CM Punk and the John Morrison face turn is because Undertaker is hurt and Hardy's future is in doubt. Can anyone elaborate on the latter? Is he injured? Wellness issues? Something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
