You should have played blue eyes white dragon.

That would have done the trick.

I used my last one on Professor Beef a long time ago.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Off off topic.

I don't get why Frankman's ban was so short. The three times I was banned, they were all a month, so I thought that was the standard rate. I see some people get preferential treatment. I wonder who Frankman performed sexual acts for for a reduced sentence...

 

[Entropia]

Supposedly, next week's Hall of Fame inductee announcements will be Yokozuna and Mil Mascaras.

Wasn't Mil Mascaras announced when they were in Mexico?

Yokozuna is an odd choice. I mean, a lot of people knew who he was back in his heyday, but he was around for 4 years at the most.

So no Randy Savage then? Don't they usually only do one deceased wrestler a year.

Looks like 6 actually. 1992-1998.

Edit: Nevermind, he wasn't active those last 2 years.

I got banned for six months back in December 2009 for saying "I wonder how many of those Xbox 360 sales were people buying new consoles after the MW2 mass piracy bans?" in the November 2009 NPD thread. A fuckface mod seemed to perceive that as fanboyism, despite the fact I didn't even own a PS3 at the time and banned me for six months. I almost didn't come back.

Bans are all over the place.... and vary by mod.

I got a 2 days ban for posting a rickroll (years back)

A 6 month ban for saying fuck you to Blackace

A three month ban for telling someone to go fuck their Forza disk (also years back)

A 2 week ban for joking about Renegade Ops - duckroll was in a bad mood

..and a weird 1 month ban for posting Battlestar Galactica quotes during ApocalyPS3 - which I still think was a mistake.

But, No more bans for me, I am a good R-Truth now.

To be fair, it clarified who it was to me

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Looks like 6 actually. 1992-1998.

Yoko's last appearance on TV was Survivor Series 1996, so 4 years on TV. They sent Yoko out to lose a massive amount of weight. They weren't happy with his progress and saw him to be an extreme health liability, so they cut him in 1998 after he was unable to pass a physical from the New York State Athletic Commission.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Haha. Touché.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I don't give a shit if that guy sees this anyways if he's even still around. It was one of the dumbest, most shortsighted bans I've ever seen, and I'm not saying it just because it was me.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Yes.

The lesson here is and always is...Never go to Gaming side

Never post to gaming side

Never talk about anyones consoles

Never talk about anyones games

Don't say the F word "Fanboys"

You go to gaming side you're entering no mans land.

Fuck gaming side

Yeah I said it.

 

[IC_Champion]

That Ryder injury is clearly a work. It might even WWE writing him off for a while in response to the ratings.



I really like Otunga's current gimmick and enjoy whenever he gets air time. Honestly he could do so much better than Jennifer Hudson it's not even funny.

I agree.

 

[Kaladin]

OMG Heee's baaaack!

 

[GBONZZZZ]

Just curious, how many more people are worthy of being inducted into the HOF? As stated in the get to know you questionnaire, I started watching in the 2000's. I mean, I know of a lot of wrestlers who were great in the 80-90's, but aren't most of the memorable ones in the HOF already?

 

[Entropia]

They weren't happy with his progress and saw him to be an extreme health liability, so they cut him in 1998 after he was unable to pass a physical from the New York State Athletic Commission.

Doesn't his Wiki page state he eventually started intentionally gaining mass? :\

At an estimated 760 pounds, he had not only gained the weight that he had lost but admitted he was intentionally getting bigger with a goal weight between 850 and 900 pounds

Damn son

 

[krae_man]

But, No more bans for me, I am a good R-Truth now.

Didn't you also get banned for saying "play the console version" in a thread with people complaining about a bad PC port?

 

[Entropia]

This is just a trick to get WrassleGAF to buy in hopes of Joker Sting...

 

[Professor Beef]

I got banned for 2 weeks for asking where I could find scans, which was interpreted as me asking for someone to post the scans in a famitsu thread.

I was never able to find them. :lol

Triple H is coming soon - which will be glorious and possibly held on a floating gravity defying stage. The Rock is still not inducted either

 

[Judderman]

There's an old saying on WrassleGAF that says fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again.

That was Renegade Ops - which was a joke. I even had the PC version preordered at the time, and even gifted two versions to GAF. I blame Sega for pushing the game back so much, and making duckroll insane.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

I want to get to know more of you better, so fill out this little survey! Especially if you're a lurker - we can all connect in better ways and share our love for wrasslin' together!

Honestly I like Otunga, the guy actually works hard at house shows and the like

Favorite 3 wrestlers of all time:
1. Stone Cold

WM IX at Caesers palace, I specifically remember hating IRS

Favorite promo, or promos?

Funniest wrasslin' memory?
FUNKASAURUS

Favorite finisher?
Stunner

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Yes.

The lesson here is and always is...Never go to Gaming side

Sad but true. I stay pretty far away from gaming-side despite being a pretty big gamer.

OT is good, and quiet, and you're not usually banned by surprise because someone's got a weenie-on for a PC game, etc. That, plus we know how to conduct ourselves. I hung my head low when some sad shit made a topic called "what game would you want to be buried with?"

Sad shit.

This is why I rep Wrassle-GAF!

 

[BillRiccio]

Favorite 5 wrestlers of all time:
1. Foley

Figure 4

At this point the HOF could use a reboot. There are too many joke and "celebrity" inductees

But as of right now you still have most of the 90s stars, a handful of WCW stars, and then the Attitude era is filled with guys yet to be inducted

 

[Keyser Soze]

Odds are they will probably try and induct Stacy and Torrie this year or next - solely because of their current relationships in the hope of mainstream media attention. However, in saying that, they are good divas to choose too.

 

[Kaladin]

It looks like the Ring of Honor 10th Anniversary Show will be an iPPV!!!!

http://www.gfl.tv/Events/Fight/Wrestling/Ring_of_Honor__10th_Anniversary_Show/1319

And good new for Broke Gaf, it is only $9.99!!

This show is taking place in the Hammerstein Ballroom and no matches have been announced yet but it will probably serve to set up the Wrestlemania weekend shows like last year's did.

Not surprising. That's why Rocky Johnson and Peter Maivia are in the Hall of Fame.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

btw I am really enjoying a lot of your 'first wrestling memory' stories. So cool to see what hooked people.

 

[El Pescado]

So this WrassleGAF questionnaire has me thinking, what's everyone's Top 10 Favorite Matches?

Mine in no particular order are:

Austin vs. Bret Hart - WMXIII
Austin vs. Dude Love - Over the Edge '98
Austin vs. HBK - WMXIV
Jericho vs. HBK - WMXIX
Jericho vs. HBK - Ladder Match - No Mercy '08
Mankind vs. HBK - Mind Games
Undertaker vs. HBK - WMXXVI
Cena vs. HBK - Raw from London - 4/23/07
Edge vs Mick Foley - WMXXII
CM Punk vs Cena - Money in the Bank 2011

Spoiler

That's right; TWO Cena matches. :lol

Spoiler

And ZERO Blandy Boteton matches.

 

[Uno Venova]

Favorite 3 wrestlers of all time:
1. Kurt Angle
2. Stone Cold
3. Chris Jericho

Current Fave Five:
1. Cody Rhodes
2. Dolph Ziggler
3. Yeah that's it.

Earliest wrasslin' memory?
When Undertaker came back at Judgement Day as the badass. I was watching with my cousins and just saw some tall motherfucker take out like 20 people on his own, instand fan of Undertaker and wrestling.

Favorite promo, or promos?
The Rock and Chris going back and forth on Raw.

The Rock's Thanksgiving on Smackdown

All the Rock and Hurricane backstage segments.

Funniest wrasslin' memory?
Kurt and Brock

Stone Cold vs DX was one of my favorite Smackdown shows.

Favorite Finisher.
Stunner, F5, Sweet chin music.

Wrassle-GAF and the OT itself are the prime era WCW/NWO to the Gaming sides "CZW" and "Hulk Hogan's midget wrestling"

Crazyness. The Edge-Orton match that was supposed to happen in the UK that got bumped because Randy Orton RKO'd a hotelroom was awesome and up there for me.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

So this WrassleGAF questionnaire has me thinking, what's everyone's Top 10 Favorite Matches?

Man.

Mine will end up looking like a WCW Nitro card, because almost all of my favorites were with right-at-their-prime-yet-veterans against up and comers. Things like Curt Hennig vs Perry Saturn.

 

[GBONZZZZ]

At this point the HOF could use a reboot. There are too many joke and "celebrity" inductees

But as of right now you still have most of the 90s stars, a handful of WCW stars, and then the Attitude era is filled with guys yet to be inducted

Yeah, like when I saw Drew Carey in there, I was thinking to myself that they've run out of inductees.

 

[Perspicacity]

Not surprising. That's why Rocky Johnson and Peter Maivia are in the Hall of Fame.

Rocky Johnson probably could've made it on his own merits alongside Tony Atlas.

Probably right about Peter Maivia though

I have to think about this. It would have a mix of WWE, WCW and ROH for sure. But it would require some thinking.

 

[Evening Musuko]

Favorite 3 wrestlers of all time:
1. Stone Cold
2. Keiji Mutoh
3. Chris Jericho

Current Fave Five:
1. "Funkasaurus" Brodus Clay
2. "Hi, my name is" Dolph Ziggler
3. "Soul Man" Danny B
4. "Mr. Excitement" Johnny Ace
5. "Charles Montgomery" Punk

Earliest wrasslin' memory?
Can't remember exactly, but I remember reading about AAA in a Lucha Libre Magazine. This was back in their early years when they were huge. So around 93-94ish. I was actually a bigger Lucha Libre fan than I was a WWF or WCW fan at first.

Favorite promo, or promos?
Way too many but one that sticks out would be Vince and Shane McMahon on Raw AND Nitro at the same time. Even today that still freaks me out. Shame that the Invasion sucked a huge bag of dicks.

Funniest wrasslin' memory?
Again way too many. Funkasaurus and Danshoku Dino's "No Laughing"...thing are two recent ones. Santino's antics in 2007 were probably the funniest things since I started re-watcing WWE back in mid 2007. Sin Cara Botching in NWA was funny too.

Favorite finisher?
Crippler Crossface
Honorable mention: Poison Mist (Not really a finishing move but I always mark out for it)

 

[NihonTiger90]

At this point they still have off the top of my head for easy ones:

Sting

[Keyser Soze]

Angle will get into the HOF too - once he gets out of TNA. I don't think they will hold that against him
