To this day no one outside of those two really knows. One of the creepiest mysteries left in wrestling tbh

I watched a minute or two of the match and it was sick. F that lady. I hope she's banned for life.

 

[mightynine]

They really should start the Vaudevillians intro in black and white.

Y'know, while they still care to do it.

 

[Zach]

This. Its a mystery. There was some real heat between them for some reason and Yoshiko just straight up crossed lines that everyone knows you dont. Act had suffered medical issues with her eye since she was a little girl and dreamed of being a samurai. She learned kendo and was crushed to find people could no long aspire to becoming samurai and somehow ended up near wrestling. Just to compete she had to take drugs for her health that guaranteed she would become infertile just to perform and she did it anyways to find a means to live out a samurai dream in the ring. She put everything out there despite her disability and even turned her blindness into part of her character. She had just received eye surgery when the Yoshiko stuff went down to finally get sight in her eye.

The eye was purposely targeted by Yoshiko and she crushed Act's face in the ring by beating her head until it shattered. Act had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery because Yoshiko literally seemed like she was attempting murder. Not just assault, but straight up trying to kill.

Yoshiko was banned from wrestling after this. Act Yasukawa eventually had to leave wrestling after only a few short years in which time she had become a top performer and champion. Her life story is one that will likely make a ton of money over the years in film and television dramas. She inspired a lot of people with how much she gave.

Craziness.

They seem lazy with it compared to NXT's sepia tone and silent film filter... unless I'm just imagining that.

The curtain part? Yeah it's very weird.


So Ray Traylor was brought in as a jobber at first and he went against......... Tully Cocaine Blanchard

They come out in color on Smackdown? That's awful.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

They come out in color on Smackdown? That's awful.

It goes black and white, but yeah.

 

[NastyBook]

Don't really watch SD that often, but is that really legit boos for the Vaudevillains?

 

[Heroman]

Don't really watch SD that often, but is that really legit boos for the Vaudevillains?

Probably no, WWE has been known to edit the audio for SD.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Don't really watch SD that often, but is that really legit boos for the Vaudevillains?

It sounds edit in.

 

[korly]

Why no WCW / NWO!>!

VPW2 is the ultimate Aki wrestling game. It's got all of the stuff from WCW/nWo Revenge, all the stuff from Wrestlemania 2000 and a crapton more.

 

[LiQuid!]

Dino Bravo? Now that's a first. You might have the most unique favourite five of this thread.

Yo dude, Dino Bravo was in the god damned Canadian Mafia.

 

[MG310]

They come out in color on Smackdown? That's awful.

Their titantron video is in color so the part with the curtain closing and the announcer is full screen in color then it transitions to the arena shot in black and white. Not sure why the video isn't just in black and white to begin with.

Fave Five

Who are these guys?

 

[reptilescorpio]

1. Macho Man
2. Rick Rude
3. Stone Cold
4. Owen
5. Scott Hall

Currently really enjoying KO, AJ, Sasha, New Day & Cesaro again. Outside WWE I'm still a big fan of Kenny Omega, current run by Naito is so damn entertaining. Ricochet is great everywhere too. Need to catch up on the last few weeks of LU.

Kevin Sullivan and,Vader,and DDP are three guys I say should go in.

I thought Vader went in this year?

 

[shaowebb]

Who are these guys?

Terry Funk and The Steiner Brothers.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Yo dude, Dino Bravo was in the god damned Canadian Mafia.

Yep, what a weird way to die.

 

[Dark Ninja]

AJ finally wearing different gear.

Del Rio landed the top rope jump into nothing

Del Rio vs Styles was really good

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Didn't you swear Dean and Bray were ever getting the belt too

lmao pls don't gamble

no i did not.

Spoiler

maybe

and c'mon Bray isn't a bad choice either. Too bad he got hurt.

 

[Dinokill]

Fave Five of All Time:

1-Chris Benoit
2-Stone Cold
3-Mick Foley
4-Shawn Michaels
5-Eddie Guerrero

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Dean and Owen on commentary are pretty good.

 

[mightynine]

They come out in color on Smackdown? That's awful.

No, it's starts in color then when they cut to the stage it's in black and white. Makes more sense to be in B&W the whole time.

I noticed their ring gear was B&W which I think works better for their gimmick, but man, English is pale.

 

[Fox318]

DM's favorite wrestlers

Seth Rollins
Hans Schmidt
Big Vito
Karl Von Brauner
Kurt Von Brauner

I wonder what they have in common?

[JesseEwiak]

For those of you interested, ProWrestlingOnly recently finished eighteen months of discussions, nominations and arguing over various wrestlers that were nominated while watching thousands of hours of footage in the process finished voting with over 150 people putting their opinions in on who is the Greatest Wrestler of All-Time.

Along with this, numerous people have put together podcasts going over and explaining their lists. All in all, over 40+ hours of podcasts have been put out, which are here in a dandy Soundcloud list for your listening pleasure or you can subscribe to the PWO-PTBN Podcast Network to use on your favorite listening device.

Now, these are folks who have watched a lot of wrestling - World of Sport, 70's Japan, 80's Lucha, 00's Japan Indies, and as a result, the voting so far may seem different than say, the normal IWC audience. So yes, your favorite indy guy may not be in the top 25, 50, or even 250.

And here's a link to the actual results.

 

[Mubbed]

Terry Funk
Dory Funk Jr.
Stan Hansen
Steve Austin
Bret Hart

The lack of That Motherfucker Arn Anderson and Dean Malenko in this thread

 

[Mubbed]

You from Texas bro?

No.

 

[Bluekaveli]

No.

Ah okay. I figured you were based on your list. Pretty good.

Oh yay the corporate is imploding. Fuckers.

 

[RBH]

I think tonight I'm taking the diamond cutter.

Rbh, I will never say that to you. I will never put you over.

Ok, I'll put you over, no problem!

 

[Man God]

I think Bret Hart has finally unseated my brother from a different mother Ultimo Dragon as my favorite wrestler of all time. He really is what he says he is.

Bret
Ultimo Dragon
Austin
Owen
Jericho

The lack of That Motherfucker Arn Anderson and Dean Malenko in this thread

Arn is definitely Top Five. Easily.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Fuck, they advertised HHH and Steph to be at the Raw I'm going to.

Fuck.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Ok, I'll put you over, no problem!

Just do the damn job. That's all.


Road Dogg is the new ic champ. I just realized that it has diamonds.

 

[DMczaf]

Hey, I always want to put you guys over.

It's just...hey, it's not my fault that keeping thread posts counts high is with keeping me hot. I really wish I could do the job without costing this thread posts, but that's life.

They're in the McMansion!

The universe literally couldn't take the Wyatts being booked competently for even 2 days. I just feel like that's something that needs to be lingered on

 

[Fox318]

I would love to hear the meetings on why the Goldust-RTruth segments and why it gets TV time.

 

[Jimmy King]

Fandango and Tyler Breeze are just too bright for this era of WWE.
