Maybe some wrestlers don't want to kill the industry like Daniel "This Is Fiction" Bryan

jericho refers to singer and fellow piece of shit Cee Lo Green as "Cee Lo Brown" on his podcast without giving it a second thought, his interviewee agrees and doesn't try to correct it.

This is the best. If I wasn't so committed to Chun-Li avatars I would use this.
WrassleGAF or you personally? Seems like the community accepted it just fine. But the OP doesn't matter. You only read it once and it's content doesn't influence the rest of the month anyway. Anyone who DID have problems with it should leave the community, because there is no way around it: If the OP this month bothered you, you're a misogynistic shit head.
They all need to tweet in character if their Twitter is under their wrestling names.

I was listening to Austin's podcast with Heyman, and Heyman talked a bit about Bam Bam. I don't know if any of it's true. I suppose I could just look at Bam Bam's wiki page. But anyway, Heyman said that Bam Bam used to be a bounty hunter, and he ended up going to jail because he detained someone illegally. He ended up at a wrestling school after he got out because he was looking for a job, they had him get in the ring and do some stuff and he took to it almost instantly.
We've talked before about Brock and Angle being as being two of the guys that picked up wrestling the fastest, I think Bam Bam is a solid contender for the list.

Bam bam is better than chun li
Says you.
In his shoot interview he talked about stumbling around drunk in New Jersey and basically being homeless, so it's possible. I know he had an attitude/ego problem originally according to a lot of wrestlers due to him working with Hogan at such a young age. Andre dealt with him and you can see it in their match ups together where Andre's stiffing him.
He's one of the guys Nash and Hall have no problem putting over as an amazing worker even if they have personal problems. Bam Bam doesn't get near enough credit for his bumping and selling. Look at the way he looks, you could never believe someone like that to have incredible babyface heat, but Bam Bam did strictly based on his selling. He's a monster but watch the Survivor Series with him vs Andre as the last two. Or watch his matches against Vader. Fantastic selling.

If anyone has a new 3DS, Out Run 3D is amazing... really impressive 3D effects.
Smackdown had some good matches last night with Bryan/Sheamus and Ambrose/Harper although Ambrose pulled out a ridiculously cheesy version of his rebound lariat. I think he should chill with that move for a bit.

If they don't give Roman a mic, how is he supposed to get better?
The jack and the bean stock promo was a low point in his career, and will be on a top 10 somewhere on the network one day.

I watched Vader vs Bam Bam on NJPW World and it was great. Loved it.
I also watched the six man tag that happened after that. I've never really seen Steve Williams wrestle. Dude was crazy fast for his size.
It's fun to try and piece together what's happening in the ring and with the crowd with absolutely no context and no understanding of the language. In that six man tag, it seemed like the crowd was clamoring for Koji Kitao to get into the ring, and then he absolutely sucked, so once he tagged out Hashimoto and the guy whose name escapes me right now (I'm sorry) refused to tag him back in. Then by the end of the match the crowd seemed to be booing Kitao and cheering for Vader.
I looked it up and I guess Kitao was a former sumo wrestler who got kicked out of sumo for having an attitude problem, then got kicked out of AJPW for making racist comments towards Riki Choshu. After that, he had a falling out with another organization because he was booked to lose to John Tenta, so he got on the mic and said wrestling is fake because if it were real he would never lose to Tenta. Guy seems like a real piece of work.

Well in his defense, John Tenta was a butt
Tenta is considered one of the nicest guys in wrestling. What are you talking about?

I was wondering why you kept prodding. There is the payoff.
I didn't have a problem with it personally. I just saw some questioning of it in the March thread. It was more about the timing of it. Not the content. I think you are reading into it wrong.
I love women, and especially women wrestlers, They are amazing, and so sexy.

So I been listening to wrestler themes lately and while Balor's theme is still fantastic, it doesn't keep me coming back like Rusev's theme.
I am retroactively changing my vote in 2014 from Balor to Rusev.

I was a bit disappointed Rusev didn't have his theme playing whilst riding the Tank at WM. Bad move imo, would have been tits and more fitting.

I gotta disagree. The Russian National Anthem is prolly the greatest anthem in the world. Hearing that and seeing him come out on a fucking tank can't be beaten. It was like something straight out of Rocky IV.
Yes vs YEAOHH!

Eh, I wanted it to kick in when he climbed down from the tank and walked down the ramp with the flag myself.
But I'm glad you like the theme as I do. One of the few I don't fast forward.

You damn fantasy bookers acting like WWE would ever acknowledge another promotion, much less NJPW, is killing me. They're too obsessed with protecting the brand and cementing Bryan's legacy as a B+ player to ever make something cool like inter-promotional matchups happen.
You mean like how just a few nights ago they inducted a NJPW wrestler into their HOF and showed clips of him in NJPW? Or how they did the same thing with Antonio Inoki a few years ago? Or how they frequently have articles about NJPW/CZW/ROH/IWA/Chikara on their website? And just did an angle with UFC's biggest star?
The only time WWE has ever been truly isolationist was at the peak of the Golden Era. Before and after, they mentioned companies they had working agreements with, past histories, and so on. Now they release DVDs with ROH/IWA footage on it.

I just read the Justin Roberts article. Powerful yet unfortunately unsurprising. I hope everyone reads it at some point, if they haven't already.

Out of nowhere
He did a lot of WWF stuff in the late 70s/early-mid 80s. Makes enough sense. There aren't many Japanese dudes who make more sense than Fujinami and Inoki.

-HOF is not a storyline, dude used to wrestle in WWE
-Inoki once won the WWF title
-Website is not the televised product
-UFC is not a direct competitor to WWE
To post this you'd have to have the memory of a goldfish and completely forgotten the entire "angle" of Sting having just "vanished" for 14 years as if TNA doesn't exist (rightfully so, some might say) - and WWE has never done inter-promotional events. They want you to believe that WWE is the only wrestling in the world that matters and everything else is some crappy indie, at best. When hyping up Brock Lesnar's achievements they never mention his NJPW championship run, only the UFC and WWE championships.
This is the WWE "Universe" and everything else is quite simply beneath them. Corporate will never let their "talent" wrestle anyone outside of WWE, especially if it's just to get over with some internet smart marks.
