Before Jason Alberts joined the pre-shows, I don't think I've ever heard him speak. It's weird cause he's been with WWE for a while off and on.

Based on his commentary, his promos would have been "OOUUUHHH" and "I LOVE IT" in different combinations over and over.

Hadn't seen this before, Flair vs Steamboat from 1978 with Andre as the guest referee;

This is ridiculous, the only footage I can find of Matt Bloom talking as Albert, Prince Albert or A-Train is him telling Big Show that he's not the Big Boss Man (???) in 1999. The dude was IC champion at some point, he's got to have had promos.

I've heard more from Funaki than I've heard from him. That's so sad.

Indeed.

fuckin OUCH

smoother framerate makes it even more brutal

 

[Laserfrog]

Are there any fat flair matches out there in video land? When he was all big.

 

[blackaroni]

Indeed.

Ugh. Cena, you won. Go away now.

 

[Phatmac]

Recap time with Cena!

 

[melonrabbit]

Is this Cena recap a normal occurrence?

:\

 

[blackaroni]

Get it? Her name is Paige.

 

[slightconfuse]

Borationns!

Where's Shane?

 

[Rapstah]

Albert was trained in the PPW developmental territory in Memphis in 1999, winning the PPW Heavyweight Championship off Jerry Lawler in a tournament. He wrestled as Baldo in that territory, which named his finisher, the Baldo Bomb, even as Albert. Later the same move was renamed the Derailer as he turned into A-Train whose gimmick was that he was literally a locomotive.

Albert's first televised loss in WWF was to Shawn Stasiak, under his Meat gimmick.

I could list stupid Albert trivia all day. I like the dude. He was to 1999 what Brodus Clay could have been two years ago if he was better in the ring. I wonder if that's why they teamed up.

[Spiderjericho]

Where's Shane?

I thought Vince had a son named Paul who had an incestous romance with his sister Steph.

 

[DMczaf]

He's got a beard! And wears flannel! Rolling Stone and E! will talk to us now!

 

[Fourth Storm]

Is this Cena recap a normal occurrence?

:\

Yup, the amount of exposition in his promos is just maddening.

 

[blackaroni]

Shake those tits girl!

 

[Phatmac]

Cesaro time!

 

[Shadowlink]

I thought Vince had a son named Paul who had an incestous romance with his sister Steph.

Paul Heyman had a relationship with Stephanie McMahon?!

 

[HerbertFish]

Jesus the pumped in crowd is ridiculous this week

 

[Phatmac]

So what's Cesaro's theme now?

 

[Dick Justice]

Just watched the Cesaro-Big Shoe match on Youtube, funny how they edited out the botched first attempt at the Neutralizer.

 

[Rapstah]

Albert has/had an 8-0 undefeated streak against Mike Awesome, and a 14-0 undefeated streak against Alex Riley.

 

[melonrabbit]

Starting to see why gaf dislikes him so much.

My only other experience with him was a Howard Stern interview. He wasn't too bad on that.

 

[Ripclawe]

TAKE HIS AIR!!!!

good advice

 

[jred2k]

I can't believe Guida is still around. I thought he was close to be cut years ago because he was on a bad losing streak.

Also, I wish Bo had called his occupy NXT thing the Bo-Will Movement. I would have loved hearing the NXT crowd chant "Bo-Will Movement" so it sounds like "Bowel Movement".

 

[blackaroni]

TIL Alex Riley had at least 14 matches.

Does he chant something when he comes to the ring?

 

[Rapstah]

House shows count because otherwise the statistics sound lame as hell.

The Miz has a 5-0 undefeated streak against Albert!

 

[HerbertFish]

They need a piece of the trophy to carry around for Cesaro

 

[HerbertFish]

Good lord cesaro.


are they really going with this heel thing though

 

[KissVibes]

THE MOST IMPRESSIVE STREAK OF ALL TIME.

Doesn't he also have his own reality show about fly fishing or whatever?

 

[HerbertFish]

Yes bo dallas promo

 

[Aiii]

I really need to get back into ROH, but who has the time?

 

[Ravager61]

Trips face has me rolling

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

I would actually say PG starts with 2007, with the death of Benoit.

Edit: This works too.

I'm sure it was already addressed but these damn topics get really moving. Technically the PG-Era started in 2008 on the back of the Mattel deal starting. Wasn't just Mattel though, WWE wanted to attract a wider range of sponsors/partners that they couldn't with racier content along with attracting more of the kids and try and rebuild their younger audience.

 

[HerbertFish]

Lol when Rybaxel get pushed because they are the only heel tag team on the roster

 

[blackaroni]

RVD should never speak again.

 

[HerbertFish]

Sandow brought to in to die again

 

[Vylash]

Good lord cesaro.


are they really going with this heel thing though

Probably just until he takes the IC title from Big E, nobody's gonna be mad at him for that

 

[Phatmac]

Sandow getting buried again lol.

 

[blackaroni]

Probably just until he takes the IC title from Big E, nobody's gonna be mad at him for that

Not at all.

 

[slightconfuse]

I really need to get back into ROH, but who has the time?

Every episode of their Tv show is on their website.

Their wrestlemania show is up for VOD

Also alucard does recaps of every episode !

 

[somedevil]

Good lord cesaro.

I think there belief is they need more Main Event heels right now. Bet they will turn Sheamus soon. Bryan needs some people to go against.

 

[HerbertFish]

Agreed they desperately need more main event heelsbut the Cesaro stuff just seems forced. The crowds love him and he's got the most baby face move ever

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Does he chant something when he comes to the ring?

"YEP YEP YEP"

 

[BHZ Mayor]

They're not gonna let this "Yeslemania" thing go are they?
