I think it was Jim Ross that talked about it being added later because of a wrestler's request, so maybe it was Hogan. I don't remember how many details he added.

I only watch WWE and the NXT specials. I still enjoy the podcast.
If you are only going to listen to one episode to check them out listen to this one. It's got a fun Undertaker story from 97.
http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/we-watch-wrestling-podcast/we-watch-wrestling/e/wewatchwrestling-issue-59-35686771
He's one of the 80s/90s Legends, mentioned in the same breaths as Hogan, Piper, Sting etc.
The undefeated-at-Wrestlemania streak was something even I knew about, but I didn't know Brock was the guy who beat it until this bit of recent feuding started.
However...as awesome as it was to see him briefly in action, he is looking old. There's no dancing around it.
Plus he looks like Judge Doom when he glares at someone:
Also, what the fuck was Mid-Life-Crisis Biker 'Taker all about? Hat and duster coat or GTFO.

Should have just asked if she was barbershop thick, but that thread had CreepyGAF's prints all over it. You dance in a minefield, and your luck runs out sooner or later.

No, you don't want that.
Sephzilla "supposedly" did a joke GamerGate post, even though he's the real deal, and will never shake it.

Hey now, Big Evil/Booger Red Taker was a mean promo, and he was a top tier heel. Loved how he didn't give a shit about anybody.
Here are some choice moments
Beats up ric flair's son
Dumps on The Rock
Shuts down what chants
Drags Hogan around on his bike

thought for sure more gifs of Hogan being dragged by the bike would've come up during the scandal a few weeks back

I liked him a lot in WCW. Didn't see too terribly much of his wrassles in Mexico, my main exposure to him was in WCW and he was a bright spot in a DARK time. Enjoyed his finisher, the Nail in the Coffin, a lot as well. I think it was a Michinoku Driver, not sure I remember well however.

I loved Vampiro in that late 2000's WCW period. Should have been much bigger than he was (or Sting let him be if you ask him).

He was being groomed for that, if WCW would have continued he would have been a main event player and was being prepped for it. But then...

WCW's big mistake with Vampiro/Sting is having them appear so similar from a distance.

Vampiro is/was too scrawny to be a main event player, even in WCW's apocalypse

Did you say no to Sting being set on fire or because he swan dived off the turnertron?

Sticking with the Cell here...
Makind vs Undertaker
Pure sordid spectacle.
Lesnar vs Undertaker
Brutality without even having to leave the cell, it can be done!
Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker
Features the glorious debut of Kane, oh and the match is pretty fun as well I suppose.
Triple H vs Batista
It has a barbed wire chair!
Armageddon Hell in a Cell
For the six man clusterfuck novelty.
Man, this gimmick sure got shoddy fast.
These should be on all the Hell in a Cell doors
Woah, actual Kane themed merchandise, a rare sight indeed.
It was going to ruin his face paint.
You can't have that. You have to protect his real face. People can't know the man behind the paint.

He was cool, and could go. Should have been much bigger. I wish WWE could have taken him and made him there own Sting. He was good.

I simply don't believe that
I can't help but feel giddy seeing Liger working with WWE.
Is no Ciampa or Gargano something that could be read in to, or are they even part of the "TV roster"?

I am beginning my journey in watching every Hell in a Cell match (available on the WWE Network). Where do you think I'll give up?

Just before Nash/HHH. I'd be very surprised if you make it up to Christian/Orton

They weren't on the first taping, and to be honest that post I made was the first I heard of Candice, Joey, or Hoyt being involved with them, so who knows
Amell injured in training
Stephen Amell, who is scheduled for a tag team match at SummerSlam, was injured in doing a weight workout this morning.
According to a video he posted, Amell was doing a snatch, which is a lift where you take the bar from the floor to overhead without pausing at the shoulders (which would be a clean and jerk or clean and press). When doing the lift, he ended up smashing the bar into his jaw.
He suffered a cracked jaw, his molars were indented into his tongue and his tongue was swollen. No word on how this may or may not affect his match next week.

My bad, it was apparently Orton/Henry and Orton/Sheamus. Orton's Smackdown run was a bit of a blur for me.

Never knew this happened. What the hell was the point of just throwing this on for five minutes? lol
