On another note i'm legit shook over pipers passing I was probably five,six around his heyday and watched wrestling with my uncles,cousins,grandpa he was very charismatic and demanded your attention he was truly a trail blazer and I can't believe how bummed out I am about it

Love that Naito has this new move to counter the rainmaker while Gito just headbutts the fuck out of Okada
yup, they kept him around just long enough so that he couldn't sue, they told him he had a job for life and they fired him soon after

That DUI thread is sad. Dude is a total doormat. Just down on himself 100%
The thing I don't get about #FakeGate is the wrestlers that are upset about it being called fake when none of them are like some hardcore kayfabe protecting guys.
Like if you ain't doing some 'I won't travel with faces because I'm a heel' or some 'Vader choking a news reporter on camera' level of protecting kayfabe, why the fuck are you so upset when people call it fake? You let it get that way.
The fuck in a tag team called 'DIRTY HEELS' is mad about his fake sport being called fake

Dana's done worse and deserves much more hate for that worse shit, not this
Fuck him for what he did to Stitch

I don't follow UFC. Who is stitch and what happened to him?
I think WCW Raven is my favorite midcarder of all time. His gimmick, once you kind of figure it out, is SO good. It's permanent midcard status and any thoughts that it should go further than that(and i had those when I was younger) is ridiculous, but it pretty much stamps him right below main eventers in an upper tier of mid card without ever seeming like he was some main eventer power level so that you could buy all kinds of people beating him with the right booking.
His promos were pretty solid, but they became fantastic when you realized his character wasn't the edgelord that you initially thought he was. That you kind of discover, even pre-Middle Class Raven promo, that he was a whiny manipulative asshole coward heel that played the cool heel and it threw people off. He had such a good way of getting heat with the crowds, his moveset wasn't amazing, but it was perfectly effective for this kind of character and it made his babyface opponents with more fancy movesets stand out all the more. The Flock gimmmick, the constant whining while still being an evil asshole. He was like a smart coward heel. The only real flaw was the dumb masochism gimmick they tried to get him over with initially because it didn't fit his 'actor' character. They offloaded that shit onto Vampiro later on when it didn't work.

All three companies were super fun in that time, brother.

One of the best cutmen in sports, Dana personally hired him 16 years ago and they've been friends ever since
Then the Reebok sponsorship deal happened, cutmen got screwed in pay, and Stitch publicly pointed it out
So Dana fired him, said he didn't know the meaning of the word 'friend', and promised he'd never come back

This looks photoshopped. Why are Nash and Raven both looking at Goldberg?
And why is Hogan saying "pull my finger"?

Ronda thanked Piper after killing a woman in 34 seconds
That was cool of her.

You work with Inafune-san?
He's been with us for a couple of weeks and this was my first time dealing with him. Not a fan of people who act like they did everything on their own, so that bridge is burned.
Not going out of my way again. #Shoot
Inafune's never going to have to work another day in his life, jack

Sorry I'm late. I was taking my mid-afteroon/evening nap. What did I miss?
They had footage of Shawn Michaels and Diesel at the 1995 and 1996 MTV Rock n Jock Softball games!
Remember Rock n Jock?
