Watching that Kane 2000 Raw clip reminds me, you just don't get wrestlers going through the roster like a one man army nearly enough these days, which is bizarre when you get these Lesnar related moments on modern Raw (like against Taker and more recently Strowman) when the roster is in there doing the "hold them back!" thing, sure a few guys get bowled over in the process but it's not the same.
Best we get now is beating up the Miz mob or flavourless security.
All these hoss' on the roster and not even getting to storm through the 205 live crew.

Today is Vince McMahon's birthday. Some say it'll be his last.

He will outlive us all.

 

[jmdajr]

I wonder if WWE fans in Chorpus Christi will even react to the Hurricane coming towards them.

for one second i genuinely thought that this mean gregory helms was returning to the wwe in their next show run in that place

 

[RecRoulette]

Shame he's blind though.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Jericho jumping to WWE was still pretty reported even back then. Shit, the crowd for his debut has a bunch of Jericho signs all over the place

It was reported, but the vibe of 'sheets' then was way different then now. We all knew it was coming, but we didn't have people posting 'he's definitely here' the moment shows started.

God damn our carny minds.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

God damn our carny minds.

I loved the Hurricane. I had the mask and everything from a double pack with him and Rosey.

 

[Draxal]

Man, Mojo is like the only person willing to be shown with Enzo on instagram these days.

 

[Menome]

It's always been theorized that Vince is possibly bi, seems possible.

Ive heard on good authority that Vince McMahon likes big sweaty men.

Rosey. May he rest in peace.

 

[miserable]

I miss those Triple Crown belts, they looked great

 

[serenewarfare]

So I was spoiled on the result of one first round MYC match (Rachael Ellering vs. Marti Belle), but Meltzer had an interesting story about it in the Observer.

Spoiler

Apparently Marti Belle was supposed to be pushed well in the tournament and they wanted her to be something, but she was so bad in that first match that they made the decision halfway through it to change the finish and have Ellering go over, squashing the whole idea of pushing Marti.

 

[Caspel]

In exchange for Jason Jordan, Kurt Angle helped Daniel Bryan sign Shelton Benjamin. I'd say that is a great "move" for Bryan. Now he needs to somehow get something for John Cena in return.

John Cena was a free agent. There's no storyline reason that Bryan would get anything from his departure.

He was out of contract, soooo

She also apparently had major heat.

I thought heat was good

For what?

Zach's fave McMahon moment.

It makes me so uncomfortable and ashamed.

 

[miserable]

Hey Beefy, why do they call sausages "bangers" in the UK?

 

[Sephzilla]

4 K B O Y Z

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Anybody here going to watch Triplemania on Twitch?

 

[FlammableD]

Trent Seven is on the Chris Hero diet.

Or maybe he just ate Chris Hero.

 

[Beefy]

Hey Beefy, why do they call sausages "bangers" in the UK?

Only northerners do, Southerners it's sausages.

Bangers are so-called because after the First World War there was little meat in sausages -- just scraps, cereal and water -- so they sizzled and spluttered a lot when they were frying. It sounded as if there were mini explosions, or bangs, going on, hence the name bangers.

 

[slightconfuse]

Anybody here going to watch Triplemania on Twitch?

I think everyone will be watching the other carny sideshow that day

 

[Beefy]

Do I watch Lucha tonight?

 

[excelsiorlef]

Jericho jumping to WWE was still pretty reported even back then. Shit, the crowd for his debut has a bunch of Jericho signs all over the place

Yeah I knew.

 

[Caspel]

He was out of contract, soooo

LOL He was a free agent for months and still worked on Smackdown. If they truly wanted to use that free agent storyline properly, they should have had Angle and Bryan trying to convince him their show is better for him to join.

 

[Dental Plan]

Elaine Benes knows heat. She hangs out with Costanza and he gets X-Pac levels of heat in Seinfeld.

 

[Rhaknar]

Floyd v Connor has a fake belt?

...

like Million Dollar man?

fucking carnies

 

[FlammableD]

If some co-opted I do fed can book LIJ vs BSS

That would be great

this is probably as close as you'll get:

 

[Sephzilla]

Nobody on Seinfeld gets X-Pac heat

 

[serenewarfare]

If some co-opted I do fed can book LIJ vs BSS

That would be great

AFAIK, New Japan doesn't want their guys to work with WWE guys.

Meltzer said the reason RevPro doesn't book the WWE guys is because they don't want to upset NJPW.

 

[FlammableD]

Do I watch Lucha tonight?

Might be worth a look.

The quarters of the WCPW World Cup start at 9 (just over 3 hours from this post) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTJyYbWS9PE

 

[miserable]

I see.

Here's a real banger

 

[Dental Plan]

George Costanza:
Doesn't read a book, visits a family (whom he doesn't know) to watch the movie instead of reading he book, spills juice on the couch. X-Pac heat.

Leaves a expensive hat at a woman's house who doesn't want anything to do with him. X-Pac heat.

Avoids a woman so she doesn't break up with him. X-Pac heat.

 

[Sephzilla]

Oh you meant X-Pac heat with other characters in the show

 

[miserable]

Don't forget about the double dip. That got him some serious heat.

I think it's a lot looser. You had BSS vs The Elite recently, and the New Japan guys went over. Plus Takahashi is wrestling Connors tonight

Yeah, it's confusing as fuck.

Possible NXT taping spoiler?

Sounds like Jazzy Gabert / Alpha Female will be at the tapings tonight.
