Yeah, but can he deliver a WWE promo?

... I'm... Not too sure. His general speaking ability has increased immensely, but I'm not sure if it'd translate well into WWE. Real swell guy, though!

He's going to have a match in about an hour, though, and that'll make me forget all about whatever the quality of his promos is.

Dem acting chops. HBK would have killed it in WWE Films.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Talked to him a few hours earlier, and saw him at the start of a show. He's definitely improved promo-wise since WWE.

I bet he can make Roman Reigns look really strong

 

[Frecklestein]

damn it Shelton, if you could cut a decent promo, you would have been a star

also, the momma gimmick didn't help either

Let's be REAL, the being black gimmick didn't help him in the WWE. The Gold Standard was money.

Also, what's the consensus around here when it comes to Perry Saturn?

bruh, do you not see the color of his skin?

He had no chance at being a star

 

[strobogo]

Independent wrestling is the best. You get to sit down and see everything, even if you're short.

Something something BronsonLee something something camera man.

I've spent an unimaginable amount of time going through Terry "The Hulk" Boulder's filmography, and I can say that the only quality thing he ever did was Thunder In Paradise and Thunderlips.

No Holds Barred is INCREDIBLE.

Perry Saturn is solid. Loved his Flock work.

[Deleted member 47027]

Orndorff talked abotu how he was supposed to be a villain in First Blood and that he had the role, but he went to do a show for Vince (even with his messed up arm starting to bother him) and I pictured Orndorff as a power abusive small town cop and was saddened that it didn't happen.

Goddamn he would make such a heel cop.

This Roland Bock dude is German TMF. Also the promotion he was in would play late 70s German metal between rounds.


Laurent Bock on NJPW World for some reason. There is one other weirdly misnamed guy on there but I'll let people figure that out on their own or you'll see it when I do my next Inoki Era: NJPW ON TOUR Sponsored by Takis.

Yep, he'll flip it and sign it and sell them to people at the cons.

Anyone know how WWE decides to allow some guys to keep their names (like Punk or Batista) and gives fake names to others?

It's in negotiations. Also, technically Batista's name is "Bautista."

Never heard of him before but found a German Wikipedia article about the guy. Has an amateur wrestling background and in pro wrestling he was known as a no-seller and shooter.

Listening to Alvarez and Meltzer I kinda want to see the UFC from yesterday for AJ's reactions. Apparently she did not look comfortable watching these fights from first row.

Punk and MVP are the only ones to keep their names. Don't think wwe was in copyright everything mode in 2005.

Also Heyman did some politicizing

I feel like Maria gifs from World Tag league are unavoidable at this point. They just have to show up in this thread at some point.

It'll probably get 100 more viewers with that move.

Do any of you watch Fighting Spirit Wrestling on the Fight Network? It's pretty much what the AXS New Japan show sounds like it's going for.

Survivor Series. He said "Imma make it Reign up in this BITCH!"

it's the only thing that popped the crowd

He also said it months ago on Raw. Alucard was in the crowd. He called Kane "Trippa Aches BITCH"

it pops the crowd every time.

That's why we make fun of it. It's a crutch to get the crowd to pop.

 

[Alucard]

Watching World Tag League from New Japan. Can someone give me some background? Is this a one-night tournament, or are these the finals of a multi-day event? And how does this particular show/tournament work?

Didn't they have aaron paul on RAW a while back? Maybe he passed it along.

Friend Heel would probably like the wrestling fans to come back to the MMA thread so they can have their first new one in 3 years.

Heel understands that brevity is the soul of wit, friend strobogo.

Cool, and was today's/yesterday's show the finals?

EDIT: Just checked. Yes it was.

But don't Gallows and Anderson have to defend their titles at this event too?
