What are the chances of Sandman showing up tonight?

Id Mark out

What kind of shape is he in?

I think fat RVD would do better.

Size-ist insults already happening again. Bring on the snitches.

 

[slightconfuse]

If only Raven wasn't looking like death these days.

I'd super Mark out for new even flow DDT

Shame we never got raven vs Austin in 1998

Raven reminds me too much of Nirvana

I could not fucking stand Nirvana

 

[bjork]

He should remind you of Offspring

We were having so much fun with the cock rock and then Nirvana kills it

It's cool it was time for change.

 

[JavyOO7]

Raven was fantastic from what I remember in WCW. I would have had him as my world champ. =p

Tonight's the night

 

[Sephzilla]

In hindsight Raven was really under appreciated IMO

how is that the grunge band that you think of and not pearl jam~

 

[slightconfuse]

Smells like Beef Spirit

 

[Browny]

Raven was dope - top quality DDT, up there with Arn and Jake for sure.

* laments over the over-use of DDT as bog-standard move *

My guess for tonight is...

Shane Douglas
Clearly RVD.

 

[Menome]

Watching the RAW after Survivor Series 1998 and...yowzer, that God Father segment. Glad to see some things have improved.

Dean Ambrose turned 30 today, so yay for Ambrose.

If you were going to actually be a pro wrassler, what would your persona be? I know we had a member who actually participated in a league, but sadly I can't recall which person it was offhand.

Added clause: you need a character or a gimmick. You can't just be you with some NXT-style name.

The Social Justice Warrior. Every time I walk into the ring, I lambast the fans for their misogynistic chants towards the women of WWE. I go on to main event WrestleMania against Triple H and avenge Booker T's loss at WM19.

The Miz gets everywhere, doesn't he?

Bryan has had some good music over the years, as has Punk.

WWE actually made a good John Cena shirt. Shame it's likely one he'll never wear.

It would be better if it didn't have JOHN CENA at the bottom or his face right on it. A basic "THE CHAMP IS HERE" shirt would probably sell pretty well

He has shirts he doesn't wear? I like this one.

 

[Kaladin]

I doubt he wears it because it's a part of a new "Vintage" t-shirt line. They also have Stone Cold, Undertaker, Brock Lesnar and others in that variety.

The line also includes one of the better Undertaker shirts.

LAW guys made a great point last night.

Between ECW vs Wyatts and LON vs Roman and friends

Seems like see forgot suvivor series was last,month

 

[The Shapesmith]

I applaud the Raven love in here and will go on record as saying the Dreamer/Raven feud is what got me into ECW. Guy always had really cool angles and storylines, badass finish, the Flock and was a great promo. His WCW run is also really enjoyable and underrated imo. His return to ECW on TNN was one of the better things to happen on that show.

Those vintage tees actually aren't bad.

Might pick up the Austin or Brock one.

[Deleted member 47027]

I wonder what the lists will look like without that torturous European influence. Grado just doesn't work elsewhere.

 

[Caderfix]

Raven is in my all time top 5

Honestly Chikara is the exact opposite from what I want out of wrestling.

Hot Grado take

Spoiler

Grado doesn't even work for me, who lives closer to him than someone in London does.

 

[Kaladin]

Remember when Chikara was the cool kid on the block?

That's what happens when you go supernova carny.

 

[Professor Beef]

Grunge bands all blend together because I never really liked the genre. It was either that or hip hop growing up in the 90s, and my mom raised me on hip hop/r&b, bless her heart.

I stopped following Chikara a while back (even though I still have a UMB avatar) but have heard pretty bad things about them recently. What's been so bad about them?

 

[Kaladin]

Grunge was a poor man's heavy metal. When you didn't want to go full on heavy and couldn't give up clean singing, you went grunge. Only grunge bands I really liked was Alice In Chains and Soundgarden, the rest didn't really grab me beyond a couple of songs.

They had the whole fiasco where they went out of business on top, and after they came back they were just never the same. Personally, I just lost any ability to care for it after that.

Yeh it was after they came back from their hiatus that I started hearing negative stuff about them. Pity, I enjoyed their shows quite a bit when I was watching regularly, although that was quite a while back now.

 

[FlammableD]

The only CHIKARA thing I've seen since the restart was their London show I went to. Fun, and nice to see some of the guys like Ultramantis, but nothing incredible, and all the buzz was gone.

Yes, stuff like not liking CHIKARA is the reason for the whole locking the thread thing.
