Why didn't the cops show up when Undertaker tried to embalm Steve Austin?

ive never watched the ministry stuff, is that easy to look for on the network?

and was this pre - IT WAS ME AUSTIN? because Vince seems pretty angry at Undertaker there.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Cops in the 'kayfabe zone' are unstoppable. It's like asking for the Eagles in LOTR.

 

[Skyward Sheep]

I think the miscarriage angles are the worst. Those are just distasteful and uncomfortable.

This discussion raises questions about the legality of buried alive matches

 

[Chris R]

Are house shows worth paying $25 to watch?

I say this as a person who watches maybe 10 minutes a month of RAW when there is nothing else on TV.

Do you have fun at live wrestling events?

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

i mean, that's a valid question to ask. Undertaker straight up tried to murder someone

Undertaker also ultimately copped to killing his parents, too. Dude's basically a serial murderer!

Didn't they say in the storyline that the cops thought it was all a publicity stunt during Stephanie's "abduction?" Probably the same thing.

Yeah, this was all build-up to the Corporate Ministry and was mostly from Feb to June 1999, IIRC.

house shows are generally just wrestling with no stupid storyline bullshit.

and since house shows are basically non-canon for storyline, crazy shit can happen

Shit, I forgot about that.

Yeah, I can take suspension of disbelief only so far. Attitude Era Undertaker straight up confesses to murdering people and attempts to murder someone on live television.

 

[HazySaiyan]

Best 'why didn't they just call the cops' moment is Carlito getting his bodyguard to stab John Cena and then settling it in a match.

 

[Kaladin]

Depending on the markets, house shows can also be family friendly events with more of an emphasis on kid friendly characters and a shorter 2 hour run time.

 

[Bluekaveli]

oh god how could I forget the Big Boss Man and Big Show feud.

*cue that awesome card*

 

[Zach]

There's absolutely no reason for them. Stupid, desperate, shameful.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

If he's barely ready I think they'll throw him in the Andre memorial.

As the trophy?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Snitsky made chicken salad out of that chicken shit though

Yes, yes it is worth it.

I've never been before.

 

[Kaladin]

I've never been before.

Then you should go. No more debating. Just do it.

 

[Bluekaveli]

They didn't waste any time at all.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I've never been before.

Live wrestling shows are usually pretty fun. Most of my friends who don't like wrestling who have come along have always had a great time.

Have a few beers and heckle anyone you don't like.

 

[Kaladin]

Also, if you've never been, it's worth it to pay as much as you can for the closest seat available.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I fully believe we can kiss any plan they had for Reigns changing his character one iota if Rollins goes down for half a year or whatever.


Fuck.

Also, if you've never been, it's worth it to pay as much as you can for the closest seat available.

Except close as possible goes from a 35$ night to a 150$ night...

 

[BobTheFork]

Was JBL offered WH press credentials yet?

 

[Zach]

Good question, Commander BobTheFork...

 

[Nocturnowl]

You know, for all the flack WWE (rightfully) gets thrown its way for the 2008-2012 creative dark age, fuck me if it didn't have some of the strongest heels this company has ever had.

Money gimmicks. Money gimmicks EVERYWHERE.

How could you forget the best Sibersk?!

That post Summerslam promo on Taker was straight fire friends.

I'm a sucker for 'wrestler interact/attack other wrestler's families angles'. Gives them a little extra heat.

How could you forget the worst Sibersk?!

How in the celestial fuck did they let this feud happen?!

 

[Bluekaveli]

Then you should go. No more debating. Just do it.

Also this. House shows are fun, you get more kids around you and just messing with them is always fun. If they cheer, I'll boo and just laugh and tell them I was the same way as a kid. So it's fun compared to the live shows. Live shows are good but sometimes more hostile but not really hostile, if you know what I mean. If you have a younger relative, take them with you.

 

[Zach]

With a tear in my eye! I just watched Chavo beat JBL on the Eddie Tribute Smackdown. ;_;

 

[Into the Light]

What is HHH going to do for WM then?

 

[giancarlo123x]

God damn Neville is so good as a heel. Give him the world title.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Smackdown House show I'm going to is advertising AJ, Wyatt and Bliss... literally 3 of my top current 5 favs in the WWE <3

I'm so excited lol.

 

[TheeDanielJ]

What is HHH going to do for WM then?

Hopefully they change the whole card up. TBH, Randy vs Bray at No Mercy was a hot mess ,and IDK if they could do better at Mania.

Why would a Raw injury change a Smackdown match?

 

[Angry Grimace]

Finn, but need to confirm Seth is actually out first.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Why would a Raw injury change a Smackdown match?

CAUSE IM UHHH
THE GAME UHHHHH
AND I UHHHH
DONT FOLLOW THE RULES UHHHH

 

[excelsiorlef]

Sure but I don't see how Seth Rollins going down an change Wyatt vs Orton lol.

Orton ain't fighting HHH instead...


Though Wyatt vs HHH could probbly actually be a great match that makes no sense lol

 

[HashtagLapsed]

God damn Neville is so good as a heel. Give him the world title.

He is one of the best people they have I reckon.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Wanted to take a second to thank everyone who has reached out to me over the last two days. Life doesn't always go your way, but that is no excuse to surrender. If anything, obstacles exist to help us grow and evolve.

This reinjury to my surgically repaired knee is real and a lot is up in the air right now, but one thing remains constant: my resolve. This doesn't end for me until I've reclaimed the throne.

And for me, fighting and defeating Triple H is the only way. I will work harder than I ever have and push myself beyond what I know. This isn't over. The only way to wear the crown is to slay the king. I know what must be done and there's nothing that can stop me.

I feel for the guy. Potentially missing two Wrestlemania's in a row sucks and who knows how long he could be out.

 

[excelsiorlef]

https://mobile.twitter.com/WWERollins

Sounds like no Mania, that fucking sucks. This feud was just getting good.

 

[Into the Light]

So he is going to come back and he will have to wrestle an even more subdued kind of style. I hope he takes a full 12. Get right, I don't want any edge style retirement speeches.

 

[Professor Beef]

So now who does Joe fight?

 

[excelsiorlef]

So now who does Joe fight?

Probably Roman Reigns after Mania lol. Maybe Sami Zayn....

This is it for anything different with Roman going forward I'm convinced.


Sami Zayn is the most logical replacement for Rollins at Mania against HHH though, Steph on screen hates him and frequently tries to punish him.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

If Seth is out long enough to miss Fastlane but back in time for Mania, I wonder if they would consider a HHH/Joe vs Seth and a mystery partner tag match.

 

[Toki767]

Feel bad for Seth.

At the same time, HHH cut like...a super great babyface promo on him on Monday so I think putting this feud on the backburner so they can re-evaluate where both people stand may be for the best.

At least they can't possibly screw up his face run when he returns a second time, right?

Spoiler

lol

ESPN's 30 for 30 "This Was The XFL" premieres tomorrow night (February 2nd) at 9pm ET on ESPN.

That was definitely not a baby face promo dude...

*Giant XFL Documentary picture*

Charlie Ebersol gave a great interview on Talk is Jericho about this. Fascinating stuff

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

The thing is just when they were taking a good step forward in babyface Seth, they had him threaten to beat up Stephanie and Triple H's kids and so a huge step backwards was then taken.
