Well there's only way to find out... to the Super Grades!!

. . .

Uh, I gave Starrcade '92 a B- so I liked it quite a bit. Good luck!

Welp sounds watchable at least! Making some breakfast then starting up.

PG-Era Assbiz is gonna be rough, but we will persevere.

WrasslinGaf has gone full Corporate. We for the kids

 

[sf2fanatic]

We missed nothing.

So how's your auditioning to be a broadcast journalist going friend?

 

[Fox318]

To shoot, or work, that is the question

 

[Mahonay]

To shoot, or work, that is the question

Always shoot.

 

[Cagey]

To shoot, or work, that is the question

Always shoot.

Unless you're at work, in which case you always work at work. Never shoot at work or else your work will shoot back and you'll shoot be out of work.

And that's a shoot.

Corporate, you say?

What's context of this gif? Anyone know the date this episode aired?

basically

Kinda funny how HHH breaks barriers to get ex wrestlers into the hall of fame.
Maybe HHH's daughters can convince Punk 30 years from now?

December 9 2013

All former world champions are in the ring to celebrate the upcoming GREATEST MATCH OF ALL TIME to unify the belts between the TWO GREATEST PERFORMERS OF ALL TIME and the GREATEST RIVALRY IN THE HISTORY OF ENTERTAINMENT, Randy Orton vs. John Cena.


It is a must watch segment. I'm not kidding. Watch it now.

Lmfao! What do you mean?

 

[Fox318]

Always shoot.

What a work of work is a man! How shoot in angle, how infinite in workrate! In selling and psychology how express and admirable! In face how like an Angel! in apprehension how like a booker! The beauty of the ring! The paragon of workers! And yet to me, what is this quintessence of vanilla midget?

You mean that segment where they desperately tried to make everyone believe Cena/Orton was on the same level as Austin/Rock or Hogan/Savage? Shit, I don't think that rivalry is even on the level of Bret/Owen.

#ShootFriday

I can't watch any DBry vids at the moment ;_;

 

[Mahonay]

Jesse Ventura appears to be wearing a Malcom X leather baseball cap for Starrcade 92'.


Ah fuck, Rick Rude is out injured. Dr. Death is facing Ron Simmons instead.

 

[DMczaf]

I really hope DBry stays as an on-camera character.

Possibly a face authority figure.

 

[Bluekaveli]

According to Sexxxxxxxx Pac- X-Pac(listen to his theme and you'll get it.)

WWE did wonders in a two-day period between the last pay-per-view and I was here in Philly when Roman won the title in the exact building in Royal Rumble that they booed him out of the building. I might get heat for this but him beating the hell out of Hunter, that almost didn’t happen. Hunter had to fight really hard to get that to happen and they tried to put an edge on Roman and it did work.

Me neither friend.

I know what you mean friend. You know what the most shocking thing was to me though? Guy is 34....he is my age, born less than a month before I was. You shouldn't be retired at my age, let alone with brain injuries.

 

[rrc1594]

What type of Face are the trying to book Roman as?

 

[Mahonay]

What type of Face are the trying to book Roman as?

The kind that appeases Vince.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Titus was also fined a huge amount of money according to labar

 

[DMczaf]

Roman is our generation's Kevin Nash.

Read his radio and TV interviews with Nash's voice and tell me they don't match.

 

[Mahonay]

In 1992 the ladies love Johnny B Badd AKA Little Richard with muscles.

 

[Kaladin]

What type of Face are the trying to book Roman as?

The type that overcomes the odds after getting his ass kicked week after week. Avenue!!!

 

[rrc1594]

One thing I hope for WWE to do this year is unified the IC and US title

His look doesn't fit that. I swear they don't watch their own show

 

[Bluekaveli]

Vince got himself fucked. So he signed Maromen expecting to get Johnny B Badd until he realized that's wCws character. So he had a guy that looked like JBB but none of the theatrics.

 

[Mahonay]

I don't feel like that would fix anything.

[rrc1594]

I just feel having both titles is pointless. Sadly WWE's plan with Cena and Bryan fell through. IMO the titles is just in limbo, it means nothing.

 

[Fox318]

Orton vs Cena may be the worst feud in the history of the company.

Has any of their matches had any heat?

Corporate, you say?

Currently watching:

Well soon after WWF signed him for that huge contract he suffered a career altering knee injury. His working style afterwards as Marvelous Marc Mero was absolute dog shit compared to what he was capable of in his years with WCW.

 

[Recall]

HBK vs Austin at KOTR 97 is a very unique match, great but unique.

Never hear it discussed either.

 

[Mahonay]

Missy Hyatt is wearing suspenders that split and go around her boobs. Boob holsters.

Pre wwe matches had a little

 

[Angry Grimace]

According to Sexxxxxxxx Pac- X-Pac(listen to his theme and you'll get it.)

I know how WWE crowds work. They'll give him a (relative) pass until Fastlane at the point it becomes set in stone he's main eventing WM again and he'll get the 2015 reception again.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Yeah we were talking about how Austin and Mero are two of the greatest examples of guys who had to drastically change their movesets to continue their career. What made it suck for Mero is, Vince wents our on him and was just letting his contract ride out.

HBK vs Austin at KOTR 97 is a very unique match, great but unique.

It's funny, that's probably their 4th time meeting each other. Who would've thought that the next WM would involve those twobamd lead to something huge!

 

[Kaladin]

I'm in late 1996 and I'm already fast forwarding through every Marc Mero match.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Repo Man once repossessed Macho Man's hat.

zach what do you think of 98 WWF so far. i enoyed my rewatch of it.

That dirty Miss Elizabeth took everything.

If you combined the two, you would have a decent package, but individually you have one with no personality, and one who can't wrestle.

 

[Zach]

zach what do you think of 98 WWF so far. i enoyed my rewatch of it.

It's mostly bad. But Austin's ascension and feud with McMahon is pretty great so far. There are highlights elsewhere (The Nation comes to mind), but they're few and far between. It seems like I'm watching DOA and DX at every turn and I'm not a fan of either.

Additional thoughts: Foley is usually watchable-to-great. Kane/Taker sucks aside from Paul Bearer being hilarious.

 

[Mahonay]

Mero's working style as B Badd relied heavily on a very spry high flying style. Having one knee completely gimped seemed to be too much for him to overcome. And his persona was very one dimensional, quick footed boxer meets Little Richard. He got to WWF he only had the boxer part left which was super boring. Just not a lot there.

Steve always was very strong in the simpler meat and potatoes type of wrestling. He lost the ability to put on technical showcases every week after his neck was destroyed, but it's place he honed in and perfected his very real looking working punches and kicks, and cranked the Stone Cold character way up. His tremendous personality and explosiveness carried him for the rest of his career.

 

[iMax]

So I watched Trainwreck last night.

I wasn't ready for... that.

 

[Mahonay]

Jesse Ventura is swooning over Muta's ring work. Damn right.

Kane and taker are great. Imo

Taker stuff gets better in the summer.

DX sucks

Watching all the wrestling while your recovering has to made you want to call a match. Then take Cole's job
