still convinced this is one of the best chokeslams ever delivered, squash wrestler helped a lot

 

[Ultratech]

God damn, Cesaro.

.

 

[Entropia]

Fuck did I miss the Neutralizier ?!

 

[slightconfuse]

So glad Miz is out here to make an ass out of himself

 

[somedevil]

I hate the Miz so much. Push that Seagull pop button more for the Miz.

America F""" Yeah.

 

[The Fronde]

Gross.

 

[Ithil]

"huh huh u funny looking". So lame.

The annoying thing is there are legitimately reasons to have beef with Cesaro in kayfabe, he's an arrogant cockbag that enjoys beating people for fun (like Sheamus. Wait...), resorting to "lol manpurse" is weak.

 

[Kyoufu]

Miz is the worst. No talent. Belongs on Jersey Shore.

 

[Ithil]

Here's another great one. Might be Taker's best ever.

Taker vs Lesnar was a really great feud.

 

[The Fronde]

Miz is horrendous on the mic. The baldness line didn't even make sense.

 

[Ultratech]

Nobody cares, Kofi.

Ratings are plummeting.

Barrett has it right on the money.

 

[strobogo]

Here's another great one. Might be Taker's best ever.

Taker vs Lesnar was a really great feud.

Can you imagine how good Brock could have been if he stuck with wrestling? The massive amount of improvement he showed in just two years was insane. He could have for realsies been one of the best of all time if he had stuck around.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Can you imagine how good Brock could have been if he stuck with wrestling? The massive amount of improvement he showed in just two years was insane. He could have for realsies been one of the best of all time if he had stuck around.

He would've been the best big man/monster wrestler of all time. He was well on his way already. Plus he was a hybrid that could put on 4-5 star matches with a variety of opponent sizes and styles. I wonder how Smackdown and the main event in the following years would've shaped up. Would Cena be where he is now?

 

[Ithil]

Miz is horrendous on the mic. The baldness line didn't even make sense.

haha you're bald!

Yes, I shave my head, you are correct.

...lol u bald!

Go away, Miz, you offend my European sensibilities

U US EH U US EH

damn that was amazing

Here's another great one. Might be Taker's best ever.

Taker vs Lesnar was a really great feud.

for a big man Lesnar can sell

 

[strobogo]

Brock was really the best. He could bump around like a cruiser without losing any of his bad assness. He could be a monster, a stooge, bump freak, squash machine, technical, brawler, high flyer. He was the perfect machine. It's really a shame he bailed when he did.

 

[Ithil]

damn that was amazing


for a big man Lesnar can sell

He never moved like a big man, he moved like he was 200 pounds. Then he threw Big Show around like he was a cruiserweight. Then mat wrestle with Kurt Angle, no problem.

Lesnar is one guy who is a legitimate freak of nature. His size, speed and strength is off the charts.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

So no one has a gif of cesaro yet. WE MUST SEE IT FREQUENTLY.

Its was too bad that he never really loved Wrestling or the traveling the WWE does. I heard an interview where he said he choose the WWE because they offered him the most money. When you hear you understand why he didn't stay long.

 

[Professor Beef]

I don't get you Beef. I really like you, and then you say things like this. I don't get you!

Shenmue is a terrible game, and it along with Mega Man Legends 3 are games that I'm glad that are dead.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Shenmue is a terrible game, and it along with Mega Man Legends 3 are games that I'm glad that are dead.

obvious troll. No one can have taste that bad. It's not physically possible.

 

[G-Fex]

I bet Shenmue is overrated

 

[Professor Beef]

obvious troll. No one can have taste that bad. It's not physically possible.

Oh, I'm not trolling. I'm dead serious. Shenmue was boring as fuck and Legends wasn't a good series at all.

 

[redmetal86]

god i hope wade keeps the belt

 

[bean breath]

Oh, I'm not trolling. I'm dead serious. Shenmue was boring as fuck and Legends wasn't a good series at all.

You were 5 years old when Shenmue came out.

 

[Professor Beef]

You were 15 years old when Shenmue came out.

fixed

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

You guys can't see it but I'm self avatarring right now.

 

[SoulPlaya]

You were 5 years old when Shenmue came out.

Hot damn, lol.

 

[G-Fex]

You were 5 years old when Shenmue came out.

Soulplaya wasn't even born til the last year of the PS2/X-box era.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Beef's just being controversial again, like his idol Cena.
Right now he's got the biggest Cena smirk, it's like that gif with Eve and Cena I bet.
But i'm sure he also respects the hell out of us all.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Soulplaya wasn't even born til the last year of the PS2/X-box era.

I'm 7 years old?

 

[G-Fex]

I'm 7 years old

I knew it.

I KNEW IT.

i've been arguing with a kid this entire time oh my gosh. Why lisa whyyyyyy?

My god, it all makes sense now!

The Kane worship
the fanart
the wrestling shirts he wears in real life


it's all true.

You know me too well. :lol

But when Shenmue gets brought up, I make that shaking HHH angry face. I hate the game that much.

 

[SoulPlaya]

i've been arguing with a kid this entire time oh my gosh. Why lisa whyyyyyy?

We've been arguing?

 

[Laserfrog]

 

[SoulPlaya]

My god, it all makes sense now!

I'm starting to think you guys don't know what a question mark means.

 

[G-Fex]

We've been arguing?

actually that was towards DM.

But you're a kid too and we've had our disagreements.

WWF King Of The Ring - June 25, 2000 - Boston, Massachusetts - 17,651 in attendance

Match 1: KOTR Round 2: Chris Benoit vs. Rikishi
- This match actually had a backstory of sorts: Rikishi just came off winning the IC Title from Benoit a few days prior on SmackDown.
- FINISH: Benoit gets DQ'd on purpose when he nails Rikishi with the wrong side of a steel chair. Post-match, Benoit beats Rikishi up some more, and refs and Sgt. Slaughter come out to drag Benoit off.

VT: Earlier tonight on Heat, Linda tells a Skinny Michael Cole that she's going to have to comfort Vince tonight.

BACKSTAGE: Vince tells Triple H, Shane, and a young, hot Stephanie that he's going to keep his cool tonight. Tonight, he's "Joe Cool".

Match 2: KOTR Round 2: Val Venis w/Trish Stratus vs. Eddie Guerrero w/Chyna
- Val and Trish have a "business relationship", explains JR.

- FINISH: Trish distracts the ref at one point, causing chaos, which ultimately leads to Val pinning Eddie with a fisherman suplex. A very weak finishing move.

BACKSTAGE: Patterson tells the wardrobe lady he wants to look "sexy" tonight in his Evening Gown Match. Patterson's conviction made me laugh.

BACKSTAGE: Coach interviews Rikishi, who says he's looking forward to taking on Val Venis later tonight.

Match 3: KOTR Round 2: Bull Buchanan vs. Crash Holly
- Crash, alleging to weigh over 400 pounds, walks out with his scale.

- FINISH: Crash upsets with a roll up.

BACKSTAGE: Vince tells Linda not to question his fortitude.

Match 4: KOTR Round 2: Kurt Angle vs. Chris Jericho
- Kurt Angle cuts a pre-match promo ripping on Boston sports teams and the Boston accent. These guys were lovin' it, though…

- Jericho cut his own pre-match promo calling Angle the "king of the 30 year old virgins" and a "royal pain in the ass".
- Y2J counters the Olympic slam and applies the Walls of Jericho.
- Stephanie McMahon runs down and distracts the ref, so fat Teddy Long doesn't see Kurt tap out.

- An accidental ref bump leads Stephanie to enter the ring and attempt to hit Jericho with her Women's Championship, but she misses and connects with Angle's head.
- Y2J grabs a young, hot Stephanie McMahon and kisses her.

- FINISH: With Jericho distracted, Angle hits the Olympic Slam.

BACKSTAGE: Shane tells Vince that he's GOT to keep his cool.

AT WWF NEW YORK: Mick Foley is interviewed via satellite by JR. Ivory bartends. The King makes fun of Foley's new haircut.

Match 5: Tag Team Championship: Four-Team Elimination Match: Too Cool vs. T&A w/Trish Stratus vs. Edge & Christian vs. The Hardy Boyz w/Lita
- Like Angle, Edge & Christian cut a pre-match promo making fun of Boston's sports teams. They take a 5 second pose reenacting Bill Buckner's error.

- Lita unfairly attacked Trish, who can do no wrong, at ringside, which ultimately led to Jeff hitting the Swanton on Test to eliminate T&A.

- Christian hit his weird, reverse double-arm DDT finisher thing on Matt Hardy to eliminate The Hardyz.
- Damn, the WORM was really, really over with the crowd.

- FINISH: Edge pinned Grandmaster Sexay to win after Christian sneakily hit Grandmaster with the Title behind the ref's back.

BACKSTAGE: Skinny Michael Cole interviews Crash Holly, who says Kurt Angle is in "big trouble, mister!"

Match 6: KOTR Round 3: Rikishi vs. Val Venis w/Trish Stratus
- FINISH: Rikishi catches Val, who was attempting a Money Shot, and suplexes him to victory.
- Post-match, Trish jumps on Rikishi's back and makes the fat man mad. Rikishi slams her on the mat, then sets up for a Bonzi Drop, but Val makes the save.

- Val drills Rikishi with the steel steps in the ring, then with a chair shot to the arm.

BACKSTAGE: Coach interviews Gerald Brisco, who says Patterson's going to find out Brisco's all man.

Match 7: KOTR Round 3: Crash Holly vs. Kurt Angle
- FINISH: Angle over quickly with the Olympic Slam. Those same guys from earlier are still lovin' it…

VT: Footage from last night's sold out show at MSG. Donald Trump and that thing on his head were in attendance. King interviewed Trump, who said his favorite superstar was The Rock.

BACKSTAGE: Skinny Cole interviews Kane, and Skinny Cole nearly pisses his pants.

BACKSTAGE: American Badass Undertaker tells Coach he came to Boston to win.

Match 8: Hardcore Championship - Evening Gown Match: Pat Patterson vs. Gerald Brisco
- I bet Vince has the title card for this match framed on his wall at home.

- This match lasts for 6 minutes… 6 excruciating minutes. Crowd chants "boring" often.

- Brisco even hits Patterson with the Bronco Buster at one point.
- FINISH: Crash Holly comes out and strips both men of their gowns. Then Crash pins Patterson to win the Hardcore Championship.
- Not even seeing Trish on 3 separate occasions tonight makes up for what I had to see at the end of this match. There will be no screengrabs.

Match 9: Handicap Table Dumpster Match: Road Dogg, X-Pac, and Tori vs. The Dudley Boyz
- The stipulation here was that The Dudleyz had to win via table and DX had to win via dumpster.
- At one point, DX had The Dudleyz in the dumpster, but the ref was distracted and didn't see it. I laughed when X-Pac let out a loud, "Oh shit!"

- Dudleyz nailed DX with chair shots, then powerbombed Road Dogg over the top rope crashing through 2 tables.

- Devon hit a superplex on X-Pac from the top rope through a table.
- FINISH: Tori hid in the dumpster, which baited The Dudleyz. DX rebounded and hit The Dudleyz with chair shots, sending them into the dumpster. DX closed the lid and won.

- Post-match, The Dudleyz hit 3D on X-Pac and Road Dogg. They captured Tori, and Bubba powerbombed her through a table from the top rope.

BACKSTAGE: Kurt Angle says he's better than Rikishi, who "likes to put his butt in people's faces, pardon my French". Haha, damn, Angle was so good back then.

BACKSTAGE: Rikishi calls Angle "Captain America".

Match 10: KOTR Final: Rikishi vs. Kurt Angle
- FINISH: Angle hits a belly-to-belly suplex off the top rope to become the 8th King Of The Ring. No crowning tonight, however.

(I didn't make this and found it online, but I thought I'd share for those interested.) Below are the full King Of The Ring tournament results...

BACKSTAGE: Vince rallies his family and says, "We're going out there with victory," which makes no sense.

BACKSTAGE: Kane walks through the arena. Cut to Taker sitting on his motorcycle. Cut to The Rock walking through the arena.

Match 11: WWF Championship Match: Six-Man Tag Team Match: The Rock, The Undertaker, Kane vs. Triple H, Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon
- The stipulation here was that the title was on the line in a tag match. Yes, if The Rock, taker, or Kane pinned any member of the other team, that person would win the title.
- At one point, Kane beat up The Undertaker and chokeslammed The Rock - not to turn heel, but because "it's every man for himself".
- When Triple H thought Kane was on his side, Kane picked him up and delivered a tombstone.

- Taker made the save by pulling Kane off Triple H. Taker then grabbed a chair and nailed Kane with a deadly, unprotected shot to the head.

- Really cool spot occurred when Taker chokeslammed Shane off the top rope through the Spanish Announce Table. Damn, Shane took some crazy bumps.

- FINISH: A second later, Vince went for a People's Elbow on Rock, who got up, and hit Vince with the Rock Bottom to become the new WWF Champion.

- Triple H flipped out because he lost the Title without being pinned.

Thanks for reading!

I really liked KOTR 2000 and 2001. 2002 was really good, too. Test vs Brock was boss.

Unless Harley Race is some cosplay girl, I doubt it.
