Never heard this before but Christopher Daniels was pitched to be the higher power to Vince:



Daniels was under a developmental deal at that time for WWE.

I listened to that podcast three times simply to hear that over and over. That shit had me legit shook.

Raw is an absolute embarrassment.

 

[KissVibes]

Chris Hero looks like he's wider than Owens and Joe and not in the good, barrel-chested hoss way. WWE wants to try to put him up against Nakamura? They may as well dig Butterbean out of whatever TruTV reality show hole he's in and put him in the match. Hell, snatch a random guy out of the crowd and he'd look more credible.

Wrestling is also about aesthetics and Hero does not have a good look unless he's going to wrestle in a tracksuit or sweats. Even Owens, who I love, borders on having an awful look but his character and promo work saves it. Hero ain't got that.

 

[Kaladin]

Again, its just Meltzer joking around about the fact people claim he gives all matches in the Tokyo Dome an extra star.

Even discounting the stars, he says it's the best wrestling match he's ever seen.

I say it's not even close.

Dick Murdoch was no damn joke

That's because while he is making fun of people saying it, the criticism that Meltzer overhypes everything in the Tokyo Dome is true.

he'll be getting chewed out by his mum for not protecting the biz when she sees this brother.

 

[Anth0ny]

Oh man we're getting Roman vs Jericho AND Owens this week for the US Title....

my god

i can't

What makes you say that?

 

[BronsonLee]

What makes you say that?

Kaladin is actually Dave Meltzer

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Oh man we're getting Roman vs Jericho AND Owens this week for the US Title....

http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/2017-01-09?sf49744641=1

Calling it, he's gonna do a double Superman punch to them both in this match and Cole will cream his pants

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[Anth0ny]

logical finish: jericho and owens win, but owens won't have jericho by his side at the rumble

possible finish: ends in a dq to make roman look strong

likely finish: reigns wins clean, pinning jericho. "byron! if owens couldn't win in a handicap match, how will he handle the big dog at wwe royal rumble remember the rumble trademark copyright?"

 

[BronsonLee]

Jericho wins title
takes it with him inside shark cage
drops it to mat at pivotal moment for Owens to use and win

 

[Bluekaveli]

I have to watch that tonight.

 

[slightconfuse]

What ??

 

[Raw64life]

Jericho wins title
takes it with him inside shark cage
drops it to mat at pivotal moment for Owens but Reigns intercepts it, clocks Owens and wins the title

Fixed.

 

[Kaladin]

What makes you say that?

I've just seen better matches that will stand the test of time longer than that will. I would put Cena vs Punk from MITB as better than that, or even Brett vs Austin from WM13 is better.

Or if we want to jump in the wayback machine, Flair vs Funk from Clash IX is the best match I've ever seen.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Jericho wins title
takes it with him inside shark cage
drops it to mat at pivotal moment for Owens to use about a hundred times
six pop-up powerbombs
three package piledrivers
two Steenalizers
package piledriver on concrete floor
roman kicks out
spears and wins

Fixed.

It's weird as fuck seeing the words "acclaimed ICW Championship" on wwe.com. Also, sorry Wolfgang, despite you being the lone Scot in this, I'm pulling for Trent Seven here (and in Newcastle in February).

 

[BronsonLee]

But why won't it stand the test of time?

Alright, when you make one, I'll be sure not to.

That Omega table bump is on par with Mankind going off the side of the cell. Absolutely insane. HE BROKE THE METAL BAR ON THE SIDE

 

[Bluekaveli]

Jeez Vince was a fucking Savage during the territory days when negotiations came out. Asked Ted would he call Jim(Ted) or does he need to(Vince).

Why do these tables have metal bars?

Hero is better at everything, absolutely everything that has to do with being a professional wrestler than Kevin Owens. In-ring, character, promos, everything.

He'll lose a few pounds and be fucking golden. Balee dat.

 

[BronsonLee]

Cause Japan

 

[Fox318]

I have a feeling my email will be read.

45 minutes of greatness. All that needs to be said

Awesome! Seeing Kanemoto working with some of the top Euros will be a treat. Great addition by wXw.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I'm through to the finale of wrestle kingdom, I may need some extra time to prepare for the six star classic incoming.

It'll only be 5 for you. There's no Kane run-in

 

[serenewarfare]

Meltzer on his board says that if WWE wants Omega, they could absolutely get him. Says he think it'd take something like $700k/year. Also said WWE really doesn't like when guys from other companies get big buzz.

As far as his contract, Dave says Omega'a old deal expired on Jan. 31st, but he doesn't know if there is a new deal in place or not.

I was REALLY banking on that, damn
minus 6 stars

 

[Nekofrog]

I had stopped watching wrestling by that point but somehow I still have vivid memories of fat hhh. Was it an injury?

This sounds like a very Vince/HHH mindset

 

[Data West]

Did people actually like that Omega entrance?

 

[Sephzilla]

West's hate for Omega is reaching Menome-liking-Sandow levels of cringe

 

[daemissary]

So I need to support the guy for that WK11 match.

What is the best/safest Kenny Omega shirt?

 

[SallyIsNow]

That setrance did suck tho. Straight up cringey.

 

[ngower]

How timely, my Omega shirt (and a white Bullet Club grab bag shirt!) arrived today.

So I need to support the guy for that WK11 match.

What is the best/safest Kenny Omega shirt?

Kenny the Cleaner and/or Omega (Sega) shirt.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

West's hate for Omega is reaching NeoGaf Vince McMahon's-liking-Eva Marie levels of cringe

ftfy

 

[Sephzilla]

ftfy

I'll allow it

 

[Mase Gumble]

hope they bring in 'Omega' and job him out to Darren Young just for the meltdowns.
