I know we should really be wanting to see Cody move up in the world and all, but man, I really hope we see a Cody vs. Goldust IC title feud for Mania. It could be Dustin's last major run and a nice way to put over Cody.

And He is Goldust and you know how much Vince likes those incest angles so....
 
Of course she can't wrestle, she just got run over by the Big Show!
She'll be lucky if she can still walk, let alone wrestle :( I hope she's considering pressing charges against Paul Wight

I feel like they're going to have Goldust delete Cody from the Royal Rumble to kick this feud off
 
Maybe I'm over-thinking it a bit, but what if she got in the way on purpose? Hmm?
Nah, that'd be too smart for WWE...
No, I'm pretty sure that's where they're going. Not necessarily that she got in the way on purpose, maybe that D. Bry intentionally put her in harm's way.

If you notice the backstage promo, Bryan is setting up that whole thing.

"Was he trying to intimidate you? I won't let that happen. I won't let any harm come to you. I'm your knight in shining armor."

"And... about what you said earlier, you know when you said that you love me? How much do you love me? Let's go somewhere and talk, okay?"

Then AJ comes out to the ring, and suddenly gets hurt by Show after D.Bry runs past her.

Basically they're setting Daniel Bryan up to be a really disgusting heel here, playing on AJ's feelings and putting her in physical harm to prove how much she loves him and preserve his title.

If they go through with that, but I think that's what they're setting up.
 
I'd enjoy seeing AJ become D. Brine's geeky ride or die girlfriend who does whatever, including stuff like getting ran over by the Big Show, for him to keep his title while Bryan celebrates like a jackass running all over the place every time it happens.

This would be glorious actually.

Also whenever the ref is distracted she can come in and hit whoever Dabry is wrasslin with the Shining Wizard.

Yesss. Then insta-tap when MAH BOI BRYYYY slaps on dat Lebell Lock. They can call the combo "Revenge of the Nerds."

This amazing fantasy booking is why I'm almost always underwhelmed by what actually happens. :(

Then Cole gets so fake mad he gets real heart attack and then King goes "WAT!" and then Booker T is all "HE NEEDS A MEDIC FOR HIS STERNUM" Then JR's music hits and he walks down the ramp with evil beard and all while announcing with mic in hand to the crowd as he puts over Dabry's heels antic as genius and progressive, Vince has an aneurysm in gorilla and HHH finds a way to put himself over before the night ends.

Clay's music hits and he comes out with his 2 dancers and Laurinitus who is now wearing a red suit with popped collar, a blue afro and platform shoes and he is doing the running man all the way to the ring so Dabry's opponent who has already been kicked by 5 pounds of Shining Wizard force from AJ is now confused and mesmerized, Dabry rolls up with a small package for the win as he had been learning from Sensei Pepperoni KK, see that's Kelly but she wears a Gi and headband now because she is Tatsu's doesn't know she's racist manager. Brodus climbs into the ring and goes to the losers face and says "my bad" and gyrates. Laurinitus congratulates Dabry on defeating Brockshowhenrybergtaker and says he has an announcement to make, the announcement is that he will hence forth be known as Johnny AA, everyone gets into the ring and dances to Clays theme, Jericho even jumps over from the barricades and dances and cries and smiles while walking away to go backstage. Show ends, trends rise, ratings hit 10.0, cocaine era begins.

THIS IS THE GREATEST NIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS SPORT
 
WWE champion CM Punk will not escort Chael Sonnen to the Octagon prior to Sonnen's fight against Mark Munoz on Jan. 28, after all.

Punk confirmed with MMAFighting.com that WWE chairman Vince McMahon decided against allowing him to walk out to the cage with Sonnen later this month.


The Punk/Sonnen pairing created a major buzz in both the MMA and professional wrestling world when it was first reported, but most assumed it was UFC president Dana White who would be against the idea of a pro wrestler walking out to the cage with a top fighter on FOX, not McMahon.

UFC on FOX, headlined by Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis, returns on Jan. 28 from the United Center in Chicago. Sonnen vs. Munoz will serve as the co-main event.

Does Kane still use this for hometown...

Guess I missed a decent SD. Prob watch it tomorrow on Universal
Hell yes, he does. I love how Taker gets one (Death Valley), but his brother is just some random unknown. Does Taker never visit, or call? What's Kane's area code?

Seriously, though, I think Glenn Jacobs now resides in Colorado, as I believe he moved from Tenn.
 
Z!TLIS going Hollywood big budget full length CGI action feature film!

I hope CM Punk starts a new feud soon. He needs to start cutting promos again and dropping pipe bombs.
 
You know I never saw the "IT WAS ME AUSTIN" thing when it happened, I guess I was taking a break for wrestling at the time. I've always wondered what exactly the story was there.

Crazily, it happened about an hour and a half ago on the WWF stream. It was a HORRIBLE show.

DA JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSS!

20120114-taircphquuctuun5mqxha5h8b6.jpg


Da Juicy Juice!

Throwing Burritos into the crowd!!!

JR screams "ohmahGOD! He's broken those burritos in HALF!!!"

And then, before he can get any pop or heat at all, JBL comes out with a bunch of INS agents who drag Juvi off, kicking and screaming... It is the WWE, afterall.
 
So i tried watching Final Battle right now, and i realized, holy fuck ROH is boring as hell. The only match i didnt skip through was Steen/Corino and i think i fell asleep during Richards/Edwards. What the hell has happened to ROH? Seriously, they better take full advantage Steen and his rampage, because wow, i hate Davey and i want Steen to kill him.

EDIT: Also, Chikara totally has better production values than RoH.

Final Battle was a huge disappointment, it should have been the biggest show of the year but ended up being the worst iPPV they've ever put on. Outside of TJP/Elgin, Steen/Corino & Strong/Hero, everything else was either booked terribly (Briscoes/WGTT), went on too long (Tag Guantlet) or was complete overkill (that main event). Still, it's unfair to entirely judge ROH's product based on one awful show when Death Before Dishonor IX, Best in the World and Honor Takes Center Stage were some of the best PPVs from any company in 2011.

CHIKARA obviously spent a lot on the production values, as they showed every company in the iPPV market how it should be done, but again, it's unfair to judge the production values based on Final Battle alone as there were a lot more problems than with any of the other ROH iPPVs last year - I'm guessing this is because it was the first iPPV not produced by Dave Lagana, as he went to work for TNA.

Regardless, Final Battle was a real sour note to end the year on - I don't think I've felt this down on ROH since that awful Jerry Lynn title run, and if it weren't for Steen there would be little to look forward to in 2012.

Watch "Best in the World" and get back to us... A lot of people, me included, thought "Final Battle" dragged.

EDIT: Also, Chikara totally has better production values than RoH.

They have a better entrance and graphics, that's about it though. And they have Portia Perez on occasion, which isn't a "production value" per se, but it sure makes things a lot nicer. Their ring lighting and camera work is often much, much worse than ROH's though, so it's a push for me.

Also, iirc there wasn't one technical hitch all evening, and I can't say the same for most ROH iPPVs, or any DGUSA iPPV, and certainly no CZW iPPV.

Agreed, Portia is too cute and a great wrestler. With the news that ROH is looking to bring back women's wrestling, I'd love to see her on ROH TV.

On their usual shows, sure, but the iPPV was above and beyond the production values of a normal CHIKARA show. Also, I don't think I've seen any CHIKARA show with as many missed spots as Final Battle had, just really unacceptable camera work for a lot of the event.
 
So I'm watching this week's Impact and during the Eric Bishoff promo, I just noticed something. The crowd literally doesn't care. Seriously. One guy is looking at the camera and he has a "get this over with" look. Two people are looking down at their phones, one couple is talking to each other, a kid is blowing his nose....all while there is piped in loud popping cheers. Typical Impact Zone...although I don't think anywhere would care about this angle.

Now, you cut that out, Bootaaay. I've been serving my time for a while as Portia Perez's one-man viral marketing team here on WrassleGAF, and I don't need you stealing my fucking gimmick.

...and she LOVES to be booed. Seriously. She LOVES it. I boo her with the heat of 1,000 suns every time I get a chance, and you can tell it just makes her fucking night. I will be booing her on the 19th.
 
I can only remember Warrior using parts unknown for his hometown too.

Or did he?

I thought Mick used Parts Unknown for 1 of his characters but Cactus is from New Mexico. Dude Love is from...uh. Mankind is from the boiler room.

However, Mankind is the self proclaimed mayor of Parts Unknown.

I don't think Kane is from Parts Unknown anymore. He lives in Hell.


I don't think Undertaker visits Kane anymore. Kane visited Undertaker on Memorial Day and was put into a coma.


MEMORIAL DAY! GET IT?!

I think Mankind was originally announced as from Parts Unknown. That goes back to the origin of most of the old-timers who used that location, most of those guys were masked wrestlers.

Here's a pretty fun list of other locations:


Examples:

Parts Unknown's most famous resident would have to be former WWF wrestler The Ultimate Warrior.

WCW took things one step further with the Man of Question (later Hugh Morrus), who was announced at least once as "from Parts Unknown, height unknown, weight unknown." Geez, guys, can't anybody get him up on a scale?

And then there was the infamous "WCW Special Forces", whence hailed The Patriots: Todd Champion and Chip the Firebreaker.

And the less infamous but no less absurd "Web City", the hometown of Arachnaman, WCW's Captain Ersatz for Spider-Man (one of many masked wrestlers portrayed by Brad Armstrong).

Former WWE wrestler The Boogeyman is announced as from "The Bottomless Pit".

Hack Myers was famously introduced throughout his career as from "The Last House on the Left".

So is ROH wrestler Sami Callahan.

WWE wrestler The Undertaker is something of a subversion, as he's always been announced from "Death Valley". While there is an actual town called Death Valley in California, the conspicuous lack of a state has always led fans to believe that this was just a Parts Unknown-style descriptive hometown. At one pre-WrestleMania XXV press conference, 'Taker dropped all pretense, asking the crowd "What's up, hometown?" and noting that Death Valley was "just off of loop 610". However, recently, WWE has aired vignettes featuring The Undertaker which seem to take place in California's Mojave Desert, which would seem to back up the idea that Taker calls the real town of Death Valley home.
He wasn't always announced as being from "Death Valley". During his "American Bad-Ass" biker gimmick, he was announced as being from Houston.

Spoofed in the Futurama episode "Raging Bender", where a wrestling robot is described as "hailing from, and made of, Parts Unknown".

Deuce and Domino are from "The Other Side Of The Tracks".

Ring of Honor's Delirious is from "The Edge Of Sanity"

In the same vein, short-lived WWF wrestler Damien Demento was from "The Outer Recesses of Your Mind"

Sid Vicious (the wrestler, not the musician) was from "Wherever He Damn Well Pleases"
In the women's pro wrestling organisation SHIMMER, Amazing Kong had a regular hometown (Tokyo, Japan)... but her weight was announced as "Weighing None Of Your Damn Business".

Short-lived WCW wrestler Blackblood (Billy Jack Haynes under a mask) had "A Little Town in France" as his hometown. Short-lived because he sucked, and also because Jim Ross couldn't resist mocking that line ("A little town in... What is it, Smallville?").

Wrestle Crap's induction of the 1991 Great American Bash (which was so awful it made the audience "WANT FLAIR!") notes this as being the worst hometown in the history of wrestling, sentences after saying exactly the same thing about Yellow Dog's hometown, "the Kennel Club." It's hard to say which is actually more embarrassing.

Blitzkrieg was introduced as being from "The Cosmos".

In Homestar Runner, The Announcer delivers this a few times; he said that Strong Mad and Strong Bad were from Parts Unknown in "Marshamallow's Last Stand", and just Strong Bad in the e-mail "Lady... ing"

Later, in "Strongest Man in the world", Mr. Bland is said to hail from "The middle of the road," and Señor Havin' A Little Trouble is just said to be "from foreign lands".

And, in the e-mail "Yes, wrestling" Strong Bad's in-ring persona Il Cartographer is said to be from "the age of exploration".

Once spoofed in an old Drabble comic strip. The father, a masked wrestler, was pulled over for a traffic stop and was in full costume. He even had a kayfabe driver's licence, with his address listed as yes, Parts Unknown.

TNA wrestler Black Reign (Dustin Rhodes) is introduced as being from "the deepest darkest corner of his mind", as he has a Split Personality gimmick. This is also a partial reference to a lesser known wrestler from the WWE called Damian Demento who was billed as being from "The outer Reaches of Your Mind."

Also in TNA, after the breakup of Team Canada in 2006 caused him to become incredibly paranoid, Eric Young was billed as coming from "an undisclosed location".

His Superhero gimmick Super Eric comes from Metropolis. I wonder if he is a neighbour of Chris Hero. The Skyscrapers tag team was billed from there in 1989-1990.

After splitting from Robert Roode, Young was billed as coming from "Freedomland, USA". Now that he's dropped the Super Eric gimmick, he averts this trope: he's billed as being from Nashville.

Speaking of TNA Shark Boy (and Sharkgirl) comes from the Deep Blue Sea.

At one point Shark Boy was billed as being from The Mariana Trench, but that wasn't any fun.

Ten years earlier, The Shark (the late John Tenta) hailed from either Tsunami or the Great Barrier Reef.

Remember the TNA wrestler simply known as "X"? He came from "Parts Unknown, Place Unknown".

MsChif is from The Inferno

Lufisto is from Montreal...Japan

In the same vein, while Rob Van Dam and Sabu were tag-teaming in ECW, Van Dam was often announced as being from Battle Creek, India; when he wasn't, Sabu was announced from Bombay, Michigan.

In the most recent set of SHIMMER tapings, Ayako Hamada was announced as being from "Tokyo, Mexico".

ECW's Dudley clan all came from Dudleyville. Bubba Ray and D'Von Dudley kept it for part of their WWE careers.

This was personalised for each member of the clan: Big Dick, for example, came from the "Twisted Steel section of Dudleyville".

Former ECW/WWE wrestler The Blue Meanie came from Pepperland.

While working for the Wrestling Society X promotion, Jimmy Jacobs was announced as being from "The Dark Side Of A Broken Heart".

The short lived tag team New Breed hailed from the year 2002, where robots are common and Dusty Rhodes is the U.S. President.​

Most of the time if a wrestler is not from the United States, Japan, Mexico, or Canada, no city will be mentioned they will only be announced as being that country even if where they are from is made clear in other aspects of their gimmick some examples are:

The Great Khali is announced as being from just India Despite the fact he is nicknamed the "Punjabi Giant" and this specialty is the Punjabi Prison, not very hard to figure out where in India he is from

This happened to WWE's Carlito who was billed as "From the caribbean" instead from San Juan, Puerto Rico to match his caribbean cool gimmick and refer to him as the son of a Puerto Rican legend. His brother on the other hand is announced as hailing from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

An indy fed in my area had a tag team whose gimmick was the New Kids on the Block. Hometown? Venice Beach, circa 1985.

In his early days in Mid-South/UWF, Sting was billed as being from "Every Man's Nightmare". And his manager, "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert, was from "Every Woman's Dream", and the current independent tag team the Heartbreak Express are billed from there as well.
CHIKARA's Ultra Mantis Black has been referred to by several people as "The Mayor Of Parts Unknown".

Smokey Mountain Wrestling once anounced someone as hailing from "P.O. Box 43" instead of an actual town.

Meng was announced (by Michael Buffer no less) at WCW Uncensored 96 as being from "Some Unknown Part of the Planet." However, at WCW Fall Brawl 95, Buffer announced Meng as a member of Royalty from the South Pacific.

The Headbangers were announced (on the WWF Warzone Playstation game, at least) as being "From their own Private Hell".

Leva Bates is from the Bates Motel.

And when she's tag-teaming with Allison Danger as Regeneration X, they're from Gallifrey, via the TARDIS.

Rachel Summerlyn and Jessica James are from the International House of Paincakes.
Nikki Roxx and Portuguese Princess Ariel have a total combined weight of Awesome.
Prior to his arrival in ECW in 1993, Tommy Dreamer wrestled in various independent leagues in the Northeast and was billed from Dreamland, USA. After coming to ECW, he relocated to Yonkers, NY, where he is still billed from to this day.

Kevin Nash was billed from The Emerald City as part of his Oz gimmick in 1991 WCW. As Steele of the tag team the Master Blasters he was billed from the Steel Mines.

Dolph Ziggler bills himself on his Twitter as being from Bikini Bottom, Transylvania.

Spoofed on Conan, when a Real Steel parody included a robot made from parts unknown, while hailing from Greenwich, Connecticut.​
