Dean Malenko is that motherfucker, friends. No question about it.

[StylesClash]

The Shooter Dean Malenko just outside my fave 5.

 

[Data West]

Eddie also had the prettiest slingshot senton in the world during WCW days.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Seeing those gifs realize how much I Miss that era of wrestling

 

[Serpentine]

damn, Shelton Benjamin is just unstoppable in this G1

 

[Professor Beef]

This has to be one of the weaker-looking clotheslines I've ever seen. The rest of those gifs are good stuff though.

 

[StylesClash]

That was some of the best pure wrestling period. Wwe has never had anything quite like that. That cruiserweight division was always entertaining and had a lot of guys that could go.

 

[Data West]

I remember Raven/Saturn vs Malenko/Benoit being stiff as hell

Something King/Armor King does in Tekken..

Something King/Armor King does in Tekken..

King don't got that 90s swag

 

[Data West]

Malenko, Anderson, and Zbyscko should have had a suburban dad stable with this as their theme. Maybe get Ron Simmons in there too. He's kinda got a suburban dad thing going on too

I don't.know man. One of those guys did do a chain type throw set like King

 

[Heel]

Dean Malenko, that motherfucker.

 

[lovely ladies]

I don't.know man. One of those guys did do a chain type throw set like King

Malenko doesn't care about fighting for orphans.

 

[Data West]

lol, there's a 'beat em up, Brad' chant at this NWA show. The 80s.

 

[Recall]

Tekken throws are based on puro. Dean worked in Japan before development finished on Tekken 1.

Time frames.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Malenko doesn't care about fighting for orphans.

But King wanted revenge too.


E: Dean, Eddie, and CB all had great chain moves

 

[Hasney]

I still kind of hate the finish to this match (Malenko in costume tells Juvi to eliminate himself from the battle royal so he could get in Jericho) but the reveal was still ace and the crowd loves it.

That motherfucker

 

[UrbanDandy]

Christ, these "Four Horsewomen" are really blowing their opportunity to work the UFC Universe. Why would you ever smarten up a mark crowd?

New avatar for you, Heelster?

 

[StylesClash]

Is "that motherfucker" a gaf original?

 

[sf2fanatic]

That motherfucker

Son of a bitch.. Mad respect for Dean

Also Charles Robinson and that hair..

 

[UrbanDandy]

Like every other actor they play a "public persona" that is just as much bullshit as a wrestling character. Their public personae are usually their stage/wrestling names so to use a birth name infers a personal relationship that doesn't actually exist no matter how much some thirsty loser fan wants it to.

Henry Winkler plays a public persona called "Henry Winkler", not the Fonz so I dunno why it would bother him.

Thomas Mapother plays a public persona called "Tom Cruise" and insists that he is referred to as such in media appearances, takes it as a slight when he is called otherwise.

Same goes for Vin Diesel, Nic Cage, Charlie/Martin Sheen, etc.

My potential future tag

This week’s Scott Hall story revolved around an incident this past week, when many of the biggest names in the business, including Ric Flair, Bill Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Bret Hart and Edge, were in Phoenix for an autograph convention. They were asked to sign a giant birthday card for six-year-old Danny Nickerson of Boston, who is battling terminal was battling cancer and may not have much time left to live. Everyone there, and there were far more names than just the ones mentioned, including but not limited to Christy Hemme, Candice Michelle, Angelina Love, Lita, Sean Waltman, Maria Kanellis, Lisa Marie Varon, Taryn Terrell and Brooke Tessmacher, not only signed, but went on camera to give personalized wishes. Goldberg, in particular, who was clearly choked up, spoke at length to him and told him to call him at any time if he wanted to talk. Hall refused to sign the card. The reaction from a number of people in the last few days was not just how incomprehensible it was, but that in Hall’s case, it’s even worse because he made top dollar in wrestling during a boom period, blew his money on drugs, then got fans to pay for a number of surgeries including a hip replacement in a fund raiser, and then he pulled this. Goldberg had real problems with Hall to begin with, but if you know Goldberg when it comes to children battling health issues or having problems, I don’t even want to think about how he’d feel about Hall now.

Hall finding new ways to be a dick for no reason every day.

Savio Kwang has the best spinning heel kick in the business. #FACT

Owen at a close second...

I was watching a video, and I looked at the comments and someone said

I'm 18 and I remember dial up internet before wifi existed

We're getting old.

 

[Recall]

I can't imagine most of the people in this thread being older than 22 anyway.

 

[strobogo]

Surely you mean urban dad, right?

Fuck it it's late

Final Fight:

And Time Crisis 2:

If I see Time Crisis in an arcade, I will play it, no questions asked. I was in the Trocadero last year and made a beeline for it.

 

[Hasney]

Wrestlefest is always up there. Konami side scrolling fighters and Sunset Riders, KOF 98, Metal Slug, Windjammers, Donkey Kong... Fuck, I can't pick one.

Remember seeing Royal Rumble on holiday before it was out on Dreamcast. Man I was so bummed out that it was basically Smackdown 2.

 

[British Monsoon]

3rd Strike or House of the Dead II.

Also, Bust a Move.

 

[strobogo]

Wrestlefest
X-Men
Turtles in Time
Some Metal Slug. They're all kind of the same.
One of the Virtua Tennises. I feel like 2002 era.

 

[Recall]

Tempest, Soul Edge and Xmen vs Street Fighter

 

[StylesClash]

Guys! I finished The Wire just now!

Dream is still a dick for that spoiler.

House of The Dead
Time Crisis (especially 2)

[Data West]

Bran flakes - fibre and slow-burn. I should try throwing in fruit, but it'll go mushy. I don't do mushy.

Oooooh Tekken... I got my ass handed to me so many times on this.
