That Kurt Angle video is gold.

Would you say it was Olympic Gold? RVD and Kurt Angle should tag team.

 

[SousedLouse]

Would you say it was Olympic Gold? RVD and Kurt Angle should tag team.

Yes, yes I would.

Kurt Angle: a hard-nosed Olympic athlete!
Rob Van Dam: a laid-back recreational drug-use enthusiast!
Together, they fight crime go for the gold in TNA's tag team division!

 

[Nocturnowl]

Actually I think you were right the first time, they fight crime and it would be amazing.
Kurt can go undercover as a creepy clown like in that movie of his.

 

[Kaladin]

I think it is safe to say that Kurt Angle video is the best wrestling related thing I have seen so far this week.

From this week's issue of the Observer:

There was talk with the success of the legends segments and the Raw 1,000th show of having one former star brought back on every Raw.

 

[Linkified]

From this week's issue of the Observer:

I told you all, I told you, I told you this is what they would do - just as TNA has absorbed the essence of Universal Studios Orlando in the ways they are improving their product. WWE are the WDW of wrestling and by that I mean declining by degrees.

 

[Kaladin]

From this week's issue of the Observer:

Unless it leads to a storyline involving legends, I don't see a point.

 

[jmdajr]

I went to that PPV

 

[Linkified]

Unless it leads to a storyline involving legends, I don't see a point.

Unless they do their take on MEM but with Legends past, present and future there is no point, see Smackdown after D.Brines RAW funeral - instead of protecting him they let him be fall man again.

There is a really great interview with Jerry Lawler about the Andy Kaufman saga on WWE.com:

http://wwe.me/cymbm

Today is 30 years after they appeared on Letterman.

I don’t know if I should tell this or not, but one night I was flying back on the plane with Vince McMahon. And he said, “You know, King, I’ve never told you this before, but I was so jealous when you got Andy Kaufman and did all that stuff with him down there in Memphis. Because he was from New York, and I thought we could have done all that stuff up here.” But he also said, “But I’ll be honest with you. There’s no way on Earth we could have done it as well as you guys did it.”

It's seriously one of the most incredible things ever done. Kaufman was perfect for pro wrestling. He was a true worker and understood what it meant to work marks. It's a damn shame the guy died so early. He's never been a real pro wrestler but could probably teach limitless amount of upcoming wrestlers how to control a crowd.

I'm a little confused...did they really have legit beef after the whole piledriver thing?

The fact that some people still ask this 30 years later shows just how successful they were. It was all a work.

Oh ok, I never really heard about this (lol, shows my age) and it was hard to tell from reading the article.

Was it??

Andy Kaufman screwed Andy Kaufman.

 

[Sokantish]

I liked Man on the Moon, okay?

 

[Kaladin]

 

[Sokantish]

Did she even do anything last night except look angry? And that dude that came to help Chavo barely made it into the ring, that was pretty funny

 

[IC_Champion]

never forget

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Oh ok, I never really heard about this (lol, shows my age) and it was hard to tell from reading the article.

Someone on YouTube uploaded the entire "Andy Kaufman: I'm From Hollywood" documentary made back in 1989 about Kaufman's pro wrestling adventure. Go watch it. It's awesome. It's completely kayfabe too. Everyone, even Kaufman's celebrity friends, is talking as if the whole thing was real.

Here's part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEyQkUg2WtY

 

[Kaladin]

Still impossible to tell who these guys are, but I'm starting to recognize some of the regulars.

 

[Professor Beef]

never forget

Id never hold Claires hand

Great movie.

Ignoring that this has anything to do with Chris Benoit, this song is completely terrible. I guess I have never liked any ICP songs though so it's not that surprising.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Until about 3 minutes ago I had completely forgotten that Bobby Lashley was in TNA.

I'm surprised they're still making music.

hahahah

Nope. Portable, digital recorders.

[The Frankman]

Fuck this, I'm waiting for Bret Hart vs. The Box. Winner faces El Dandy.

 

[DMczaf]

Undertaker vs Hood will be legendary.
