Whenever I think of Cena/Edge, I think of the I Hate You Cutting Edge interview, which was around that time. Christ, that feud was AMAZING. And it stayed hot for almost three years.

Yeah, they don't make feuds like that any more. I can only hope that Owens/Zayn can come close to what they put together.

Chyna v Lita oh boy, this is a fucking match to die for.

Pentagon has a sweet looking Mexican flag mask. Need to get a picture of it.

So... what is the story behind the infamous Muhammad Ali versus Inoki match?

My basic idea is it was just meant to be your classic wrestler versus boxer pro wrestling style match but since Inoki is Inoki and cant be trusted not to randomly start shootin' mid match Ali made the condition that he wasn't allowed grapple or punch. And could only kick with one knee on the ground. Likewise Ali wasnt allowed do any fast strikes. So in the end you had Antonio Inoki kicking Muhammad Ali repeatedly in the leg for 15 rounds and not much else.

In the end was that a actual shoot fight or pro wrestling match?

 

[Data West]

holy fuck AAA is wasting SO much time

 

[Data West]

Taya coming out to Drake, lol

 

[Bluekaveli]

Austin sure does talk a lot of shit for a guy who has a paperback spine and neck. If I were Michael Cole, I'd take a brick right to the side of his neck and show him who a bad ass really is. Puasy ass rattlesnake, serves him right that Taker put him through a window.

that whole thing is so fucking bizarre.

Ali ruined his career over some fucking fake ass wrestling thing that turned into a shoot because Inoki wanted to go over. Its a lesson to every fighter that you don't go into something you havn't trained properly for and you have to have the rules set into fucking stone beforehand.

Unsurprisingly, Faby vs Aja is going to happen

That was my understanding as well.

I think it was a 'fixed' shoot.

Team Mexico are supposed to be the faces. And they repeatedly use low blows against Team Japan.

He looks the exact same as he did in the 90s. He's the picture of 'eternal youth'

 

[Data West]

name a weirder team

 

[Bluekaveli]

When Cole's voice gets hoarse, it's kinda funny. That puberty starting to kick in.

Masato Tanaka is still ticking along.

You could hear a pin drop for Team TNA's entrance


AAA runnning Mysterio, Wagner, Horus

[DMczaf]

We lost Ali, fam.

 

[Data West]

Amazing to see Rey Horus in an AAA arena in the Lucha Mega Powers team with fucking Rey Mysterio and Dr Wagner Jr

must be a huge moment for him

 

[Zach]

David Flair is atrocious. How did Ric let this happen? Even as his dad, I can't imagine him being like "yeah, he's doing okay..." What an embarrassment.

Damnit!

According to what I remember from blassies book, it was supposed to be a work, but when Ali got there, his camp saw how small inoki was and convinced Ali that he would look bad if Ali didn't just go out and beat him, so it turned into a shoot.

 

[Lightning Count]

Very sad news, still the greatest heavyweight in boxing history.
