Jericho on Bret hearing a finish from Terry Taylor,
'Wait a second. You mean to tell me Red Rooster is calling the shots now?'

It's really not good

i'd like it more if there were no vocals

Damn Terry Pratchett died. Enjoyed his writing. So many Discworld novels.

If you don't know who that is, read a book.

Great Khali selfies returned!

It's bedtime. Enjoy some Yamamoto Linda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JjN5TYI2n4

have you seen his bodybuilding pics back in the day? I see why the WWE would sign him.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Johnny Cage is officially confirmed for Mortal Kombat X. All is right in the world.

Johnny and Sonya are SOOOOOO dead.

I want MKX to have some sort of dream sequence where the game becomes live-action again.

Still missing the best character ever.

cocaine is macho man in powdered form

This is the most accurate thing I've ever read about cocaine

Elvira is so dope.

 

[British Monsoon]

Terry Pratchett's passing has left me immeasurably saddened, but contextless Khali selfies are helping a bit. Thank's Vince

Friends forever:

Damn, I finally looked. Not fucking bad.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Stan Hansen's theme is the ultimate way to start the day. No wonder it's called 'Sunrise'

 

[FallingEdge]

Damn, I finally looked. Not fucking bad.

he was pretty legit back in the day

 

[RP912]

Perfect physique...shitty everything.

WWE lawyers are on the line.

They know not to fuck with Wagner.

There are certain stories that have begun to have some light shed on it regarding Bill Demott, Triple H and current NXT Champion Kevin Owens.

Bill Demott was the agent for the Owens vs. CJ Parker match at NXT R-Evolution and was said to be unhappy with how the match went.

Demott was heard in being upset with how the match was finalized and booked, including Owens doing a flip from the ring to the floor.

Demott reportedly complained to Triple H about the match and Triple H just said to let Owens do what he wants.

This led to a lot of jealousy and heat from many in the company, especially since most of the talent is managed under a microscope and told not to wrestle “indie style.”

heh

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Damn, I finally looked. Not fucking bad.

Guess he got tips about staying in shape from big show

 

[RP912]

heh

wtf is indie style?

 

[Data West]

michinoku pro is so fucking struggle. fuji bro you gotta get out of there.

 

[jmdajr]

wtf is indie style?

Not sure. But it's not Gangnam Style.

 

[Hasney]

Yeah, Terry was one of those that you expect coming for ages, but still devastating when it does.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

wtf is indie style?

Flippy n dippy. Doing things that don't look characteristic for your body type. Blowing your load way early.

 

[scabro]

Owens needed to make an impact to get the ball rolling on his feud with Zayn. His debut match was perfect.

 

[Serpentine]

Pretty cool, pretty cool. Nice to see an interesting heel vs heel feud

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I think the big issue is that we've seen him do that crazy dive now - instead of it happening at a bigger event. I'm fine with it but I can see why they wouldn't want him to do that just yet.

 

[Data West]

Funny to note that now more people know YASSHI than Kondo considering how they were built up. Kind of like Dibiase and Rhodes.

Wrestle-1. Not even once.

 

[RP912]

Basically doing a top rope diamond cutter into a inverted ddt while doing a hunna to the dude on the other side of the ring.

Gotcha...

 

[Patryn]

Fake Razor actually did a good impression, so I'll give him that

Also he seems to be doing alright these days:

Aaron Rodgers?

 

[Data West]

Shuji Kondo kind of wrestles what I imagine they want Roman to be perceived like.

 

[scabro]

sure but theres lots of other things Owens could pull out if they want that big guy does thing hes not supposed to do spot. it kinda feels like that dive is the new ddt anyway. everyone does it.

 

[Anth0ny]

So this is happening....

Shame they announced it late, most people will already have their Friday plans sealed up by now.

The main event of the weekend. Nice.

That crowd is gonna be super hot.

 

[slightconfuse]

Kayfabe is dead

 

[FyreWulff]

Guess he got tips about staying in shape from big show

He has acromegaly , which he didn't get treated for until 2012. Show got the surgery to fix it in the early 90s.

While it makes him big, it also slowly fucks you up until it kills you.

 

[avengers23]

Feels good to memorialize Terry Pratchett with other WrassleGAFers, friends.

 

[British Monsoon]

Kayfabe is dead

They're all heels, it's cool. Well, Tenzan's sort of a heel after hitting Koji with the NWA belt, I guess. At least New Japan has them travel separately.

 

[Data West]

Yano's a heel?

 

[BronsonLee]

Yano's their token good-natured buddy who got caught up in their evil schemes but is too nice to abandon them

So they abandon HIM

 

[Data West]

I really like watching Muta matches post-2002 because I can stop watching after the entrance. Easy as ever.

The lighting at Wrestle-1 makes the lighting at ROH look like Wrestlemania 9.

Not even joking. Who ok'd this?

 

[BronsonLee]

I did. Dat lighting looks amaaazing

 

[Sephzilla]

So between Wrestlemania 8 and 9 were there massive budget cuts at WWF or something? I'd really like to know what the mindset was to go from a venue like this

to a venue like this

Hulk left. Flair left. Jake left. Sid left. Piper left. Quake left. Steroid scandal. Sex scandal too, I believe.

WWF business dropped like a rock due to the the steroid scandal and other issues like talent departures. Even then, WM 7 had to be moved from the huge arena to a regular one because ticket sales were terrible (they made up some guff about "bomb threats") so WWF business had been in decline for several years.

I kind of figured this had to have been around the time of the steroid scandal (i forgot when that exactly happened) i mean, look at Hogan at WM9, this is the thinnest I think he's ever been

 

[iMax]

Also, why did they go to arenas instead of stadiums around 2000?
