Man that might have actually been pretty interesting if they just went for it and slugged each other.
He's Jesse THE BODY Ventura. Not Jesse THE SLOB Ventura. It wouldn't make sense for him to NOT mock someone's weight.
I could just imagine some 80's version of Brandon Stroud writing some letter to the editor in his hometown newspaper about it.

Is there a wrestler/former wrestler who Kane isn't friendly with, lol.

Don't you dare bring logic into this thread. Don't you dare.
So please please please let bean, let bean, let bean let bean get what he wants this timeeeeee.
Anytime he's ever brought up in an interview, wrestlers always speak of him in glowing terms.
Serious question that I'd assume you'd know: Has Kane ever hurt someone with his tombstone? His looked so much more dangerous and reckless than Taker's, but I've never heard of anyone getting hurt from it.
No. In fact, Taker's tombstone is the original reason why it was banned.
He botched hitting HHH with it at JD 2000, and HHH actually laid in the ring for a minutes unable to move. After that, it was banned. Taker also botched the tombstone on Kane at WM 14, but luckily, Kane was able to move, and it just hit his shoulder.

Haven't had a wrestling dream in a long time, see the life that I've had can make a good man bad.

Yeah I just watched the WM14 match and Kane was lucky not to get hurt on that. I do recall the Judgement Day tombstone as well, but Kane's in general looked like it would be much more likely to hurt someone since he didn't protect the guy's head between his knees like Taker.

WM14 was my most watched WWF PPV as I had it on VHS. Think I must have watched it like once a month, that and Alien Resurrection!
I'm actually surprised you say that, because the general criticism of Kane's tombstone on the IWC has always been that Kane didn't drive the guy's head closer to the mat, and that he was overprotective, which made it look fake. Either way, if it looks dangerous, but it never has been with him, then he must be making it look good, lol.
Taker also botched the tombstone against someone in 1996, I believe, but I can't remember who.

Sunny has been stocking up.
Well the sonofabitch already knows about them... no surprise!
Watched JD 2000 yesterday and that tombstone was sloppy as hell. Not sure why he didn't position HHH properly

Is that a Louis Vuitton belt?
It don't matter if you are black or white!Yep.
I'm Wrasslemania'd out for the day. Got up to 15 so far. It's not a good show. Austin/Rock is decent, Shane vs X-Pac is so much better than it had any right to be. The rest of the show flat out sucks. Not excited to rewatch 2000. I think I'll dig into some NWA, make some gifs, start off my 3rd bottle of Nyquil in the past 12 days, and see what happens tomorrow.
I agree on Piper. Never liked him as a face or a heel, be it promos, as a commentator, or in the ring. Especially in the ring. I've seen 3 Piper matches I'd consider enjoyable: Piper vs Valentine at Starrcade, Piper vs Flair at the MSG show currently on the Network, and Piper vs Bret at WM8. He was a terrible wrestler and only got over as a heel because he was racist and sexist as you could possibly be without shouting nigger. Which I'm sure he would have if he could have. Dude wasn't good even in his prime, so coming into WCW deep into his 40s, being allowed to ramble on TV for 15-20 minutes at a time, and then have 15-20 minute long matches against other dudes from his era was a terrible idea.

I really hope they bring some merch to sell at the ROH/NJPW shows. Would get a NJPW logo, Bullet Club, Nakamura, and Okada shirt.
He was a full on cunt and stayed that way the rest of his career.
Dude was a series of increasingly diminishing returns when Vince kept bringing him back. In 1993 against Lawler (fucking awful), as guest ref in 1994 and 1995, and as acting president/Goldust thing in 1996. Then WCW had to get in on it. And TNA. And Vince again in the 2000s. He never did anything to make anyone else look good his entire career. It was always about him and when it came time to lose, he magically never got pinned. Guy weaseled his way out of more loses than Hogan. In fact, the only guy I can remember him losing to clean was Bret at WM8.

That desperado t-shirt is botching my Spanish.
Anyway, Hope Joe gets the title.
Does Willow the Wisp debut at Lockdown?
He will be in the Lethal Lockdown match!
