Nah, it's TACO BELL time!

SWERVE: Anytime is drinking time because I'm a god damn adult and I will drink when I want to.

You mean you drink when you have to, you alcoholic

 

[MC Safety]

...the fact that Vince gave him the strap at all shows that shows that he absolutely did not hate the man.

I don't know. Less than 10 seconds ...

 

[Sokantish]

Maybe they were trying to get a Yes movement with Bob and it didn't happen. It scared Vince from attempting to do it again for many years!

What was the reason behind not having Diesel beat Bret for the belt?

 

[Sanjuro]

I don't know. Less than 10 seconds ...

Do you remember how Diesel was booked for that brief period?

Bob Backlund winning against Bret Hart.

Bob Backlund competing against Diesel.

The latter just didn't work and it was a good way to segway to a matchup between the two without a Hart loss.

There could be more to it. I just don't see Vince having hatred towards Backlund being one of them.

Backlund was a comedy character done correctly. He provided silly moments and entertainment, but HHH help you if he got you in his cross face chicken wing.

Cause he sucked????

 

[Aiii]

I'm watching WrestleMania 20, this PPV is making me really sad, decent matches overall, the clusterfuck Cruiserweight match, Goldberg vs Austin, boring super short Taker vs. Kane match aside. Guerrero vs. Angle made me extremely sad, Eddie was amazing guys, I miss him. And now Benoit's match

 

[strobogo]

If Punk had stayed, he could have had a mid show main event and hugged with Bryan at the end of the show. And then they could both be dead in 3 years.

 

[slightconfuse]

Worn down by the match schedule, CM Punk was not satisfied with his in ring performances and felt his fans weren’t seeing his best. Meanwhile, the bumps had caught up with him, he was said to be in great pain each time he used the Randy Savage elbow drop. Outside the ring he was tired of butting heads with management backstage and had been disheartened by for some time with the knowledge that he would never be pushed as WWE’s top man, no matter how good his promos and matches were because he doesn’t fit the prototypical WWE wrestler profile. It is possible that Punk would have been willing to endure the fatigue and the pain and the stress had he believed a breakthrough was feasible. However it was the realization that his career had peaked in 2012 which sapped Punk of his drive and drove him to the exit. Punk is keenly aware his value to WWE increases the longer he remains on the sidelines. Punk had been scheduled to face Triple H at WrestleMania XXX.

Grain if salt,, etc

 

[funkystudent]

Wrestlemania prediction.

Bryan is only walking out with the belt if he turned heel.


Triple H is closing mania in the ring one way or another.

 

[Sblargh]

So, the week before Wrestlemania, the Network will feed us a documentary about how Triple H is a great guy.
Hum...

 

[Professor Beef]

Bret wasn't that bad, c'mon.

[Razorskin]

What was Bryan's first PPV match?

 

[Macho Madness]

What was Bryan's first PPV match?

The main event of Summerslam 2010. Singles, Night of Champions 2010 against Miz for the US Title.

Grain if salt,, etc

This sounds like a bunch of speculation. Where'd you even get this?

 

[Razorskin]

Grain if salt,, etc

I was in pain every time I saw Punk do that elbow drop.

 

[strobogo]

I think he was on an 80s show as Hillbilly Jim's nephew.


Also guys, I feel no sympy for veggies. I'll slap the fuck out of a carrot.

 

[lovely ladies]

Saw this today, poor Ryder.

 

[Showaddy]

Guys, guys. Paige's signed photo on the store has a WWE logo instead of an NXT one, even though Neville & Zayn's still have NXT logos.

Plz tell me this is a sign guys. Seriously. Guys.

Spoiler

It's not a sign. I'm getting desperate.

Brie would be Smackdown general manager..and AJ would be dead?

The tag matches were pretty silly as well. They weren't terrible, but more could have been dine considering some of the talent in the ring. The Christian vs Jericho was really the only part of the first half of the show I enjoyed.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

100%. When they were talking about it, all I could think about was Hulk and Vince in tank tops, both very sweaty, spit balling ideas in between rails of coke, veins exploding out of necks, and random sets of dumbbell flies.

If you've ever seen Frasier, it's like when Frasier and Niles holed up in a hotel room to write nonstop.

Side table has rails of coke laid out, only Hulk is using them because Vince has to type.

I don't remember, to be honest.

It seems to me if your championship match is a dismissive farce that takes place in less time than it takes to urinate, you've offended someone.

I see parallels with Daniel Bryan. But who knows the mind of Vince McMahon?

 

[lovely ladies]

Hahaha, let's go back to the time tested bra and panties matches!

Actually, let's not, I don't really need to hear leering Jerry Lawler.

He still leers, he also comes across as even more creepy than his puppy days somehow

 

[Angry Grimace]

There aren't many transitions like that though. If Vince didn't like you, you're just not getting the title.

Either way, Backlund was a lot of fun on the program back then.

I seem to recall Backlund getting a pretty decent push, 10 second belt loss notwithstanding.

 

[lovely ladies]

Speaking of Lawler, I wasted a good hour last night watching the McMemphis stuff and loved it. Troll Vince can't be beat.

Damn right. McMemphis should be mandatory watching for any budding Wrasslin Historian.

 

[Sokantish]

is that on the network?

 

[strobogo]

Damn right. McMemphis should be mandatory watching for any budding Wrasslin Historian.

Can't wait for the Network to start putting up JCP/GCW/FCW/Mid Atlantic/Mid South stuff. I wish big events had been taped more often back then. I wonder if Vince has any ownership of the USWA/WWF working relationship footage. They definitely own some random odds and ends from Memphis, as there have been a number King matches that have shown up on DVDs or 24/7, but I'm not sure if that was because it was technically AWA footage or what.

I'd also like to see prime AWA stuff put up as well. As dope as the Network is right now, it should be unreal in about a year.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Nope. Not yet...

I will drive down to Indiana and we can eat some zucchini pesto pasta with a quinoa Salad and a chia pudding for dessert.

You will see the light and change your ways.
