Sin Cara would applaud that career-ending botch
Mid South was my first exposure to wrestling as a kid. They had a short live TV show on Saturday mornings and big matches down at the Memphis Coliseum. Tickets were free to the show on Saturday, but it was mostly promos, non title matches, or matches that ended in DQ. It was basically an live ad to get you to buy tickets to the show at the Coliseum. There was a lot of talent and legends who came up or through Mid South. Lawler, Bill Dundee, Jimmy Hart, Jim Cornette and Jeff Garrett were the main ones who stayed around a long time, but I got to see Flair, the Von Erich's, Hogan, and a very young Undertaker. Kerry Von Erich was very special, he had the size, ability, mic work and made even the iron claw look incredibly painful.
Taker was young with little experience and had a Valet handling most of his promos, even then you could tell he was going to be huge, if he didnt die or burn out. By the time he made it to WWF, I think he had already lost a step. It was incredible how athletic he was at his size and how quickly his in ring work improved week to week. He took some very nasty bumps every week and I guess that could be part of the reason why he seem like he lost a step working hurt for so long.

I'm still reading through the thread but that was an amazing swerve. Russo would be put to shame.
I'm up to the part where former NeoGAF and Wrassle-GAF member Dave Meltzer enters the fold with his dirt sheets.

Everything I've seen of young Taker makes me wonder how the fuck WCW couldn't figure out what to do with him. But they also couldn't figure out what to do with Hall and Nash.

who knew zombie mortician werstler was the greatest gimmick ever to be fair
What I've seen from Nash in WCW was a giant guy who was good looking, charismatic, and was actually athletic. When he got to the big time, Vince told him to knock that shit off and he took it to heart. And I see pretty much the same thing in Taker, except way more athletic and maybe less charismatic. How you can't figure out what to do with either of them makes no sense to me.

Was Batista always this fashionable? I just remember him being so boring in the past, but I'm sure I was just tuning him out.
Also, audience is so tuned out right now. LOL.

It's a fun game, which I thought got better once you got the 2 hour story out of the way. There's a ton of stuff to do after that.

Imagine the hat floating off of Wyatt's head and landing on Big Shows... It's the same person!!!!
It's the fameassermortiher - get it right.
I don't know all the details but here's what I got from the thread.
famousmortimer was some sort of insider (I think he knows people at Sony). At one point he headed some sort of anti-DRM campaign or something? No idea. But anyway, out of the attention he got from that he decided to start and IndieGoGo campaign so he could make his own game website that would apparently "change game journalism".
Fast forward to yesterday, he made a bunch of claims about all the people leaving Sony as of late. One of which was him claiming the Driveclub guy got canned because he kept missing deadlines.
Today, Driveclub guy posted, said he didn't get canned, but his kid was diagnosed with a horrible disease and he couldn't take care of his son and work on the project, so he left voluntarily. He said he posted because he was legitimately concerned about his ability to get a job in the future if famousmortimer's claims went uncontested. famousmortimer's next response was some sort of dismissive twitter post where he just said he was "retiring as a GAF insider or whatever the fuck that means". Driveclub guy and famousmortimer work it out, famousmortimer apologizes, and then explains that he wrote the tweet that pissed people off before he had even read Driveclub guy's response, and the dismissive tone and timing were simply a coincidence. He got banned anyway and now some people hate him.
That's pretty much what I got out of it.

I think one of the main reasons why Dean Ambrose catches flack for being the third best performer in the The Sheild is because of his look. I think he needs a new haircut and maybe something adjusted to make him look a bit more intimidating. Seth Rollins has been absolutely top notch recently. Easily tied with Roman Reigns. Dean Ambrose is just inches behind them and I think it's somewhat due to his appearance being less intimidating and convincing.
