Mean Gene

Wasn't Mean Gene the General Manager of WCW during Bash at the Beach when Hogan turned heel?

Or was it Bischoff? Why didn't the GM of WCW, Eric Bischoff, come out to confront the nWo? Why'd he send Mean Gene?

Well we know why now, he was in cahoots with the nWo, but what the hell was Mean Gene doing out there?

That's like Matt Stryker coming out to confront CM Punk right after he attacked the Rock.

Because Mean Gene was serious journalist who would do anything it takes to get the story.

Even if it means taking a bottle to the face.

Make you watch a Raiders game!

Now what?

Jokes on you, the Raiders didn't even play this week.

Serious journalist my bottom.

He wasn't impartial, he was totally biased against Hogan and the Outsiders. He said he was disgusted and Hogan even had legit reasons for doing what he did.

Snaku, if you have some spare time and are in the mood to make a Kane gif or two, may I suggest Kane attacking Pete Rose?

I'd like to show these Cincinnati fans who the real Big Red Machine is.

I like you.

 

[bjork]

That's not an attitude era thing. No one seems to remember WWF President, Gorilla Monsoon.

I do. He tried to roll up on Vader and got worked.

Don't tease like that with Word Life Cena

 

[Mr. Enigma]

A rare picture of Cena with the WWE Title before they screwed it all up.

 

[bean breath]

I hope the new title has an LED light array like Jericho's jacket.

 

[billy beane]

That was the peak of me liking Cena. Basically up until he went to Raw.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

My mind is blown that the wwe title is still the stupid bling one. The only explanation I Can think of is maybe replicas are selling a lot? Otherwise they had the perfect opportunity to change it 30 times now.

[Kaladin]

Good morning wrasslin thread.

 

[Kaladin]

New Japan is live, iPPV is looking good. I wish I knew Japanese.

 

[British Monsoon]

Haha, same here - I just make up what they're saying, lol.

 

[jobber]

I'm going to pretend like I'm watching! Will the Japanese table do a run in?

 

[Kaladin]

I wish they would hire some English announcers or at least a translator....but this is only the first show.

 

[Kaladin]

What match is this? I haven't really watched a full New Japan show since Wrestle Kingdom this year....and who was that that came in from the crowd?

This is the Manabu Nakanishi return match - the dude who came through the crowd was Takashi Iizuka, which was why the commentators crapped their pants when he got near (Abarai!!) because he likes beating up commentators, lol.

*edit, surely Strong Man has to be on Vince's radar? The size of the dude...

 

[jobber]

dem chops

 

[Kaladin]

Made me think of what Vince wants Ryback to be.

 

[jobber]

dat applause

 

[Kaladin]

dat applause

You decide to actually watch? I can't tell anymore.

 

[jobber]

You decide to actually watch? I can't tell anymore.

yes.

 

[jobber]

botch ending worthy of WWE standards

 

[British Monsoon]

Eh, weak finish. Yano and Iizuka are annoying.

 

[British Monsoon]

Battle of ridiculous tag team names up next, Forever Hooligans vs Time Splitters, lol.

 

[jobber]

That's not the Motor City Machineguns theme!

 

[Kaladin]

So are these guys down with Sheamus?

Edit: Wow, they really killed the arena audio for a bit there. Must have been a problem with the license on the intro or something.

 

[jobber]

dat pop for the belts being held up

 

[British Monsoon]

So are these guys down with Sheamus?

Probably, lol.

Rocky Romero is awesome. "FOREVER! FOREVER!"

Edit: Wow, they really killed the arena audio for a bit there.

Yeah, they have to do it for entrance themes they don't own the international rights for, unfortunately.

 

[Kaladin]

Forever Hooligans still isn't the worse team name for a tag team containing Rocky Romero. No Remorse Corps is easily still the worst.

 

[jobber]

lol

 

[British Monsoon]

Koslov has improved quite a lot. Lol, HUG IT OUT!

Forever Hooligans still isn't the worse team name for a tag team containing Rocky Romero. No Remorse Corps is easily still the worst.

Havana Pitbulls was clearly the best.

 

[Kaladin]

Team 友情

or

Team дружба

 

[jobber]

oh my god

 

[British Monsoon]

SUPAAAAAAAH FRANKENSTEINERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

 

[Kaladin]

I hate when teams go for a move like the Doomsday Device, or whatever they were going for there, and the guy holding the wrestler up suddenly looses his grip as soon as the other guy was stopped from doing the move.

 

[Kaladin]

How do you say LOL rollup in Japanese?

 

[jobber]

good god

all them spots and you job to a school boy

 

[British Monsoon]

Ah man, just as it was getting going. Oh well, I really like Shelley & KUSHIDA as a team.

FOREVER! EVER! EVER!

Meltzer gave this match 3.25 stars
