So THIS is the story. How long ago was this?

I dunno, four months? Bronson just kinda laughed at it, cuz he gets that stro is basically harmless, if caustic and obsessive (he literally has a Youtube series that's like 80 videos of him beating up Konnan in some WCW game), but still, not a good look to be throwing in with the anti-trans dummies, even as a joke.

So, long enough that it's a dead issue. That's sorta what I figured. Moving on, then.

Its insane how fast Ric has aged

This would've been like 2002, right? He's had a rough decade in there. Stress, you know.

 

[Fox318]

Its insane how fast Ric has aged

he was on the cutting edge of testosterone treatments for a while but I think after Eddie he had to stop.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

"Legend Killer" Brock Lesnar was a fun mini phase

 

[Jimmy King]

he was on the cutting edge of testosterone treatments for a while but I think after Eddie he had to stop.

if that was 2002 you bet your ass he was on HGH

 

[bjork]

I never got around to specifics but i read that he was having financial problems, as in no money, no?

I think he's had financial problems way longer than that, but I hadn't heard this HGH business. If he got off the juice, it would explain a lot. Look at 1992 Hogan and then 1993 Hogan, he's like a deflated balloon. So take the drugs out of Flair and up his age by 20%, makes sense.

 

[Carnby]

Okay. Don't, I guess.

Fuck this passive aggressive shit post.

 

[somedevil]

Well I didn't total divas showed what the lead NXT writer looks like:

[NoRéN]

She looks so much bigger than him. Made me think of

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Looks like Kana's gimmick is she beats people up very very very badly.

The segment where Regal showed Brook and Emma Kana's top 20 moves on youtube was grand.

 

[DMczaf]

Bret Hart Code Review should be a WWE Network show

 

[Bronx-Man]

[UrbanDandy]

I have nothing against Dana Brooke but I would really like to see Asuka get over as the female Tajiri and stiff the hell out of people. Will be fun to see and this could be a huge opportunity for Dana Brooke to show how far she has come in her training.

Yeah, me too. I saw her contract signing video. Dana needs some work on the mic.

 

[Shadow780]

That promo still hyped the shit outta me, I am so ready next week.

Spoiler

pls stay strong WWE Network

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Feeding Cesaro to the Big Show is really fucked up guys. Show will never look like a threat to Brock after their last encounter and they've squandered Cesaro's popularity yet again.

It's just a loss. Losing doesn't mean much in wrestling.

Caesaro's fine.

[Barrage]

Yoo..Ryback is gettin' bullied. Poor 'Back, dealing with Bryan and Stardust (AKA CM Punk Sleeper Cells).

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Best aesthetics in wresting history?

 

[Mr. Luchador]

lol 2k

legit shook

 

[Fox318]

Best aesthetics in wresting history?

Doesn't it have to go to warrior?

He was pretty much just the look.

 

[Aiii]

The Ryback and Daniel Bryan could make the best reality show together.

 

[bjork]

Fuck this passive aggressive shit post.

Fuck being paranoid about some stranger posting on the internet.

Macho pre-bodysuits.

 

[Aiii]

Asuka is gonna murder Dana Brooke. Can't wait.

 

[British Monsoon]

Naito/Sombra and Daniels/Kazarian are confirmed for the tag league, per Big Dave. Also, Elgin's being brought in for the tour and there's talk of teaming him up with Tanahashi.

Yeah, he was definitely on HGH. Look at him here, FFS. In this, he's in better shape than he's ever been since 1989, and he's well over 50. Although to be fair, I'm pretty sure he wasn't ever on anything performance enhancing throughout his entire WCW run of 1993 onwards, so there's that.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Its insane how fast Ric has aged

He looked like a 50 year old man for at least 30 years, so I'd say he's done OK.

 

[bjork]

What would you say the last great Flair match was?

I feel like I saw him in a title match with HHH one time that was pretty good, but I'm super fuzzy on the year.

 

[Browny]

I'd guess at the cage match at Taboo Tuesday 2005? That was pretty good stuff.

The last great match is vs. Michaels - but probably more because of the story.

 

[Perspicacity]

And personal threats on wrasslegaf memebers through other message boards.

What does this even mean

EDIT: Sorry just saw your post above Snowman. Guess they're all guilty of working themselves into a shoot

I looked it up, because I think I missed that PPV. Turns out it was from further back than I thought: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9rj8x_raw-triple-h-vs-ric-flair-world-tit_sport

 

[Shadow780]

This is glorious, can it be Wednesday already?

 

[klonere]

KO posted this on twitter

Is that....Nick Jackson?

 

[bjork]

No, that's Big Show

 

[Mr. Luchador]

hahaha funnier than it should have been, but that made me laugh.

 

[British Monsoon]

It's Matt Jackson anyways

I was reminded of this the other day; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucgdqD8kGlE the worst thing the Bucks have ever had to do, so cringe, so TNA.

Seriously, how is that piece of shit promotion still operating? I cannot fathom it.

I got 30 seconds in to the performance.

Kill the TNA.

Truly one of the great mysteries of the world.

(It really is mind-boggling.)

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

That build up video for Bayley/Sasha was great, really looking forward to seeing what they do for 30 minutes. Their Brooklyn match is my favorite of the year and admittedly the first match in YEARS that I've gone back and watched more than once. It's at the very least my WWE "Universe" MOTY.

Breeze with the unprettier. Is Christian going to be his manager.

I was mildly annoyed with the commentary team playing stupid on the move.

I fully expect Gable and Jordan to win.

Same, it feels like that's what it's been building up to.

It's amazing that after all the years of Flair landing bumps like that he's never apparently had any hip problems. Did he start landing on more his side after the plane crash or was that something he always did? Because I can't remember ever seeing Ric take a flat back bump.


Oh and yeah in Triple H(GH) probably got Ric on his workout regiment at the time.

 

[klonere]

Same, it feels like that's what it's been building up to.

Yeah I hope they do let these guys win it. I'm expecting the finals to be them and the Southern Boys. Joe & Balor are going to turn on each other or something of that ilk.
