The crowd reaction of the gif above was louder and hotter than 99% of whatever WWE wrestler gets today.

THAT'S NOT CICLOPE!

A real testament to how amazing Chris Jericho has always been.

Alright fine.

November is officially That Motherfucker Month

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

I personally vote for Sinavember, and Sinacember to Remember.

So, after watching the last two Lucha Underground trailers, I'm really excited.

-Looks like they'll have a lot of pre-recorded scripted segments and training vignettes
-Reality TV talking head segments
-There will be inter-gender matches
-With a "season" structure, they know where they want each character to go, which means the potential for tighter and more satisfying story arcs
-Awesome visual vibe
-I'm wondering if they'll show full matches, and how those matches will be filmed

There is a lot to be psyched about.

Love it or hate it you got to respect this opinion, that of the WWE Universe.

 

[Zach]

Yes! I've found some hilarious, outdated wrasslin' rumors site. I'm cheating and looking ahead.

From February 1996:

• Steve Austin is growing a goatee and will stay bald.
  
• Diesel plans on re-signing with the WWF.
  
• Razor Ramon must give his notice by next week if he plans to jump ship, since he signed a contract that rolls over automatically unless he gives a 90-day notice.

God, Cena is such a dickwad about Bryan's injury on Total Divas.

RIP

And how are Drew and Jinder's WWE careers going right now?

"Ladies..."

OMFG. I'M DYING!

Woah!

Can someone fill me in on what happened between Stro and Aii?

Lover's quarrel.

Now taking bets on what eventually causes Brother Bionic to drop his current gimmick

Option 1: fatigue, because it's been fucking forever

Option 2: Cena gets hit by a bus or some sort of large vehicle, causing him to switch to a different soul sucking leech, most likely Hogan

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

So, this is happening in a couple of weeks...

I'd be down if I lived nearby.

I'd like to see this as well. the hardys sounded like they were in a great place on talk is jericho a few weeks back, even if Matt talked way too much.

NBA new tv deal

@RichSandomir: NBA to announce $24 billion/9 year deal w/ ESPN and TNT on Monday. Annual average value nearly 3x current deal.

Everyone getting paid but Vince

 

[Ninhead]

Watching Fall Brawl 98 on the 9.99 machine. Is it just me, or does Konnan quoting Master P just feel... I dunno, shitty?

Also, David Penzer looks like half a butt puppet.

1. Cena would never stop doing something just because it's stale.

2. WELLLLLLLLLL IT'S THE BIONIC ARM

 

[Fox318]

98 royal rumble.

Jim Ross and Lawler are great

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Everyone getting paid but Vince

I really wonder if at some point before he dies if a light will ever go on in his head that what he's giving people right now is not good. I think he sees things like the Network not doing so hot and not being able to get a decent TV deal as a failing of other companies for not "getting it," instead of Vince realizing what the entire world already knows which is that this is all just horrible TV. He's more out of touch than ever.

I feel 1993-1995 NG vibes from all of these fucking corny gimmicks and storylines that no one's emotionally invested in.

This ain't no gimmick, Jack. You best remember that.

Because if you don't, I'm not going to beat you, I'm going to beat your ass.

Thank you, friend. You were always the sane one amongst these loons.

Here's a reminder of my full support for the illegal jiff future:

2. WELLLLLLLLLL IT'S THE BIONIC ARM

The Showster already has my support, and has had it for years now, Jack. That wouldn't be a change.

 

[Serpentine]

I have a class from 5:10-8 PM on Mondays this quarter, meaning i can't even watch Raw accidentally. I will be expecting high quality gifs for me to see when i get home for these next ten weeks.

Gimmick posting is real, bro. Don't believe me, go to one of the Smash threads over on gaming side. One poster responds to literally everything with Hatsune Miku gifs.

1998 Royal Rumble

JR is so fucking good.

 

[JavyOO7]

Watching the Austin story for the MNW doc. So far its more or less the same thing as his DVD that is also on the network. But I just love hearing his stories again, and the vignettes they are showing at his time at ECW. What passion.

 

[Alucard]

Speaking of JR, how was his performance on that MMA show with Sonnen?

really the only wrestler I love to hear about and how his career came to be. guy kept wrestling popular for the rest of the 90s.

thank god hbk was out with an injury. sue me guys for saying that, seriously. austin and rock never would have got pushes if he never got injured and wrestling would have dropped in popularity around the time it was hitting it's zenith. it's the truth.

[dream]

Remember when CureVylash took a tone with me for suggesting that WWE's television deal was terrible? Positivity gimmicks, man.

 

[Alucard]

I'd like to see this as well. the hardys sounded like they were in a great place on talk is jericho a few weeks back, even if Matt talked way too much.

I thought that interview was good too. Both Hardys seem to know where they are in their careers, and it sounds like they have their heads screwed on right. Happy for the both of them, and I'm sure they'll be able to put together something fun with The Young Bucks.

 

[Gonzalez]

I'm reminded of Misawa whenever I see Baron Corbin.

 

[Data West]

They should put the Raw Bowl 96 on the Network. That was a dumb/great episode of Raw. And Sid hits one of the nastiest looking chokeslams ever on it.

Even if it does have jobbers like the Smoking Guns, Savio Vega, and worn out Yoko

 

[Alucard]

Well, time to head off to bed. I'll leave ya'll with these...

 

[Data West]

I think that Vince commentary for the Raw bowl intro was Vince preparing for the XFL.

So no one is surprised why the XFL failed. Jesus, Vince's commentary voice is worse than his roster in 1995. And it STARTS with the Raw bowl event. And it takes forever

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Dat hairline.

Some Waylon Mercy shit going on there. No bandana or even a doorag can save that.

Failure imminent.

 

[Data West]

Hard times is when your card is Mabel vs Diesel, Henry Godwinn vs Triple H, and Jarrett vs Ahmed, daddy. Raw Bowl makes it so apparent how much Vince hates the god damn NFL. I can feel him smiling and veins popping while he worked on the script for this.

[Zach]

Welp... from this wrestling rumors website I'm looking at (May of '96):

When KEVIN NASH debuts on the 10 June 1996 Nitro (as
reported a few months back) it will be against ALEX WRIGHT and he will
be bringing back the VINNIE VEGAS gimmick (which was originally a
parody of VINCE MCMAHON in response to the WWF having TED DIBIASE as a
parody of TED TURNER).

New news on the "Blood Runs Cold" teasers: Late last week, most
sources are guessing it would be used for SCOTT HALL's return and
would be something close to ECW's "IceMan" gimmick when DEAN MALENKO
was there. (Scott will be programmed against HULK HOGAN as soon as
Hulk is back from his movie deal--but then note the next item). Now
the hotlines are all saying that the Blood Runs Cold promos are for a
team of three ninjas, one of whom will be Adam Bomb (who I reported
last week had decided to help out his wife's business rather than
re-sign with the WWF or jump to WCW--apparently he will be done
helping her out by the time this angle starts). Maybe they'll bring
back "YOSHI KWAN" CHAMPION as one of the other ninjas, as he was a
great worker.

>_>

He should just shave it and grow a goatee. That's guaranteed money in wrestling.

 

[Data West]

This Godwinn vs Hunter Hate Him match is better than I would have thought. Triple H hits a decent elbow drop off the pig pen.

Mabel's theme having the police sirens is pretty cool since they came back for his Big Daddy V gimmick.
