Yeah, dude, I flipped back and forth as a kid, but I was mostly a WCW guy.

Tuned into Fall Brawl 97 on the Network just in time to see Scott Norton job to Big Show
Only 24 hours to go until I can remove this avatar of lies.
EDIT: Also thinking of going to a WWE Live show that's going to be nearby in November. The venue's pretty small, so even though I'd be cheap and buy balcony tickets, I'll still have a good view.
Just got to see if Sandow's flying over. Do they tend to do autograph signings etc. at house shows?

Because Cena needs both arms to lift someone over him.

Such a great song.
holy christ these 1995 benoit/eddy matches are insane. in an alternate universe, there's a kick ass DVD just full of benoit vs. eddy matches.
they're just killing each other, week after week... while commentary talks about the hogan or sting program lol. i think one of their matches was literally interrupted by hogan arriving at the building. they just looked like geeks wrestling in the ring while hogan was on the big screen.
just started watching the november 13 1995 episode of nitro, and...
what the mother fuck
over the course of a few weeks, they went from quasi-NWO "dark side" hulk hogan to phantom of the opera, "it literally can't get more cartoony than this" dark side hulk hogan.
pretty sure the writers were high during this period. makes the show fun to watch, though.
edit: macho man just got introduced as "from the dark side of venice beach california" OMG haha
Now that I think about it, doesn't next month make it 20 years since Halloween Havoc 95?

Watched Road House for the first time last night. Terry Funk was great it in. That monster truck was bad ass too.

My hope is I stumble on an eBay listing for some parent trying to "teach their child a lesson".
If we're gonna keep making these jokes, at least accuse me of being SoulPlaya.

You don't make enough "your mom" jokes for us to do that.
Drat. My Kaneposting is gonna have to increase 200% by the end of next month.
I was thinking today while walking the dogs that out of the four greatest "wait, what the fuck, is this guy actually going to win moments?!?" Santino Marella has TWO OF THEM.
Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber. My all time favorite though is still King versus Miz on Raw. King of all hope spots.

I don't see why SoulPlaya hasn't returned after last week's RAW. Kane is in line for a title shot and everyone seems positive on him.

You try and do this and I'll sic Cena after you, tell him you made movez on his woman.
He pulled a Stro and insulted everyone and I guess left GAF forever.

Three quick things from Nitro 84 so far:
1. Isn't it amazing that tiny Dean Malenko won the U.S. Championship?2. Mortis is still the coolest, I don't care what you say.I love Dean Malenko.
3. Wrath ruined his mystique by speaking.
Bonus: Speaking of Wrath, oh my god:
Lmaooooo

Sure, go right ahead if you think that's a profitable use of your time
But, regardless of whether I thought it would happen directly after WK10 or not, that's the funny thing about predictions: they don't always come true. But, sometimes they do. Predicted this shit, didn't I;
Despite everyone telling me over and over "they don't do repeat main events at the Tokyo Dome!" and "there's no way old man Tanahashi's winning the G1 over [insert personal favourite here]", but here we are.

Oooh, snap. So easy to predict, yet no one wanted to believe. LOL.

Must be a lot of morons out there then, because I've been having to defend that prediction all goddamn year until Tanahashi actually won the G1.
The issue wasn't with people not believing that the ultimate outcome of Tanahashi/Okada was Okada becoming the new ace of the promotion, it was with people thinking it wouldn't happen THIS YEAR. They all thought it'd be Shinsuke/AJ, or some other fantastical dream match - it amazes me that people can watch this promotion and yet STILL expect them to proceed at a faster pace. This is the pace.

Listening to some more Stone Cold podcasts today...this man is obsessed with the DDT.
I think Marufuji is the Japanese Jeff Jarrett
You will never be as over as your kayfabe daddy wants you or you want you to be. You will never be the coolest guy in your promotion and you will always look like a complete fucking doofus when you try to fit in with something that is 'cool.'(Jarrett with the NWO, Marufuji with Nakamura)
People thought that shit could kill someone in the 80s. If you watched then, there's nothing modern that compares just in terms of 'myth' about it.

He had that whole 'Super Rookie' run though, while Tanahashi was still stuck in young lion mode - had Inoki not done such an amazingly good job of bringing low his own promotion, Nakamura may have remained the favourite of the two for quite a while longer. Instead, Yukes took over and in 2006 Tanahashi pulled ahead of Nakamura.

Raven had a great DDT
