Booker should've won at WM19. Just like Sting should've won at WM31.

Kurt Angle is a treat.

I really wish he would retire, terrified he's going to wind up a paraplegic with his history of neck injuries. That and his painkiller addiction makes me fear for his health.

 

[British Monsoon]

Listening to Andy from RevPro on the Indy Corner podcast, he's asked about the WCPW thing - calls them "cheeky fuckers" and claims they'd previously told him they weren't interested in running London, then told him they wouldn't run the same week as him if they did run London and lastly said they wouldn't run the same side of London as RPW. A few months later, WCPW running London the day before RPW's joint shows with NJPW in a building 20 minutes down the road, lol.

Yes and yes.

 

[Sephzilla]

Booker should've won at WM19. Just like Sting should've won at WM31.

Sting not only shouldn't have lost to HHH, he shouldn't have been fighting HHH in the first place.

 

[somedevil]

WWE held an invitation only tryout: 19 men, 19 women and one women referee.

Included in the tryout were Eddie Kingston, Shayna Baszler, Heidi Lovelace, Kimber Lee, Nicole Savoy, and Cedric Rougeau son of the Mountie.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Steph wasn't as bad back then because she regularly got her comeuppance and was often made fun of by talent.

Now, she's pretty much untouchable and everyone just has to take shit from her. She's manages to use the show to stroke her own ego more than even her father at times.

Wasnt' she constantly fighting for credit of Smackdown, to the point they were saying things like "Steph's show, Smackdown,..."

The revionisit history of her and womans division is cracking me the hell up

 

[Bronx-Man]

Eddie Kingston finally got a try-out! And all it took was years of watching someone else rip off his gimmick.

 

[Lightning Count]

Sting not only shouldn't have lost to HHH, he shouldn't have been fighting HHH in the first place.

Agreed should have been Sting Vs The Undertaker.

Cool. I was just thinking about how they should have a female ref.

 

[Sephzilla]

Yep. I can't believe that after years and years of waiting, we finally get Sting and Undertaker at the same WrestleMania and they don't even fight each other.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

 

[Zach]

KroniK was bearable -- even halfway entertaining for a while -- but their heel turn, and Brian gah dang Adams getting time on the mic has ruined everything.

 

[Future Foundation]

I wish someone would ask Stephanie why her idea of a powerful woman in the workplace is a shrieking banshee who physically abuses her employees. If her TV persona was a real person, she'd be sued into oblivion and probably in prison.

Didn't she beat up Tom Phillips once? For no reason?

So, all the Japanese people they hire are gonna be kept in NXT?

Why is Ibushi not on Raw with the rest of the vanilla midgets fighting over the purple belt?

Good question. I hope he stays. I like how they are finally utilizing Hideo.

Did Ibushi sign a contract? I thought he refused so he is just doing the NXT dates that suit him.

AFAIK Ibushi didn't sign a long term deal with WWE

I think he'd be better in Smackdown, but regardless I think he'd fall flat on the main roster.

Speaking of Tom Phillips I love the inconsistency of his height. One moment he's several inches taller than the 5'10 Charlotte and later on the same show in another interview guys like Jericho who is like 5'10 in lifts on his best day and Owens tower over him. All because of this silly "interviewers can't be taller than the male wrasslers" thing Vince is apparently hung up on.

Nope. He just wants to wrestle wherever he wants without being held down. He is going to be wrestling a clown in DDT when NXT comes to Japan.

oh wait he did because HHH is a good guy

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Remember when people thought he'd let Goldberg over

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Exactly and it's not like they're fooling anyone by having him do it.

Bret Hart in WCW - via Wrestling with Wregret

Man, was this guy underused.

Didn't click but yeah what to do with Bret is one of those "no brainer" things but unfortunately WCW had no brains. I don't remember exactly how it was said but Vince and I think Bret both knew that despite how much money Bret would make they wouldn't know what to do with him. The introduction and first year of his in WCW was so easy to figure out back then even without the benefit of hindsight and they did none of it. I still strongly believe the nWo should've ended in 1998 with Sting starting the dismantling with squashing Hogan at Starcade, Bret in the middle and then Goldberg being the one to put the final nail in the coffin just as it seemed like the nWo was about to make some sort of comeback. But nope, egos and bullshit.

if they're so caught up on that shit just stick to petite female interviewers? and don't hire tall dudes?

 

[Sephzilla]

If Vince is still hung up about interviewers being taller than the talent then why did he hire someone who's six feet tall?

 

[Angry Grimace]

The weird thing is that you would have expected Vince to tell Tom to stand at his full height for the cruiserweights to emphasize that they're tiny. Hell, I would have expected Vince to bring in Noelle Foley wearing heels to interview the cruiserweights.

I spent a sick day catching up to some All Japan action from July. Strong BJ vs. The Big Guns from July was a lot of fun, full of manly hoss action. Jun Akiyama vs. Kento Miyahara reaches another level in its closing sequence; the way Akiyama refused to lose gave the match an epic feel even if only 605 people watched it at the venue.
