Click the pic to visit the TBS WCW Thunder website... or what's still left of it. It's a bit like when you see those photographs of the insides of derelict cinemas or whatever.

 

http://static.tbs.com/sports/thunder/t_images/images.htm - Bottom left. Can't for the life of me figure out whose chin that is. Anyone help?

Clearly Shawn Michaels.

He reckons Wigan are going to get beaten 40-1. Brilliant stuff.

What belt is he holding? Doesn't look familiar, but I might be just being a bit dense

Amazing. Just imagining Bully Ray shouting 'Get the tables' as Devon returns with a silk sheet and some scatter pillows. The Aces and eights break into a chorus of 'When a man loves a woman' by Marvin Gaye.

It's been that sort of Friday.

Brooke and Bully live sex celebration.

I was just a bit sick in my mouth.

I miss the Bentley bounce!

Already started brilliantly today with a bit of Messuggah during the day on Radio 1! I've warmed a lot to Daniel P Carter this week, have thought he was a bit of a bellend on previous listens, but he seems like he's having a whale of a time doing this 'new music takeover' thing. Shame it ends after today though, could do with more metal during the day on national radio occasionally!

Who is the guy on the left?

Imagine Vince having his Subway, and a bloke in a Santino shirt walks in asking if he'd sign KENTA.

 

What do you reckon Vince has from Subway? I reckon a foot-long Meatball Marinara. I certainly wouldn't want that interrupted by a wrestling fan.

Steak. Rare. On Herby Italian. I have nothing to support this theory.

Decided to have a flutter on the ppv last night:

Billy Gunn for a surprise entry in the rumble? Could definitely see that happening.

He ain't naked and you don't see Bills face.

 

Sour grapes from this cunt.

 

Devon Nicholson claimed in a statement on the Observer site that the wrestler in question was Drew Hankinson, and he was indeed totally naked, delivering moves to Zack Ryder and Melissa Coates.

 

It was a rib on DeMott to get out of that days' training, as DeMott said he'd cancel training for the day if someone wrestled in the ring naked.

It doesn't sound like anything more than the sort of thing that happens in any sports training type setup. Certainly sounds like hijinks rather than some sinister sexual harassment thing! I haven;t opened the thread about it due to being at work, but doesn't sound as rapey as the initial story made it sound! (I could be wrong, having not been in the thread for NSFW reasons!)

Sad story alright, but hopefully the kid gets the money together for the treatment, sounds like he's been through the wars alright! Although I did think it was badly put together by The Mail to have a quote saying the child doesn't like WWE immediately below a picture of the kid with John Cena.

Going back to the Round Table i noticed JR noting that Road Dogg made will into seven figures one year when things were really hot. Now i know they were coining it in all over the place from ticket sales, merchandise and whatever else and also that the N.A.O were one of their marquee acts back then but it makes you wonder what the very top level guys were making if someone like him was bringing in in excess of $1m

I remember reading in Powerslam years ago that Austin was on around 6 million dollars a year in 98/99, but how accurate that is I couldn't say. mad amounts of money if so!

There might be one last Sting rumour mill left in the tank after all.

Triple H is apparently among many that are hoping that Sting might pass on renewing with TNA when his contract expires at the end of the year.

According to a source, WWE would like to present Sting with a multi-faceted licensing deal which would include incorporating him into their Mattel deal and home videos. It would also likely include an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

 

Signing Sting to a deal is apparently not a high priority for Vince McMahon, whereas Triple H is said to hold Sting in high regard.

 

At this stage in the game, if Sting ever worked for WWE, Sting vs Undertaker would probably be horrendous. They are both pretty knackered and need someone to push them into a good match. Triple H vs Sting was apparently going to be the match they wanted to do in 2003, and the style Triple H works and Sting's 60 year old firey teenage babyface act would work well together. It wouldn't be a bad little storyline. Especially if you got Flair involved in the storyline.

I wonder, whether this might tempt Sting. HoF, plus one last run, reduced schedule, huge licensing deal would be a major thing to turn down.

Obviously not that Real estate Steve needs the money, but still! Considering Sting has always maintained he was concerned with what they might do with his character and hwo much control he's have if he went to WWE it would seem unlikely, but given that Triple H nearly managed to talk Bruno Sammartino into coming in for the Hof, (or at least thinning the ice somewhat) it might work.

I'd love to see him have one run in WWE, even if it's short lived.

If you throw The Rock on a major stadium ppv over here it might sell out, maybe. If not, I can't see it. Will definitely go if they were to do something like that over here though!

Agreed, but I'd replace him with:

I've rediscovered a love for Electric Six. Fire is an absolute corker of an album and although no albums since have come close to it, Senor Smoke is fantastic to cruise along to down the A47. Bite me and Future Boys are absolute riots. I like how they try and use the cheapest possible synth gear and also the inherent silliness and downright vulgarity of their lyrics ("Are you ready for my bloody bloody?").

 

I imagine they don't cater for most folk's taste, but for anyone interested their touring the UK this winter and their set is basically the entire first album nearly ten years on. Smashing.

Electric 6 are touring in december mate, and I believe they are performing 'Fire' in it's entirety for its 10 year anniversary. Just so you know. Cracking live band!

Why does everyone have to do the thing where they put the other persons name under the photo of the one person?Is it to emphasise how similar they look?It's fucking stupid and annoying and shit.

I don't know if it's because of this, but Private Eye have always had a lookalike part in their letters section and use the same name swapping as well.

EDIT: Ignore - Has been answered in the Raw thread

Having watched TNA quite a bit recently, and having just watched the CM Punk dvd, I really hope Jeff Hardy does make a return at some point soon to WWE. Him and Punk had a really good chemistry and I think Hardy still has one big run left in him, and he'd be a main event player as soon as he walked in the door. With Punk a fully fledged heel now as well, I think it'd make a good little programme if, for example, in the highly likely situation Rock and Cena are busy come Mania time (providing Hardy's contract is up before then).

Hi! I basically missed the whole Russo reign of "error" in WCW in 1999 and 2000. Does anybody have any match or interview recommendations that I should be hunting on Youtube for? Thanks a lot!

Pinata on a pole match

Russo shoots on Goldberg

Russo-mobile

Arquette

War games 2000

These are just a few of the main things, there is LOADS more terrible booking throughout Russo's tenure in charge.

At home with Paul Bearer

Bit of a weird segment really.

If you've got a spare hour and a half, Suburban Commando is here in it's entirety

No Mercy 2002 advert

I'd never seen this before, made me laugh though.
