Undefeated Steak

 

Hope they just use the one belt going forward

Me too. As much as I love the world title belt (although it's not quite as nice as its predecessor the original Big Gold, which was the nicest belt ever), it's definitely had its day.

Edit - Wyatt, I keep thinking you're SpursRiot with that avatar of yours!

Just finished watching the Heyman documentary and it was every bit as good as I hoped it would be. Ian summed it up better than I can and like he says, it's the best documentary they've done in years (even better than the brilliant Ultimate Warrior one from earlier in the year).

Fitting that it comes 10 years after the Rise and Fall of ECW DVD which i'd argue is still WWE's best ever documentary.

Can someone explain that image please? I don't get it. Are Spike and SyFy one and the same?

AHH. I read the first sentence of your post and I'm refusing to read any more! I am the biggest Paul Heyman mark going and I can't wait to watch his DVD. Glad to see you liked it but I'm trying to avoid any 'spoilers' if you can call them then.

Actually, I know I shouldn't do but if someone could point me in the direction of a not-so-legal place to watch it until mine arrives then I'll be very happy. Don't ask "well what's the point in buying the DVD then" because I'll have had my money's worth out of it after the fifteenth time of watching it!

The opening Kane/Reigns match was a fun TV hardcore match. Though I've always found the kendo stick being under the ring annoying. Logically there could be a reason why a table, chair, ladder or trash can is under the ring but why would a kendo stick be there?

You see, I've never understood why people say this. There are loads of different kayfabe ways to explain why there are various foreign objects under the ring, such as the company always keeps a choice of weapons under the ring in case they need to announce a hardcore match/match that needs different foreign objects, or perhaps a wrestler put it there/paid an official to put it there before the show started etc. You could even argue in kayfabe terms that it's simply a hangover from the attitude era when weapon use was widespread and the company hasn't changed the rules on what's allowed to be stored under the ring.

Out of anything in the world of wrestling logic, I find this is as easy to explain as any.

Speaking of Big Dave, has there ever been a proper Batista vs Lesnar match? They should do that for Wrestlemania.

It's a great idea for FSM to offer a free download of this month's issue. I hope there'll be a few former readers of PS and the WWE mag who'll give the trial issue a go. I myself haven't read either of the other two magazines for quite some time now but it's a shame to think they're stopping. I don't think wrestling fans like change.

They brought 6 sides back.

So they have. I had no idea.

Is the six sided ring still being used

No, Hogan got rid of that a couple of weeks after he took over. According to Yahoo answers, it was an "example of hogan not being able to let go of traditional ways and not understanding anything about moving into a different direction or being innovative."

In kayfabe and on-screen terms, what was the first move that kicked off WCW and ECW's invasion on the WWF? I assume it was a wrestler run-in, but who was it? Thanks.

 

 

 

Would you consider someone who uses flouride free toothpaste, not through any allergy or sensitivity but because of things they have read online on various sites, to be a tin foiler out of interest?

 

 

 

Not at all. I would want to check the evidence myself before jumping to that conclusion. However, insinuating that all dentists have impure intentions rings my alarm bells immediately.

 

Fair enough. I do believe it is more to do with indoctrination through how they are taught, but I still don't think that is any kind of justification when it is fairly common knowledge how toxic mercury is..

 

The fluoride thing always reminds me of those early Alex Shane articles in FSM where he'd talk about Nazi's putting fluoride in the water supplies and Triple H only climbing to the top of the ladder because of the logo on his trunks and its hidden subliminal messages.

I've yet to come across a seasoned conspiracy theorist who isn't a compete nut job. 

I think PBWFan thinks that if a name has been mentioned in a household, they then become a household name.

The thing with Billy Joel is, i always knew i was a fan, i just didnt realise it.  I borrowed a greatest hits album from a colleague 10 years ago because i wanted a copy of "River of Dreams", and upon listening to it realised at least a dozen other tracks on there i loved were actually Billy Joel songs, speaks volumes about how versatile a performer he's been over the years.

 

I just find i can immediately identify with almost every single song as if i wrote them about my own experiences, in that way his music resonates with me unlike any other artist.  Sure, there's lots of artists i enjoy listening to because their music sounds good, but no one touches me time and time again like Billy, i even enjoy his song about fishing for fuck sake.

I agree with this entirely.

I only caught the last five minutes or so of that BBC 4 documentary, hopefully it's still on the iPlayer. There's been some great music documentaries on BBC4, there's one above The Eagles that's always repeated which is worth watching too.

Thanks. I'm not in any rush to have a Benoit box set day but when I subscribe to the network I'd have been annoyed if his matches had been left out, much in the same way I found them blurring the scratch WWF logo annoying.

Does the network show the clips in black and white where wrestlers are bleeding? Also, to what extent has Chris Benoit been erased from the history books on the network? Are his matches missing from the cards he appeared on?

 

I dont know how to make links read anything other than the URL on the new boar,but i've yet to find a Billy Joel song that's anything less than spectacular, and this bad boy is no different.

 

Pressure..

Can't tell you how much it sticks in my throat that Richie Freebird has seen him live and I havent.  Green as fuck i tell ya.

 

I really like that song, it's my favourite Billy Joel song, it should be considered one of his classics but I don't think it is.

 

You're a good man, Matrix. I'd somehow never heard 'Vienna' by him until very recently and it's gone straight up there with some of my favourite songs ever. I really need to discover more Billy Joel songs (I'd struggle to name ten of his tracks).

Out of anyone from the past decade or so in WWE, I'd say MVP was as big a waste of opportunity as anybody not called Chris Masters. On that basis, I'd like to see him given another run.

By all accounts Lashley has come on leaps and bounds recently so him returning could be something to look forward to.

I'd like to see a Bully Ray return but as Ian said, that looks very unlikely. The same goes for Angle. Personally, I can take or leave Jeff Hardy but there'd be no harm in him returning so long as he's cleaned himself up.

AJ Styles and Samoa Joe are the interesting ones. If they're ever going to make a name for themselves in WWE then it's now or never. As much as I like Roode, Storm and Aries, I don't think any of them have what it would take to make a real difference in WWE. There was a time when I thought that Roode was the next big thing but it's not a view I hold any longer.

Ghost or fishing line?

I've heard the term working with a broomstick before, but working with a bus-stop sign is probably going too far.

Apparently Spike wants to keep wrestling on the network. They just dont want TNA. They've apparently spoke to two groups.

 

Might not even be active promotions. It might be a case that someone has said "if there's a timeslot available, we can get something together". The hardest problem in starting up is getting a timeslot on a network. If there is one up for grabs, there's surely someone out there.

Do you have any more info on why exactly Spike want rid of TNA? The Russo story is an obvious excuse for them to throw them off the air but there must be more to it. Were they expecting the ratings to grow more than they have? Even if they got ROH or GWF then it would take a while for them to build up a million viewers a week for the show or whatever the precise number is. Do they just think there's too much stigma attached to the TNA brand now? 

You are indeed welcome to post pet pics in this thread. However, we do actually have a whole thread just for that

 

Nice pooch, btw!

Thanks, man! I thought I'd seen a thread like that. 

Can somebody clear this up for me? - What's the deal with the names TNA and IMPACT? You go on their site and you're directed to impactwrestling.com but there's a TNA logo at the top of the screen. It just seems like an awful mess where they're neither here nor there with their name.

Are we allowed to post pictures of our pets in here? Here's my cocker spaniel on the sofa. I had no idea just how affectionate spaniels were until we got him.

It takes something special for me to watch wrestling outside of Wrestlemania season but Cena has me sold on Summerslam. I can't remember the last time I saw Heyman outshined by somebody on a microphone.

Remember when Dixie laughed off those 'Fire Russo' chants? She deserves putting through a table.
