    The other thing with Lesnar in AEW is how do you present him without Heyman? 

    I don't recall him being the best of promo guys, but would anybody in AEW be able to talk him up and get him over the same way Paul E did? 

    Have Lance Archer lose a couple of title shots and Jake gets frustrated so he unveils Brock who obliterates Archer.

    Has this independent contractor bollocks ever been tested out in court? I'm sure that US employment laws are way more heavily skewed in favour of the employer than most European countries, but still.... 

    some wrestlers headed by Raven tried it around 2009 but a new bill was put forward last year on California which tightens down the description of "Independant contractor"

    I dont know if that's been passed but if it was it was judged to make it very hard for WWE to claim that workers were indpendant.

    If that’s the criteria then based on the books I’ve read the answer is pretty obvious, brother. Only one dude I know can shoot wrestle an Olympian and pin him for real in a work gone wrong without breaking a sweat or anyone figuring out it became a shoot for two decades until his book comes out, brother.

    True but Dynamite coudl call Hulk Terry because he knew Hulk woudlnt give him any bother brother

    Vince isn't a bad answer. I can imagine him being beaten an inch from death and still standing back up to finish a script about someone farting

    Ah but if Vince was on top you could just light a cigarette or sneeze at him and he'd be distracted enough to floor him

    Is that actually any good? It looks like it could be a laugh but could also be dog shit. It's also got Rosemary in it too, before she was Rosemary. 

    it is proper "so bad its good" territory. I picked my copy up in poundland. Its something to stick on after a night out

  6. just watched the buried alive match for the first time in years. id forgotten how brutal for the time it is. Theres a spot where taker does what i can only describe as a over theback piledriver when he drops Mankind down on his head from behind.

    last 5 min is up there with the swamp match but the rest of it is a fantastic "hardcore" match.

    Wasting this idea was one of the weirdest things from that time - you'd have thought 'Absolutely cannot be fired' would be great for storylines. I'd have loved to see him flouting the rules as much as possible, before panicking as time starts running out on the year.

    There was no need for it to be the be-all and end-all of the angle, but after a string of shows where the heel hypes that he's got the champion's number, it would have made the build that one bit more intriguing by having the champ turn round the week before and shit up the heel by letting him know he knows his weakness. This was especially considering it played into the final spot of the match. Not a dealbreaker, but a waste of an extra bit of spice.

    It's all part of what looks like a slow turn. Instead of the open challenge biting him in the arse and getting more desperate to cling onto it, it looks like they're spinning it as him getting cocky and disrespectful from winning all the time. They made a big point, which I liked, of showing Arn pulling him to one side and yelling at him to get his head out of his ass. That combined with the emphasis on Tully in the crowd adds weight to the idea of an AEW Horsemen stable on the horizon.

    i thought Tully was there to scout Cody for Spears

  9. Just for a bit of fun. Looking for the best (or worst as my selection shows) films about or with wrestlers in them. Not looking for the well known/commercial ones (The Wrestler, any of the Hogan films, Expendables, Beyond the Mat, etc). More like the more obscure indie/B-Movie style. 

    My choice to kick it off. Love this film, Kevin Nash, Jimmy Hart and the Mummy (no, not the WCW one, this one can actually fight) among others in a brawl to find the greatest monster fighter.

    Nah, Benoit was wrestling a high impact style for 15 years prior to working for Vince.

     

    Vince knew there was wrestling outside the WWE then? Thats a bit like saying there was football before the Premier league started
