fye

I personally enjoyed the documentary and the matches, it wasn't historically accurate but I enjoyed it all the same, I can see why others didn't though especially if they are bothered by the inaccuracies

I bet he has one of those celebrity facebook accounts too

I can see where Haraga is coming from, I haven't seen a lot of his stuff north of the border but he has had straight up matches for me south of the border and they are two of the best non-hardcore matches I have seen him have in years. Maybe I'm biased as Colin and I go back a few years and I have always had time for the bloke but I always speak as I find and from what I have seen he hasn't had a bad year at all and the inclusion feels more like what people have thought over the years rather than the last 12 months

that belt is fucking disgusting, I know they say living loud or some shit like that but that belt is the loudest thing in wrestling by a country mile, absolutely awful

did Samoa Joe's kidnapping ever get explained?

pretty sure it was No Way Out 2001 Richie

I dont know Rainz well and havent seen him work much either but he comes across as a legit nice guy and was very respectful to me when we met, I think the list is a case of hilarity when idiots like Surf are being pummelled on here but some good people seem to get caught up in it all. I am not saying the list is a bad idea cos if voted right I think it highlights who the stinkers are and why folk should keep away from their work - Surf, Petey, etc

from the few times I saw Rainz he didnt look bad at all and gooner's comments above reflect him well, but its like all these lists, if enough people vote for you - good or bad - youre going to be on it and its out of your hands

I hope Rainz doesnt quit and gets over this but I honestly think these lists are 99% enjoyable and 1% disheartening, theyre also 100% controversial but what on here isnt

what decent British Wrestling websites are there, for news and cards and things like that. I'm sure there is more to the internet's BritWres community than the UK Wrestling Events page on here

Sort of continuing the Jericho theme, was the Money in the Bank match actually his idea? Normally I'd have said it was part of the storyline, but the fact they often refer to it when MITB comes up-something that doesn't usually happen with continuity in wrestling makes me suggest it might have been.

 

Plus, as I normally only watch WWE Experience and the odd PPV I'm not too clued up on the current happenings. Roughly when was the last time he won a match with the walls of jericho? I know the codebreaker has been his main finisher since his return, but I swear he used to win matches with it since he came back in 2007. But every time now it seems to be a 'momentum-turning' move.

 

Thanks in advance

not sure on the MITB thing but to maybe help answer the Walls part of the question, his lack of tap out victories are probably due to his heel alignment now whereas when he is a babyface he tends to win much more by tap out, that's my take on it anyway

I believe Rude was unhappy carrying Warrior and getting less money than Warrior for the privilege, not certain but definitely read that years ago

Can anyone confirm whether Surf Graffiti can run the ropes yet? I know he couldn't a year or two ago.

Has he been around that long? I saw him on a show a few months back and figured it was his first match, oh no

Watching an old WWF show from 1988, and Superstar Graham on commentary says that

when I commentate(d) on UK shows I never want to know the results but sometimes I had to be told things in advance. If it could be avoided though I never wanted to know

WWE stuff does sound over rehearsed nowadays more than ever though

Was just having a gander at William Regals twitter and he says something about Dave Taylor being one of the best journeyman wrestlers ever. So my question is this: What exactly is a journeyman wrestler?

 

My understanding is a journey man is a wrestler (or, indeed, any kind of sportsman) who has plied his trade all over the world in various countries and on numerous continents.

in football terms a journeyman would be your Craig Bellamy / Nic anelka type, 10 clubs in 12 years, that kind of thing

I think now that he is baby face they are trying to oversell the largest athlete in the world tag and think referring to him as The Giant way too much will work. Having dais that, I still prefer Giant to Big Show, I never felt that name fit him and after more than 11 years maybe they have realised

I remember Jarrett trading the IC strap with Edge pointlessly the night before a pay per view in 99, I say pointless as Jarrett was champ on the Raw going in, they showed footage of Edge winning it and coming to ringside with it on the PPV (July-ish) and Jarrett left with the belt, strange change if you ask me

Are the TNA 2004/2005 PPVs any good? Are they worth a tenner?

 

Of course they're worth a tenner. Decent period in TNA history, even if Jarrett was main-eventing far too often.

I heard that the first Victory Road was pretty good

 

New question

 

Are TNA really pulling Doug Williams indy bookings and making him strictly exclusive to themselves

Im pretty sure Doug can only be booked through TNA in a few months, Im sure he will still be available but probably at a silly price

I am absolutely devastated by this and I'm fighting back the tears as I type thismy thoughts & prayers go out to Benoit and his family's friends, family and loved onesanother truly great loss at a ridiculously young age
