Paid Members Supremo Posted June 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2019 Watching Dustin's blade job at Double or Nothing, has there ever been a case where someone has legitimately passed out during a match because they gigged too deep and bled too much?

Eddie Guerrero nearly did after his crazy blade job vs JBL in 2004 - he didn't pass out during the match (I guess adrenaline got him through that one) but he went into shock backstage, apparently.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted June 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) Am I imagining this from some weird sex video in the late 90s? During Goldust's feud with Roddy Piper at Wrestlemania 12 (feud is quite underrated, I feel) did Goldust simulate giving a blow-job to Roddy Piper's bagpipes or am I imagining this? You'd think people would kick up shit about that at the time. I can't find anything on Youtube. Thanks. Edited June 15, 2019 by bAzTNM#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted June 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2019 Thanks for posting it. You can really see why they needed to tone down the Goldust character a bit in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted June 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 This has been rattling around in my brain for a couple of weeks, ‘cos a lot of the US sports podcasts I listen to have been covering the College World Series in baseball, which is a double-elimination tournament. That is to say, you have to lose twice to be eliminated. Then on NXT this weeks Regal deliberately announced the Breakout Tournament as a single-elimination tournament, as is often done when tournaments are talked about in wrestling. So... Has there ever been a notable double-elimination tournament in pro wrestling? I can’t think of one but there are ample opportunities for storytelling there.

CTXRussomark Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 WCW did a double elimination tournament for the vacant tag titles in 99. I remember it being pretty confusing at the time as I'd never heard of the concept before and WCW were notoriously bad at explaining things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of one but there are ample opportunities for storytelling there. There was a one-night, double elimination four-way match to crown the first TNA X-Division champion back in 2002 (AJ Styles vs Jerry Lynn vs Low Ki vs  Psicosis), where you had to be twinned twice to be eliminated. It sounds confusing but it worked really well, as it started out as a singles-match, then when you were pinned you had to leave the ring and the next guy entered. It carried on and went in a circle until it came down to a winner. Really worth re-watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 24, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2019 I could see a double elimination tournament being a tricky prospect to do outside of a one night situation with all the brackets to keep track of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted June 25, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 25, 2019 The chatter in the Fight Fest thread about the convenience of a PPV on Saturday evening had me wondering: why are WWE PPVs traditionally on a Sunday? Is it to avoid a possible clash with boxing? Taboo Tuesday excepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right into the mid 90s they were generally Monday and sometimes, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
