Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted February 11, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2013 That's one of the things that's great about Batista, he got it too. Carried himself like a total star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsClobberingTime Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Does every discussion on here revert back to "wrestlers these days eh? What a bunch of poofs"? Â It broke my heart when I first read that Wrestlers these days play video games instead of going out on the piss and fucking 3 rats at a time. It's true. Â Same with most footballers these days too. Bunch of overpaid pussies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 11, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) except for Iuns points about framing the belts, pretty sure Hart, Hogan and Rock all did that too mainly because they're massive marks for themselves (Hogan and Hart at least). They actually did something in wrestling. They have achievements decorating their house. It wasn't like they were hanging the Smackdown tag belts on their wall for all to see when they were doing jobs on Saturday Morning Slam. And all of Hogan and Hart's belts were given to them by the promoters. Hogan has a bunch of originals in his house. Hogan gave his original 87 WWF belt away to some kid on the radio a few years back. Its unsettling that you hear about them buying their belts from the wrestling superstore online. They actually pay money for them. Â There's a massive difference between taking your character seriously and being a mark for yourself. Hogan, Hart and Rock believed in their characters. And belieivng in their characters is what made them huge stars. Their level of commitment to their act was commendable and they got their rewards. They should be proud of what they did in wrestling.

Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted February 11, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2013 Fair enough, I totally misinterpreted you first time around, as I agree with all of that. Especially the last part. Didn't realise some were buying versions of the belts, who's done that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 11, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2013 Zack Ryder's the most obvious one, buying at least two versions of the Internet championship (not official, I know, but still marky). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 11, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2013 Pretty decent list. The Batista write up is very homoerotic. WWE's Most Dateable Superstars & Divas Valentine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bully Busick Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I alwas used to think she looked well skanky when she first started wrestling but god knows what it is,since the Summerslam promo vids id say Ive looked at her differently and she is a good looking girl  Your right thought,WWE have a lot more Divas that could have taken her place on that list  Joey Styles slipping her One?

UK Kat Von D Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 CM Punk is one of the only current guys who seems to believe in his gimmick like guys from the past did. Its a huge part of his current success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgi86 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yet another change in TNA: Â For the first time, the TNA Lockdown PPV will not be an all Steel Cage match PPV. The plan going forward is to have the top matches inside the cage but to have traditional style undercard matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 12, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2013 Much like a WWE gimmick PPV, then. I have never watched a Lockdown PPV before, does it get a bit overkill with all the cage matches? If so, good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 12, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2013 They're very hit-and-miss. They've had some absolute crackers, some crap, and some absolute headfucks - the Roode/Storm one where Storm lost what was built up as a title match AND a blow-off IN HIS HOME TOWN was ridiculous. The Angle/Joe one with the MMA-style build-up was superb, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Despite being a concept that sounds like overkill, often it's been their best PPV of the year outside the big 2. Â As Carbomb says though, there's been some stinkers so I think it's more a case of being good in spite of the gimmick. 2 main cage matches is enough I reckon.
