children of bodom Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I`m watching the best of nitro vol 1 disc 3 and its sting vs ddp. Â There seems to be something wrong with stings boots. (I wasn't watching wcw at this time I only got into wcw in their last) it looks like he has too cast on, but he seems to be moving OK. Anyone know what was up?

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 26, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted April 26, 2013 Just a cool little add on I imagine. He wore them for a canny while in 99. Sting's always been a bit suspect on what looks good and what doesn't. At least he isn't wearing a t-shirt in that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) Can you imagine? Â The Raw after Wrestlemania, Rock announced as the first inductee into the Hall of Fame. Out he pops, cuts a tear-y promo saying that he's achieved more than he ever thought he would, and in his Indian summer he was lucky enough to headline the biggest Wrestlemania of all time and win another WWE title, and as much as he loves the WWE universe, it's with a heavy heart that he must retire. Â Glass smashes. Â Out rolls Austin, saying that The Rock can't retire until they have one more dance. Their careers ran parallel and now, they'll retire in parallel, but first, Austin wants to give Rock the chance to break even at mania. Â I mean the match would likely be balls, and makes little sense, but they could cover the first problem by doing an archetypal Rock/Austin brawl to cut corners and I'm not sure anyone would give a cock about the second. Â A Wrestlemania 30 with a bill of Austin/Rock; Cena/Taker; Batista/Lesnar (chuck a returning Angle against Punk, to complete this journey into fantasy orgasm land) would blow everything away, I reckon.

If that were to happen, Austin shouldn't say a word during first meeting. He won't need to. Just stand in the ring, stare at The Rock, milk the crowd of every ounce of emotion they have and then stunner. Â Wrestlemania buyrate record already broken before he can say a word.

TheShowOff Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Austin should come back saying his films are better than the Rock's - this should be the centre of the feud. His actual return should be sneaking up behind Rock on Raw and hitting him in the back of the head with the straight to DVD classic, Damage.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 27, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) On in wrestling can fans be so amazed by seeing a bloke wearing jeans instead of a long studded cloak, but that was indeed great. Undertaker has looked great the last couple of weeks. Hopefully he'll be back for SummerSlam. He looks like he's got a shitload left in the tank. He should be a semi-regular this year. He cant take the risk of missing next years like he almost did this year. I get that it must be refreshing to sit around getting fat and not working out for a year, but its the big one next year.

ClassicsGuy Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Many people already know this, or perhaps were aware of this, but just thought I'd mention it. Â In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour website (April 16th), CM Punk referred to Amy 'Lita' Dumas as his 'girlfriend'. He didn't name her outright, but he said he attended the UFC show on April 13th with his girlfriend to celebrate her birthday. Lita was sat next to him at that show (and accompanies him everywhere these days, including being his date at the HOF ceremony the past 2 years), and Lita's birthday is April 14th, so there you go. Â Previously he's always publicly referred to Lita as 'just a really good friend'. Edited April 28, 2013 by ClassicsGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 28, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Sir Mo's birthday is on the 13th. Maybe he was in town for that. Maybe calling Mo "girlfriend" is some kind of black culture reference. Edited April 28, 2013 by IANdrewDiceClay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â In his Raw and Smackdown matches he seemed to work really safely and not take any big bumps or do anything so crazy so he could probably hold up on a part time schedule for the next year. I think those matches with HBK and HHH messed him up pretty badly but his safe match with Punk probably showed him that by working a safer style he probably can go for a bit longer. He's such a master at working the crowd he's one of the few who can get away with doing very little in the ring. His work with The Shield is doing wonders for them, Taker is one of the few who could really get some of the new guys over too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â He's special because he works once or twice a year. His body is wrecked and he's 48. I hope he doesn't work Summerslam. No reason why he can't visit a gym regularly and watch his diet whilst he's not on tv so that he doesn't get fat. He's too old and too beat up to be 'semi-regular'. The more he appears, the less special he will be. Edited April 28, 2013 by ClassicsGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOLSports7: For the first time ever, Vince McMahon is affording fans the opportunity to ask him direc AOLSports7: tly AOLSports7: And now, ladies and gentlemen ... Vince McMahon! VinceMcM: Hello, World Wrestling Federation fans, and welcome to the World Wrestling VinceMcM: Federation Online. It is with great honor and privilege that I take this VinceMcM: opportunity to answer your questions here tonight. VinceMcM: As I have stated many times before, the fans of the World Wrestling VinceMcM: Federation are the MOST loyal fans in the world. Without you, VinceMcM: there would be no "us." So without further ado, let the Cyberspace Chat begin! Question: What happened to Double J and The Roadie? VinceMcM: They breached their contract. VinceMcM: We still may be able to resolve the issues, however. Question: why did you ban WCW from running a house show at MSG earlier on. VinceMcM: It's not within my power to ban WCW from playing Madison Square Garden. Question: vince what were you thinking of when you created the golddust character VinceMcM: I hadn't had any sleep for 48 hours... VinceMcM: and had extra doses of caffeine, and it came to me in a vision. VinceMcM: Gold is also one of my favorite colors. Question: Will there be any new wrestlers, besides Gold Dust, cpoming to the WWF within the coming Question: months. VinceMcM: There are always new superstars coming in and out of the WWF at all times. VinceMcM: It's important that our fans receive a constant flow of new performers at all times. Question: Mr. McMahon: Have you ever talked to Ted Turner about a supercard with WWF and WCW Question: wrestlers, wrestling each other? You could call it WrestleFest VinceMcM: No, I've never talked to Ted Turner about a super card, but Bill Shaw has talked about it with me. VinceMcM: In addition, Mr. Shaw saidwould be a moron if I did not accept his invitation. VinceMcM: Since that time, I often sit in the corner with a dunce hat on babbling to myself. Question: Vince, have you thought of going "international" with the WWF? VinceMcM: Where do you live? VinceMcM: We often mention of WWF live events all over the world. We are truly global in nature. VinceMcM: However, we also play local neighborhood clubs. VinceMcM: We're in over 85 countries, in eight different languages. VinceMcM: Check in our online area for more information. VinceMcM: Even fans in Hoboken understand what the World Wrestling Federation is all about. VinceMcM: For those of you who don't know, Hoboken is in Lithuania. Question: Vince,first I have to say GREAT job! WWF is the BEST! now my question, how do you feel Question: about Ted turner and the WCW... do you think Monday Night Nitro will hurt ot help the WWF? VinceMcM: That's a good question. VinceMcM: I really don't have an answer. VinceMcM: I question the motives of those at WCW who made this decision. VinceMcM: It's obvious that those at WCW are attempting to hurt the WWF and its fans. VinceMcM: They are not content on attempting to help themselves but rather hurt a competitor.l VinceMcM: A very poor marketing philosophy, in my view. VinceMcM: However, we always welcome comparisons. VinceMcM: We don't wish to be considered in the same category as the WCW in many respects. Question: What role does Bill Watts play in the WWF now stinks now in the wwf? VinceMcM: Bill Watts has just joined our creative staff and his first task is to set up the wrestling ring VinceMcM: in Madison Square Garden and to make sure the ring ropes are tight at all times. VinceMcM: Wow. AOLSports7: Question: Why don't we have a deal with the Japanese Federation? VinceMcM: We have an unofficial working agreement with Mr. Tenryu. VinceMcM: However, since our marketing philosophy would include performing live events in all countries, VinceMcM: including Japan, I would suggest that the Japanese promotions would not look forward to a working VinceMcM: agreement for that reason. VinceMcM: Nonetheless, I'm open for discussion. Question: How come Monday Night Raw isn't in the Manhattan Center anymore? VinceMcM: Geographic proximity is extremely important for all of our remote television venues. Question: How do you intend to get the popularity of wrestling to the level it was in the early and Question: mid 80's? VinceMcM: I'm not concerned with the popularity of wrestling, I'm only concerned with the popularity of the VinceMcM: WWF. THere is a huge philosophical difference in the standard of ethics and non-violent action on VinceMcM: television as well as marketing philosphy between anything we do in the WWF and anything we do in VinceMcM: the broad stroke category of what pro wrestling is. Question: VINCE, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR VinceMcM: The Ultimate Warrior was left heard of baying at the moon, at the desert at approximately 3:30am VinceMcM: Rumor has it that he subsequently grew hair all over his face and became the Wolfman. VinceMcM: As far as I know, the Warrior is still pumping iron in Arizona. Question: Vince: when are we going to see Dustin, Al Snow and Douglas actually WRESTLING! VinceMcM: These are three stellar new WWF superstars that can't get to the ring fast enough, as far as I am VinceMcM: concerned. The answer is as quickly as possible. Question: VINCE, DID YOU ENJOY THE CROWD AT WORCESTER FOR RAW LAST WEEK? VinceMcM: I enjoyed the crowd at Worcester immensely. I especially enjoyed the chants, that I heard, VinceMcM: loud and clear. Especially, "Kill the clown." VinceMcM: I always enjoy fan interaction at any level, but especially at a LIVE WWF event. AOLSports7: Question: What is the Raw Main Event against Nitro on Sept. 11 VinceMcM: Psycho Sid will meet the winner of the latter match. VinceMcM: At Summerslam. Ladder match - sorry. VinceMcM: Between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon. VinceMcM: Plus other superstars to be announced. Question: WHY ISN'T THERE A TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH AT SUMMER SLAM VinceMcM: This is the rice-eating season for Yoko Zuna. VinceMcM: However, Owen Hart is ready willing, and able to perform at Summerslam and will actually be online VinceMcM: with AOL as well as many other superstars during and after the Summerslam event. AOLSports7: Question:Personally, which do you think was the most memorable PPV event in WWF history? VinceMcM: I don't have any one most memorable PPV event. Clearly the match in London at Wembley Stadium VinceMcM: with Bret Hart and the British Bulldog stands out as one of the greatest. I would like to think, VinceMcM: however, that my most memorable, more importantly, the fans' most memorable, PPV event is yet to come. AOLSports7: Question: Do you feel a big loss, losing Hulk Hogan to WCW? VinceMcM: As far as Hulk Hogan is concerned, as a youngster, my mother told me VinceMcM: that if you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all. VinceMcM: In this case, silence is golden. Question: Where do you recruit most of your new talent from? VinceMcM: Generally speaking, new WWF superstars come from all areas. VinceMcM: Such as Mars, Pluto, and on occasion, Uranus. Question: What wrestlers will be online in the future VinceMcM: We'll put on whomever you'd like to see. Any suggestions are appreciated. VinceMcM: At some point, all WWF superstars will be online with AOL. VinceMcM: Including Barry Didinsky. Question: How come there are never any matches that are 'good guy' vs. 'good guy' and visa-versa? VinceMcM: Razor vs Shawn are two notable stellar performers who would qualify for that. VinceMcM: I would suggest that with the interim presidency of Gorilla Monsoon, VinceMcM: and a fired-up creative staff, that you're likely to see and hear about matches that you thought VinceMcM: would never take place. Question: The WWF desperately needs more tag team talent-what can we expect in the near future? VinceMcM: Who knows who is going to team up in the future here in the WWF? VinceMcM: Howard Finkel is looking for a new tag-team partner. VinceMcM: Anyone out there who would like to team up with Howard, please let us know. VinceMcM: This excludes you, Harvey Whippleman, 'cause I know you're online. Question: Hi Vince, I think you put out a quality product. I've been following wrestling for 30 Question: years. What has been the biggest change you have seen as CEO of Titan? VinceMcM: I think the biggest changes are yet to come in the WWF. VinceMcM: New marketing techniques, new vistas, new talent, new attitude, new generation VinceMcM: etc. Question: Vince, what do you think about Andre the Giant's "son"?? VinceMcM: Andre the Giant never had a son. VinceMcM: This just seems to be one more fraud perpetuated by the WCW. VinceMcM: Shamelessly. Question: Waylon Mercy(Danny Spivey) is one of the most popular wrestlers discussed on the Net. What Question: are your plans for him? VinceMcM: Big plans, if you know what I mean. ; ) Question: Hi Vince ! What do u think about The British Bulldog doing that to Diesel ? VinceMcM: I would suggest that the British Bulldog must be terribly frustrated over the fact that he VinceMcM: never, ever received an opportunity to become World Wrestling Federation champion. VinceMcM: However, we all will find out hopefully soon, from the British Bulldog or from Jim Cornett, VinceMcM: as far as their explanation is concerned. Stay tuned. VinceMcM: and stay logged online. Question: Do you feel that elements that make ECW a succesful TV program and live event to attend Question: could be incorparated into WWF's style? What do you think of ECW's style in general? VinceMcM: I believe the ECW style in general is deplorable, where their use of violence is concerned. VinceMcM: That's not to say that some things aren't done well at ECW, and not that the WWF could learn from VinceMcM: everyone, but the WWF deplores violence that is typical of ECW. Question: can a wrestler hold two titles at once? VinceMcM: Yes. That has happened on several occasions. VinceMcM: The last of which I believe was Diesel, who was Intecontinental and Tag Team Champion. VinceMcM: This, however, has occurred on numerous occasions at the WWF. AOLSports7: Question: Is Shawn a better athlete than Hitman Hart? VinceMcM: It would all depend on how you would classify someone as an athlete. VinceMcM: They are both extraordinary in every respect and both individuals typify the direction in which VinceMcM: the WWF is moving. Question: Vince, during your career, who have been the wrestlers that you have enjoyed solid working Question: relationships with, and why? VinceMcM: Andre the Giant, because he always did what he wanted. VinceMcM: Big Daddy Cool Diesel - because he's so eager to learn and to please. VinceMcM: and to interact with you WWF fans. VinceMcM: Bret Hart because he's Bret Hart - and there have been many others. Question: Vince, the greatest promoter of ALL time....I ordered the SummerSlam Package from Travel Question: Strategies & I would like to know if you will be on the Boat Cruise or at the Hyaat Regency Question: because I really would like to meet you!!! VinceMcM: I am scheduled to be at the tug of war VinceMcM: which means that I'm likely to be in the water in Pittsburgh. VinceMcM: I'm not sure if it's the Allegheny, the Monangahela, and the Ohio VinceMcM: It doesn't matter, I can swim. VinceMcM: I'm looking forward to seeing and interacting with as many WWF fans as possible. Question: one straight out question Is Wrestling real or fake? VinceMcM: Where have you been? VinceMcM: Titan Sports was the first promotional organization that stated that we were not a traditional sport, VinceMcM: in the sense of baseball, football, etc. but that our athletes are the most extraordinarily talented VinceMcM: in the world today. VinceMcM: We in the WWF coined the phrase "Sports entertainment" VinceMcM: We are a hybrid of Hollywood, sports, Broadway, and Mickey Mouse. VinceMcM: Some combination, huh? AOLSports7: Question: Do you laugh when WCW copies the WWF of the 80's? VinceMcM: I don't often have an opportunity to watch much of the WCW product. VinceMcM: When I do, it does seem as though they are attempting to reinvent the wheel. VinceMcM: The reason for the pause at this moment, is that I have just nodded off. VinceMcM: I turn, 50 years old on Thursday. VinceMcM: Senility is setting in. VinceMcM: : ) Question: On what terms did you and Savage leave on VinceMcM: I've had no communication whatsoever with Randy Savage since he elected to leave the WWF. VinceMcM: I do, however, believe that it was a very poor business decision on Mr. Savage's part. Question: Mr. McMahon- What is the status of Lex Luger in the WWF? We have heard many reports that Question: he has left, and then some conflicting reports to that. VinceMcM: Lex Luger is currently negotiating a new contract with the WWF. AOLSports7: Question: Is it true that Luger, Atom Bomb and Owen Hart quit recently?? VinceMcM: Of the three individuals mentioned, Adam Bomb apparently has elected to stay at home VinceMcM: and support his fiance. VinceMcM: in opening a chiropractic business. VinceMcM: The other two remain in good standing in the WWF. VinceMcM: Nr. Bomb's desire apparently has fizzled. Question: Will you ever induct any past champions into the Hall Of Fame? VinceMcM: Yes. Regardless of a political non-affiliation with the WWf, we intend to honor all those individuals VinceMcM: who have made stellar contributions to the WWF. VinceMcM: We just honored Pedro Morales, even though he is affiliated with WCW. VinceMcM: And we intend to honor in the future Bruno Samartino and other former champions who VinceMcM: contributed greatly to the success of the WWF in the past. AOLSports7: Question: Do any of the wrestlers have an online account so we could send them questions? VinceMcM: They don't yet. VinceMcM: But they certainly will in the future. Keep checking Keyword WWF for the best in wrestlint VinceMcM: online. Question: Vince, I am a long time fan of Classy Freddie Blassie. I heard that he had some health Question: problems. How is he doing? VinceMcM: Freddy is doing great. Thanks for asking. He's one of my all-time favorites as well. VinceMcM: He recently underwent triple bypass surgery and was driving the doctors and nurses up the wall by the VinceMcM: time he left the hospital. Same old Freddy. Question: What are the details of the new Fall season. Aree you going to be on Fox every sunday Question: after football? Or just specials every so often? VinceMcM: More information will be forthcoming about the new fall season, including when Wrestlemania the VinceMcM: special will air on the Fox network. VinceMcM: More information will be forthcoming on the new formats for current WWF titles, such as Action VinceMcM: Zone, Raw, and Superstars. VinceMcM: Also check the WWF Events Calendar online. Question: Will we see a regular WWF area on AOL soon? VinceMcM: Yes, you will see much more detailed information on WWF in the middle of September. VinceMcM: We've already seen a lot of action in our message boards today - thank you for your participation. VinceMcM: We are looking forward to hearing from you about what you would like to see in this area. Question: Vince, when will Shawn Michaels get a World Title shot? VinceMcM: Shawn Michaels faced the then WWF champion at Wrestlemania XI in Hartford last April the 2nd VinceMcM: this match will be seen again, which was mentioned before, during Wrestlemania the Special on the VinceMcM: Fox network. Question: Vince, any plans to hold more "Fanfests" at other events besides WM?...It was Superb!!! VinceMcM: Not at this juncture. However, we're always looking for new ways to please our fans. VinceMcM: I have time for one more question... Question: You seem to be in pretty good shape; have you tried wrestling yourself? VinceMcM: Since I turn 50 on Thursday, perhaps my age would be more suitable for wrestling in the WCW VinceMcM: as opposed to the WWF. VinceMcM: However, seriously, I have an amateur background VinceMcM: not a professional one. I've never been big enough or bad enough to be a WWF superstar. VinceMcM: Thank you, everyone, for coming. This was great - I really enjoyed it and I will be back. VinceMcM: Check the WWF area to see our coverage of SummerSlam - we'll be live from Pittsburgh VinceMcM: with all your favorites. Question: Vince, do you get any time to yourself? VinceMcM: I spend most of my time doing what I enjoy most, which is participating in WWF activities. VinceMcM: One way or another. AOLSports7: We'd like to thank you very much for checking into AOLSports7: Vince McMahon live on America Online. VinceMcM: Who is Beth and why does she want me to stop talking? Let's do this again. I've enjoyed it VinceMcM: immensely. OnlineHost: Copyright 1995 America Online, Inc. All Rights : Reserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
