Vamp Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I thought Atlantis might be held back from getting in because of his big mask match not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted November 7, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 Ventura was among the biggest drops, from 59% to 39%. That's likely because they changed the voting in the non-wrestler category, which is totally separate from the main vote. Before you could vote for as many or as few non-wrestlers as you like, while this year it was a maximum of 5 non-wrestlers. ("Non-wrestler" meaning you are being considered mainly for a non-wrestling role, even if you did wrestle.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 7, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 7, 2013 60%, but you don't have to vote in every category, which is a good way of doing it. Â Dick Murdoch didn't get in again. Fuck the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 8, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 Adrian Street has made the front page of my local weekly newspaper this week The Gwent Gazette (Street is a local boy). It's a bit of a weird story because the headline reports of the time Street beat up Jimmy Saville, but from reading the article its basically described that Street simply beat him in a worked match..Kayfabe is alive in South Wales.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 9, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Titties has been released. SURPRISING WWE NXT RELEASE by Mike Johnson @ 12:07 AM on 11/9/2013 Â WWE released NXT star Kassius Ohno, aka Chris Hero, who has worked in main event level positions for Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling NOAH, CHIKARA, IWA Mid-South and CZW, among other promotions all over the world, PWInsider.com has confirmed. According to multiple sources, Ohno was released by WWE officials while waiting to begin training Friday morning at the Performance Center. He had just returned to WWE NXT after being held off of TV for some time. What will turn out to be his final appearance, a loss to The Wyatt Family's Luke Harper, aired this past Wednesday on NXT. He had been signed to WWE developmental in 2012. Â Ohno, a Dayton, Ohio native, broke into the business in 1998 and was trained by a slew of excellent trainers, including Les Thatcher and Dory Funk Jr. Similar to the career path that Daniel Bryan took, he traveled the world, most notable Germany, England and Australia, learning all sorts of different styles and adding them to his in-ring repertoire. I've always likened him to a young Barry Windham because of his tall frame and working ability. Â Like a lot of other independent stars of the early 2000s, Hero made his name with a lot of travel, not just internationally but all over the United States, driving with a crew that included Antonio Cesaro (then Claudio Castagnoli) and the late Larry Sweeney and worked pretty much everywhere. He clicked in just about every major independent promotion of the era. Â Hero originally built his name in Ian Rotten's IWA Mid-South, where he ended up having a great feud with CM Punk (as recounted on Punk's Best in the World DVD documentary) as well as a long run in CHIKARA, where he was a top name there as well as one half of the Kings of Wrestling tag team with Cesaro. He soon made his way to CZW, where he worked as a top heel there and began working regularly for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla in California as well. Â The one promotion he wasn't getting booked for was Ring of Honor, which was considered the top independent promotion in the landscape, so when he showed up as a mystery opponent representing CZW against then-ROH champion Bryan Danielson (aka Daniel Bryan), it was a huge, legitimate shock for that audience and helped kick off a CZW vs. ROH feud that drew great numbers for ROH as well as an audience that was as legitimately split down the middle as a New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys game. Â Hero morphed into a regular member of the ROH roster, capturing their Tag belts with Cesaro, who he held a number of other tag straps with. He began training and wrestling for Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan and did well there, including having the mate Mitsuharu Misawa "gift him" the roaring elbow, which Hero used even in WWE as a finish. Â When Hero was signed in 2012, it seemed like just a matter of time before he joined Punk, Bryan and others on the main roster, but for some reason - whether it be politics or mistakes made, he never made it to the main roster. I don't even believe he was sent on the road for dark matches, which boggled my mind. His work in the ring was good. He had obviously, based on his last TV appearances, worked on his physique. He had a decent speaking ability and his charisma always sort of reminded me a quiet version of a young Mick Foley. As a heel, he portrayed a great d***. He knew all sorts of different styles and honestly, should have been training the same talents he was instead training with in the Performance Center. All the elements were there, except, apparently, WWE didn't see it. Â Note from Mike: This release will go down, to me, as one of those moments in history where you wonder what the hell went wrong, and how WWE couldn't see the potential in someone just about every independent promotion in the world will be scrambling to book once they read this. This is absolutely going to be a case where this, long term, will be WWE's loss. Â Mike Johnson's arse licking in this article is shocking. He's compared Chris Hero to a young Barry Windham and a young Mick Foley, presumably with a straight face. It wasn't much of a surprise and with the amount of talent they have in developmental, its not hard to see why they would release him after their many attempts to get him to not look like shit. At least Chris Harris had a tan. If they'd have released Adrian Neville that would have been surprising and stupid. This is just one chance to many blown from him.
