King Pitcos Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014  I started watching from 1989 through to 1997 and ten didn't start watching again until the early part of 2013. In that time I still watched old stuff but didn't keep upto speed with anything new until up until 2007 when I started buying magazines again and found this forum. This completely baffles me. You stopped watching wrestling right when it became popular again, and you spent a decade watching old Silver Vision videos while completely ignoring The Rock and Austin and co, not even looking at any results or odd bits? That's the strangest case of lapsednotlapsed fandom I've seen. Like a love affair with pre-Fergie Man United. Why did you get interested again in 2007 of all years?

Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted November 26, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2014 The name FU came from the F5 didn't it, when Cena and Lesnar had a mini feud, and Cena said it was his version of the move but better, as they start in the same position. This is correct. Lesnar was using the F5, so Cena The Rapper came up with 'FU' as a direct response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members herbie747 Posted November 26, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited)  Still odd to think that there's a lot of people that may have stopped watching, but still frequent wrestling boards. I find that strange as well, especially for ten years. Subscribing to Meltzer but not watching the TV is like not watching Eastenders and Corrie for a decade but still buying the soap magazines.   No, it's not weird. Firstly, I'm a lifelong fan - I'm interested and fascinated by the business. The backstage stuff & politics are more interesting than the current TV. And I still know who most of the characters & personalities are, because they mostly haven't changed. I like to know what's happening. And secondly, I closely follow MMA now, and the Observer has the best MMA coverage and analysis out there.

Paid Members extacy of farts Posted November 26, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2014 Just a heads up to anyone wanting Wrestlemania 30, it's in Amazon's Black Friday deals from 7:10pm.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted November 26, 2014 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thanks for that link, interesting reading. I had no idea Burchill's brother had been killed in Afghanistan. First I've heard of the WWE Talent Scholarship as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 It's a new thing. They say in that article he is one of the first. The 3rd I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Its only just been reported Tatsu has actually suffered a broken neck, though. This is a whole new discussion. Styles has now broke TWO MENS NECKS in the space of a few months. Quite the finisher. It literally finishes you off. Courtesy of Lionheart's Facebook page.... Â Lionheart I'll make the assumption he sees this somehow so please read and share... I'd like to openly address him... Firstly, I hope things are well for you and family... I wanted to write you because I feel it's important someone speak up in a more formal and diplomatic manner, as opposed to simply throwing abuse via anonymous social media ramblings... Here's the truth... The move is not directly dangerous... It's a simple move in principle... Arms and legs locked, you fall forward, guy looks up/back, easy... The Styles Clash 'on paper' is a fairly safe and basic process... That said, what is dangerous, is the instinctual reaction of your opponent... The wrestler taking the move, who like any wrestler taking any move, their safety and welfare is the priority... Without ANY injuries, it could be argued that the mechanics of the move are unnatural, and injury could easily happen due to the physical restrictions and instinctual habits of the recipient... The numbers now are surely too great to even call it an argument? I'm more than happy to be educated on my statistics, but there can be no move in wrestling history that carries more (documented) serious and potentially career threatening injuries than this... This, is what makes the move dangerous, whether indirectly or not... Thus far, more specifically the last 12 months, several performers, actual experienced athletes, have been injured with this, 2 of them now with broken necks... The question I want to put to you honestly is, what does it take? What will it actually take for you to stop using this move, at the very least on an independent level, with people not necessarily exposed to the experience of working with you and taking the move semi regularly... How honestly will you feel the day you receive the news that the man you just wrestled has a broken neck and will never walk again? Statistically, that day is coming... It is a mathematical certainty... I take this opportunity now, to openly and publicly beg you... Please, stop using the Styles Clash... You are unquestionably one of the greatest in ring performers of our time, I truly believe that... But the time is now, to put all pride, ego, blame aside, and acknowledge that irrelevant of fault, circumstance or anything else, the move is a direct risk and a danger to the safety and well being of your fellow wrestler... All the best. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Agree with every word there. It's another one of those things about wrestling. You have all these ladder bumps and vertibreakers and top rope piledrivers and lawnmowers and frying pans and exploding glass tables and yet it's one of the best wrestlers on the planet whose rather soft-looking move is causing more injuries than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apocrypha aside, surely it'd be the piledriver. Edited November 28, 2014 by PowerButchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted November 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Some people have had heart attacks after taking a big splash for some reason too. Big Daddy splashed somebody (King Kong Kirk?) and a chain reaction of things led to cause his death. Edited November 28, 2014 by bAzTNM#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
