Pinc Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Amongst the sheer amount of guff and bollocks in there, he does make some valid points though regarding Seth. He is sloppy and seemingly a bit careless, and I don't think he's wrong about the lack of storytelling either. I don't think I've been particularly invested in a Seth match from an emotional perspective- it's usually 'oh let's see which spots he busts out'. He doesn't tell compelling stories in his matches. In this regard, Reigns is light years ahead of him. Â Â Seth is awful. I've thought so since I tried to get back into ROH and found that lanky streak of piss was the main babyface. One of my least favourite wrestlers ever. Â He has been comically miscast as a heel for the last two years, so I'm willing to wait and see if this face turn brings any improvement. His title reign last year is the worst they've ever booked in the sixteen years I've been watching week to week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrasslin Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I don't think this is about whether or not people think Seth Rollins is shit or not in the ring. Â Smith has essentially just accused Rollins of something akin to criminal negligence. If this turns out to have no basis whatsoever I think Rollins cold easily sue him. I'm sure the trainees would have been made to sign all kinds of forms to confirm they don't have heart conditions etc. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Bruce doesn't even seem to know whether "kids off the street" at this school are expected to do the same cardio drills as Seth or not. For all he or any of us knows, the trainee may have had an existing condition and had just sat down to put on his boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Well it is, considering Smith Hart just used the death as a vehicle to get his opinion of Rollins' ability across. As a side point mind you- it's clearly a point worth discussing.

Wrasslin Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I mean for the actual Kid. Not in terms of the discussion coming off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of fit and healthy young people pretty much drop dead all of a sudden every year because of undiagnosed stuff. If anything, he should shut up until the coroners report is published rather than go off on a matter that's nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Apparently former WWE wrestler Rico is not very well...

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 21, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 21, 2016 Rico was always good fun. He'd have been a good bet if they did another Gimmick Battle Royal. Â Wasn't he a cop in Las Vegas as well? Would there be a police pension type thing that would help him out financially?

Paid Members Supremo Posted September 21, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 21, 2016 I thought Rico was still on that top turnbuckle, waiting for Jeff Hardy to push him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent too long selling the Swanton off the balcony on Jamal/Umaga was it? And yeah, they did do a Where Are They Now? Feature where he talked about his police job. He mentioned he did a match a couple of years before and said he grew back the lambchops especially for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I met Rico once many years ago on one of the UK tours when by chance we was in the same hotel and he was great with everyone having a chat and signing/taking photos in his own time. I suppose he was maybe overwhelmed given he wasn't exactly a superstar as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 In the WWE road stories book "Are We There Yet?" there's a great account of Rico subduing a troublesome passenger during a flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Rico got big fan cheers for the gay gimmick in the tag team with Haas in 04, pretty big deal I always thought. Shame he got in the business late, he was a good performer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 At the time I thought Rico really was gay. He was more camp than Goldust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I've also heard a few times Rico would always be in the hotel lobbies signing stuff for ages. Decent bloke, wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
