Paid Members Up Chuck Posted January 21, 2014 Paid Members Posted January 21, 2014 They had five names with missing letters to choose from - Hogan (49), Savage (2), Cena (10), Undertaker (14) and Austin (5). The teams picked Savage and Austin, the best answers. Stasiak would DEFINITELY have been Pointless. Iplayer link, it's about half an hour in if you want to skip.
burchybabi Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Which were Pointless? I'd have probably gone for Stan Stasiak. They gave 5 names with alternate letters missing, it was a simple list (points for each answer given in brackets) 1) H_L_ H_G_N (49) 2) M_C_O _A_ R_N_Y S_V_G_ (2) 3) J_H_ C_N_ (10) 4) T_E _N_E_T_K_R (14) 5) S_O_E _O_D _T_V_ A_S_I_ (5)
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted January 21, 2014 Paid Members Posted January 21, 2014 So I came across this on the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Wikipedia page: It doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know, but it's kind of interesting (contentious 1905 lineage, counting the WWWF/WWF/WWE title as a direct splinter of the NWA title)
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 21, 2014 Paid Members Posted January 21, 2014 The whole thing's a mess. If you're talking about the NWA title, then there's a potential argument that the WHC that was split from the UD championship never had NWA lineage, as the NWA title was already operating as TNA's top belt, given that NWA still legally (and I say that with some generosity of spirit) hold the rights to the lineage, belt, image, etc. Think it also misses out that period when the NWA belt was separate from the WCW title, when Muta and Wyndham faced each other for it. That title's been properly whored out.
Sphinx Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Cena's choice of red and yellow boxers isn't coincidence, is it?
pgi86 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Random thought of the day: I miss Ian's indy wank topics. In fact, I miss the days of those promotions, period. U.S. indy wrestling seems so dull and by-the-book these days. I miss the days when crazy stuff was happening all over the place. It made things much more interesting to follow. Maybe not better persay, but certainly more interesting. Edited January 22, 2014 by pgi86
KingOfMetal Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 would that be because of the talent that was around in the 00's are all either with WWE or on exclusive deals with TNA now?
King Pitcos Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) It's because the attitude era and WWF buying WCW was like a nuclear bomb in wrestling. It spawned shitloads of mutants and weirdos in the fallout, and now, the radiation has died down. The early 00s were full of divots still high off the fumes of the boom period, thinking they could be the new WCW or ECW. Everyone's kind of accepted the reality of the scene now, so the buffoons and conmen come up with much smaller doomed schemes these days. Edited January 22, 2014 by King Pitcos
AshC Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Remember MECW? I remember them getting the spread treatment in Power Slam as being perhaps the promotion to fill the gap. Not sure they even got to a second show. Edited January 22, 2014 by AshC
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 22, 2014 Moderators Posted January 22, 2014 Ah yes! I remember PS covering one of their shows. Had Hennig vs Buff Bagwell or something as the main.
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted January 22, 2014 Moderators Posted January 22, 2014 Honky Tonk Man's finisher is really something these days. Go to 14:00 --
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 22, 2014 Paid Members Posted January 22, 2014 John Collins in an interview claimed he had a wrestler on board called Chris Justice who could do everything Rey Mysterio could. He went on to be Abyss. I think part of the reason he was arrested was because of that statement.
Paid Members Onyx2 Posted January 22, 2014 Paid Members Posted January 22, 2014 Honky Tonk Man's finisher is really something these days. Go to 14:00 -- That's... nice. Milks it a bit too.
Vamp Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Some kid from educating Yorkshire (dunno who, don't watch cc it) did the yes chant tonight when collecting an award at the nta's. Nobody seemed to have much of a clue what he was going on about sadly. Still a cool if surreal moment. Nobody knows about it outside of wrestling though.
