Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 29, 2012 Moderators Posted November 29, 2012 I think he unintentionally said "Summerfest" instead of SummerSlam which made me chuckle. When CM Punk dropped that line in a year later though I cringed. If anyone did it I wouldn't; I just think Punk tries too hard sometimes. That was Jeremy Piven, who was shit. Yeah but thats still just one side. A GM who is desperate for everyone to love him, will go out of his way to put on (what he thinks is) an amazing show, easily influenced by everyone he comes into contact with and could do something crazy and unexpected at any time. All being done in an entertaining way where you can't help but like him. Well I think its better than another yet another cookie cutter Heel GM or boring Face one who does nothing That was Adamle as GM, pretty much. Adamle Originals and everything.

I still think CM tries too hard to be witty though.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 29, 2012 Moderators Posted November 29, 2012 Yeah, you're right there. Although he's cut back on the inside comments now though, which is always a good thing.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 30, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 30, 2012 Wade's favourite tracks. He's a great man. Wade Barrett
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted November 30, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 30, 2012 Fucking hell, I could have written that list, our tastes are virtually identical. Top bloke.
Paid Members Benno Posted November 30, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 30, 2012 Just happened across the full Donahue with Vince and Meltzer as guests right in the middle of the steroid scandal. Maan, I'd never seen that before. Homophobia running wild with Donahue making alot of the GAY sexual allegations and a crowd member even asking "what percentage of wrestlers are gay." It's really interesting how uncomfortable Vince is, especially when you know in hindsight how full of shit he is. Him sat next to Meltzer makes it even better. Bonus points for Billy Graham and Bruno grinding axes like there's no tomorrow.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 30, 2012 Moderators Posted November 30, 2012 Murray Hodgson was the one who was really full of shit. Mariann From Brooklyn appears to run a wrestling fansite. Mind Blown.
pgi86 Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) A tweet from Kevin Nash's Twitter that cracked me up just now: "Typed this tweet and felt a pain in my QUAD, pray it's not a tear". Ha! Gotta love Big Sexy. Edited November 30, 2012 by pgi86

Paid Members Nick James Posted November 30, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 30, 2012 Looks like there is a Twitter 'war' currently ongoing between Sid and Xpac. Can't link to the Tweets at the moment as i'm at work, but, does anyone know the reasoning behind it?

moofasa Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 All I can see is this SID Sidnextbigthing@TheRealXPac ur a retard Who seems to be a writer for websites, not the master and ruler of the world
ItsClobberingTime Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Yeah that was the only thing I saw. Thought I was missing a 'war' somewhere.
Paid Members Nick James Posted November 30, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 30, 2012 My apologies, I was under the impression that it was THE Sid.
Paid Members air_raid Posted December 1, 2012 Paid Members Posted December 1, 2012 Been watching a lot of the old WWF stuff the last two weeks, and here are some random thoughts I had. I have long (and vocally) admired Bret Hart's promo prior to the title match at Survivors 92 as one of my favourites ever in terms of realism, and talking frankly to an opponent about how they're going to lose without yelling or threatening to kill them or break their legs or something ridiculous. Well, his interview with Mean Gene from the Saturday Nights Main Event just before said Survivors runs it close, listening to Bret talk about the dungeon and working his way up. Actually, I love the confrontation with Shawn after his match as well. Those two had great chemistry and I loved it here when it was the calm, confident WWF Champion against the cocky upstart Intercontinental Champion in love with himself. The late 80s really was a golden era for themes. Everyone knows about the ones that were just cracking pieces of music - Jake, Demolition, Warrior. And there are those that just perfectly captured the style or character of the act - Rude's "Stripper" music, Rockers' energy, Perfect's theme that just made you think of "excellence." And several others that were just catchy and made people pop - Beefcake's theme, the Harts'. But there really needs to be more love for the themes of Strike Force, the Powers of Pain, the Blue Blazer and (don't hate me) even the Rooster's was catchy. Listening to Lawler talking to Vince prior to a WWF title match about the feeling of nausea in your stomach prior to "the biggest match of your life" makes me realize in a way I never had, that he used to be awesome at bringing his experience as a wrestler into his commentary, and adding to the feeling of importance surrounding the big matches. Nowadays, not so much. And finally, at the Rumble '95 PPV, Todd Pettingill deserves credit for his professionalism when interviewing Pam Anderson. He does a very convincing portrayal of a man *not* spunking in his pants.
