Loki Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 When I showed the Foley-through-a-cage spot to some non-fans, their reaction was "FAKE! He's wearing a protective vest, you can see it, blood capsule etc". Problem is, Foley is so fat and out of shape, it's hard to argue. He DOES look like he's wearing a jacket under his shirt.

Paid Members Jaffa Posted November 14, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 My parents had actually got interested in WWF wrestling from around March 2000 as the build to the Wrestlemania fatal four way began. It was great. We each had our favourites and really enjoyed sitting and watching Raw and Smackdown as a family. We laughed at some of the absurdity, enjoyed the matches and got caught up with storylines (my mum loved the 24/7 Hardcore Title rule). My family were class - they hated the heels and loved the faces. Â Mum had taped King of the Ring 2000 on the Sunday night and so on Monday night, armed with Fish and Chips (a treat reserved for WWF nights) we sat down to watch it, looking forward to seeing whose favourite would win the KOTR tournament (Mum: Crash Holly. Stepdad: Rikishi, Sister: Chris Jericho, Me: Bull Buchanan) and what would happen in the WWF title match. Â We never saw the title match or the KOTR final that night. In fact, we never watched WWF as a family ever again after that night. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spotlightmagnet1 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Went to my friends house to watch Raw probably 2000ish, anyway we're watching Raw he recorded when his sister and her friends, one of which was absolutely stunning caught us watching...

No use for a nick Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I wish Vince could read all of this. He would probably laugh about it though, yet wrestling is theatre mixed with sports, not necessarily bad theatre mixed with sports, it's not written in stone, I hate it how it seems inevitable that it's played out along the "white trash" lines. You could conceivably tell the story of Hamlet, or anything else, it doesn't need to be embarassing yet it seems like it must be because "what do you expect from wrestling"? Â I think it was Alex Shane who said it, a few years ago, why do we have to necessarily be embarassed at least 5 minutes every time we watch wrestling? (usually longer though).

Paid Members John Matrix Posted November 14, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 2006. Won an important football game and had a couple of the guys over for pizza and drinks afterwards. Â Wasnt an active viewer at the time, but knew there was a PPV on that weekend, so a few drinks became an all nighter and we all tuned into Backlash. Â It was very difficult to combat opinion that i'd knowingly and actively encouraged them to stay on and watch a 60yr old man and his son take on an blatant homosexual and GOD.

buba3d Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 a few years ago I was a fan of wew (womens extreme wrestling) on the sunshine network, it was so bad it was funny, anyways was a fan of alexis laree so when I found out that wew was coming out on DVD in the uk I was over the moon so I checked hmgr site and it displayed a few titles so I popped down with my mum (she wanted scotch n wry) so I went over to the sports section and I couldn't see it, asked the girl behind the counter and she pointed me to the special interests section (had no clue what I was about to see) I looked at the section and I was stunned (women's erotic wrestling) wtf was this shite but it had the wrestlers i was looking for on the front cover, then I saw titles with Michelle thorn on it, my mum looks over towards me and quickly rushes towards me with a shocked look as I held wew DVD in my hands with a big titted woman on the cover (pwo), for the rest of the day I tree in vain to tell her it's not what she thinks it was, he'll I even stuck the DVD on not knowing after halfway though what I was going to witness, some lass getting her kit of soaping up her tits and rubbing her front bottom, lucky for me she only saw the first two matches  main event dildo on a pole match ( never again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 You could conceivably tell the story of Hamlet, or anything else, it doesn't need to be embarassing yet it seems like it must be because "what do you expect from wrestling"? Â If the WWE told the story of Hamlet there'd be endless bitching from all corners. There'd be bitching about faking a death or using a real death if you went that way instead. There'd be bitching that it was like soap opera bullshit. There'd be bitching about the fact that Hamlet basically spends two fucking hours going "I wanna kill him, but I don't wanna kill him, ah I'll kill myself instead, but I can't do that, no I'll kill him instead, and then shag me mum". You can't tell Hamlet in a wrestling environment. Nor would you want to. People don't like it enough as it is when there's too much talking and not enough wrestling.

Paid Members air_raid Posted November 14, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 I remember having to hide this video when anyone was coming into my room. And my mum telling me off for having porn when she found it. Â I bought Sable Unleashed. I'm not sure why, given that I'd already got Fully Loaded, which is far more potent than any actual Diva Wank release. In fact, I've probably knocked one out to SummerSlam 88 more often than Postcard From The Caribbean. Â I'd have mentioned SummerSlam 92, but that goes without saying. Sherri > Mens World. Â ... but what specifically was it that made you think that it would be Bull Buchanan's big night? Â I know it's easy to say this, but I don't know a single wrestling fan that didn't know Angle was winning at the time. With the company so blatantly high on him, his association with Steph and the fact he'd jettisoned the midcard titles, it was such a logical natural next step. He was already looking like being on a level slightly above the other men involved, apart from possibly Chris Jericho, number 2 company babyface. Having said that, we'd by and large already given up on Chris actually ever cracking the main event at the point, assuming he'd be a perennial Intercontinental champion and nothing more. An opinion we seriously reconsidered a mere month later, mind. But then reverted to not long after, for a good 12 months or so. Â Â Â Back on topic, got a few raised eyebrows when father used to hand me Raw Magazine fresh out the letterbox with a semi-naked Terri, Debra or Lita on the cover. THANK CHRIST I retrieved this one myself : Â Â The phrase "you'll wank over anything, won't you?" in my late fathers voice is resonating in my head. Â Â Apropos of nothing, I'd forgotten how much I used to love Lita at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Generally if I'm watching Attitude-era stuff in bed with the missus, I have to skip anything Diva-related as I can always feel the "you dirty bastard" stare daggering into the back of my head. Wait, what? The back of your head? Do you watch the wrestling sat at the end of your bed like an excited kid, popcorn and all, or is it more that you watch it whilst listening to Oops Upside Your Head? Â Our TV is at the side of the bed, on my side, so I'd be watching the left hand side of the room, while my missus sleeps on the right hand side.
