Paid Members PJ Power Posted February 5, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'll bet a lot of these dodgy wrestling stories mentioned so far had appeared first on the wrestling fan page of Sky Text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Accident Prone Posted February 5, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2019 Fucking hell, that's great. It's frustrating how much that WWE team could do with real, compelling stories like this yet they seem happy enough to plod along as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 5, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2019 everything the WWE do away from the actual main show is usually really good, its just baffling that the primary material that has the most eyeballs on it is so bad.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 6, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2019 Watched this during the night. I had completely forgotten that Austin had this abortion of an entrance theme. Typical of the excess of that era. Tacking shit on all the time. It's just horrific noise.

Porkchopcash Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 See i always liked that music, as he had it when he returned at the PPV to stun Shane and Blackman. Which was a top segment. Must have watched it 100 times back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted February 6, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2019 That music is garbage, the vocals are hilariously bad. I wrote something about sounding like an even shitter Davey Draiman, then I looked it up and it is Disturbed! Total catshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted February 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Pasting this because MOJ doesn't post here any more. In a thread about a video recorder he had as a kid that gave crystal clear freeze frames: Has this ever come up before? I don't recall anyone spotting white flashes until now. What a scandal! Like thigh-slapping, but right into our brains. edit: actually, seeing as it was on live PPVs too, I'm wondering if it was camera flashes. I read a thing recently where the WWE do the camera flashes of their official photographers with the arena house lights, for some reason. edit2: solved by John Lister.

Mr.Showtime Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I was watching a Raw review thing on YouTube where the subject again came up about wrestlers wearing their gear backstage when they're not listed to compete. I hadn't thought about it until now but, kayfabe-speaking, shouldn't all faces be in their gear because they're ready to compete at a moment's notice against anyone, and all heels should be in jeans or a suit so they can make the excuse of not being ready? Has/does this actually happen in any promotion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 12, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2019 Apologies for the self-plug, but I wrote something about the increasing homogenisation/standardisation of wrestling across the world - from NJPW's appeal to western markets, WWE's move away from aspects of the conventional "WWE style" and towards a more mid-00s indie-influenced approach, touching on everything from the UWFi to Pro Wrestling: EVE to the ECW/WWF/USWA feud along the way. I also touch on the bits of AEW I'm actually excited about, so it's not all negativity. I'm actually quite proud of this, and it's exact a summary of my feelings toward modern wrestling as I think I've ever managed to put together, so would appreciate if you gave it a read; http://www.imaintainthedoublefootstompissilly.com/styles-clash-wrestling-without-ideologies-and-the-homogenisation-of-pro-wrestling/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the disappointed patrons of stationary company Pen Island when they guess that a mere dot com will lead them to fountain pens.

hallicks Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Why does a triple threat automatically have become a no-DQ affair? (In WWE at least). Is it because of there only being one fall allowed so it can't be a DQ? Couldn't you just say if someone does something DQable, they're eliminated from the match and it continues 1-on-1?

Couldn't you just say if someone does something DQable, they're eliminated from the match and it continues 1-on-1? I think the idea behind that rule is to allow a clean finish in a match where they don't want to beat at least one (but probably two) of the participants. We get so many DQ finishes as it is in singles matches due to wanting to protect both people, that I'm pretty glad it's the way it is. The draw back comes when titles transition from the champion to the new champion without the holder being involved in the fall. Unless that helps set up the new program between the winner and the unbeaten champion, then it may not give the winner as big of a boost as it would if they beat the holder to win the belt (although I guess that's completely in theory, and it really depends on who is involved more than anything). Edited February 13, 2019 by WeeAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted February 13, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 13, 2019 My cultural awareness is so bad that I was genuinely staring at this for a few seconds and wondering where Eric Bischoff was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
