Yeah man, that was great; DDP is just all-over natural charisma. Â How emotional was he?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's his fucking problem? As for Koloff, do they really want him going in as a footnote? Surely they'd prefer he got a proper induction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members theironshake Posted April 2, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 2, 2017 Ginzburg is on my Facebook (I'm going to delete him) he does nothing but praise indie and slag off Wwe. His opinion of the Miz is crazy ( he can't work, never had more than a three star match ect) but he loves Bruno and Ivan Koloff. I know who id rather watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted April 3, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 3, 2017 If Koloff's name is on that lawsuit list he isn't going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he might of been a reccuring guest on Figure Four Daily in 2006/2007 when Alvarez used to do daily F4D shows. From what I remember of him he is one of those old school WWWF type guys who is super into 60s/70s stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavemanLynn Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 By the end of Beth's speech, I think I was in love with her. Just a lovely, funny, beautiful woman. Great to hear her thanking names you wouldn't realise helped so much. Rick Rude Junior is a charismatic sumbitch. Perfect commemorative speech. Got the gimmick out of the way early to pay tribute to the man. Wonderful. Rock'n'Rolls were doddery. Gibson looked like a shaven Bill Bailey. Cornette was loud. APA might've been entertaining themselves and the boys but I found JBL obnoxious and Simmons bland and disjointed. Sadly, Kurt's speech left me cold. A load of prop moments with too much dead time and telling everyone how great he was. The gold nugget in there though was his advice about character moments over work rate (ironic considering his post-ECW serious wrestler attitude). I hope the current and future generation took note. MVP, both of the night and in life, was DDP. An absolute hero in every sense. Genuine but charismatic, funny but honest, determined but humble. It saddens me that stories from before WWE was the only game in town, when guys could call their own matches and try out crazy shit, are going to be fewer and further between. The Dusty and Savage impressions were sublime. DDP 4 LIFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur B. Funky Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I've known Evan since about 1999, & met him once or twice in NY. Â But I can't really say that he's been as vitriolic as this in SO many years. Â He is completely down on the WWE product, barring Nakamura & 205Live. Â I get his love for the nostalgia though, as his old fanzine used to be excellent (I was a subscriber). Â His personal friendships with some of the legends may be colouring his outlook IMO.

Paid Members theironshake Posted April 3, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 3, 2017 I've called him on his hatred of the Miz a few times. I love his nostalgia  pieces I just hate his views on the modern product and the fact that he really feels Wwe should produce wrestling and nothing more are so antiquated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
