Guest CULT OF PERSONALITY Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Whatever happened to Tony Jones from beyond the mat?
Paid Members JLM Posted November 1, 2006 Paid Members Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) What the hell does the thing about forties and rollies at the beginning of Cryme Tyme's theme mean?Pop a forty = Opening a 40 ounce beer. These are commonly associated with black ghetto culture, as seen in Spike Lee films, usually sold by scared Korean shop owners. Check your roley = Check your watch (because it's Crime time, you see). Roley being a slang term for Rolex, purveyor of expensive watches. As used in many a hip hop song and blaxploitation movie. Edited November 1, 2006 by JLM
Gwailofilms Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Bit vague this: a few years ago, someone was using a move called the Gas Mask. Who was it and what was it?
NBT Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Pete Gas of the Mean Street Posse... I think it was a version of the Buff Blockbuster/Flipping Second Rope Neckbreaker.
Gwailofilms Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 How massively disappointing on both counts. Thanks anyway.
nomad Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Does anybody have this weeks Observer yet? (Mon 30th)
Twatters Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Pete Gas of the Mean Street Posse... I think it was a version of the Buff Blockbuster/Flipping Second Rope Neckbreaker.It was Pete Gas, but it wasn't that move. It was a kinda sit-out spinebuster, where, at the start of the move, Pete Gas would have his hands over the face of the oppenent (like a gas mask).

Yeah, Posse trivia!
Paid Members Statto Posted November 1, 2006 Paid Members Posted November 1, 2006 Whatever happened to Tony Jones from beyond the mat?According to Obsessed with Wrestling, he did a three-show weekend with XPW in 2004, then pretty much nothing. His official website hasn't been updated since 2003, so I would surmise he's out of the wrestling business.
Gwailofilms Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 When did Chris Jericho make his first appearance on WCW Nitro?
NBT Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 26/8/96 on Monday Nitro in a match with Alex Wright. Wright 'knocks himself out' on the guardrail after falling from the top rope to the outside, but Jericho refuses the win and declares the match a no-contest. Jericho then cuts a promo about how he's here to represent wrestling and WCW and not what the nWo stand for. The match and promo are on the 'Before They Were WWE Superstars 2' DVD release.

Roley being a slang term for Rolex, purveyor of expensive watches. As used in many a hip hop song and blaxploitation movie.Further to previous answer, the forty refered to in "Pop a forty" is also slang for Colt 45, a malt liquor popular in black ghettos because it is both cheap and higher in alcohol when compared to normal American beers. It is commonly sold in 40 ounce bottles and wether the "forty" refers to the Colt Forty-five or the forty ounce bottle is open to debate. But as the Colt 45 comes in the 40oz bottles it doesn't really matter. The phrase has been around for at least 20 years, the first time I heard it used was 1986.
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 2, 2006 Moderators Posted November 2, 2006 Do any beers apart from San Mig actually come in 40s over here? I know you get the big bottles of other stuff, but I've never seen anything else in a 40oz apart from that...

How did he turn face?How did Earl Hebner get himself fired? I seen him reffing a match for TNA. Thank you brahs.
