[NOV WRESTLING CHIT CHAT THREAD]

Didn't he drunkenly flip out on his wife and accuse her of fucking Jushin Liger of all people when they were in Japan once a few years back too?

[Sept Wrestling Jibber Jabber Thread]

 

 

Reading about Freddie Prinze Jr. being attatched to the new Star Wars movie, and in the article it mentions his WWE run on the creative team.. then it says Bob Mould of Husker Du fame had a stint as a script writer for WCW?!

 

 

After the tour, Mould took a break from the music world to get involved with another passion of his, professional wrestling, when he joined WCW as a scriptwriter in 1999 for a brief period.^[23] Creative differences with some of the other writers led to Mould's leaving the company and returning to music. The liner notes for the 2002 album Modulate thank some of the wrestlers he associated with, most notably Kevin Nash and Kevin Sullivan.

 

Yep! Bob talks about it a lot in his autobiography, too. He's a lifelong rasslin' fan.

 

Bob Mould was, to the best of my knowledge, the first person to use the now commonplace term "Hardcore Wrestling". It was the name of his punk culture style Xeroxed pro wrestling fanzine back in the 80s. You can find a handful of scans with a Google Image Search of "bob mould hardcore wrestling".

[Favorite Version of a Wrestler's Character]

My favorite all time character incarnations were all pretty recent and all, with the exception of Sasuke and a little bit of Batista's previous work, guys I outright thought were insufferable turdlings before and after the great run.

 

Double J Double MA Jeff Jarrett

Paranoid Schizophrenic Homeless Guy R-Truth (before the face turn)

Team Hell No Kane

Beyond Douchebag Batista

Aging, Incompetent Crash Test Dummy Comedy Great Sasuke in Dragon Gate

 

Actually, a shit ton of Dragon Gate runs and gimmicks, now that I think about it. Like Genki Horiguchi the entire time when he was in Muscle Outlaw'z  and was the World's Most Entertaining Match Interferer. I need to get back on that DG bandwagon.
