Windham in the Zeus role? Was that rumoured or fantasy booking?
-
I've wanted to get a chequered suit for YEARS but could never pluck up the courage. Dave has now given me that courage

I'm glad I haven't missed the boat on self-checkout talk. Two bits:
1) I bought a bunch of bananas but when selecting them on the screen gimmick I just put 'banana' so it only charged me 29p coz it thought it was just one.
2) When using one early in the morning one day I actually said thank you to the self service machine when it gave me my change
Also, I was listening to the Shield on the Onnit podcast that someone mentioned. Cracked up at the idea that Reigns and Rollins go home to families and Ambrose goes directly to VEGAS to party

Damn, I ran out of likes but that legit made me lol

No, like in an actual promo on JCP tv. Sure it was on the first DVD WWE released
-
Hero with the Wyatts! Jesus, why didn't that happen?
Not that I can imagine a member of the Wyatt clan with a cravatte based offence... suppose Bray could cut a promo saying how the only TV they received back in their hut was Deliverance and World of Sport from England
-
Graves looks nothing like Punk!
-
I'd believe him about the Studio 54 thing, I'm sure Ric Flair mentioned receiving an award from Heyman there in the mid-80s
-
Was this from the Sheriff Austin run? I loved that, I remember him interrogating Lance Storm being a highlight

Wow, been away for three days and never thought that Curtis Hawkins quote would lead to nearly 10 pages of Ryder talk. My thoughts on him are pretty much exemplified by Cristobal quote:
The "lol Ryder sux" crowd is missing the damn point. He went outside the box to create something for himself, which is exactly what everyone from Vince to Austin have been saying is what you need to do. If he'd gotten some kind of a chance, and just screwed it up, well so be it. But since he never got that chance, it's a hugely demotivating force to people in the locker room.
I don't give a shit about quarterlies or ratings, I'm not a statician I just want to be entertained. And he was entertaining. WOOWOOWOO was massively over until he changed it into this serious woo.woo.woo thing. He's a character that should have at least been put in the Santino position in some way, I'm not saying pushed to the stars coz he's not that type of wrestler but he should have been featured A LOT more in the loveable goof role as opposed to what happened to him with this bizarre US title run/odd Kane storyline then dropping off TV
Ricky Steamboat beating Ric Flair at Chi-Town Rumble is a direct result of J.J. Dillon leaving the NWA. Dillon would have had a plan to double-team Steamboat as soon as Tommy Young was knocked out. Hiro Matsuda just stood there and watched his guy get beat.
This made me lol, whether that was your intention or not I'm not sure

I kinda wish Ambrose had gone all crazy and done a Martin Riggs to pop his shoulder back into place

Well this is kind of depressing:
On the locker room reaction to Zack Ryder's depush: "The worst part of that whole thing is that it really kind of broke the spirit of the locker room. For years, we were told in all these pep talks that there's a brass ring, you've gotta reach for it and it's there for the taking if you work hard enough and get yourself over. And he did it; he defied the odds and actually does it, and all the boys are rooting for him, like "Oh wow, this is cool as sh*t. This has never been done before." He got over without the office, without TV time. It was pretty mind-blowing. And then they did just crush it and take it all away from him. To me, I felt the example that set for the rest of the boys was pretty brutal, because then it's like it almost feels hopeless. It's like, you're not going to get pushed unless they pick you to get pushed, and that's kind of it. I thought, above all, that message they sent to the boys was the worst part. They crushed the spirits of a lot of people, like "Okay, so my hard work here isn't going to pay off, huh?" -
Forget 96, what if Bret had gone to WCW in 92?
-
Strangely, I have no real problems watching Benoit matches but I can't watch Misawa matches
-
Seeing as you mentioned that, how/why did Eaton and Arn end up with Hayes post-Dangerous Alliance? It was over and done before I even noticed when I was a kid
-
Didn't he end up in a tag team with Barry Horowitz or some bullshit? Then left?
-
I'm the same Big Fresh, up until his ROH run I thought Cornette was the be-all and end-all of booking, then I listened to Russo and then Cornette's Invasion booking and that was it for me

I got a PS3 on the cheap at the weekend with a bunch of games. Started playing one of them called Spec Ops: The Line just expecting it to be another thoughtless run n gun game. Nope, it's really fucking dark and has an Apocalypse Now descent into madness vibe. I did a mission yesterday where I had to drop phosphorous bombs on a platoon of rogue US troopers THEN walk through the aftermath - burnt soldiers crawling around, crying. One was still alive and simply asked 'why'. Grim
That's an excellent game. I seem to recall hating the ending though.
Which ending did you choose?
-
I've heard amazing things about that game. People say it was one of the most underrated and surprising games of the generation.
I guess going in blind has been a real godsend for me as I know nothing about it so its taken me by surprise. I think I'm 3-6 missions from the end, well worth getting if you can get it cheap/used. The Kurtz-type villain made me choose between executing a civilian who stole water or the soldier who killed the civilians family too - I hesistated for too long so one of his snipers shot my squad mate who I then had to resusitate

I always thought Bruno's perm was his first foray into wig-dom

I like to think he'd have amounted to something great in WWE, but part of me thinks he'd be stuck in a team with Barrett. His Pure Title run was legit one of the greatest title runs in the history of the sport

THE YOUTUBES CHAMPIONSHIP!
-
but my real question is - would Russo have managed to add another gimmic stipulation to the Dibiase/Duggan Tuxedo/Coal Miner Glove on a Pole/Cage Match?!

Remember that weird moment in time where WWE started billing wrestlers from Canada as being from places in the States?
