  1. Would you believe I am a huge, huge batman fan and never read Dark Knight Returns? I own it but haven't read it. Maybe tomorrow I will do this.
  2. He may not be Big Van Walter but damn if Otis didn't look exactly like Vader while wearing the Gap and gown Monday. The facial expressions were uncanny
  3. WWE got really strict on it around the time Punk was feuding with Mysterio. I remember Punk being frustrated that the ref had to stop the match, put on the gloves and clean off the blood multiple times. It ruined the match. If I'm not wrong this was during the Linda for Senator run.
  4. I always liked B-Boy, he had a pretty decent match with Punk on the indies. He's one of those guys who you wouldn't think could mat wrestle well but he will surprise you. Homicide is another guy in that boat. I am assuming a lot of these guys will be at the Indy Hall of Fame the night before and will probably get spots at the PPV sunday. Maybe we get Punk on commentary with Dave one last time?
  5. If you saw the back and forth on twitter between Joe Rodgers and the private party you may have heard what a scum bag Joe is. If you didn't know he was the promoter who stiffed Balls Mahoney and others on their pay. Balls recorded the famous youtube video going to Joe's house and banging on his door to get the money back. Long story short. Joe had a show in WV and he held an online raffle where a fan would get to have lunch with Sunny. Sure enough day before the show Sunny no-showed and all of the fans were screwed. She wasn't even replaced with a name. Another promotion in the area tried booking her less than a year after. Surprise she no showed again. I wonder how many arrests it's going to take before 1 sticks and she gets Nick Gage jail time? Or cleans her shit up.
  6. I believe Ken has 2 books out. I was talking with him on Linkedin and asked if he would sign one if I paid the shipping. He directed me to his site where I would have to buy the book again and pay additional for the sig. It was like $85-$90 at the time. More if he personalized it.
  7. It's actually really good. I liked it. Learned a lot. Lots of crazy shit Shane did when they were younger.
  8. If Pearl Jam couldn't beat Ticketmaster there is no way in hell MLW will beat Mcdevitt. He will eat them alive.
  9. looks like Battle of the Belts will be a 60 min show tonight with the rest being taped for Dark. Every Champion but Cody will have a match. Dustin Vs Sami for the interim TV title.
  10. I'm thinking they hated Larry due to the AWA stuff. You are dead right about the 97 crowds. One thing that was cool to me about the big wrestling boom of 97-99 is that you would get shows in small towns. We finally had WCW in Erie PA. Hell we had WCW in Buffalo also. Things that we just didn't get before that and when we would get those shows the crowd would turn up and be hot for them. Sadly WCW being WCW we would also get a shit load of no shows and screw job finishes but it was better than nothing.
  11. Magically the day before a live Smackdown where Brock says he will be there for Roman.. Hope Roman is feeling well. My boss has it now and is vaxed. Says he has never felt so tired in his life.
  12. I agree. When I hear Marvel I ultimately think of Spider-Man. I would love to see Morrison's take on the iconic character. His Batman run was unique and I picked up his Superman omnibus but have yet to read it (heard good things) 2022= year of the Spider....Man
  13. It seems like the guys who they had work jobbers always went on to fail. Lord Tensai was one. Brodus Clay, Vladamir Kozlov, I think they had Hassan work a few jobbers also. Going to guess when 2024 hits and we finally see Veer he will also be working a jobber.
  14. So hear me out guys, If all it takes to get into the Rumble match is to declare you are in the match then why doesn't everyone do it? If you don't want to be in the Rumble why be in WWE? Logically everyone should declare themselves into the Rumble match and make the guys (and girls) win qualifiers or something. I say this as the Street Profits just took up 2 of the 30 spots. I don't think a soul in the world believes either guy has a snowball chance in hell of winning. Is the roster that thin?
  15. Wonder how different it would have been had Dusty not wanted to put the big gold on Rick Steiner and then leaving for WWF. Would Dusty have given Bam Bam a push? Shit in hindsight why not push for Bigelow-Flair instead of trying to put Rick Steiner in that role?
  16. Bam Bam had an odd trajectory. He was amazing in 87 WWF. He could have been a strong villian for Hogan had they not went the route of Andre. Bammer going to WCW/NWA in 88 was strange. He had the match with Barry and outside of that really didn't do much. Had some strong runs in Japan and then back to WWF. He was a strong hand anywhere he went. I know towards the end of his career he no showed a few events but outside of that he seemed to get constant bookings and was over with the crowd anywhere he went. What kid or adult is going to forget the guy with the flame tattoo on his head?! The Kliq might have hurt his 95 run, but the guy should have had gold in WWF well before then.
  17. Honestly the early MLW stuff isn't bad. I believe it was my first exposure to Teddy Hart and Jack Evans.
  18. who are you to decide who cares about what? You say I'm "entitled" but re-read your posts. Right about Brit, right about J-Rose, and right about Tay. The 3 things you all seem to keep coming back to. If nobody cares then we can let it drop. But you guys aren't willing to. More toxic shit from you all then anything else.
  19. Brock challenged the non-compete with Vince and he won. He worked NJPW. It's in his book actually. He mentions being the only one to successfully beat Vince over a non-compete.
  20. You are wrong Gordlow. I actually admitted Brit has gotten better. With Tay and Sammy she was sitting on his lap at Steel City Con. People saw it and mentioned it on IG and she denied it and then quit Instagram for a whopping 24 hrs over it. She called the people liars when they weren't. She was in fact the one lying. But a bunch of people on here jump and defend her. Google "Whiteknighting" It's the same thing they did with Brit without knowing any facts. I don't give a fuck who Sammy and Tay date. But when they call people "liars" it becomes an issue.
  21. obviously you do or you wouldn't have typed this up. What makes you the person in charge? I'm not going to stop responding when I'm right. If you are so bothered you can always shut the fuck up. But clearly you do care.
  22. OK Dick Tracy, Jealousy you say? Of Brit? Nope. Like I said, she changed and we are cool now. Name another worker I talked shit about? Tay and Sammy? Nope, not jealous of them either. Hell I've praised people on here for years. Wardlow, Facade, Shima, Lee Moriarty, Jack Pollock, Gargano, RSP, Sam Adonis, I can go on and on. Why would I praise all of the guys and be jealous of Brit? You guys won't let this shit drop. It's funny really.
  23. easy Mark, you don't want a the hyenas to pounce on you for discussing wrestlers personal lives on a wrestling forum.
