APRIL WRESTLING DISCUSSION THREAD
Zakk_Sabbath replied to Bustronaut's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
He's already signed with them and is reporting to developmental. Oh gosh, that should be interesting. He could be Wahoo, or he could be Mongo. We shall see. Wahoo seems unlikely. Kevin Greene, maybe. Kevin Greene was pretty good in the ring for what he was. I remember my dad marking hard, since he used to be a Steeler -

You're real life cool, but it's balanced out with having awful taste. That reminds me, I haven't tweeted any Limp Bizkit lyrics in a while -

I'm not going to lie, I'd be a little miffed if 'Taker wasn't down with the idea, and I'm not sure why I feel that way. -
Things TNA Has Done That We Like
Zakk_Sabbath replied to Web Conn's topic in FEDS JUST TRYING TO MAKE A BUCK
The way Don West says "You heard me!" at about 0:26 in the video above is actually pretty awesome. I love the way he goes with the hard S's in "You've been to my houssssse. Our wivesss are best friendsss." "You didn't have the ballsss" the same way he did when he would be yelling about "GEM MINT ROOKIESSSSS" -

I know this is going back a couple pages, but just talking about prospective wrestler movies/biopics, has anyone heard any news on that series that The Rock was supposedly developing for HBO centering on the '70s? I think it would be a really, really cool way to tell stories about real backstage happenings without naming names. Kind of how Law & Order does those "ripped from the headlines" stories. -

I guess that's a good point. Maybe Pillman/Badd Blood IYH would be a better example? I was 9 years old, and that was my first wrestler death. But it's not my immediate thought when I think of, say, HIAC 1. I dunno, it was just food for thought. -

I'm not sure that this is the right thread for this, but I was thinking about this at work earlier, and wanted to run it by you guys. It might even be too early for this kind of thinking, but: Years from now, does this WM get overshadowed by Warrior's death? Granted, it was a couple days afterward, but I can't help but feel that the two things will be forever associated. But on the other hand, we got some HUGE moments with Hogan/Rock/Austin's promo, Bryan's wins, the streak ending, Cesaro's possible ascension, and some of the further events on Monday. -

Look, I know I'm new at posting here, but I've been lurking for 9 years and I'm going to knowingly break the rules by live posting (RIPPA and company, please forgive me): -

I'm surprisingly ok with that. let her do something to justify that fat ass paycheck. -
Nothing concrete, but I've seen a few reports that Undertaker was taken to the hospital after the match. Hacksaw Jim Duggan seems to be the only semi-credible source so far, with a tweet stating "Taker may b hurt!!!! hope not." But there are some on Reddit, who are in town, claiming a lot of crazy things.

I checked my Yahoo college basketball bracket last night, and noticed Punk was the #1 trending topic. Kinda made me think he might show up tonight. -
That Taker-Brock match did exactly what Jake was talking about in his HOF speech last night: it fucked with my emotions. I honestly didn't know I could still be that invested in anything in wrestling. The match itself was pretty underwhelming, to be honest, but I was absolutely shocked by the finish.

Wow that's a really, really great promo. I like the little nod to his daddy being a Captain, as well. I saw this as a related video, and expected another creepy promo... ... but it turns out Bray is just a bro who loves state fairs and fishing. -
I thought the last two albums were mostly garbage, but I have high hopes for Catacombs for some odd reason. He did do one of the better cover songs I have ever heard in the past year, and I have been listening to a lot of 1919 Eternal era BLS recently. So that may have a lot to do with it. I thought OOTB was a huge improvement over Shot to Hell and Mafia, so my hopes are high as well. Are you talking about Ain't No Sunshine as being one of the better covers you've ever heard, or did I miss one somewhere along the way?

I'm watching Raw best-of tonight and saw an Owen/Taka/Headbangers vs. Los Boricuas from the night after RR 98. I'm sitting here mindboggled, thinking "I remember the DX promo, I remember Tyson.. why don't I remember this match occurring?" And then, like a ton of bricks, it hit me: oh, I was probably watching Nitro. Like, it never occurred to me that the old Monday Nights were even a thing. It bummed me out man.

It seems like you guys have some pretty sophisticated taste 'round here (what else is new!) but has anyone tasted the new Zakk Wylde? The harmony part of the solo is pretty sweet, but the rest of the song is kinda meh. I enjoyed the last album a lot, but in actuality, I think the whole BLS thing kinda peaked around The Blessed Hellride (I'll be generous and say that there are some decent cuts on Mafia, if only because that was probably the height of my fandom):

Hysterical. I've gotta wonder WHY that lady is "never having wrestling in (her) fucking house again!" Is she tired of the kids dropping big elbows off the dresser into the couch cushion ring, or is the husband just a little too into Layla? -
MARCH WRESTLING DISCUSSION THREAD
Zakk_Sabbath replied to RIPPA's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
I love everything about this post. I've been catching up on '93 via the network, and now I'm really pissed off none of this happened. And FWIW, I thought Savage had some okay-to-decent matches in '98. I don't think he was outright bad until that team with Sid. But even that was fun as hell, for all the wrong reasons, naturally. I remember that whole bit where he brought a bucket of shit to the ring but then Nash had a contortionist in a duffel bag dump it on Savage instead. It's even funnier when you consider that the WWF was building to the Taker/Austin rematch and I think that Rock/HHH strap match or iron man match (cant remember which) by this point. -
MARCH WRESTLING DISCUSSION THREAD
Zakk_Sabbath replied to RIPPA's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
What's the maximum time allowed between matches? Because if there's no statute, I have to go with Hogan/Warrior '98. Not that the first was a technical classic, but hoooooooly shit -
Oh my gosh, I totally forgot about that guy. One minute, he'd be talking about Kurt Angle or whatever, and the next he would launch into this whole deal about how they changed the dosage on his meds and instead of sleeping, he would just sit upright in a chair for eight hours thinking and being really depressed.

I've told the story here before, but I got linked to there by a banner ad on ECW's old website as a 9 year old, and that's how I found out it was all a work. So pissed off my stepdad was right.
