    Ooh! Ooh!

    That can be what the bring Sting in for.

    Special Guest Enforcer of War Games!

    he'll handle the coin flip to determine which team has the advantage.

     

    Leading up to the first time the faces ever won a WarGames coin flip

     

     

    Only for the entire face team to turn on him.

  2. I'm out of touch. From an interest level and just an overall entertainment level, it doesn't come in the top half of Wrestlemania's. Taker losing the streak was a total TNA move.

    A total TNA move would have had Taker's streak end with the opening of a briefcase following a run-in by five wrestlers, Jenna Morasca, and a midget with a handgun.

  3. Explain to me how Kofi Kingston gets heat on anyone without it looking the most fake. I need this explanation. 

    Eyepokes. Backrakes. Bootscrapes. Pulling the hair. Pulling the trunks. Punches while in a headlock. Foreign objects. Using the ropes. Low blows while the ref is distracted. Manager interference. Stalling for time. Begging off.

     

    Heel stuff.

  4. yeah, between there being a move called the "Tombstone Piledriver" for the Undertaker to use, and Paul Bearer being a mortician, things just fell in place for the Undertaker gimmick, didn't they?

     

    although the people on my bus back in 7th grade (1998/99) were pretty sure that the Undertaker also used the Death Valley Driver

    Possibly because they used to bill him from Death Valley?

  5. I fully believe that *I* called it that in 1990. I've just never heard it called that in a match proper before 1994. 

     

    Did they call it that in the old WWF Superstars mag that came out every year?

    I wasn't really watching in 1994, but I've always known it as the Hart Attack so I must've heard it somewhere.

  6.  

    I can't think of a more disparate reaction I've had between two matches with the same guys in them. 

     

    HHH/Randy Orton (LMS No Mercy 07 vs. WM 25)

     

    Also, random observation... I was looking through the old NXT show lineups (when it was a competition), and although the winners flamed out big time, each of the first three seasons gave us a top tier star. The worked voting really couldn't have been much worse for picking future stars.

     

    Season 1: Wade Barrett - Daniel Bryan 

    Season 2: Kaval - Husky Harris/Bray Wyatt

    Season 3: Kaitlyn - AJ

     

    Season 4 continued the trend of retrospectively terrible winners (Johnny Curtis), but no one worth a damn came from that show either.

     

    I think Kaval's the only one who 'flamed out bigtime' out of the bunch. Kaitlyn was doing fine but decided wrestling wasn't for her, and Wade's still working a solid midcard act and can probably be rehabilitated into main event status if the old guard ever goes away.

     

    Roughly half of each season's roster is still around, which isn't bad I suppose.

  7. With Gorilla Monsoon and now Michael Cole always saying things like "Wrestler A  just hit Wrestler B with his PATENTED move", I always thought it would be funny for a guy to try to sue another guy for using a move they "patented".

    Not a lawsuit, but I remember a feud between Brian Kendrick and Jimmy Jacobs involved Kendrick complaining Jacobs had stolen the Sliced Bread #2 (or the Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A-Select-Start, as Jacobs called it.)

  8.  

    I've heard it's quite high. And avoid the SHIMMER after-parties at all cost. I've heard a mutual pal of ours Jerome Cusson bring this up.

    That's funny because the reason I brought it up is because I saw Victoria/Tara's restaurant is having an after party. And the reason I knew that is because I was thinking of checking that place out this weekend since it's not far from my house.

     

    It's too bad, I've watched a couple of shows and the wrestling is solid. I don't want to go by myself if it's perv central, and even though my wife would probably dig the show, I don't want to have to start stabbing dudes in the face for excessive leering.

     

    Can't Prazak do back ground checks or something?

     

    You do a background check, and nobody gets in.

  9. Tentacle porn needs more romance.

    To clarify, it's not porn. It's a movie about a mysterious squid who takes the wrestling world by storm, and may or may not be a wrestler who vanished long before.

     

    It's from the same fellow who directed Executive Koala.

  10. From the film The Calamari Wrestler.

    Apparently the squid is Nishimura and the octopus is Akira Nogami. Just looking at pictures it looks like it features an epic training montage too.

    It's an awesome movie, and has the most romantic squid/woman love scene I've ever seen.

  11.  

    his constant talk of PMA on Twitter (before he went silent) 

    What's PMA...Google has been no help.

     

    And, for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure he was smiling about fifteen seconds before they put his name-card up there.

     

    Positive Mental Attitude.

     

    I think that getting out of WWE will do wonders for him. I'm probably just projecting.

  12. That is a miserable man. It makes me sad.

     

    ETA: I realize it's a single screen shot, so I can't really judge. But as someone who battles clinical depression on a regular basis, I'm starting to wonder if he's got something similar going on. He up and left his job; by all accounts he's not really talking to his friends; and, if I may indulge in some armchair psychology, his constant talk of PMA on Twitter (before he went silent) strikes me as the behaviour of someone to whom a positive mental attitude don't come naturally.
