I know that's a joke, but yes. Especially if he busts out the butcher smock.
And pig mask ... bump the sheep mask.

Can someone tell me what the deal with Freight Train and 5 Dollar wrestling is? I checked Google and could not get a clear answer.
Im on the fence as to how "in on it" Freight Train is. Sometimes I watch it and feel sorry for him and think Jake and Colt are dicks for poking fun at him.
Sometimes I watch it and think, Im being worked here, he's totally in on the joke. Then I cant decide if he's either the greatest actor or the worst wrestler.
Cant believe Vader Junior has been released. Wonder if Big Poppa Vader will get a Tweet to attend Raw next week! They also released that weird looking Irish guy after like 1 month!
I've worked with Freight Train before, and I always got the impression that he knew what was going on. He's just so happy to be there, it doesn't really matter to him. He loves wrestling, he's having a blast, and I never once got the feeling he thought he was being taken advantage of. Jake loves the guy, FWIW. He's with him at all times, and makes sure he's taken care of in the ring.
Then, there's that part where, if he ended up on Raw tomorrow, we'd all be thinking, "You sold out! You sold out!"
*J/k; I've always hated that retarded ass chant. "You can take better care of your family! For that you fucking suck!"

I'd be all for Baby Vader taking over the recast roll of The Miz.
I feel like this is where I should start introducing my new wrestling meme: "CHIKARA'd!"
It probably won't take off, but neither did "KHADAFI'd!" so I'm only as much a failure at meme-making as Daniel Tosh.0.

Lil Vader needs to go get some experience in Japan. Look what it's done for Harry Smith.
He wrestled a some matches with his old man there in Zero-1 and the Vader Time shows.
I wasn't expecting much when I saw his FCW look:
He looks like a hitchhiker that's about to rape you.
He looks like a Miz cosplayer.
Judas wept, doesn't he though?!??!

I would take a plain mask and add a unique emblem or logo to it. I did that for a vest I always wear. I want to make a mask, but money is never freed up.
The route I'm going is getting someone to buy the material to my specifications. That way, I might be able to squirrel away enough to do something of my own.
My last post is on the cusp, though, of inspiring me to kill all other responsibilities, for the sake of firing up the N64 and running a No Mercy CAW best of 7 between El Rejeccione and Stone Cold Steve Autism. The wrestling would probably be so-so (**1/2 at best), but the promos would be fucking a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

Hey guys (and some gals, maybe):
Really could use some help and feedback. I've lately been tasked by a friend to make his son a lucha mask. His key instructions are: He wants it to be cool-looking, and he wants it to be original. Which means that pre-existing character masks are off-limits; explicitly he wants a novelty Halloween item for this year, but then for other mortality/morbid reasons, he wants something to hang onto for a conversation piece, memorial type thing (I've been a bit sick as of late, then a lot of people around me have tendencies to freak out to extremes).
Jeez, all that to say this: what goes in to making a good mask? The best are either extremely well designed and ornate, or extremely spartan in design. I'm going with a Santo mask as a template, but then, what the hell? Tailor something toward the personality of the wearer, go with mythology, or ...? I've spent all weekend looking at color theory, as well as tiki mythology for inspiration.
Shit's more difficult than you'd think, this "art" stuff. I could just make an Ultimo Dragon mask with some different pattern, but now, that half-assing shit won't do.
Anyway, it's a thing I'd like some insights into, so anyone putting in their two cents, I'll be appreciative. I won't be all El Rejecione if this thing post collects dust here 'til October, either; I should do my own work ...

There's one with Riker face-palming as well.
Just saying, coulda done a smidgen better ...

I just envisioned a new millennial Schoolhouse Rocks type of PSA-via-entertainment, and one stars special guest DMX, and it starts off: "GRAMMAR! YOU THINK IT'S A GAME? YOU THINK IT'S A FUCKIN GAME?!??! *RAWF RAWF RAWF*"
I think that would go over well, in the era of social media.

"What," with a side of "huh?" Maybe for dessert, I'll try the "... the fuck?" She did this? I missed this news. Is ... is it creepy for me to hope she put it around her tailbone region?
It's much less tacky than it could be.
Oh, and the short answer is that everyone in wrestling is a mark with the sole exception of Kevin Nash, and even he can be bought with a well-cut sports jacket.
Another thought: Glad she won on a date that doesn't fall under that mm/dd/yyyy vs. dd/mm/yyyy hoolabaloo.

Well, shit, apparently Frankenstein's Monster was a wrestler AND a mark, then.

Since there is no ppv thread, thoughts on the main event tonight?
Hank dies, Jessie turns heel, and Walter finds the cure for cancer.
... is a bullet to his temple.

A 10-bear tag match would be pretty sweet.
... And reason enough to put Stephen Colbert in a paranoia-induced coma.
Since we're talking about Okada now, can I just mention how shitty the Rainmaker is? It's a fucking short clothesline. If it were a setup for something (a la Jake Roberts) that'd be one thing, but as a finisher I don't like it.
And yes, I realize lariats are a much bigger deal in Japan than the US, but still.
A short-arm clothesline isn't a lariat; your dislike remains justified.
Posted this originally in the Dave Meltzer thread by accident. Sorry!
Any how.
In regard to the "mark" talk & all the A.J. Lee on commentary discussion that came up in the RAW thread: I'm really attracted to A.J. Lee, so I feel I'm biased when a discussion about her comes up as I tend to side more with whatever paints her in a better light. I thought the picture of her crying when she got her own WWE T-Shirt was adorable.
That being said, tattooing the date of her title win, I think, is a bit excessive. Not just for her but for any wrestler that would do that.
"What," with a side of "huh?" Maybe for dessert, I'll try the "... the fuck?" She did this? I missed this news. Is ... is it creepy for me to hope she put it around her tailbone region? All kinds of weird feelings, for every new relationship she ever has, ever (I know that assumes a lot about Ms. Lee, but, hey, I knew a girl who tattooed her first name on her lower back, so ... I forgot my point ... I know there is one; can y'all work that out for yourself? ... SSRI withdrawal, thou art a mother of fuckers.)

Honestly thought this was going to be under the ...Of the Day subfolder.
Legit LOL'd (LLOL?).

... And I think Wargames 2000 is 100 times better than Wargames 1998, which is legitimately one of the worst matches I have ever seen.
Yes. That was fucking terrible, what I saw of it. I didn't even watch it, as I made my way through the set, because (since I hadn't seen it before) I already guessed the ending. To wit - a match for a World title shot, where the announcers cite, "9 of the world's best wrestlers," consisting of Nash, Hogan, Hart, Piper, Page, Warrior, Sting, Luger ... and fucking Stevie Ray. A Star Trek away team red shirt scenario if ever I saw one. Once I asked myself, "I wonder who pins Stevie Ray?" I realized I didn't give a shit.

Finished the WarGames set, which ended with the WarGames 2000 match, and ... my god.
Out of context, with no clear reference to angles in play for that thing ... what a piece of shit. If there were 10 different moves done during the entire thing, you'd probably have to be rounding up to the nearest 10. At the end of the thing, I was almost offended ... bordering on pissed off at myself(!) ... for having been put through that. Definitely not a clusterfuck that can exist well in the vacuum of retrospect.
When even your announcers make note of the absurdity of a premise that establishes the point of a wrestler having to scale to the top of three stacked cages to unhook a title, ladder match style, only to have the entire effort undone by first descending through the three cages and then escape the bottom cage - the bottom cage where an opponent can simply wait (having never scaled out of the first cage to begin with) and rob any wrestler of the title and then escape the cage himself ... what an offensive gimmick. Not Katie Vick offensive, not half-black half-white Roddy Piper offensive, but sensibility offensive. And, where serious pro wrestling scholarship is concerned, that's probably (arguably) the worst type of "offensive" there is.

You think being hot is a requirement for me wanting to fuck someone? Please....
So, you're saying the corpse doesn't even have to be warm?
Curling irons are RIGHT THERE.

I did the yes thing in my lecture a couple of weeks back in Intro Psych. Even the pretty ladies was hip to the jive, pointing in the air and everything.

Jim Ross is retiring today.
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross announced that he is retiring from WWE today, after 20 years of service, to focus on his personal business endeavors.
Jim has had a long and storied career at WWE, both on the corporate staff as well as his television persona, calling some of the most memorable matches in WWE history as the voice of Monday Night Raw and SmackDown for more than two decades. He made his debut with WWE at WrestleMania IX in 1993 and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007 by his long-time friend “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
Jim has made many contributions to WWE and the sports-entertainment industry, and we thank him for his many years of service and wish him well.
When asked for comment, Triple H said it was "best for business".
SHOT!

Aw, I didn't see this so if I step on someone's shine I apologize:
Comic writers take over booking wrestling.
Then, Pillman, Guerrero and Benoit come back.
... now I'm bummed.

I wonder what a Warren Ellis TNA would be like. Other than the most fucking awesometacular .8 rated wrestling show EVAR!!!

I want a 3MB and 3 Count feud where the winner gets to keep the number 3.
Tank Abbott interferes and breaks his green square over McIntyre's head to give 3 Count the win and then we get a Behind The Music-style documentary about the break up of 3MB where it ends with McIntyre getting kicked out of the group and turning face. Then Slater compares himself and Mahal to duos like Simon & Garfunkel, Hall & Oates, and Elvis & Costello. Then they do a "Who's On First" bit where Mahal tries to correct Slater and tell him he's thinking of Abbott & Costello and Slater tells him he doesn't want to mess with Tank Abbott anymore.
Entrance music: Vince buys the rights to use De La Soul's "The Magic Number." "Three, that's the magic number/ Yes it is/ It's the magic number/ Somewhere in this sports entertainment community/ was born 3 - Heath, Drew and me, it's the magic number (wikka wikka what does it all mean)*"
*Assumes Jinder Mahal is on the mic.

I think these TV writers are a waste of time, and comic book writers would really get the eyeballz.

I'm digging the War Games DVD set, but I'm curious, what's the quickest way to get fucked up via drinking game irresponsibility:
1. A shot for every nut shot?
2. A shot for every DDT?
3. A shot for every time a fresh entry on the face team comes off an Irish whip & clotheslines two heels simultaneously?
Either way, 5 matches into the set would fuck you up to your soul.

Sept Wrestling Jibber Jabber Thread

Because the board has a problem with us establishing health self-esteem; it doesn't want us to "like" ourselves.
Some of you - *ahem* - would have unnecessarily inflated "board statuses." You know I'm right.
One other thought occurred to me, as an extension of the HOSS/ possibility of Lesnar-Taker at Mania: I may be alone here, but I have thought, since his return, that Lesnar wouldn't be such a horrendous promo, if they were to allow him to swear. Taker comes out for the inevitable "who you got for 30;" he does the whole, "No one's left." BWOWOWOWOWOW ... dunh dunh, dunh, dunh dunh DUNH ... Lesnar out, circles Taker two or three times, then just flatly says, "Are you fucking blind?" Far better than any "do you feel that feeling you're feeling, 'cause I feel it too," mushmouth "heeba deeba mooba boobins" bullshit he was going for earlier this year.
