Cobra Commander Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 as for Alexa Bliss, while I know wrestlers don't have to tell us every detail, it's surprising there aren't more cases of skin cancer with how much tanning/spray-tanning goes on to look good for TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I'm just waiting for the inevitable tweet and/or radio segment from Bubba Dumb Dudley about how Rhea's in the wrong. He was one of the ones who attacked Sasha Banks over the same late night airport nonsense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogwelder Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Speaking of Alexa Bliss, Spoiler she was one of the contestants tonight on Masked Singer, but got voted off after her first appearance. So that at least partly explains why she's been off TV for the past few weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great example as to why said wrestler was carrying a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 And if I understand the Sonya story correctly, her weapon is licensed in Florida but it was found in her car's glove compartment at a hotel/convention in New Jersey. It's amazing, to my memory, one of these airport stalkers hasn't been assaulted yet by a celebrity, be it wrestler or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like a legal mess that you don't want to be involved with and possibly being banned from boarding flights. That's probably why. It's also why wackos feels safe stalking people there (see TMZ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I think it would have to greatly escalate for airport security to intervene. I wouldn't think they would want to be personal security for celebrities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 so I was watching Brian Zane’s review of WrestleMania 13 and I realized I’ve never watched Bret/Austin before. Yeah, yeah, I know. But that leads me to an interesting topic: what are some matches that people consider classics and/or required viewing that you’ve never seen? Or don’t want to because of someone involved? I’ve also never watched the Razor/HBK ladder match or the Iron Man match between Bret/Shawn (or the Montreal Screwjob outside of clips). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Sasha/Mercedes as much as anyone but She already has a reputation for being rude to fans so you can't blame him for attacking her. Rhea doesn't have that reputation and I think Bubba and his peers are fans of her work as far as I know. Sasha is held in the highest regard as a worker but even her biggest fans within the business have no issues acknowledging her track record with fans even though she probably has the most creepiest and obsessive fans of all the women in the industry overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Hero Morganti Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I've not gone out of my way to watch most of the legendary puro matches of guys like Misawa or Kobashi.

I think a lot of it is because at some point, stuff started running together and I am not entirely sure if I seen it or not based on the year. Pre coronavirus New Japan was starting to get up there for awhile. I just got to a point where I refuse to watch all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre coronavirus New Japan was starting to get up there for awhile. I just got to a point where I refuse to watch all of it. During COVID I bought a 20 disc set of 90s All Japan (100 matches total) ranked by Meltzer’s star ratings from 4.5 - 4.75 - 5 - 6. Starts with Kobashi/Akiyama from July 24th 1998 and ends with Misawa/Kawada from June 3rd, 1994. Needless to say I haven’t made it out of the first disc. It’s an overwhelming amount of stuff. The guy on Etsy does A LOT of comp DVDs. He has a similar set of AJW for $40 (and a CM Punk AEW set collecting his >1 year run with them for $20).

I similarly have never caught the Montreal screwjob match outside of clips. Most of the classics I never caught are Japan related. There is a bunch of AJW & AJPW matches from the 80s & 90s I never caught. Its even worse with NJPW where I have seen none of the UWF/NJPW feud and very little of the 90s junior stuff out of the J Cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 My problem is all the stuff I've watched over 30+ years, especially Japanese stuff and having a concise memory. Outside of something like seeing Liger do the SSP for the first time or the Toyota haircut match, everything kind of a blurry time soup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Liger, I just went back and watched 3 of the 4 matches Liger and Sano had (the Thunderstruck match w/ the SSP is the one from January 1990). However, based on the website you go to, one is mislabeled. It's easy to figure out which one is which based on the IWGP Jr. title history. The SSP one is on the same card as the pre Camp Cornette team of Vader (Big Van Vader) and Yokozuna (then Great Kokina) challenge Masa Saito and Hashimoto for the IWGP tag team titles. The other ones are from the year prior. Of course, if it's on a comp then it's a bit tougher obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 When I got my first comp tape in 1991/2, it had the 3 Liger/Sano matches, presumably in the correct order. It's probably in the house still, somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
