Curt McGirt Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just now, The Comedian said: Put him in charge of talent acquisition too and maybe he can get Bojack and Calvin Tankman on the roster by Mania ... I think our vision of "meaty men" is a little different than E's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Would sending Okada to the PC to learn how to work in the WWE rings and the like be seen as the same “disrespect” as sending him to NXT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Pretty sure Taz is Italian. His last name is Senerchia, which sounds like it's Italian. Most definitely does not sound Portuguese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfrey Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Senerchia is a place in Italy too, maybe his family got Corleone'd when they arrived in New York Edit: Jinx! Edited January 26 by Godfrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 yeah I doublechecked just in case there was a possibility that Taz was Arbereshe. In the spirit of the YouTube commenters who think John Cena is actually Albanian and not Italian due to the number of Albanian people in Southern Italy who would get counted as Italian at Ellis Island.

Cobra Commander Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 the timeline wouldn't have worked due to Tenta still being in WCW in late 1996, but i'm just imagining John Tenta getting the Bill Irwin "Goon" gimmick and working in the WWF in a Hockey jersey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I don't know if I've typed this on here before but John Tenta really is a guy that if Mid-South had lasted just a little bit longer, Tenta probably gets to spend some time working there based off of his LSU experience I could imagine John Tenta vs Dr. Death being a match that Bill Watts would want to run but those two were never in the same place for any real length of time. Tenta did wrestle Dr. Death once. In a 2002 Tag League match of Mike Rotundo and Dr. Death vs Tenryu and John Tenta. A match which went 6 minutes and is probably more of a novelty since all 4 of those guys were old by the time that November 29th, 2002 rolled around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Randy Couture is old enough where he could have wrestled in college, graduated, and wrestled for Don Owen when Portland was still doing decent business. That's absurd that he was still fighting as of 2011. Instead, he went into the Army, tried his hand at making the U.S. wrestling team a few times, and then went to college in the late 80s/early 90s. Couture and Tenta were born on the exact same day in the exact same year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenta would've been Cowboy's wet dream if we was a few years younger. Big, young, agile dude with a local connection? Could have been huge.

Could have been huge. considering that Tenta got hooked into Sumo in 1985, there was a window for him to have been in Mid-South but I could see why Watts would be busy with a variety of other things causing him to lose sight of guys located in Louisiana. This being Bill Watts, i'm sure he bemoaned LSU dropping Wrestling due to Title IX on commentary sometime in 1985 during the standby match. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bullshit, during an episode of Mid South in 1982 during like a Princess Victoria/Wendi Richter match, guest commentator BOB ROOP was talking about women's equality and how women should be treated as real athletes. IN 19 FUCKING 82. BOB ROOP: PIONEER AND ALLY 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
