Cristobal Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Twitter is Twitter, but there's more than simple pedantry going on here. Warrior's point was bullshit. Wrestlers aren't sports fans? I believe his point was you don't see wrestlers walking around with the Lombardi trophy but you do see other athletes rocking the Big Gold. And now you're the one talking bullshit.

Valcourt Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 The jersey argument is like saying "He wore a Tampa Bay Rays Hat!" From what I got from Warrior is when sports folks act like other genres, a basketball guy doesn't act like a football guy. They all act like wrestlers.

Cristobal Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Dude. You bitched about people "pretending not to know what he said" after pretending it was solely about the Lombardi Trophy and the WWE belt. Maybe you can't recognize you're full of shit, but I assure you it's quite apparent to the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerangedHermit Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Didn't we want weirdness for a Warrior speech? Next year, get rid of the comedy BS. The only comedy thing I marked out for was Kane ending Mr. T's speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valcourt Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Whatever, I think a lot of people are taking what he said way differently than how he meant it. This is why live chats don't work during shows. Also, I have no idea who the guy you referenced is. And I won't act like i do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I might be the only one but I loved Lita's speech, thought she was awesome all the way through with some entertaining stories. Long ass speeches is exactly what I wanted out of a finally uncut HOF and that absolutely delivered. She was nearing 40 minutes I think. Loved the bit with Arn and Rey, might have been my favorite of the night. DDP/Jake were great as well, Jake talking about coming around on life was good stuff. Absolutely loved the Jake-Steamboat moment. Mr T's was crazy but I felt bad for him getting run off without getting to finish properly and just left repeating "sorry". Kane was great speaking for Bearer and the Undertaker appearance was a fantastic small addition to the show. Bad News Barrett appearance got a big pop, he rules. Would've liked a lot more time for Razor to speak but it was still real good and the on stage Kliq reunion ruled. Loved Razor's closing line. Colon's was good and Carlito was funny. Warrior was a great way to close the show and I was glad he got all the time needed. Was hoping he'd talk more about his WM matches with Hogan and Savage but was cool to talk about the real early stuff in his career. Laughed out loud at Warrior saying no to thank you chants and getting Yes chants back at him. Good ending. The Ultimate Warrior IS a good guy and is now a legend in the Hall of Fame. Glad to see the well deserved induction, one of the ones I've always wanted to see most. Is that lady next to Cena a make a wish kid with the Benjamin Button disease or is it his grandma?

TheVileOne Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 It seemed like the Warrior jersey thing was him speaking metaphorically and making a point about athletes emulating pro wrestlers. That's why Twitter annoys me and should die forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 And he was explicitly saying that it's a one-way street, and that's patent nonsense. Ali's the most famous example, but there's plenty of others. Warrior got that wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 God damn. Jake's speech was something else. When that guy starts talking, you just get sucked in and hang on every word he says. Am I the only one who thought it seemed like they were going out of their way to not mention the Hardys by name until Lita finally mentioned them at the end?

Adam Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Don't know about you guys with your not loving it, but I thought the 3 and a half hour HOF was amazing. Even the hour long red carpet show before was really good, well worth watching. Undertaker showing up was great, given that he never appears on camera at these events. Everybody was good, albeit as some have stated, sort of long. One question I hope someone can answer, Lita was thrown off by the fans chanting when she revealed the mask she took from Mexico city, what were they chanting at her? There was a few seconds of something along the lines of 'PUT THE SCREEN BACK' couldn't put my finger on what they were talking about. Bad News Barrett was a welcome surprise and I hope he gets some love on the post Mania Raw show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
