Hooks Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Arsenio has to be a fan. Back on his original show, he had a TON of wrestlers on. Hogan, Warrior, Rude and Heenan, Bad News Brown, Savage, etc. I SWEAR I remember there being a match on the show once. A ring set up on the stage.....and I want to say it was The Nasty Boys vs The Legion of Doom. I'm almost positive it happened, although a quick Google search (meaning I typed it in, glanced at the first page, then gave up) didn't turn up anything. Aw, man, was it Bossman that he asked, "What was it like when Hulk Hogan was whipping your ass?" then ran off like a Kenyan sprinter, laughing his ass off while Bossman stood there spinning the nightstick and calling him "boy?" Because that was awesome. 1
Hooks Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 One more, because I don't want to bomb the thread with videos. (If you search Arsenio Hall wrestling on YouTube, it brings up about 8 or 9 clips) But this is awesome because through the whole interview, you can tell Bad News is about an inch away from losing his composure and laughing, and really sells the finish of the interview awesomely. 1
RandomAct Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Its almost here Just in time for them to give us every ppv match ever for $10. 5
w. josh Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 So who's a better Ryan Leaf: Ken Doane or Rene Dupree? 1
ebbie Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Definitely guessing Nash/Goldberg will be on there. What do you have against Goldberg being taser'd?
RIPPA Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 Reports from tonight's NXT taping say they're confiscating Punk signs and trying to discourage people from chanting for him. Stress on "trying". Ok, I'm gonna go ahead and admit something. This is beginning to smell like a work. Our own Tim Evans was at the tapings and said in the NXT Thread Tonight's taping was pretty much all about CM Punk chants. They started right off the bat before the show even started. It started to die off as the show went on. About 3 signs were confiscated and some guy got thrown out for a little while. CRZ was also there and said the sign that got the guy tossed actually said "Bathroom Break Match"
w. josh Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 WWE at least caught a break by RAW being in Omaha next week. In a bigger/more rabid market, they'd have to just mute the crowd after 45 minutes of CM Punk and Daniel Bryan chants.
COLETTI Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I'm baffled... all the smarks are screaming for Punk, and if you dare to look at comments on ANYTHING WWE is posting right now (Facebook or otherwise), you get all these jackasses bitching and moaning that they won't watch the shows anymore and to bring back Punk. Shouldn't they be screaming at Punk, the one who packed his bag and went home? I only ask because I'm not sure how the world works anymore...

Spontaneous Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I hope he does comeback, because I preferred it when Punk was the voice of the voiceless whereas now I have to listen to what they actually have to say. It is very little. 9

If someone you generally liked and worked with got into a dispute with your mutual boss, would you side with your boss when he quit?
COLETTI Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Nah, I'd side with my buddy, slap him on the back and tell him if it's what he wants, good for him. I wouldn't walk into his old work and start a WE WANT DOUG chant. 9

I'm almost positive it happened, although a quick Google search (meaning I typed it in, glanced at the first page, then gave up) didn't turn up anything. The best was Savage and Zeus. Mach was, of course, Mach, but Arsenio also sold the fuck out of being afraid of Zeus. In reality, they would HAVE to had known each other since prior to Tiny Lister being an actor his previous gig was as Eddie Murphy's chief bodyguard.
cool arrow Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 It amused me when Roddy Piper (on PTW) asked if Arsenio's friends call him "Arse" for short.

Gonzalez Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Everybody here complaining about the Punk nerd rage needs to click here, and read what your reaction was to the Rumble.
Bustronaut Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I don't recall if it was here or somewhere else, but someone pointed to Punk leaving as a symptom of a larger burnout syndrome that people have been suffering since 2005 or whatever, and wondered why older stars didn't burn out like the new group was. Except, they did, they just jumped to WCW when they got burned out, took a breather, and came back to WWF a couple years later to bigger acclaim. 4
JRGoldman Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Can we call CM Punk the "Barry Sanders of professional wrestling" and get some mileage out of people going nuts with football analogies for other wrestlers? Is that you Mr. Simmons? If so, you have an entire staff to content farm shitty Grantland articles. You don't need us to do it for free.

Greggulator Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Austin was on Arsenio last night and talked about Punk. I think that's a huge tip-off right there.
scraylo187 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Austin was on Arsenio last night and talked about Punk. I think that's a huge tip-off right there. Saying 'was on Arsenio' immediately makes me struggle with the concept that Stunning Steve Austin was on the Arsenio Hall show and I don't understand why they sent some midcarder to do latenight instead of Sting or PN News 2
Patrick B. Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Hey, I have learned to accept that I'm wrong to like whatever it is I like in wrestling. That seems reasonable.
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Hey, I have learned to accept that I'm wrong to like whatever it is I like in wrestling. That seems reasonable. Have you learned that constantly repeating that talking point over and over again is boring? 1
