LooseCannon Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Is the Chicago Raw next week? Three hours of the crowd highjacking that show might worth tuning in for the entire three hours. I'm sure Vince and Co have got to have some kind of plan for that, right? No, next week's Raw hails from Green Bay, Wisconsin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Was the Ron Simmons title switch before or after the Hank Aaron incident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 the actual Torch Talk in question was from 1991, but Mark Madden narced Watts out to Hank Aaron around early 93, months after Ron Simmons won the title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 By which point Watts had had enough anyway. Say, this is interesting: Doug Gilbert and Sir Mo (WWE's Men on a Mission) worked the 2/15 Ripley Championship Wrestling (RCW) card at the Power Pro Arena in Ripley, TN. I was under the impression that Mo was in pretty bad shape these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I think everyone needs to stop fantasy booking interference in a cage match Why? There is often interference in WWE's biggest name cage matches: HBK-Undertaker, Austin-McMahon, etc. etc. I could see if people were fantasy-booking blood or something that will never happen, but interference in a WWE cage match is pretty common. More to the point, the Elimination Chamber door gets opened up whenever someone gets eliminated. Also, someone can just climb up through the grating. I know what they should do Sunday... During the intros, Orton enters first and goes into his pod. Bryan is next and goes into his pod. Cesaro out next and into his pod. Zeb and Swags come to the ring with him. Sheamus comes out and thumps his chest and fellas around and ends up jawing with Swagger. Christian is out next and THE MONSTER MENG! comes out of the crowd and beats the hell out of Christian. Sheamus goes out to the floor to help but Swagger attacks him and then BUNKHOUSE BUCK! comes out riding on a bear and Christian and Sheamus are left laying. Bunkhouse and the bear go into the Chamber and Bunkhouse tries to enter into Sheamus' pod. Vickie Guerrero comes out with a lipstick stained Colonel Parker and she gives the thumbs up to the refs and they officially allow Bunkhouse and the bear into the match. Orton is going nuts because he's been ducking Bunkhouse Buck for years. Bryan is amped because he really wants to wrestle a bear. Zeb is going crazy because he thinks the bear is Canadian. Match starts with the bear and Cena. Cena runs like a bitch and he also tries to avoid the bear until Bunkhouse Buck enters and kicks Cena straight in the dick and the bear takes Cena down and pins him. Bryan in next and the bear easily tosses him around and pins him. Orton is in next and Buck punches him in the dick and then kicks him in the head and eliminates him. New champ guaranteed now. Cesaro in and he tries to swing the bear but the bear swings him instead and pins him. Meng forces the refs to keep the cage door open and the Colonel tells the bear to leave but then the lights go out and when they come back on, The Wyatt Family are in the ring and the bear has Buck covered. 1, 2, 3. The bear is the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion! Bray Wyatt puts his hat on the bear's head and also gives him a jug to drink out of and then he announces the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion to the audience as BEAR WYATT! So at WrestleMania it's "Animal vs. Animal" with Batista challenging Bear Wyatt for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and a six-man tag team war with The Wyatt Family vs. The Real Americans and Bunkhouse Buck. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Doug Gilbert and Sir Mo (WWE's Men on a Mission) worked the 2/15 Ripley Championship Wrestling (RCW) card at the Power Pro Arena in Ripley, TN. I was under the impression that Mo was in pretty bad shape these days. they had a benefit show to help pay for Sir Mo's kidney transplant in November. I'm not sure if Mo is actually wrestling, but guess who is working soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Was Simmons even a big star at the time? He was pushed, but not so much you would have predicted a world title reign was in his immediate future. That happened a LOT in 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Simmons had main evented Halloween Havoc against Lex Luger for the World title the year before, so he was at least an upper midcarder in the grand scheme of things. It'd be like if say....Dolph Ziggler or Kofi Kingston won the title on a house show this week or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if Mo is actually wrestling, but guess who is working soon? Je Jerry has worked a handful of matches for Northern Mississippi indies last year. Sir Mo has been doing a few matches the past year. One was for EPW that runs North MS and they also use Bill Dundee all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yeah, i've heard that Lawler is still working, which seems kinda ridiculous since i'd think the WWE pays him pretty well for essentially 3 hours a week of work and then he's going out and doing that on his weekends for some extra money. But hey, freedom of choice and all. There's certainly a lot of post-heart attack people who are probably living a riskier lifestyle until this next heart attack I'm hoping that the Sir Mo matches are tag matches and that a guy on Kidney Dialysis isn't working anything too grueling.

Big Fresh Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 It's just unsafe for Jerry to be wrestling anymore. I wish, for his own safety, WWE would tell him to stop taking bookings if he wants to remain employed by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish, for his own safety, WWE would tell him to stop taking bookings if he wants to remain employed by them. granted, he'd take even more indy bookings if they fire him for refusing to stop wrestling indies. Not sure who has the leverage here. I wonder how many of the people booking Jerry Lawler to wrestle are long-time buddies of his where Lawler is taking bookings to help his buddies make some extra money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Is this "Change Time" thing a company John Cena has started? He's constantly pimping it on Twitter. It's his fitness routine deal.

goc Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I like how many qualified doctors we have in here to assess the health of Jerry Lawler. I'm sure his own doctors couldn't do a better job of diagnosing whether or not he can return to wrestling. I guess you guys would REALLY be upset to hear that Lawler blames his heart attack on Dolph Ziggler drilling him with 10 elbow drops in that match he had on Raw and not on any diet or lifestyle choices.

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Haven't been on in a while, but I would just like to say that this Shield/Wyatts fued is awesome. I would actually order this Sunday's PPV to see that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Also part of trying to make The Omni "the MSG of the South" iirc, by having the title change there instead of on ppv or what not. Right. Watts did a couple other title changes like that to make the house shows seem more important. I can't really get over how Bischoff was the only one who understood Turner wanted ratings not house show numbers, another example of Watts being out of touch. With that said, I remember being excited about Simmons title win because of how surprising it was. Athletically Simmons had it but no way should he have been put in a position to carry a company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Sir Mo matches are tags. I think last year he tagged with Bill Dundee against Brian Christopher and Anton Leveigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
