ultimoDANK Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 "Beat me if you can, survive if I let you" is the fucking best catch phrase.Maybe my favorite promo ever is Taz after he took out Sabu for Douglas only to take the title shot. It was in NYC and the crowd went apeshit. Taz said beat me if you can and the crowd finished. Dropped the mic and walked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 "Beat me if you can, survive if I let you" is the fucking best catch phrase.You know, for years, that phrase has never really sense to me. If I can beat you, then clearly I survived, so does that mean if I beat you, you'll be so pissed that you might not let me survive? Well, then, who's a sore loser? I used to think that, if it were actually TWO separate sentences, then maybe each independent declaration existed on its own. But nooo ... I bet you try to parse meaning from Ultimate Warrior promos, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you provide sentence diagrams of famous pro wrestling catchphrases? I'd like to know the hidden meaning of "You either love it or you don't love it but it's the best thing going today."

If you beat me, you beat me because you could... but the reason you had the chance to beat me is because I let you survive. Also, it's possible that you could beat me (say, 1% chance)... but I decided not to let you survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 and here's a St. Louis-area news story on the choir from last night.

Lawful Metal Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm disappointed Hawk didn't make the list. He's the only one that said that their opponents better hope for spontaneous human combustion instead of getting in the ring with the road warriors.

mattdangerously Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 "Beat me if you are able to beat me, but regardless of the outcome, it is entirely up to my discretion vis a vis your ability to continue living" wouldn't fit on a t-shirt. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Ladue High School? Ritzy! Bray got to the bored rich kids and played on their nihilistic ennui. Note: If I was one of these kids, I would already have an IMDB page set up for myself.

Big Fresh Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 There are lots of reasons to hate Ladue. So weird that I'm having this conversation about my old high school rivalries on this board when I'm 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 well "what high school did you go to?" is apparently a common question in STL.

Hoffman Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 If they needed local STL kid singers, they should have brought in the Muny Kids. They're musical theatre children, they don't even need cult leaders and sheep masks to be creepy and obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
