jayhawk_in_cny Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Was Gordon Solie gay? His wives probably didn't think so. He was Mormon? Divorced and remarried. Though this makes me wonder why no one has done a heel Mormon character that comes to the ring with 16 wives and preaches about purity. Thanks for nothing, Attitude Era. When I was a teenager, during the time that Right To Censor was active, the apartment complex that I lived in had a group of Mormon missionaries living in it. When in public, they ALWAYS were dressed in an outfit nearly identical to RTC. Once I came home from school to have my mom tell me that "the Right To Censor look-a-likes" had visited.

jstout Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 OK, had this little thought earlier, wanna bounce it off the intelligentsia: Most successful shouldn't-have-worked-on-paper push in wrestling history: ECW-era Taz. He was 4-foot-2 and Heyman somehow booked him like a killing machine and it worked. You book a hyoooge dude as a killing machine and it works, you're not exactly a genius. You book a big ol' dude to be GOLDBERG~! and you're not exactly a genius. "Win a lot, with an awesome-looking finisher. How do you feel about snorting pyro smoke, kid?" But to take an Oompa-Loompa and make him the wrecking ball of your promotion is something else entirely. I don't care if you loved ECW, hated it, thinks it stands the test of time, don't think it does, doesn't matter. I'm just talking the sheer improbability of it.

Bustronaut Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 They really need to have a Papa Shango appearance somewhere at Mania, whether it be one of the surprise entrants to ARMBaR or in a backstage skit (#BadNewsBarrett tells all these legends that they don't have time for them and then gets cursed by Shango?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidKash202 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Brand new respect for the Bellas. They said they used to sneak to SHIMMER cards just to see how great women wrestlers got the job done. Interview with Rosenberg that I posted a few pages back needs to be listened to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyJ Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 So, last night I was browsing the internets and came across a Piper/Ventura pilot from the early 90s called Tagteam. It stars Piper/Ventura as two retired wrestlers who become cops. The whole thing is on youtube. Am I the only one who didn't know this existed?

Josh Mann Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Jesse cryptically referenced the pilot during Mania 6. It was ok, but it's no "Lockwell". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I don't know about you guys, but it's weirdly hard for me to leave the bubble and get into the larger outer smark bubble. Just Rosenberg mentioning all the problems he has with John Cena's ringwork or (and this makes me a horrible person) having the belt signed by Shawn and Bret sort of made me groan. I think it's because we've gone through all these discussions over the years and it's sort of hard to insert yourself back into a point before those.

Yeah, but the rest of the ECW roster wasn't exactly towering over him at the time. It also helps that he was intentionally dropping people on their heads. But I see your point.

The Natural Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I was thinking back to when I watched Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena from SummerSlam 2013 in the early hours of the morning as the show aired and how shocked I was with the ending, Bryan drilling Cena with THAT knee for a clean win and the WWE Championship. Another of mine was John Cena making Triple H tap out to the STFU at WrestleMania 22. The camera did well catching fans faces of disbelief to it. Which match endings surprised you?

They actually did a Piper/Ventura vs. Orient Express match at the LA Sports Arena so they'd have some wrestling footage for that. I remember reading that result in the back of PWI and being all WTF?

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I will be disappointed if Punk shows up at Mania during either of the main events as its been speculated. The matches don't need the fuckery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyJ Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Knowing how WWE creative operates, I could totally see Punks music hitting during the main event when Bryan is on the verge of being defeated after being ganged up on by Batista/Orton all match. Batista/Orton momentarily forget they are in the main event of wrestlemania and stair like morons at the titantron. Bryan comes to and does a double rollup, simultaneously pinning Batista/Orton. Then when Bryan's rocket ship doesn't take off due to the fluky finish, HHH can make shooty comments about how Bryan pinned HHH, Orton and Batista in one night and still couldn't get over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Can we build to a Punk/AJ wedding at SummerSlam this year and redo the "Mega Powers" over the following year with Punk and Bryan eventually going at it at Mania 32? Not enough likes in existence for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 That plan involves too much C.M. Punk for me to like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
