odessasteps Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I'm sure a big part of KENTA starting off in NXT is getting used to WWE rings, with the looser ropes and whatnot. And back to Cornette's racket - not sure if he did something special to them, but he used to get a helluva noise out of one of those things when he'd whack somebody with it - had to be part of the appeal. I thought that the announcers referred to it on at least one occasion as a "loaded" tennis racket. Again, never specified what it would have been loaded with, exactly, but I'm pretty sure I heard someone say that. Sometimes they said chain. Sometimes, "metal." Sometimes, the shoot answer "horseshoe." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I can't embed this, but it is amazing. Here you go: That is really Steen, isn't it (I haven't seen him for him for years). I didn't recognize him at first. If the WWE really signed him, I'm.... amazed. Somewhere, Chris Hero is looking at skinnyfat pics of himself and weeping (I assume there were more issues with Hero besides his gut). This comment about the photo made me laugh: Cy-kun @Captain_Cy_kun 19m@MATTHARDYBRAND @TiffyLockhart @FightSteenFight Matt's just glad to finally be standing next to someone who makes him look thin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Matt Hardy actually looks to be in pretty good shape there. Now I just saw a recent picture of Hero and it appears that he's drowning his Indy sorrows in pints of Ben & Jerry's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre013 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I can't embed this, but it is amazing. Hardy was doing his best work since Mattitude there. Now it's off to TNA and reliving the Hardy/Dudley feud ten years past it's shelf life. No idea why he's leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guess, internet conjecture, or you know that Hardy is getting double what he was getting paid by ROH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino_Not_Deuce Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I wish WWE would sign a guy that fat and revive the Norman the Lunatic gimmick. He can give Alicia Fox a painting and it can be smashed over his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bink_winkleman Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I think getting too old and soft, because I see that pic and my immediate thought is how bad I feel for that kid Hardy is making fun of. You know that pic was one of the highlights of his shitty existence, but then he saw that on Twitter and began a slow weep over his Baconater. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 He probably cleared it with the kid, I hope he did.If the internet has taught me anything, it is that middle school never ended and most people are bullying pricks at heart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Or maybe the fan in question thinks it's funny too and isn't an emotional wreck of a human being just because he's overweight? Lots of generalizing going on here over that photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I like to think that the fan was actually in good shape for most of his life, and Hardy has just been feeding him a steady diet of cheeseburgers and chili fries ever since the rumors of Steen signing with the WWE started, all for the sake of this one joke on Twitter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New most disturbing chant ever is a bunch of German dudes chanting "You're gonna get your fucking head kicked in!!" I think that started in America. And I'm pretty sure Bryan Danielson, of all people, was the one to start it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I think the thing with Dunn is that he shoots TV very well and the production is superb but when he starts chiming in on creative it tends to clash with the more forward thinking members of the team. I mean...with all the catfighting with former talent and insiders and what have you it's sometimes hard to think that a company that has had so much success and that has swallowed the industry whole has had so many people in key executive positions that are morons.
