SEPT WRESTLING DISCUSSION THREAD

[Peck]

Brock's always been a heavy sweater.

 

I vividly remember a 1991-ish PWI when they had the page of 6 Scouting Reports and one of Irwin R. Schyster's "weaknesses" was that he sweated a lot in his shirt and suspenders.

[Patrick B.]

Speaking of PWI, Daniel Bryan is #1 in this year's PWI 500.

[Tromatagon]

if you can't look at a picture of a guy and determine if he has a heart ailment.. how can you determine that?

Is he a great big fat person?

[Cobra Commander]

we might only be able to determine diabetes from pictures, not heart ailments

 

(i'm horrible)

 

So anyways.. what's the most preposterous thing about wrestling/WWE that could get repeated in a mainstream organ and then addressed by the WWE?

[E.J.]

The first Ultimate Warrior died, an they replaced him with a lookalike.

[PetrolCB]

And then the lookalike died, so they reanimated the original for his '96 comeback.

[Web Conn]

Then they slathered face paint on a roided up nut they found on the Venice Beach boardwalk for the WCW run.

[Raziel]

Then reanimated the original to bring back in 98.

[Matt D]

Done with mirrors?

 

[cwoy2j]

Psssh, everyone knows Kerry Von Erich played the part of The Ultimate Warrior.

[Technico Support]

WCW Warrior was actually the result of a Ted Turner-funded black ops project to clone the original Warrior (Kerry, obviously) from the remains of Kerry's amputated foot, which Turner operatives stole from the scene of the accident.

[Ace]

#500 is Grado.

[cool arrow]

Then they slathered face paint on a roided up nut they found on the Venice Beach boardwalk for the WCW run.

 

That one actually kinda makes sense.

[Zac_Fu]

[nate]

Damn damn damn ... now I'm going thru my day saying, in my head, "Everybody lies. Everybody lies. Everybody lies. Everybody lies ..."

I'm trying to make it less intrusive by putting different accents and inflections on the various syllables, but still.

[Raziel]

#500 is Grado.

BS! Grado should be higher than that. Grado's a comedy wrestler that actually is pretty decent in the ring.

[Bustronaut]

Done with mirrors?

 

I've never seen Kerry looking this old.

[Cobra Commander]

perhaps the first Ultimate Warrior was the result of Fritz Von Erich's work with the students of Wernher Von Braun to create a clone of his son Kerry in order to create more Von Erichs. Then Fritz got cheap, Warrior was released without mentioning him as a Von Erich, and the Von Erichs just bought Lance Von Erich instead.

[Patrick B.]

Ehh, it's the PWI 500.  Put in everyone that's on mainstream television, mix in a few international names to sound "worldly", then fill it out with guys who used to be on TV and indy guys with wacky names.  It's a fun read.

I forgot about Fritz's Nazi connections.  Clearly the Ultimate Warrior Program was part of Operation Paperclip.

[Dre013]

Would anyone be shocked if Brock did have heart issues? We have wrestling history and probably twenty years of steroid use. I do not want to hear any naive shit about the phony wwe wellness program, ufc testing, or even ncaa testing. I have bosworth, sonnen, and multiple deaths in my favor.

[Cobra Commander]

Hey, I found the David Von Erich in Florida clips (part 1, part 2, part 3).

 

But Psycho Dad Fritz Von Erich was a heck of a time.

So the only correct answer here is 'no Dre, you're right. I wouldn't be shocked because look at the arguments we have on our side, anything else would be shit.' 

 

This is gonna be a great conversation, I guess? If it's not up for discussion, why post it on a discussion board? Just say it out loud to a mirror and call it a day.

Psst, angry guy. It's a forum for exchanging ideas and I was curious as to if anyone thought Brock wasn't a steroid case. That was my opinion, not multiple choice for others. Are you all red like Brock over this?

[Cristobal]

I don't think it was stating your opinion so much as your pre-emptively shitting on contradictory opinions that was the issue, but hey, y'know, "exchanging ideas" and all.
