Brian Fowler Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Yeah, I like Stroud. Of course, Shoemaker was great doing the "Dead Wrestler of the Week" posts before he got the big job at Grantland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 SoCal Val is apprently gone from TNA. I like her, she's gorgeous. But I'm not really sure what they got from her that Christy Hemme doesn't provide. Maybe it's just me, but I wish they'd released Christy and kept Val. Hemme's at least a decent ring announcer. I'm not sure what Val was good at. To steal something said in another discussion, "I'm such a child." http://www.wwe.com/shows/wwenxt/luther-ward-bio This dude looks like Rutger Hauer. I demand a Roy Batty gimmick. Another post where the avatar makes the post even better ... Also, ahem ... "Hobo with a Shotgun" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Hattrick Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Chris Hobo Ohno Hobo Hobo Hero?! Hobos?! Ohnoes! The Big Shobo Hobo Dallas My God guys! This reminds me of Butch Doink, Luke Doink, Mo Doink and Mabel Doink. Big SHobo is right there. I can't believe no one has mentioned up and coming superstar HoBo Dallas. I think Simmons and The Masked Man should do a weekly podcast on grantland about wrestling. Working titles include 'How many times can we misuse the word postmodern?' and 'This podcast was designed to make JR die from alcohol poisoning'. Damnit! Does nobody read my posts? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Today is Vince McMahon's birthday. He shares it with Hideo Kojima, Takashi Miike and Raven De La Croix. That really explains a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked him up because - for some reason, ungodly as it was - I thought you might have been saying he was Joey Mercury (back off me, okay, it's been a long day ...), and I found that he wrestled a tag match against the team of ... Marty Jannetty and Sabu. ..... Marty Jannetty and Sabu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovert Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Justin Shape is almost as good as my character Justin Continent Justin Shape is a pretty fun local comedy/character wrestler. Was surprised Luther Ward/Joey Cabray/OMEN was signed. Had him pegged as your most solid local worker who will never get signed type even though he is/was better regarded in the industry than that. For example back when mainland Europe was booming Wrestling wise he was the only non-North American Rob Van Dam would let wrestle him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 http://www.wwe.com/shows/wwenxt/luther-ward-bio This dude looks like Rutger Hauer. I demand a Roy Batty gimmick. I dunno if he can wrestle a lick or not (Never seen him) but if he can he should pretty much be put right into The Ascension as the "worker" of the group as he'd fit right in with Conor O'Brian/Rick Victor's look of clubbers from the future.

hammerva Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Apparently one of the gimmicks in the Marlins race was destroyed by the Aces N Eights.

Phantom Lord Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 This is all I can find right now, but we can dream - I thought Marty had an ankle that was in dire need of reconstructive surgery.

JRV Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 So someone informed me "The Princess Bride" wasn't some teenage girl Disney movie and we checked it out. I have a whole new appreciation for Andre. How cuddly was that dude in TPB? ps. Syeahhhhh it's like 2 weeks till I get to call a Sabu match live.
