Bustronaut Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 For whatever reason when I look at the thread title I keep expecting scholarly wrestling conversations to be taking place.

Newb82 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Whenever I think about what they should do next booking wise, my answer is always "they should make a faction!" it's what I thought they should do with Punk/Lesnar/Shield at Mania. It's what I think they should have done with Ziggler finally cashing in before that (with Flair turning on Miz, etc). I kind of think they should do that with Orton/Shield now (playing up the fact that the Shield wanted "justice" right up until they ended up in the suits as the new Vince-backed Evolution). I'm not sure what this says about me. I think it's that i grew up with the Dangerous Alliance or something.The Shield have already been established as willing to be hired guns with the Punk angle.

Dewar Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Not to bring up an old topic but I just wanted to point out what an enormous MARK Tommaso Ciampa is for watching a wrestling show that's not his own and enjoying it: Tommaso Ciampa @ProjectCiampa Went back to watch the Cena/Bryan segment from last night. Amazing job selling a match and an event.7:23 AM - 13 Aug 2013 I bet he even has a Ribera jacket.And screw sending one to the March Madness winner. We need to send one to the March Madness Pick 'Em winner. Fuck yes. I am fully on board with this, and after I win, I will post pictures of myself wearing that fantastic jacket.

corpsewhite Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hey all, as some of you may know the man who performs as Necro Butcher was badly injured recently. Necro is probably the nicest man I have ever met through pro wrestling, he is a just a really good dude on top of a great performer...

If any of you can spare anything, please do not hesitate. He gives 100% all the time to pro wrestling and is a very nice, humble guy. Thanks.

There was also an element of them helping Punk due to some anti-traditional WWE sort of thing. Indy Solidarity or what not. Righting the traditional wrongs of the WWE system, etc. Them totally selling out and going corporate would be different than drinking Heyman's kool aid.

Unless ICP is covering a bulk of the medical cost (which is very possible), they should be asking for more than $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Should there even be a place in wrestling for the "smaller" guys? From what I've read, those kind of people lack credibility and only serve to tank the ratings when they're on TV, so maybe the business should just do away with anyone below a certain height and/or weight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooseCannon Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The Manziel family's connection to pro wrestling, via Deadspin: Bobby Joe Manziel, Joe's son and Johnny Football's great-grandfather3, worked a few angles of his own. He was variously a boxer ("The Syrian Kid"), a promoter, and a writer. In 1927, he was accused of fixing a professional wrestling bout between Greek heavyweight champion Jim Londos and Russian titleholder Count Ivan Zarynoff.4 The scandal cost him his license to promote fights in Louisiana.

I'm reasonably certain that worked matches in wrestling were (at the very least) not uncommon by 1927. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Last Saturday, Kahagas wrestled on Booker T's Reality Of Wrestling card. This was the second time I'd seen him wrestle here in Houston, with the first being this past April at the Paul Boesch tribute show. Both times I thought he was pretty awful. He wasn't working with name guys (Saturday may have been his opponent's first pro match, in fact, since most of the guys on the ROW cards are Booker's students), so I don't know if he's better with skilled opponents, or just a shit wrestler. Has anyone else seen much of his work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Watching "Best of Nitro" vol. 2, and what a harsh reminder of how ... just ... the depths of foul judgment lies just out my grasp ... to describe how awful Zybysko is in booth. It seems as if every match he's on, he's on about the "human game of chess," as opposed to the "robot game of chess" or the game of human chess (which is what I assume he really means ... ass).
