Big Fresh Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Well, the follow-up was on Conan, which is a comedy show... But again, I was mostly just poking fun. I'm letting it die now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 It was definitely a joke. People who don't see why that isn't a shield (no pun intended) point that out as if it were relevant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Zayn hurt his shoulder and then worked the match anyway. Nash tore his quad, fell down, and the nWo was gone next week. Sting couldn't defeat the NWO, but Nash's quad did. Go figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 How many times has Kane really gotten injured over the years, to the extent it puts him out? I think he has a really good average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 How many times has Kane really gotten injured over the years, to the extent it puts him out? I think he has a really good average. Especially compared to, say, Mark Henry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Zayn hurt his shoulder and then worked the match anyway. Nash tore his quad, fell down, and the nWo was gone next week. Sting couldn't defeat the NWO, but Nash's quad did. Go figure. I still love how Vince McMahon came out to the nWo's music and just said "well, they're dead" and none of the remaining nWo members even put up a fight. If WCW had just had Vince McMahon, the nWo problem would've gone away in a day or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I call that phenomena "Schrodinger's Douchebag" Someone who is only determined to be joking or serious upon the observation of someone taking offense to it.

goc Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Please don't. All the companies who actively threw money into that spectacle (or the company she works for hyping the shit out of it) and she flips out on WWE over a tweet? It's dumb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Watching this E:60 thing, they're still recognizing Adam Rose as "Leo Kruger". And I'd like to see more of that gimmick, I wasn't watching NXT back then. Also, I had no idea he had a child with a bad disability like that.

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Man....you show that doc about Adam Rose and the guy would be a star. Great doc. Who did Vince say was his masterpiece at the end? My DVR cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuture Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Crazy to think that Adam Rose's career was in the NXT audience's hands. Also imagine being a fly on the wall in those production meetings when the cameras aren't rolling. Also, here's Tyler Breeze's segment which didn't air. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=12819011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Here is the segment on Colin Cassidy. Apparently he was near the chopping block around 2013. Good thing that didn't happen: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:12818526 By the way, am I the only idiot who actually thought Michael Cole's real name was Michael Cole. Seems weird that they would give a gimmick name since most of the non wrestlers one don't Watching the Tyler Breeze extra, it isn't obvious that the protege would be Billy Gunn. I mean Dusty bringing up Liberace definitely isn't the way that character should have gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I was surprised Michael Cole is in NXT production meetings. Same with J.R. And same with Paul Heyman in that "Triple H meets the new talent" meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Read this on Reddit RE:Vince "Tonight, Vince made a special appearance here in Montreal for the Pat Patterson appreciation night thing they were doing and I noticed something quite odd. Vince needed to follow a spot light to the ring in order to know where he was going. I didn't think anything of it at first and thought it was just a lighting effect for his entrance. So he follows the spotlight and then there's a crew a member who's directing him to the ring from a distance, making hand motions and pointing to various things so Vince doesn't bump into stuff I guess. Once again I thought nothing of it and figured maybe he's just making sure Vince doesn't trip over any camera cords. So Vince is done with his speech and he exits the ring. He stands there then slowly paces towards the stage and looks over his shoulder for a crew member. Two of them rush towards him and began to beam pocket flashlights to the floor for Vince to follow. Once again they cautiously guide him to gorilla using the floor beams from their flashlights. He then ducks under the right platform of the Raw stage and goes to the back still with assistance. One thing though, Vince carries himself as if nothing is wrong. His demeanor and stance would make you think otherwise but it was clear that he's going blind or has limited vision at this point in his life. No one else needed assistance. Ambrose took the same exist and did fine on his own and so did Sami. Various other crew members took the exist with no problem/assistance and plus Vince was the only one with a spotlight during his entrance. He looks very tired in person and you can tell he's a very very hard working guy both physically and mentally. It was my first time ever seeing him in real life."

Kevin Wilson Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Vince is such a hard worker I think sometimes we forget he is almost 70. My dad is 64, he is fully functional and everything but I can't imagine him doing 10% of what Vince does. I hope behind the scenes they are legitimately working on phasing him out just for his own health, he can't possibly keep going at his speed much longer, Father Time is undefeated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 It's kind of weird how this blew up into this huge "Vince is blind" story on my Twitter TL. He's a 70 year old man without his glasses going into the arena after working at least 12 hours putting together a television show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
