MAY 2015 WRESTLING DISCCUSSION


Recommended Posts

Terry Gordy...

I dunno, his ECW run had some fun stuff: the Raven match, the MVC vs Eliminators match at High Incident, and a shockingly good match against a generally useless Brian Lee. Nothing classic, but still worth your time.

He's the only guy on the roster who knows how to work from underneath on a chinlock?

He's about the only guy on the roster that knows how to work from underneath, period.  Too bad Christian is retired, because he was amazing at it too.

Barry Windham might challenge him for that title. 

 

I'm a huge Windham mark. Black glove Windham clawholding people into oblivion was one of my favorite characters ever. However, this is the best thing he ever did

I have a question for anyone on the board who's been a part of the business at some point: what's the general attitude amongst wrestlers (or any performer) towards the increasingly chant-heavy crowds? I personally find most of the chants obnoxious and I know if I was in the ring I'd have a hard time not rolling my eyes at the crowd sometimes.

It's my birthday this week, so I'm asking for a special favor: can someone point me in the direction of a place where I can acquire the Midlothian, OH show of "legend"? Legally is fine, I can pay for it. I just.... need it.

It's Midlothian, VA to begin with. It was being hosted on rapidshare a few years ago but who knows if it still is. DEAN would be the one to ask. It is pretty shitty.

In the indies, it's a fucking struggle to have them make one goddamn peep, so I'm grateful for ANY noise.

So.... There are extremely graphic sex pictures out there that the originator is claiming is of Alexa Bliss. She says they're fake. However, she's basically linking to them on her Twitter by responding to the people posting them! So even if they are fake, she may end up in trouble for that.

Also, they look real to me...

Those pics have been around for a while, if they're the ones I'm thinking about.  Pretty sure the guy in the pics is an actual porn star and they've been more or less debunked.  The only one that seemed like it could be real--at least to my untrained eyes--is the last one.  The others seemed vaguely off.

That is weird.  But it could be a case of someone going through the website they were on--which happens to be one that 'specializes' in photoshopping WWE women's heads unto nude bodies.  Another reason to think these are fake.  I saw them several months ago, and they were old then.

Fans trying to get themselves over mostly bug me.  It's like one minute they don't make a sound, and the next they just say and chant stupid shit.  So I'm kind of in between on that.

I'm still not sure what:

1) NXT fans are doing that is so wrong. All I really remember them doing are dueling "Breeze Is Gorgeous" and "Sasha's Ratchet" followed by "No he/she's not" chants and the like. Also, the time NXT fans shut down the dude trying to chant "Leo Kruger" at Adam Rose is there best.

2) What exactly people want from wrestling crowds.

I agree. I am baffled by the anti-NXT-audience and anti-post-Wrestlemania-Raw audience on this board. Also, the anti-Finn Balor people, but that's another story.

The problem comes from chanting nonsensical bullshit that go beyond supporting/giving heat to a wrestler.  It's basically fans desperately wanting to be a part of the show without adding anything to the experience. A crowd chanting "we are awesome" offers less than one that makes zero noise at all.
