Tromatagon Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I don't think so, but WWE always called Regal's style "unorthodox"  You know, actually wrestling.  Unorthodox. Wrestling. Fuck.   Sabre is my pick to win BOLA this year, mostly because I want to see him wrestle a bunch of times and this will be my first time seeing him in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I think it's because Regal is left handed. Â Kevin Dunne hates lefties. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Staples Center is set up the same way. The nosebleeds feel straight up and sooooooo far  That's exactly why the Honda Center is the superior LA area venue. Everything is right on top of eachother. I've sat at the top row for WWF show years ago and it was a perfectly acceptable seat.

L_W_P Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 AJ Styles is my pick for "Indy star to make it big". As a "*young up and comer" he already has a mountain of work under his belt and could speed through nXt ala Owens. *per TNA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I can't remember a Presidential candidate who was so hated by both parties and yet here he is with massive poll numbers. I still feel like the shoe will fall eventually but holy shit it's been quite fascinating to say the least.  I wonder if Trump would still appear on RAW at this point? I assume he and Vince are still tight.

_MJ_ Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Late night meaningless wrestling questions: Â How come they didn't run Rock Vs. Triple-H as the one-on-one main event at WrestleMania 2000 instead of that 4-way McMahon squarejerk match again? I've forgotten if there was a good, logical explanation for it. Â They still could have done its BS ending at Mania in a one-on-one match to get their Backlash PPV buys so...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 My best guess is that Austin being out ruined their long term plan of a double main event with Triple H/Rock and Austin/Show, and they still wanted Show in a big main event match. Then the family ego took over and they needed a fourth and there was Foley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 My guess is that Rock/HHH had been done so much at that point, it didn't really have that WRESTLEMANIA MAIN EVENT feel to it. Especially for a WM2K.  For the record, Jericho has said that he was originally the fourth man, and the first WM2000 poster kinda backs that up, but they convinced Foley to immediately renege on his retirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Arnold was actually kind of stiff too. And his act was so weak. It was the same three one liners over and over and one of them was actually from Hans and Franz.  I think he was the beneficiary of a long California republican fantasy about how he was going to be the next Reagan.

El Ken Erico Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015  Zack Sabre JrI thought about him too. You don't think his style will hold him back?  Lot's of kicks and submission. Worked for Del Rio and Daniel Bryan. Finding a gimmick that will make him connect to the people is the tricky part. But that 2 years NXT run would be awesome,no doubt.

The Z Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I still think Kenny Omega could be huge in WWE, if he ever decided to go back there, There are a lot of good wrestlers on the Indies, but he has the kind of it-factor and charisma that very few people have. I know he was already in development once and hated the experience, but the whole environment in WWE has changed so much since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
