bobholly138 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Unbelievably classy. I couldn't watch it though, sick kids really mess me up bad. Same thing here. I worked in a morgue for years,but my only two rules were I didn't work on anyone I knew or anyone under the age of 10. Just got to me too much if I had to do either. Oddly seems like I am one of the few that grew up in the 80s who doesn't give a shit about Sting. Last time I liked him he was tagging with Steiner in Mid South/UWF.

Tromatagon Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Sting was the local guy who became a wrestler around these parts. That was pretty fucking huge as a kid for me and my friends. I'm wearing a surfer Sting shirt in my 5th grade class picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Sting in the WWE earlier in the 2000's will be the greatest of what if's. Yep, what if he had jumped 10 years earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammedboehm Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'll say it's Cena's STF. In maybe one match it looked painful.Yeah the receipt in the Raw match with Seth destroying his nose, which begs the question, is Cena that careful of a worker to not apply the hold correctly in fear of popping off someones head? I don't get it, hell even Austin has pleaded with him to tighten that shit up and he didn't.The most common answer I've seen about Cena's STF is that they're concerned about children using it while playing, so the looser it looks the less likely they would be to cinch it in and hurt each other. But the same people don't have a worry about kids mimicking Brock and dropping each other on there heads via German suplex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I very seriously doubt there is a single person here who didn't "try this at home." Some of us just took it a little further than others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Yeah, I knew it was time to dial it down when I almost killed my best friend with a powerbomb. He laughed it off but it could've easily gone another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I used to like to re-create the Hogan eliminating the Brain Busters spot from the '89 Royal Rumble, and clothesline myself off my bed. I also DDT'd my cousin in my grandmother's house. That was the end of wrestling in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Yeah, i had a friend piledriver another friend at our house when there were no adults around and that put the fear in me about no doing stuff like that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I told you it felt wonky Do remember, this is the same WWE that claim that they also own the lineage to the NWA World title because they had a big gold belt. Title history and lineage wibble wobble like timey wimey does for a Time Lord. Jesus, did I just type that? Yes, you did. And anyway the NWA aren't exactly blameless in the revisionist history department. Abraham Lincoln, anyone? Oh I agree. No question there. The NWA claiming that their title was the same title that Frank Gotch held is a stretch too. Thesz unified the NWA title with a title sort of tied to the belt Gotch held, but, hey, that's gospel in wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm more mad at TNA than Seth Rollins. Sting had a good ten years left in him and he wasted all of that down there. Yeah, I can't fault him for taking the easy money for having to do nothing and he did have a few good matches when he didn't feel phone it in. But man if he came to the WWE even in say 2008 there could have been so many great matches including that Taker match and hell even one with Michaels. Sting in the WWE earlier in the 2000's will be the greatest of what if's. This is the biggest thing, I think. Spinal stenosis doesn't happen because of one bump. He was likely already headed in that direction before going to TNA, but that was another 10 years or so of bumps on someone that worked a ton in some hard-ass Southern rings.

Marcel Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 No no no. That would be Sgt. Slaughter's Noogie of Death. The Stump Puller also comes to mind. As does the Steiner Recliner - I mean, Scott didn't even look like he was trying to create *fake* pressure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Oh man I could only imagine how horrified people that worry about that would be if they saw me and my friends as kids Dustin Rhodes bulldog headlocks everywhere son Nobody gave a shit. We were so lucky the Total Elimination and shit like that wasn't around yet. Same here. Dudes I grew up with would fucking lock in the Camel Clutch on me. That said, my Cobra Clutch was no joke either, and I may have nailed a DDT (on grass) or two back then as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Cena cranked the stf hard on Brock at SummerSlam too. He did not in the rematch. I kinda think Brock didn't appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARMDRAGON Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 The STF on Owens at Battleground looked great too. Sting's Scorpion over the past decade has looked more taxing on him than his opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I manuvered my way out of it; no fucking reaching the couch rope break needed for me.

Popular Post Buy Me a Burrito Posted March 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2016 There was a bully who was terrorizing the neighborhood. I gave him an Irish whip, and because there were no ropes to stop him he's circled the Earth 3 times in the past 29 years since this happened. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanChessgame Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 In 7th grade or so I put my friend's brother in a headscissors lock for a while when we were having a wrestling tournament in the living room. He started choking really bad immediately afterwards and I thought I had seriously hurt him or something. As far as wrestling as an adult goes, getting drunk and doing wrestling moves on eachother on one of those bigass trampolines is a lot of fun. But if you hit your buddy with a superfly splash he might barf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
