MARCH 2016 - WRESTLING DISCUSSION


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

I got locked in the camel clutch once. I manuvered my way out of it; no fucking reaching the couch rope break needed for me. I was a house of fire as a kid.

If we were outside and you went beyond the trees, that was a count-out.

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.

I got hit with a kneeling piledriver on grass in about 6th grade, it knocked me pretty much loopy. My greatest "match" however, was this time we were goofing around in about 11th grade. This dude who was a pretty legit badass started roughing me up and I slid between his legs and hit him in the small of the back. He went down and I slapped a major league cross-face chicken wing on him. It was over. We played it all cool like we were just messing around (because this dude could have literally destroyed me easily) but I got enough cred to where nobody messed with me much after that.

Roman and Cena seem like they'd be cool dudes to hang out with. That doesn't translate at all into their on-screen characters.

 

I think Cena's does, but his biggest problem is the corporate structure of WWE does not allow him to ever change his character. Nobody would like to see a heel turn or something different more than me but guess what? If it were my money on the line, I don't think I would change his character either. There's too much at stake. 

 

The Reigns thing has been botchamania from the Shield breakup, well documented by many on this board.

My friends were screwing around during recess and one guy locked the other one in a full nelson and of course being the dork I am I couldn't miss this chance so I chopped him and somehow that almost knocked him out.

 

 

 

Uhm. Wrestling. In March 2016. Yes...
