Sept Wrestling Jibber Jabber Thread


RIPPA

Pretty sure at this stage in the game, the only thing JR would do play-by-play for now are OU football games. 

 

This really seems like a moot point anyway.  If Cole were to somehow quit and/or JBL fell off a mountain, they'd bring back JR to fill in just as fast as the other two times they fired him.

I don't know JR would take the TNA job, but they'd be insane not to offer it to him.  He's one of the few WWE cast-offs that might actually lend some credibility to the company, as he really is the voice of pro wrestling to a whole generation of fans.

 

Plus, he did a pretty damn good job scouting and signing talent back in the day.  Remember, he was one of the main architects of the Attitude roster.

And signed Brock along with Batista and Cena.

One of my comp students turned in her favorite travel experiences exposition essay today. She talked about her love of wrestling. She talked about going to Wrestlemania 29 to meet her hero, Stephanie McMahon.

 

Welcome to the Queendom, you guys.

A. She shouldn't even have to come back to class again for the semester.

 

In similar news

 

 I was teaching a match lesson the other day, and tried to see how over Daniel Bryan was. We were doing functions, and I wrote a graph on the board and told the kids to tell me if it was a function or not. I said write it on your dry erase board, Yes or No. So when the majority of them wrote yes, I started doing the yes chant softly with the arms. A few caught on to it. I will make it mainstream soon.

So, this tweet from Trips 

 

Can't thank you enough @JRsBBQ for all you've done for me personally and for @WWE ... Enjoy your time, you've earned it!!! #thankyouJR

 

kind of makes me think the whole thing is a work.  Anyone else getting that feeling.

 

Also, having thought about it for a day now, if it's not a work, what a hilariously shitty thing to fire a guy who has been nothing but a company man for two decades over.

And then it's double shitty to tell the guy who got fired he earned his time off. 

 

All the more reason for JR to go to work for TNA and use it to wage a personal war against the WWE.

If you have an interest in wrestling championships and how they are made like I do, you'll want to read this:

 

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1766273-wwe-championship-belt-maker-dave-millcan-talks-big-logo-2013-wwe-belt-and-more

 

Thanks, that was an awesome read. I had no idea that Orange County Choppers helped build the current belt haha. Also interesting to think that there are two different championships the WWE uses, the road belt and the HD belt.

 

I'm also reading through the WWE article they did with him now and I guess it never dawned on me that the USWA title originally came about as being the unified title for the AWA and WCCW.

 

EDIT: Fun fact I wonder if anybody notices but apparently there were two different sets of WWF Tag Title belts used in the mid-90s as one picture shows the Demolition with tag belts where "WORLD" is in red, then goes to Money Inc. who has a set where "WORLD" is in black, and then later on Edge and Christian have the tag belts with "WORLD" in red again.

 

 

You're welcome.

This led me to http://www.davemillicanbelts.com ... if you want belt porn, you've got it.

 

 

Thank you.

 

I don't know what everybody else thinks but the new WWE Championship design introduced this year has really grown on me. I like it.

"Suck on this 1.2 rating, Vince!"

"More people may watch WWE, but then again, more people like Myley Cyrus than Emmylou Harris. These men are by gawd ath-a-letes, not sports entertainers!" If it's so wrong to wanna see angry, bitter J.R. treat Impact like a two-hour YouShoot against Vince and the WWE, I don't wanna be right.

Hey guys. I've been a long-time lurker on this board (and did post a few times back before the last board was lost), and I recently came upon a video I thought would be right up the alley of such an esteemed bunch of wrestling experts. (My apologies if I should have posted this in another area)

 

Someone I know collects old 8mm film, and he found this clip of a wrestling match. He can't identify many of the people in it, and frankly neither can I. I was curious if any of you guys might be able to name any of the guys here:
