Patrick B. Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I'm aware of the actual spoiler and, as I said in the LU thread, that group is one that I trust in terms of "interesting" booking decisions. Though it's probably more a matter of my acceptance that this rasslin stuff just isn't for me nowadays and I'm okay with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I finally saw Ricochet/Ospreay, ZSJ/Ospreay, and Naito/Okada, and somehow, I enjoyed Naito/Okada the most. Maybe because I did not expect anything like the finish that I got on that last one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Depending on which one you're talking about, said spoiler is actually fake. But I'm sure any minute one of the guys from the LU thread will come in here and throw a hissy fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMN Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 8 hours ago, Technico Support said: It was both. It was a double tables match and Terminator X was teaming with Chuck, filling in for Flavor Flav who was in jail again. Things were looking pretty grim for our boys until the S1Ws did a run-in. Bill Goldberg defeated Professor Griff in a grudge match on the undercard. N...N...W...W...A...A... West coast invasion! Man, a wrestling promotion consisting of rappers would be the coolest thing ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 8 hours ago, Technico Support said: Yeah, that's what happens when you pull a desperation angle out of your ass, pile on nonsensical stips in a sad attempt to heat it up more, then run it in a vacuum. You end up just pretending it didn't happen once it's done. I'm still trying to understand the following: Why did Shane agree to a match in the first place? He already had blackmail material on Vince so what leverage did Vince have on him to make him work the match? That makes zero sense. There was some sort of intimation in Shane's return promo that he was still in power and was above Triple H and Steph, but that was quickly forgotten about. WTF? Why did Undertaker fight for Vince? Why, if the company was on the line, did everybody else in the company treat this storyline like it wasn't happening? Why did the match not have 8-12 run-ins like everybody thought it would? We would get answers if WWE's booking decisions didn't come from a Magic 8 Ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SorceressKnight Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 8 hours ago, ChrisM said: I just watched the ABC 20/20 piece on pro wrestling, from 1985. Being just a young kid at the time, I don't really remember how wrestling fans reacted to it. But was it pretty much the moment that killed "kayfabe" for everyone? I don't know how fans could argue with anything in the video, especially the demonstration on how to blade,although I'm sure there were lots of folks trying to explain things away. The big problem with kayfabe killing pieces is that in the older days of wrestling- it was always seen as "every 10 or so years, some news story would leak that pro wrestling may not entirely be on the up and up", but everyone politely forgot that story (and just assumed "yeah, wrestling's fake", but decided to pay it no mind.) Really, if any one moment killed kayfabe, it was when Vince McMahon admitted under oath wrestling was predetermined, as that was the one news story where no one ever decided to ignore that wrestling was predetermined afterwards.

BrianS81177 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Got to meet Jerry Lawler at Emerald City Comic Con this past weekend. He was there promoting a comic called "Headlocked" that he does the covers for. He was really cool and told a funny story before his panel started to the 30 or so people that were there at the time about how Vince absolutely hates it when people lean into the microphone at the hall of fame ceremony.

PetrolCB Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Kane portraying a cop [in the new WWE film] makes it so much closer to my dream of him being cast as Bull in the WWE reboot of Wrestler's Night Court. Of course, Charles Robinson gets to replace Charles Robinson, as Mac. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zev Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I don't think Hacksaw would work as Judge Stone, simply because the amount of prostitution cases covered in a typical season of Night Court would lead to lazy writers relying on "Hoooo" jokes.

It's being put forth by a single shareholder. I don't know much about this type of stuff, but it doesn't seem like this will really make waves.

Might wanna change that theme song, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to correct me if I'm missing something crucial. It's not. It alleges that he bought and sold shares profitably within 6 months, which as an insider (Shane is Vice Chairman of the company's board) you can't do. If he did do that, he has to return the profit (estimated at $18K) and probably pay the legal fees of the court cost (probably chump change for Shane.) That said, the dates it gives are January 2014 and May 2015, though, so if that's not a typo, I think the plaintiff screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
