APRIL 2016 WRESTLING DISCUSSION THREAD


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

The concept of Ric as a furry is quite disturbing. There was no mention of the panda exposing itself, so it was unlikely to be Flair.

An old friend of mine clarified it's not a panda suit (as said in national news) but a hedgehog kigurumi suit that you can buy online.  Doesn't really matter what it is, but I still found it crazy.  What would compel one to wear that and do a fake bomb threat, who knows.

Kyle Edwards just announced that he too has parted ways with the WWE

So looks like this year's Post-Mania purge is all in the announcers division

 

To be fair, the only use Ocal/Edwards got was in 5 minute Youtube segments and throwaway network shows.

What's strange about Rusev and Lana now is that a year ago the crowd (men anyway) wanted Lana to turn face and Rusev to stay heel. Now I'd say they would accept Rusev as a face, but not Lana who is now firmly a heel. 

Rusev's whole run up to Cena was sublime and I weep for the days where I thought he could have a 25 minute main event match with Brock in his future. Instead he got a 5 minute squash on a house show. I hope he bought a nice house like Shannon Moore.

This was never remotely realistic for various reasons.

And yet we've had Lesnar vs. Kofi, vs. Del Rio, vs. Luke Harper, vs. Ambrose (at Mania, no less).  Why wouldn't "vs. Rusev" have been possible at the time?

I'm not sure which is more disturbing, the original report or the fact that you have friends who know where to buy a hedgehog kigurumi suit.

Mental instability I assume.

Well, the guy at the station did have to search for that specific suit, so that's on him.  As for my old friend who knew what that was, it was basically him being a dick about the whole "It's not a panda suit, you fucks, it's this!"  I like the guy, but c'mon, people will see what they see anyway.

Besides, it's the internet, if it was made or thought of in any capacity it will always be searchable and bought online.  That is, if you're into that sort of thing.  If rule 34 of the internet is "if it exists there's porn/freaky shit" for it, then rule 35 might as well be "if it exists, we make something about it!"

 

Oh, and to clarify it was a friend of a friend, but that's not to discount what OSJ said.

Not if you're in Canada.  Every single commercial break we get Kyle Edwards going "WWE is coming to CALGARY...I'm Kyle Edwards with YOUR WWE update!"  Every.  Single.  Break.  

I feel bad for the guy, though.  For The Score (Who used to run all WWE programming in Canada before they became Sportsnet 360), the story I read is that he came up with the idea to do a post-Raw and post-Smackdown show and discuss storylines/matches.  The Score liked it but suggested he co-host it with Renee Paquette.  So fast-forward a few years, The Score is under new management and everyone is jumping ship.  WWE quickly hires Paquette, re-names her and she becomes a bonefide member of WWE.  Edwards/Ocal drifts around doing comedy spots on The Weather Network and stuff before finally getting a WWE job, but it's not quite the job he was dreaming of.  Now Paquette is about to be a full-time member of Total Divas, while Ocal is unemployed again.

Okay DVDVR. Real talk. What the fuck is wrong with Austin Aries? He comes off more like a F4W board poster than a star. Between his attitude, opinions no one asked for and his Twitter meltdowns the guys a mess in more ways I can count, and I can pretty much count to infinity.

He's a great heel and judging by your post he's doing a fine job.

So by that it means all Vegans are heels since that is 95% of what his twitter feed is - telling us he is a vegan

Though last night was him screaming at Justin Verlander that having laser eye surgery is a PED

Happy heel couples in wrestling is such a weird trope. I get that babyfaces are supposed to be single so women want to fuck them and there's an idea that most male wrestling fans would be jealous of a wrestler who gets laid, but it's funny that all these heels are portrayed as having loving relationships. It's not like the Savage/Liz dynamic where a good girl is with a psycho. I mean, the whole dynamic is basically "boo these smug people in love."

I was always a big fan of the Jimmy Garvin/Precious pairing whether he was a heel or face. As a heel, he kind of had that Miz thing going where he called himself Gorgeous when he clearly wasn't but he had a hot (for the 80's anyway) wife that you couldn't have. As a face, he was the loving husband fending off sleazeballs like Flair who insulted his wife.

This talk made me go back to the Von Erich's ranch segment, which is still funny, and I proceeded to the Sunshine vs. Precious feud which Sunshine just slays. She gets on the mic and blows everyone out of the water (and btw, she is about ten times hotter than Jimmy's actual wife). 

 

You gotta love her talking about "the tapes", "the medical records", "I did things for you that I wouldn't have ever done"; makes Garvin look super sleazy because your gears start turning about what the tapes and the things are -- likely of a sexual nature. 

EDIT: Oh yeah, this stuff also aired on a Christian network! The '80s were a different time...

Thank you so much! I haven't seen Garvin at the Von Erich Ranch in almost 20 years and I forgot how golden it was. Jimmy was just fantsstic...

 

And man, those Von Erich's were dicks.
