MAY 2016 WRESTLING DISCUSSION THREAD


Recommended Posts

At the way-low-level indy shows in my area, I used to get the crowd to chant USA in the middle of matches between two obvious Americans, no foreign gimmicks within 100 miles of the match. I used to love to watch the wrestlers looking around confused at what was going on.

I went to a WCW House Show in Toled in... I wanna say 98 or 99? But one match had Fit Finlay and William Regal v. Chris Adams and Norman Smiley. A random USA chant broke out and when died down ab bit I screamed "None of them are American you fucks!".

I think my LEAST favourite move in all of pro wrestling might just be Johnny Mundo's knee strike to a guy on his knees/sitting position.  When he misses it, it looks so slow and awkward, like there is no one in the world who would get hit by it.  When he hits it, it always looks to me like he brings it across so slowly that he's just kind of rubbing his knee on the side of the guy's head.

Few years back at one of Powerslam's Tylertown Throwdown events it was Sgt Socorro vs Lukas Frost. The crowd started a USA chant,I guess since SGT was there,and someone sitting near the camera yells "IT MAKES NO SENSE THEY ARE BOTH AMERICAN AND BOTH SERVED THEIR COUNTRIES!"

I was cheering the heels once (I was young and needed the money) and I got some little kid (might've been 9) so riled he pointed his finger at me and yelled "LET'S SEE YOU GET IN THE SQUARED CIRCLE, THEN"~!

That one still means more to me than the time me and my pals antagonized a guy into getting kicked out and escorted out in a cop's chokehold at a Smoky Mountain show.

Jesus, talk about young and stupid ...

Buddy of mine and I were at a WCW show when Dick Murdoch and Dick Slater were teaming up. Every five seconds, it seemed, my buddy - who has one of the loudest voices in the history of ever - kept shouting "GET 'EM, DICK!" I eventually had to tell him "dude, I've been around a lot of fans pissed because I'm cheering for the bad guys, but I'm getting a very serious 'shut the fuck up, buddy, or I will kill you' vibe here. I suggest you cool it."

I saw Davey Boy Smith start a USA chant while wrestling Colonel  Mustafa at a house show once.

 

I was like 11 or 12 and was saying heyyyyyy wait a second 

See but to me it works in this scenario.  Mustafa hates America so the chant would enrage him.  Bulldog, while not American, loves America and is inspired by the chant.

 

That was always my way of rationalizing it.

Slater AND Murdoch? Shit. Talk about a DVDVR dream team.

Or a WCW midcard team.

i loves me some Slater and Murdoch, but, man, I did not like the Flatliners.  Bad mix of two guys way past their primes with skill sets more suited for the territory era that the tv era.

True, but both guys got a pass from me at the time for being so frickin' entertaining for years. And you gotta admit peak-era Slater and Murdoch would be a DVDVR dream team. Besides, my buddy just liked the idea that "GET 'EM, DICK" applied to either guy. This was his downfall, however.

I thought it was just my stream freaking out. That was probably shaky cam at its worst.

The guy who made that YouTube video about what happens when you have snow or confetti on screen should do another one with the WWE shaky cam crap.

That's on par with the "Lets go Jimmy" chant at one of ROH's spring 2006 shows during the four way match between Jimmy Rave, Jimmy Jacobs, Jimmy Yang, and Delirious.

Slater and Murdoch were called The Hardliners. They weren't Chicago med school students conducting experiments to see what lies beyond death. Underrated movie.

That... would've been par for the course in 91 WCW.  And probably damn entertaining as well.
