AxB Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last Japanese Wrestler I can remember holding a WWF/E title is Bull Nakano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Cena and Otunga had the belts for one day. Dupree and Suzuki held it for 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Saw a poster for the new Jeff Bridges movie, "Hell or High Water" today as I was heading into the theater, then the trailer before the movie. In this one, at least, he's looking full on Stan Hansen-ish. I did a double take when I saw the poster. A movie with "The Lariat" trying to foil bank robbers would be a thing to see...

Sammo~! Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Surprise! You can be both. The Rock is the first black WWF champ and also Samoan. Go figure. Anyway back when we did the DVDVR Race Draft I claimed Batista for the Asian delegation along with Zack Morris. It counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zev Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I was just going to post Bacon's response. Instead I'll just say that the Rock played once Rocky Johnson on That 70's Show, but I don't think it was the episode where Donna announced she's not wearing a bra. Speaking of TNA, did the Aces and Eights lose any 1 specific match,and in storyline driven out of the company, or did they just fizzle apart?

Then again that will probably mean I owe Rippa and all other mods money for the dumb shit that will come out of people's internet mouths. EDIT: Now I'm just thinking of a general DVDVR Draft of some form... the rules are not clear to me but it could be something that could either impact or compare to March Madness... god just me suggesting this concept probably means I owe Rippa money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both. They fizzled apart (with guys like DOC, D-Lo and Devon leaving the company whilst onscreen as members), then Bully Ray fired almost everyone from the group because he was crazed with power. But eventually they had one match between Bully and Anderson where if Bully lost, the group had to disband. And Bully lost, so that was that. Several months too late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The best part of the whole thing with this guy (who I don't know at all since I'm in the wrestling bubble or something) was people giving Roman Reigns hell for using your not you're. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm interested in the potential UFC/WWE thing that may have been blown. One would think Brock pissing dirty would have shut that down just as quickly, at least from a PR perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
