So he had a few less than stellar years, how does that take away from the new list and the old list. That stuff was brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I don't understand anything about the Bucks gimmick, it can't be trolling right? if everyone in the audience is praising everything they do and nobody else is paying attention, that's a shit job at trolling.

jstout Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Obviously everybody doesn't praise what they do - hard to find praise here for what they do, for example. Any internet wrestling fan who keeps up with more than just WWE probably has an opinion on them one way or the other, which isn't indifference.

BurningBeard Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Talking of selling, I was watching an early Undertaker match against Tugboat on the Network last night and I've never appreciated how hard it must've been for Taker to bump without showing any kind of pain in his early years. Granted, he barely left his feet on TV and PPV in the early years but he's bumping LOADS for Tugboat and just kinda grimacing and that's it. And he used the rope-walk elbow as his finish on him which was great as I'd forgotten how spritely he used to be as Mean Mark in WCW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 6 hours ago, jstout said: I kinda have divided wrestling into "regular" wrestling and "flippy" wrestling. The Bucks can get away with abandoning ring psychology because their opponents are doing the same thing. It's kinda like a car crash. It's "flippy" wrestling, my standards are lower, I'm watching guys fly around the ring defying gravity. Did you see the Bucks in the Ladder War match or the PWG BOLA second-night match? Neither could be defined as "classic" wrestling matches, but they were both quite the entertaining spectacles. I guess I regard "flippy" wrestling the way some people regard "popcorn movies" - they're not classics, but who cares, let's watch the show. And the Bucks have this great "meta" thing going on where they know they're polarizing, know there's a large chunk of wrestling fans who don't care for them, and know how to push those people's buttons. Don't like all the superkicks? Here's more! I think they're gonna be stars in the WWE sooner rather than later, and they're going to be hilariously polarizing as the ultimate "cool heels." I just hope they bring Omega with them. I've seen the BOLA match, but not the Ladder War. It was fun, but not my favorite style of match. I like the Bucks just fine in small doses, and there are elements of their gimmick that I enjoy. I do tend to think they aren't as good as a lot of fans make them out to be, though.

Spritenaut 32 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 It will be hilarious if Sami gets traded to SDL, only to get less tv time than Ellsworth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I can't believe how large this crowd is. I expect this Ellsworth thing to get old very fast and I expect Vince not being able to control himself and deciding to piss off everyone under the sun by putting the cruiserweight title on Ellsworth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 The guy has been wrestling for years, right? Is he actually good in the ring? He's obviously playing the part of a loser jobber now, but what if he gets in there with, say, Gran Metalik or Rich Swan and tears the place down. Would it be horrible if he were to win the Cruiserweight Title if that were the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, he might've done all that work since that was going to be his first Mania match, instead he fought Snuka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some matches of him out there on Youtube, though, whoever wants to do the research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something more akin to Santino is probably more of what to expect. Then when it gets tired and old and they've milked it for all its worth and then some he can go back to his fed or go be TNA champ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 How long has it been since Hornswaggle as Vince's son? Ellsworth is going to end up another of Vince's bastard children. As it turns out, Vince is another Willy Loman/Big Daddy Dudley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The event was held in Altoona PA at the Joppa. The show had the Hardy's, Sandow, Brooklyn Brawler, and Ellsworth among others. Ellsworth has been doing indy's around PA. WV under the name "Jimmy the Dream" For years. He even runs a promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
