The Iron Yuppie Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 10 hours ago, The Natural said: Notorious. The Bret-Austin image will always be one of my favorite in wrestling history. Such an amazing match with incredible storytelling leading up to and immediately following. I may have to shell out the cash for Homage's just-released t-shirt. As for the above Sheamus-Bryan, that's one of the more laughable retcons in WWE history, to me. It's been credited for beginning Bryan's move into the main event and launching the Yes Movement because of the RAW crowd reactions the next night. I don't buy that at all. It'd be like attributing Austin getting white-hot in 1998 to facing Yokozuna at the Summerslam '96 pre-show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Didn't the "Yes movement" start as a heel act? I can't remember the specifics but Bryan was a heel who essentially stole the title, but he would "Yes" down to the ring as an over the top celebration like he'd earned it.

AxB Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 He turned heel by cashing in MitB on the Big Show, right after show had ended Mark Henry's title reign. But yeah, he was doing the weak Champion deal where he lost all the time, like Edge's first reign, and Punk's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, he was climbing out, Show grabbed him and was pulling him back in and lost his grip. Bryan fell to the floor and won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 They need to recreate those old Hasbro commercials for these new figures. Like, identically. It'd be a fun little retro homage I think. I can still remember them word for word, I've seen them so many times. They were great. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 My late mother drove for an hour to Toys R Us to buy me the Hasbro ring for birthday in 91. It was actually the same day as Mania 7, so I should have been sad I was not watching Slaughter get ran over by Hulkamania, But I was so happy and still have the remnants of said ring. A doped up relative broke it in 1996. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I assume this means Bayley is Samoa Joe's sister in angle. I base this on nothing but some form of potential racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Meanie Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I like the idea of those figures, but they're made by Mattel not Hasbro like the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 If those figures can't give a toddler a concussion with one throw, they're not authentic. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Not that she ever placed that high in her previous attempts, but I would imagine the WWE tour schedule can't help that much when it comes to having to train for a body building competition.
