APRIL 2017 WRESTLING DISCUSSION


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Didn't he pull off (as well as he could) a slingshot to the outside, onto Barbarian(?) during that match? I vaguely remember it being a not terrible, but what you'd expect hoss match. 

**edit** 

Okay, maybe not...

I love that he still wore the Berzerker boots during the WCW run. It was so out of place with everything else.

Oakley knock-off sunglasses, cheap mall kiosk print your own t-shirt, furry Berzerker boots...something doesn't seem right

From the WON daily update it sounds like this is being created by the people who did the Jesse Ventura movie-

  • MLW Radio has a show reviewing the original screenplay of the Vince McMahon movie. Some of the stuff is so ridiculous it's not even funny, including Linda working at a strip club, and Vince bringing 35-year-old porn star Jimmy Snuka into wrestling, and Vince discovering Andre after an argument at a restaurant in Montreal and seeing Andre was a guy who ran the restaurant.

Vince should lock himself in a room with a bunch of blow and write the script. Worked for No Holds Barred, right? 

Although, this sounds like something he'd actually come up with.

My god he yells "HAVE HAND, WILL SLAP!" In that promo and I died and this is a ghost writing this.

I was preferential to "I've taken pills better than you.  I've taken pills..." then he just trails off.

For those of you playing the pools for the obvious "Oh so Vince just got around to seeing <insert movie here>" joke. The answer you were playing for was "Boogie Nights".

Never seems to bother Buzz, wearing fuzzy boots with a handkerchief skull cap.

For some reason, Buzz Sawyer's bandana and fuzzy boots never seemed weird to me. Probably because he was called the Mad Dog.

So, I saw a great Dynamic Duo vs Tiger Conway, Jr./Scott Casey match that's far better to talk about in the wrestling thread than Punk in MMA. Anyone want to talk about that instead?

 

This the Chris Adams/Gino Hernandez version or another version?  I didn't think those two teamed up outside of World Class.

Nord was wearing the furry boots before he was the Berserker. Back in his Nord The Barbarian days. 

His look in WCW was off putting. I wonder if he had cut his hair for a non wrestling life and did not trust the WCW run to last.

That Breakfast Club promo is the most tremendous thing I've seen in a while. They cut a threatening heel promo using cereal. It reminds me of those stupid NXT Talk the Talk challenges that gave us great moments like Eli Cottonwood riffing on mustaches and the beginning of the genesis of McGillicutty.

Nord's legs are disturbingly shiny.  It's grossing me out a bit.

92-93 Nord is worlds better in-ring than any Brody I've ever seen except for maybe heel 1978 Brody. There's not even an argument. That's basically the truest statement I've ever uttered about pro wrestling. I wouldn't call anyone who said differently a moron, but I would say that they certainly didn't do the legwork.
