BurningBeard Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Friends, I don't claim to watch current wrestling much these day, I mainly just follow results, so tell me - does everyone still do shining wizards on the indies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 No, they've moved on to Superkicks and Lungblowers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Not so much. The cool thing right now is to slap your thigh a hundred times every match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'm still expecting to see Omega's collapse sell in Omega-Okada II pop up for the next year in indy matches. (To be fair, it's almost too good *not* to steal, but nobody will get why it worked in context, as usual) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget every sort of move imaginable on the ring apron, reverse huracanranas, and Canadian Destroyer variations for a two count. I would actually love if a chickenshit heel stole the Omega collapse spot in a big match only to be playing possum and small package his unsuspecting opponent for the pin like Bret to Diesel at Survivor Series 95. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably no need for the tags, but: Spoiler Omega ducks a rainmaker by collapsing from fatigue, late in he and Okada's 60 minute draw. It works really well in context, but as alluded to above, could be abused easily in matches that haven't earned that level of exhaustion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 5 hours ago, NikoBaltimore said: I put it in the podcast thread when it came out, but I can't stress enough how awesome Mark Henry was on MVP's podcast. It was from a couple weeks ago and it's Mark talking road stories, backstage adjustments and all kinds of cool shit about movies and sports. It's called the VIP Lounge and if you like Mark I guarantee you'll love this episode. Mark is usually great on interview shows. I think he's been on Jay Mohr a few times and he killed it there too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll do it five minutes in, then pop up and hit a finish. I fucking love the idea of doing it for a flash pin, though. Hell, I hope Omega does it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The Progressive Liberal is my new favorite heel. What a brilliant gimmick! If he really wanted to draw heat, he go full Rick Rude / Cheryl Roberts and have Nancy Pelosi's face airbrushed across the ass end of his ring attire.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 In high school, our backyard federation was gonna do a very similar character during the Bush/Kerry election with the idea that the kid was gonna be running for mayor of our town to drum up interest in buying our tapes (he was the only one of us who was 18, and our town was about to elect it's first mayor that same election day). His gimmick name was going to be "John Mayor, No Relation." He backed out because he is a reasonable, sane person. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I think this Progressive Liberal guy in a bigger market would probably be a huge heel. Hell, he'd probably manage to get heat in huge liberal cities. It's a shame the WWE would never go for a gimmick like this. If they did it would be so handcuffed.

Casey Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Based off the shirt, his gimmick should be a Liberal Neocon. Only way that gimmick works is if he had a all-over print Bernie shirt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice that Reddit attracts people who are a decade or so younger than me. When I was their age though, I just lurked on forums because I didn't feel like I knew enough to contribute. But holy shit, the Attitude Era is as distant to these people as Hulkamania was to me. This is the oldest board I've been on still in existance- it's been over half my life since I was a snotnosed punk college kid seeing posters of the Hardys doing OMEGA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably got more in common with a YouTube comment section or Facebook than it does with here. I check it out pretty regularly just cause I'm on Reddit anyway. One thing I noticed that kinda drives me nuts is that they all use the phrase "in kayfabe" to describe anything that happens on TV When I hear people under a certain age calling a record or LP "a vinyl" I want to smash my face into a wall until it all fades away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
