Nice Guy Eddie Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 While on the subject of WCW and public domain music: BTW, I liked Benoit's hand clapping theme. I loved the Hollywood Blondes theme. If I were to hear it somewhere, you better believe I'll do the camera rolling hand gesture they did. The Kids in the Hall clip gets me thinking there needs to be a Canadian indy wrestler that uses the KITH theme as his or her entrance music. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Wonder what Quack's problem with Crabtree is? Other workers have fallen out with Quack and taken their Chikara gimmick elsewhere (Lince Dorado comes to mind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 If it's anything like usual indy squabbles, it boils down to the promoter acting like he's Vince McMahon without being, y'know, Vince McMahon, or having, y'know, Vince McMahon money to throw around. There are waaaaay too many promoters that demand you only work for them, boycott other competing shows, etc, while still only paying an absolute pittance. And 99% of the workers do it without hesitation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ka-to Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 To combine the two topics being discussed, whoever came up with Hollywood Hogan was genius. Marvel was getting a cut of any merch that had Hulk on it and Hollywood cut them out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Does anyone know if the "Davey Richards attens medical school" thing was actually true? That was about four years ago, so he should be close to graduation, but his wrestling schedule seems to indicate he has a lot more free time than the typical med student. I was told DR doesn't have a bachelors degree, so I imagine that makes getting into med school a lot more difficult, if not impossible. I'm wondering if anything came of it. For that matter, I assume Taiyo Kea didn't attend business school for very long? His retirement from the ring only lasted about six months before he was back in Japan.

Dewar Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I thought Richards was training to be a paramedic, which would be significantly different than going to medical school. Sunny was the one allegedly upgrading to go back to medical school, wasn't she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere around 2014, he claimed he had been accepted into med school and was going to be retiring. Note: He didn't retire. No idea about the Sunny rumor. Edit: There was a Sports Illustrated profile on Richards written in 2016 that describes Davey as a med student. I assume they fact-checked that before the story was published. https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016/03/09/tna-davey-richards-wwe-seth-rollins-wolves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 13 hours ago, SorceressKnight said: CHIKARA has a pretty good argument for it: Mike Quackenbush did, in fact, create the Jervis Cottonbelly character, and it is his intellectual property. By this, Quackenbush can absolutely claim copyright on the gimmick. Well here is the only question i care about, who risked breaking their neck getting the gimmick over? Morally that is all I care about. By the same token, people should have enough sense not to use gimmicks they don't own on the indies, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Damn. Super bummed by that and very surprised. Aries/Neville was maybe my favorite feud of the year and loved each of their matches, especially the last one. Still wished he would've won the title, the only guy I wanted to see take it off Neville. That sucks, a shame his WWE run was so short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
