That he expects so much of everyone that he tends to forget the little things, like just how little experience Strowman had at that point because he expects perfection every time. And then I read this story from Jim Korderas' autobiography If he'd fell he would be in for a nice payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I can't believe that Virgil gif from the last page. I'm assuming that's Janela he's working? Janela is one of my favorite people on the Indy scene at the moment. 7.5 stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kinda seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't sue even if Vince hurt him, as long as his medical bills were covered. He tells a story about WWE in Japan where they didn't have enough hotel rooms for the refs/ring crew so he had to stay at this tiny little hotel that didn't even have room in the room for his luggage and how Shane McMahon found out and got them rooms with everyone else and Korderas is thankful for Shane for fixing it, and never complains about WWE and the hotel screwing up the bookings in the first place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always sounded like a good guy. Definitely an asset for any employer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 19 hours ago, Infinit said: How many NWO members are still active? Are Big Show, Tenzan and Kojima the last 3? Just to revisit this Per Wiki (so it may or may not be accurate) - and we are talking original NWO members Quote Scott Hall (founding member, sided with nWo Hollywood after split) Kevin Nash (founding member, leader of nWo Wolfpac after split) Hulk Hogan/Hollywood Hogan (leader and founding member, leader of nWo Hollywood after split) Ted DiBiase (joined in August 1996, left group in mid 1997) The Giant (joined in September 1996, kicked out of the group in December 1996) nWo Sting (joined in September 1996, sided with nWo Hollywood after split) Syxx (joined in September 1996, fired from WCW in March 1998) Vincent (joined in September 1996, sided with nWo Hollywood after split) Miss Elizabeth (joined in September 1996, sided with nWo Wolfpac after split) Eric Bischoff (joined in November 1996, sided with nWo Hollywood after split) Buff Bagwell (joined in November 1996, sided with nWo Hollywood after split) Michael Wallstreet (joined in December 1996, contractually removed from group in April 1997) Big Bubba Rogers (joined in December 1996, contractually removed from group in April 1997) Scott Norton (joined in December 1996, sided with nWo Hollywood after split) Masahiro Chono (joined in December 1996) Randy Savage (joined in February 1997, sided with nWo Wolfpac after split) Dennis Rodman (joined in March 1997, left the group in July 1997) The Great Muta (joined in May 1997) Tenzan (joined in May 1997) Konnan (joined in July 1997, sided with nWo Wolfpac after split) Curt Hennig (joined in September 1997, sided with nWo Wolfpac after split) Rick Rude (joined in November 1997, sided with nWo Wolfpac after split) Louie Spicolli (joined in January 1998 as a valet for Scott Hall, died on February 15, 1998) Dusty Rhodes (joined in January 1998, sided with nWo Wolfpac after split) Brian Adams (joined in February 1998, sided with nWo Hollywood after split) The Disciple (joined in February 1998, sided with nWo Hollywood after split) Scott Steiner (joined in February 1998, sided with nWo Hollywood after split) Nick Patrick (referee; joined in 1996, quit the nWo on April 21, 1997) So first of all - 8 of those members are dead Of those - Tenzan and Show are the only ones I would consider as working full time After that I would say Scott Norton, of all people, is the most active. Even more so than Muta who does like one match a month now it seems. Then there are the handful (Bagwell, Waltman, Steiner, etc...) who do a match from time to time The list gets really depressing when you expand to all the other NWO incarnations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Re: Active members of the nWo. If you include nWo Japan, Kojima is still wrestling full-time for New Japan. Akira wrestled about 30 matches last year. He's been a regular in Wrestle-1 the past several years. He left Wrestle-1, though, and Cagematch only lists three or four results for him this year, so maybe he's close to retiring. He is 51. How many members of nWo Nova Scotia and nWo Boise are still around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibata Is My Homie Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Honest question time. Why does Mike Bennett/Kanellis have a job in the E? He isn't talented and bores the fuck out of me. If they wanted Maria, then just hire her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I was watching a few Hall of Fame speeches on the network last night, and I wish they'd let the marquee induction pick out who went in on his year. At one point it kinda seemed they were going the route of themed inductions (Hogan's rock and wrestling ceremony, the AWA one) but I think it would be a fantastic gesture to allow the big name going in to curate his own list of inductions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 So I stumbled upon a Netflix movie called Russell Madness. It's about a dog who becomes a pro-wrestler with the help of his trainer who is a talking monkey. John Ratzenburger and Fred Willard are in it. John Morrison is also in it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
