Hart lay it all out for us, I think he played it close to the vest. Why would he give away the secret of his man's ultimate weapon? I like the magazines investigating it but I don't want it on TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Someone should have explained the mists to Luger before the match. He's selling the fatal black mist, not the burning green mist: 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this belongs in the gif gauntlet IMO. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your auto-correct change Tajiri to Tahiti? That's why I don't like auto-correct and don't use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I tried that when I went bald (the facial hair, not the sunglasses). Wife hated it, and I looked evil - give me a cat to stroke and I could pass as a James Bond villain. Besides. It was work to keep the thing trimmed properly. Quicker and easier just to shave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nowhere near as bad as Tajiri misting Undertaker and Taker looking annoyed that someone had just spit in his face and then proceeds to no-sell it and murder Tajiri. At least HHH spent a half hour selling it once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batboy Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 On 7/23/2017 at 8:23 AM, thee Reverend Axl Future said: Good question. To the best of my recollection (spotty, addled, chair-shotted) on TV the mist was kept "mysterious" with minimal explanation - as it should be. Excess vague factoids, workarounds and theories were the province of the Apter mags, where the gland gimmick probably came from... - RAF Thanks Reverend (and everyone else for the continued discussion); the possible origins in Apter mags of the gland theory feels right to my recollection. I would've been perusing them on the floor of my buddy's rec room, surrounded by Fangoria, Starlog, and Cinemagic as well, and thus I think the gland explanation resonated with me for its Cronenberg-ian body-horror elements. But I agree that thankfully the origins were not delved into too deeply on TV beyond the color typology that you cataloged in CLAW HOLD! and that others here and elsewhere have noted. And Luger's "Dick Cheney Hunting Buddy" bump is by far his finest selling... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
