Brian Fowler Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Just now, Craig H said: It wasn't just Michigan State. That was one of the big ones, but everyone was doing that shit. Soccer teams, baseball teams, etc. Also, even during that angle with the Wyatts, the fans still cheered the hell out of DB and kept YES'ing and everything. I know everyone was doing it, but it was the Michigan State clip that convinced Vince, at least according to Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Oh and that other thing worth mentioning about that cage match is the crowd was dead the entire night. One of those RAWs where you wonder why the people even bought tickets they are so quiet. Then.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Man, that ending to WM30 really does feel like something of a series finale for WWE. Everything from Daniel Bryan going over to that shot of him celebrating on the desk with the pyro going off behind him is incredible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Looking back, Mania X, XX, and XXX all had similar feeling endings. Although in hindsight XX is so sad and tragic. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average age of death was 47. The two people Bret wrestled (Owen and Yoko) both died at the age of 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Have Bryan and Bobby Roode ever wrestled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Just now, Web Conn said: Have Bryan and Bobby Roode ever wrestled? I would think that the answer is no. Have they ever been in the same place at the same time? Has Roode ever been in any of the higher profile East Coast indies? I wouldn't think it would have happened in APW when Dragon was there, but I guess ECCW would be a possibility. Dragon worked there more than a handful of times in 2001, but I don't know that Roode would have been working that far west that early in his career.

RIPPA Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Roode was in the 2002 Super 8 which was at the time a High Profile East Coast Indie (and where we saw him wearing his velvet trucks). He worked a couple other ECWA shows too (including two matches with the Cheetah Master that I now need to see if I can track down). He and Bryan never wrestled 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 How much has HHH aged from that 2013 video. Guy looks identical facially to his 2003 run, just without the long hair. Now you can pretty much lose coins in his forehead wrinkles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 He's probably slept no more than four hours a night for years between all of his jobs and those midnight workouts. It's going to take a toll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Plus it’s baseball season soon, so he’s gotta break his face in for it’s second job as a catchers mitt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 9 hours ago, Brian Fowler said: They had basically decided (some people will argue it was actually long term storytelling but everyone involved that has been interviewed denies that) his run as a main eventer was over, so they kinda randomly turned him we had him join the Wyatt family. I think they are all lying to make fans feel more empowered. Booking lined up way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 If HHH had started back in the territory days, he wouldn't have had to worry about his forehead from stress, Abby or somebody else (like himself) would have already done that for him. He might be using the stress wrinkles as a cosplay utility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that Yes fan takeover angle feeling like an audible to get Bryan into the Mania main event. Hunter really had to act like he'd gone nuts just to make it kind of make sense. The whole thing could've been a work, but I don't remember the booking being neat. In fact if it was entirely planned, they did an excellent job covering their footprints.

Casey Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Quote The only difference between him and every other wrestler on the roster is that part of his agreement when getting WWE to send him to leading neurologists of Maroon's choosing to get evaluated, is that he agreed, after every match, until WWE was comfortable that he was okay, he would go to the WWE doctors backstage and get Impact testing and a neuropsychological evaluation done. Maybe that'll put some people's worries to rest in this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the Wyatt side trip, Bryan was bearing Orton's brains in and coming within inches of the title. He had Orton beat at Elimination Chamber. It was sloppy booking which is how WWE does business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why was he is a featured segment every show? If they were ignoring him, they would take him off TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
