FEBRUARY 2018 WRESTLING PHOTO THREAD


Recommended Posts

I loved Team Madness. It's a shame Savage was pretty broken down and probably overdoing it on the gas. Although even if he'd been in great shape he'd still be stuck in dying WCW without an olive branch to go back to WWF.

The President.

I was about to make a Don King joke, then I realized I like Don King far more than Trump and don't feel like insulting him that way.

Mind blown.  What a bizarre rabbitt hole we find ourselves in.

YAY I GET TO BE THIS GUY

not a kimono, it's a kesho-mawashi. once sumo wrestlers reach the two upper-most divisions, they have them made custom to express some part of their personality. They can express anything from inspirational iconography...

...to what enormous dorks they are.

I wish I remember the American sumo whose kesho-mawashi had a giant BUDWEISER logo of all things.

EDIT: Sentoryu, from St Louis (hence the Bud sponsorship). Couldn't find that one, but this one is way up there.

Spring Stampede 2000. Early in the show, Schiavone appears to be none-too-happy to be there. He stares into the camera just like that for almost all of Madden's speech.

Anybody subjected to Mark Madden would have that same expression.

I give you Mark Madden's finest moment:

So how exactly was a topless Mark Madden suppose to get people to flip tp Nitro?

Going for the chubby chaser demographic?

Nothing was going to get people to flip to Nitro at that point, so might as well have someone so obnoxious, with no redeeming qualities take a beating.

The asshole everyone hates gets beat up, it's an easy hit.

But couldn't he get beat up clothed?

This might be the last time Raw actively counter programmed Nitro. This was the night they did the Jericho title win and Dusty finish which aired during Nitro's opening segment. They grossly overestimated Russo. 

Which is a roundabout way of saying, WWE thought WCW was capable of changing the tide.

WWE had talked with Savage in 02, the bad blood came later. i think he had negotiated with them in 97/98.
