matt925 222 Posted August 13, 2018 20 hours ago, Victator said: And of course WWE told us it was not real. I have been to more than a few live shows and what I found is that Kayfabe is not dead. That fans want to believe and will if you give them even an inch of wiggle room. If WWE went to treating everything as real. Most fans would be happy. But the idea would embarrass the McMahon family and a small percentage of fans. But Kayfabe is not dead, it is a demon locked in a tomb. Absolutely. It all comes down to them literally telling us that nothing matters. If they don’t care, neither will the fans except for some weird cult ones. Present everything as if it means something. That should be the #1 philosophy for any business, but especially for something fake. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BurningBeard 3,811 Posted August 13, 2018 I can't tell if David has been studying Steiner maths. And if he hasn't, what's the other 10% of what pro wrestling is? Ring rats and blow? No, wait, it's a different time now. Is the other 10% video games and Twitch? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So my chances of getting it drastic go up. So you take my 80 and 2/3% chance of getting it, and add the 30% chance of getting the hard stuff. Minus Kurt Angle because he already gets it and he KNOWS he won't even try. Then you add the 10% and I got a 120 and 2/3rds chance of getting it. 2 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Fowler 13,138 Posted August 14, 2018 So, Dino Bravo might be the worst worker to ever have a multi-year run with a major company. I learned this for dumb reasons, but i learned it.

BurningBeard 3,811 Posted August 14, 2018 Fuck you for bringing that into here but seriously, what's with all the weird new accounts and their odd topics? Anyway, I think the most bizarre factoid to come out of Neidhart's passing is that Meltzer, in his infernal wisdom, only gave Hart Foundation v Brain Busters from Summerslam 89 (aka one of the greatest PPV opening matches in history) two stars.

I think Bravo was the first wrestler I realized was bad. To be fair, from what I have seen, he was good in Canada. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxB 5,891 Posted August 14, 2018 It's called a Pavement Suplex in Europe. In '89 Meltzer was most likely on a total Flair & Steamboat worship deal, and would refuse to acknowledge that anyone in Vinceville was capable of having a good match. And an awful lot of those guys were absolutely terrible, to be fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
