Whoa, whoa, WHOA.... Orndorff is #1 on that list by a wide margin. Paul calls Hogan on the phone, Hogan is too busy to answer, Paul takes it personally, loses it and beats the shit out of him. In today's world, Paul is a fucking psycho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even own a mobile phone until three months ago. And I only got one then because my boss bought one for me (he needed me to have one, for work). I'd happily do without.

Spritenaut 32 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I gotta admit... when I see a younger person (under 50, if not older) who doesn't carry a mobile phone of some sort, I get curious as to why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The Bellas turn on Rousey was shocking. I mean, they’d been close, close friends for hours. Maybe even days! That’s no way to treat your best friend that you met for the first time last week. They’d traveled the backstage area together, up and down the hallways. It’s just sad that they’d throw that all away because...uh...because of...um...some reason. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 44. And I didn't have a mobile phone because I couldn't get out of the 80s mindset that owning one made you a self-important wanker. Of course, you're expected to be a self-important wanker now. It's a nice surprise to meet someone who isn't. A very rare nice surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't bother with NWA... As for monetary success, the fed that had more periods of making money, made the most money, more boom periods that made money etc. The most profits and revenue made over years and periods matter to this category. Is the winner for second place. Even if CMLL is the longest-running promotion in the world and the top lucha promotion out there...saying that CMLL is number one in the world and WWE is number two somehow manages to make the argument "no, WCW is not number two because they lost money, but CWF or Portland is because they were in the black even if no one saw it" somehow seem credible by comparison.

I never said CMLL is the number one successful in money. Only in longevity as staying around. The question wasn't about global reach either. Stop seeing things that aren't there.

twiztor Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 somewhere in this #2 promotion question, there is a solid discussion. unfortunately, it's buried by failure to listen/comprehend, blindness to arguments, and outright stubbornness.

When taking into account, both peak and longevity. This was the question. Not a single fed would tick all boxes because certain feds have one thing over the other.

Hagan Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Dunno if it's been mentioned but Cena is on the Jimmy Traina SI podcast. Really interesting long-form interview. Cena is a really interesting, weird dude. Very guarded and I get the feeling that he's fucking with the interviewer with how earnest and positive he is but a pretty revealing look at what's going on with him.

elizium Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 19 hours ago, nofuture said: Those betrayals were justified, Hogan was a jerk to them. Orndorff sure, but not Andre. We never saw Andre ask for a title shot, so we can't say for sure whether Hulk would or would not have granted it. Something like that would likely be out of the champ's hand and a decision to be made by Tunney or some championship committee. (Did the WWF ever have a kayfabe championship committee?) Plus, it's not Hulk's fault that they gave him a bigger trophy than Andre. He did make a point of coming out and congratulating him in person. Savage was 1000% justified in turning on Hulk. Those jealous eyes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
