ReiseReise Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 16 hours ago, Ryan said: I've been looking for the video of CM Punk being an unathletic dork in the Liger workouts from his Shoot. It amused me greatly. The morons commenting on how he's "working" being shitty at it amuse me. "He was the head trainer at the ROH school!" Yes, and they were all horrible and fell out of the business. To be fair, I'm pretty sure Punk didn't nearly have the amount of training any NJPW dojo Student had at that time. That being said, early 2000 Indy-darlings were mostly shite regarding their level of training, both athletically and ring-psychologically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Pick an indy-darling. Fat as fuck Chris Hero was an amazing athlete and so was Bryan Danielson as were many others. Super Dragon before his knees got all fucked up. Samoa Joe was a very good athlete too. Colt Cabana was quite athletic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, anyone who came up in a Japanese Dojo has to have great fundamentals because until you have them down, you aren't allowed to do anything else. Whereas at some point American trainers went from that system (if you listen to Flair or Steamboat describing their training in the AWA school, it sounds pretty similar to the Japanese style... hell, even Jericho & Storm's Hart Brothers training, although that sounds a lot shorter and easier) to a real basic, like here's how to bump, here's how to flip bump, here's how to run the ropes, here's how to Moonsault, here's how to Canadian Destroyer, congratulations, you're trained! Only took a fortnight*! * Two weeks. Apparently Americans don't know that. 2 minutes ago, Ryan said: Pick an indy-darling.

Colt Cabana was quite athletic too. There are Ace Steel interviews where he talked about training Cabana and Punk. He'd show them something, Punk would take three hours and countless fails to learn it, Cabana would try it once and hit it perfectly. But Colt was an athlete, he played American Football in College. Whereas Punk was banned from High School football for having a mohawk (he claims. Possibly he washed out for being lanky and uncoordinated and the hair was his excuse).

Ryan Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Note: I'm not sure if those guys in the Liger session were in for a seminar or from the LA Dojo at the time. I'd have to go back and watch the whole thing. It didn't just focus on Punk or something. It was just an overview of all kinds of things. I remember Rocky Romero being there if my memory isn't failing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't by any means his fault alone, but he was neither the athlete nor worker he turned into after receiving better training. Super Dragon quit AJPW dojo I believe because he couldn't deal with running. Danielson was a freak even back then, I'll always give you that.

When your game is named after the stuff that punters and kickers do except in less interesting ways than soccer players do it, your game is trash. 34 minutes ago, Nice Guy Eddie said: Human Tornado was awesome.

Looking at his body type and his wrestling style, his eventual lack of knees or working leg muscles was clearly in his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean more 2003 and later for Hero, not his earlier days. After all the seminars and extra training. That broken neck thing is bad though. I remember him talking about it, but it's been so long.

L_W_P Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 So the wife & I were talking about who we would cast in a WWE Studios remake of The Princess Bride. We came up with the following - Westley - Finn Balor Buttercup - Becky Lynch Humperdink - The Miz Rugen - Elias Vizzini - Paul Heyman Fezzik - Big Show Inigo Montoya - Seth Rollins Miracle Max - Daniel Bryan Valerie - Bree Bella And of course it would be Triple H or Vince reading to the kids. Obviously WWE would push others but who would you guys/girls cast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
