NOVEMBER 2018 WRESTLING DISCUSSION.


Recommended Posts

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.

I thought Fortnite was one of dem dere vidya gamez you play on the screenamajig with the hockey puck and typewriter. Alas, we have failed you in our knowledge of words. I learned it from the Simpsons!

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.

Fat as fuck Chris Hero was kind of uncoordinated and reckless in the ring and broke a some (German) kids neck in Switzerland. 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.

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).

I can't see that skinny kid in the photo with Austin being anywhere near interested in playing football

The President appears ready to fire Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.  

And the name that's being floated as a replacement is Linda McMahon.  

Thanks, this has been your "How did politics invade a portion of my life I never thought it would?" post of the day.

Does Human Tornado count as an indie darling? Fantastic, pretty athletic wrestler, lanky as he was, and a hell of a dunker, too.

It's just called "football." Or "real football," if you must. 

It's just Rugby with extra rules and you know it. The hell you doing calling it football when the ball only hits feet if something has gone wrong somewhere? That's not football, that's Throw and Run Ball.

Human Tornado was awesome. It was disappointing he had so many injuries. I remember he got injured as soon as he was going to start appearing regularly in ROH.

Nah, I call it CTE-ball. 

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.

Looking at his body type and his wrestling style, his eventual lack of knees or working leg muscles was clearly in his future.

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.

This was my first exposure to Human Tornado.

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?

 

Vince reading to The Grandson whilst intermittently swigging Red Bull and taking bumps of coke, and the story getting more and more erratic and featuring stories about Dr Jerry Graham and his abusive childhood would be money.

No kids, that's not cocaine. Don't listen to the DARE officers at school. Grandpa Vince takes Goody's headache powder, and he finds the fastest way for it to work for him is snorting it through a rolled up $100 dollar bill.

I think this is a great list, the only change I might make is Sami for Seth.

I don't really like Finn for Westley yet I'm not sure I can think of a better choice either. I kind of like Tyler Bate for it if we could extend to NXT UK.

In Other news: https://lastwordonprowrestling.com/2018/11/08/meiko-satomura-tells-yahoo-japan-shell-be-back-in-wwe-in-2019/. Looks like we can expect Meiko to pop up somewhere for match or two next year.
