AxB Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Ventura was well better than Heenan, if you consider them solely in terms of their WCW work. Peak Heenan was great, but he has an awful lot of late career terrible performances where he wasn't trying. Even when he was brought back for that wrestlemania battle royal, he went straight into Nitro autopilot, calling Mean Gene 'Tony' and that. Whilst Jesse was always good.

Brian Fowler Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Jesse was really bad at times in WCW as well, culminating in him basically throwing a fit on air on ppv over them hiring Hogan. Which actually was hilarious, other then him hanging poor Tony out to dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olythegreat89 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Jesse was smart enough to see the writing on the wall with Hogan’s hire. Vince was able to keep Hogan in check, Eric on the other hand, not so much. Would’ve been interesting if he stayed around during the Monday Night Wars. Maybe he would’ve been in Zbyszko’s role bashing the NWO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are any of you affording it, or are you all just getting tickets to WM and not messing around with any of these packages? I'd love to go a midwest WM again, but I can't imagine spending $1500+ on tickets to Takeover, WM, Raw, etc. Hell - I can barely afford to stream everything I'm going to want to see over WrestleMania weekend, let alone even think about going to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 For all my Toronto peeps...my friends and I are working on doing a Q&A/meet and greet over SummerSlam weekend with a very famous wrestling personality.

Way better than Zbyszko’s “New World Oder”. ...And we know for fucks sure in the past 5 years Jesse legit was always suspicious about the New World Order. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 That's a great what if for Ventura. If he stayed with WCW and was in Larry's spot of standing up to the NWO. Would Jesse have wrestled in that situation? I know he has the blood clots issue, but I kinda doubt he would have been doing heavy bumping. It was Jesse after all.

I'm pretty sure that Jesse's blood clot issue was along the lines of "if you wrestle, there's a good chance that you will die", level of seriousness. Even when he wrestled full-time he was hardly a bump machine. Like I said before, in the East/West Connection, Adonis did all the heavy lifting for the team, Ventura looked kind of impressive, but really didn't do much. In his film roles there's always a stunt double or three, pretty sure he has to be extremely careful what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Sorry to break in on the announcer discussion but the side tangent story in the Arn Anderson report Quote Fightful soon after reported that Alicia Fox was offered rehab, but instead went absent to the extent that several in the company had no idea if she was offered rehab or where she was. She has not competed in a match since February 10, when he teamed with Mickie James and Nikki Cross in a losing effort against Bayley, Dana Brooke and Natalya. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Drinking is allowed outside of work hours, but not on the job presumably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I mean, the Usos have both done a little more than "drink outside of work". DUIs and confronting police officers while intoxicated are pretty dangerous acts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC metro area is about a 2 hour drive for us. I got the presale codes for WrestleMania tickets and got them that morning. We got NXT tickets the morning they went on sale and then got tickets for NJPW/ROH on the secondary market. On tickets alone I spent about $600 in total after fees and taxes.

Still their drinking escapades have me thinking they need to be sent a message to lay off the sauce. But then I think they may be afraid to do that again after what happened to Jamal.

Ryan Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Drinking on your own time as a legal adult is your own business. If you show up to a job out of sorts; then, it becomes a company problem and a potential legal nightmare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Also, considering F4W is re-posting the info from the other sites, I would assume they've vetted it enough to know it's probably true. Sorry, @hammerva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamal Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Man, this whole Alicia Fox situation is sad. It’s obvious from some of her podcast interviews that she’s got some demons and seems a little lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 My belief is if you fire Arn, then you need to fire Alicia Fox. If she doesn't show up in no condition to work, Arn doesn't ultimately make the wrong decision. Road Dogg got fired for the same thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arn is the sober adult in this conversation and that's not good. (And believe me, Arn is my favorite wrestler of all time, so I'm not coming from that place). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
