LoneWolf&Subs Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Remember before the Jack Swagger’s, and Sheamus’s of the world won world titles how winning the big one felt like a wrestler had just won a key to the city? Like they could walk into a restaurant, and get a table in seconds without reserving. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Again, breaking my personal rule to not link to anything on Reddit, but my god, I looked at this and laughed my ass off. So...Ryback did an AMA. It went about as well as you can imagine. For starters, I don't think Ryback understood you have to reply to someone's question with your answer. He would just add new comments to the thread that were an answer to something, but reading them out of context is hilarious. And if he did actually reply to a question, it was nonsense. https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/bgl8od/the_big_guy_ryback_ama/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Pretty sure the only title switch I’ve seen in person is Mero going over Faarooq in the IC-Title tourney. That same set of TV tapings was the TV debut of fake Razor/Diesel, I believe. Way better than any title switch! Ha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I vaguely recall them cutting to Reddick in the crowd at a Houston PPV following their world series victory. Though I may be misremembering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His verbal sparring with Hogan leading up to Wrestlemania was stellar. I think Jericho said it best "You don't know what he says, but you want to." Warrior had a lot of charisma and good delivery. His promos sound like the ravings of the maniac and that was the character. Him and Sting ran some parallel paths as promos. Sting had this great energy and crazy promos, then he was taught the "right" way and was never the same as a promo. The same thing happened to Warrior, but worse. The more Warrior improved, the more charisma he lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Orton beating Bray and Brock over Goldberg at Mania 32. Buddy Murphy over Cedric at Super Showdown. Rhyno beating Jarrett for the WWA title. Think that's about it. Rest of that mania weekend is a bit of a blur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I've seen both the WWF and NWA (Crockett) titles change hands. I was at the Bash when Sting beat Flair in 1990 and at Survivor Series 1995 when Bret beat Diesel. I also saw the WCW title switch, sort of, at the 91 Bash when Luger beat Windham for the vacant title at that awful, awful show. Heel vs heel, I think I saw Flair defend against Koloff at a Bunkhouse Stampede tour stop. Pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
