The Comedian Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 1 hour ago, AxB said: What is X-Pac's career highlight, since he started using the name X-Pac? Because other than becoming a synonym for the wrong type of crowd scorn, I can't think of one. Arguably he was salvageable the whole time, but he never did get salvaged, did he? It was all pretty much downhill after the hot re-debut promo where he shot on Bischoff and Hogan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully nobody in creative has seen the movie "Lars and the Real Girl", or heard about Kota Ibushi wrestling a blow up doll in DDT and assumed that rather than it being an actual blow up doll, it meant a wrestler doing a blow up doll gimmick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing the beard killed him. He wanted to look older, tougher and hide his weak chin. But looking young and weak was his main asset. Also the breaking of the size barrier meant suddenly he went from being the WWF's best movez~! guy* in 1993/94 (before the Monday Night Wars, anyway) to being a mediocre skinny guy after the InVasion. And that Cornette RAW promo where he said Waltman was the only guy in the war who was allowed to leave one side and join the other no problem, a few months before Syxx-Pac was allowed to leave the other side and rejoin the first one No problem. * Except Owen Hart.

Phantom Lord Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 3 hours ago, Nice Guy Eddie said: I've been a fan since his indy days, but WWE had two chances to have him break away from Bray, turn face, and didn't capitalize. The fans were getting behind him when he was skeptical of Randy in the Wyatt Family. Much like Claudio, he works great as a base for small wrestlers. I said very early on that if he and Cesaro were given 20 minutes on ppv and held nothing back, they'd both be instantly over. I mean if you look at that Orton match, it started off boring as shit (like most Orton matches) but about midway through Harper did something to light a fire in Randy and the second half of the match is pretty damn good. Personally what I see in Harper is a big guy who can do all the big guy moves but he can also do some cruiserweight stuff just to make things interesting. He can actually talk which seems to be a rare thing for guys his size these days. At the very least there is no reason why he shouldn't be someone's Big Bubba Rogers at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Quote WWE has announced a new in-ring Network special for later this month. "Smackville" will take place at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday, July 27 and will air live on the WWE Network. The event was previously scheduled as just being a house show. Two matches have been confirmed for the special, and it will also feature a musical performance by Elias. Kofi Kingston will defend the WWE Championship against Samoa Joe and Dolph Ziggler in a triple threat match. Plus, Finn Balor will face Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura in a rematch from Extreme Rules. Kingston retained the WWE Championship against Joe at Extreme Rules this Sunday. He also retained against Ziggler at both Super ShowDown and Stomping Grounds. Nakamura won the Intercontinental title from Balor on the Extreme Rules pre-show. Smackville will begin on the WWE Network at 9 p.m. Eastern time on July 27. WWE hasn't announced how long the special will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Loved the techno Bruiser Brody look. Wish he was younger. Could’ve been a great full-time addition to the Nitro roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 WCW had so many fun power wrestlers -Nord, Mike Enos, Wrath etc.- who would carve a path of destruction through jobbers on Thunder or WCWSN and you’d watch them and think “This is going somewhere, Mike Enos hasn’t lost a match in two months” and then they’d suddenly get fed to Goldberg, Nash, some nWo guy and that would be that. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, the series "Intervention" is doing another six-part series about the opioid epidemic. It may or may not be called "Smackville". I remember they did a series on the Boston area's epidemic. IIRC, the new one centers around Viriginia, West Virginia, and Ohio.

LoneWolf&Subs Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Slow Chemical was a catchy entrance song. I liked that it started at the lyrics “Every intuition fails to find its way...”. Very catchy hook. Benoit’s theme was also a banger. In the pre-YouTube days I sometimes would leave the menu running on his DVD just to hear it. Edit: We are talking about horrible wrestling songs that we like right? Edited July 19, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedbynumbers Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I was a huge Our Lady Peace fan before they did Benoit's theme. After the tragedy of Benoit, OLP stopped playing the song live. It was/is called "Whatever" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
