Can't forget the folical pioneers. He can go in the Founders' Wing! 1 hour ago, Log said: My wife tolerates my wrestling fandom. But there are two things that she absolutely cannot stand in wrestling: 1. Wrestlers with dripping wet hair. AJ Styles is her favorite current wrestler solely because he comes to the ring with dry hair. 2. Wrestlers who wear trunks with a t-shirt or jacket. She calls it “disturbing”. AJ Styles' hair is ridiculous, though. He looks like a failed country singer and that beard isn't fooling anybody as far as hiding his weak chin goes. My pet peeve is wrestlers who wear trunks and boots, but no kneepads. It's tremendous what a difference kneepads make. Boots, trunks, kneepads = pro wrestler. Just boots and trunks = pervert in underwear and Doc Martens. We need an ongoing Wrestling Fashion thread where we can just go all Mr. Blackwell on these dudes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Keith Flint (RIP)'s haircut is just Road Warrior Hawk plus hair dye though. Vader actually asked Hawk's permission before he went double Mohawk, you know. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Trunks, Asics, kickpads, long-sleeved t-shirt you never take off. That's the look, everybody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 RIP Keith Flint. When he died, I read a story about how he ran a pub in his later years. He kept a money jar over the fireplace to fine people who made the obvious joke when he was putting in some kindling. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luther Reigns had a short but funny role in 2004's The Girl Next Door. For a rom-com, it's an enjoyable movie. Plus, it has Timothy Olyphant playing a porn producer, the insanely hot Elisha Cuthbert, and Emile Hirsch. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all standing there, waiting for him to come out, and then we gear it, booming over the PA system: "Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort" BOOOOOOOOooooooo!

I remember Ace Steel referring to Sterling James Keenan as a CM Punk clone and Chad Collyer (whom Steel was feuding with at the time) as a half-assed Malenko clone.

Spontaneous Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 We need to dig up the Johnny kickpad discussion from months ago if we're talking about fashion in wrestling.

Simple yet effective, the last person I remember doing it regularly was Booker T. Rey Mysterio did it last night. I’m not sure he was expecting the crowd to count along because he just blew through all 10 with no delay or embellishments on the last punch. 33 minutes ago, Nice Guy Eddie said: Luther Reigns had a short but funny role in 2004's The Girl Next Door.

Hide contents I always like to imagine him going out to fancy dinners with his wife (assuming he has a wife) and her having to tell all her co-workers/friends/relatives: ”It’s for a role.” “Well no he’s a wrestler actually” ”Well he, uh, died and was brought back to life by a guy named Destro...” ”Can we just move on?” 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I like to imagine he wears Bret's jacket out to fine dining establishments. Possibly, the eye patch as well. Also, Collyer went as Chad Malenko at times, so it's basically true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show started with an "Introducing the Fighters" deal like PRIDE, so everyone in that actually did it twice. Viet Muller and Tim Thatcher were on the show, and they're both Ringkampf guys, Der Matte ist Helig (the Mat is Sacred) and all that. Not the type of guys you'd want to antagonise needlessly. Or needfully, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more 40/60 with Sylvia but we need more people being super petty about that, like Owen and his Slammy. I wanna feel like it means something.

Tim Sylvia was a kid with terrible self esteem issues, who thought growing up and becoming heavyweight champion would solve all his problems. He reached that goal and everyone still treated him like a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
