It was a well dodgy tweet though: I thought rovert was a glitch in the social media matrix. That he's an actual breathing entity makes me weep for humanity.

sabremike Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 WhatCulture just did a video on the 10 greatest squash matches and #1 was Goldberg vs La Parka from Nitro in June 1998. If you could go back in time and tell someone watching it that one of them would be a Hall Of Famer and headliner for decades and it's not Goldberg what would they think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'd be a big surprise, honestly. Goldberg was smart. He got in, made a fuckton of money, got out, only returning for short periods where he could make a fuckton more money. I'm not knocking him. He's smart to have done it that way, and escape with his health, so he's able to do other things and enjoy his family time. I just always got vibe that you can tell this guy doesn't love wrestling, just what wrestling can do for him.

Yes, the guy who was in his mid 40s twenty five years ago. He's a 70 year old now.) And he worked circles around just about anyone else on the show.

MORELOCK Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I'm sure if you went back in time and started talking about how only Meltzer's Hall of Fame counts and WWE's isn't real, the person being spoken to would probably think "I'm going to walk away from this conversation and person." 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCW didn't have a *real* HoF. Why would you think either Goldberg OR La Parka would be included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotcha, his tweet seemed like he was talking from the perspective of, uh, "regular," "normal" American folk, if that's the terminology that we're going to stipulate to. I hate myself for spending this many posts on rovert, so I'm just going to move on from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got into it with him a while back when Stokely Hathaway signed with NXT, and they changed his name to Court Moore. I asked Bix if it meant they were going back to changing every new signee's name, and that Irish twat lit me up for not knowing that it was a rib on Court Bauer, and said that I was a dumbass for thinking anything else. NXT then went on to sign a bunch of indie wrestlers over the next couple of weeks, and changed all of their names. TL;DR: Fuck Rovert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when he debuted, I said to my friend "I know there's a lot of big muscular dudes in wrestling, but that man is as big as a house!" but even at his height in WWE, I never expected him to be any kind of crossover star. But I just watched 'Stuber' on the weekend, and, man, he is SO good in that. He's actually just a genuine star 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdangerously Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) This was the moment I knew that Big Dave had acting chops. Terrible movie, and RVD stinks, but Dave really shined.

LoneWolf&Subs Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) The whole section where Ja Rule, and Batista get pissed off at each other had to have been improvised by them.
