clintthecrippler Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I have joked on here for years now that kayfabe died for me when I found out that Maneukea Mossman was just some dude and not a gimmick wrestler based on the He-Man character, and over the last page, I thank those of you that have made me feel the most "not alone" I have ever felt on this board. That, and kayfabe also died for me when ICP's Fat Fuck Barrel Boy took the barrel off before wrestling his match. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Remember Scotty too Hotty's set up move for the Worm? The leaping double handed head shove thing? They never named that move. It was always just called Modified Bulldog. And in this case, modified is the polite word for shite. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a bulldog if it comes from the Bouledouge region of France, otherwise it's just a sparkling facebuster. 6 3 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Man I watched a lot of Taiyo Keo matches because I was a really big Mutoh PuroLove AJ mark. I even watched his 60 minute draw with SUWAMA. He's "good hand" good, but not "inspire you to buy a ticket" good. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also better in the ring. Goto should have least been champ over Makabe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coletti Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Okay, "sucked" was a little harsh for Kea, I guess it was probably easy to get outshined by the absolute legends he was around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I remember reading about Maunakea Mossman in old Death Valley Drivers and my imagination running wild of this Swamp Thing-themed luchadore wrestling Kawada. I was bummed when I saw what he really looked like, the name change was a good call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I like how Native Hawaiians are so underrepresented in pro wrestling that people take a look at their names and instantly go "hmmm...". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Quick follow up regarding Charlotte (and this is combination of reporting from PWI, Pro Wrestling Sheet and others) Apparently in addition to the surgery - it is being done to coincide with that she asked to take time off So the word on the street is that she will not be back until Rumble (obviously things could definitely change with that last part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromatagon Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) I was wrong. He was Aaron Grundy who was supposed to be his brother. They pretty much just had a hillbilly gimmick though. http://www.luchawiki.com/index.php/Salomon_Grundy He also worked World Class Edited June 24, 2020 by Tromatagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily she just gave an interview recently about trying to decide when it was the right time to have kids (because she wants them) and she said Andrade is ready.
