Seems like this might be the third or fourth wwe/wwf performer to have issues with their implants needing to be fixed (and not just enlarged). 3 or 4 might be way too conservative. Anyway, the moral of the story is the more things change, the more they stay the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Props to @The Naturalfor his WWE match of the year list, used it to catch up on the year on their side of things. WWE: AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan on Smackdown Live, 6th June by far. I'd also recommend Thatcher/Riddle's Fight Pit on NXT TV (27th May), Imperium and Undisputed Era going at it on World's Collide and The Undertaker's Boneyard match vs. AJ Styles at WrestleMania XXXVI. NJPW: Kazuchika Okada vs. Kota Ibushi and Tetsuya Naito on Wrestle Kingdom 14. Gave the full ***** to both. AEW: Kenny Omega/Adam Page vs. The Young Bucks from AEW Revolution (*****), Omega vs. PAC's 30 Minute Iron Man match three days earlier on Dynamite and The Elite vs. Inner Circle's Stadium Stampede at AEW Double or Nothing II. Overall? It's between Okada/Ibushi from NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 14 or Omega/Page vs. The Young Bucks on AEW Revolution. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I just realised that Zach Galifanakis' wolfpack promo in the Hangover has a lot of similarities to the one DDP gives when he gets asked to join the Wolfpac and rambles for ages until Rodman and Hogan attack him.

I said it was implant related the day it came out, and everyone told me I was body shaming her, or talking about a woman’s body at a time where it wasn’t acceptable. Anyways I hope Charlotte has a speedy recovery, and that the issue gets properly fixed this time for her long term health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Not for nothing but “Implant Buster” is a great sounding finisher name..: ...and given this is Vince run WWE we’re talking about, I fully expect Charlotte to be debuting this move on her return. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Thanks to that blood freak thread, I went down a memory lane trip and began watching old Puerto Rican wrestling clips on YouTube. Here's Carlos Colón and Savio Vega shooting on live TV about Carlitos getting suspended by WWE for failing a drug test. Things get heated and Savio pops open a pill bottle and tosses them on Carlos and tells him "here, I brought you a gift so you can take it to Carly" and Carlos get worked up and walks off the set.

How’s it a complex when it’s true with the example I gave. Just look up the post I referenced, and you’ll see negative replies to it. Nevermind the fact it was an accurate post, but hey every guy is clearly body shaming right? Hell the one troll that recently changed his username and liked your post called me out for it when I posted last month that it was breast related. But hey we all love @Jiji and his incredibly great insights right? Edited July 13, 2020 by MavsFan77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) I didn’t know that implant problems were still a thing. I remember when it happened to Chyna. I guess I’d just assumed there had been advancements since then, or at the very least the surgeons would recommend the kind that would be less of an issue when taking bumps.

Back when I was watching, it seemed like it was an every other month occurrence that someone was getting taken off the road. The big problem is that the style of pro wrestling hasn't become less physical, it's become way more physical to the point where putting something like that in your body is extremely dangerous even with modern advancements.

Double Underhook Facebuster, only elevated like the FFF or Yamakawa's move, rather than straight down like a Pedigree. Angelina Love's Big Boot finisher was called the Botox Injection, because Russo hates women. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRR Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I thought according to that movie with Ross from friends about the actual guy who invented breast implants that they eventually switched from Silicon to Saline because of the dangers of the former.

Elsalvajeloco Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) BTW for those who don't follow MMA or boxing, a few years ago, there was this whole thing with Pearl Gonzalez being pulled off a UFC card (and then subsequently allowed to fight) in Buffalo by the NYSAC after she declared on her pre-fight medical form that she had breast implants. They just had made rule that no one with breast implants would be allowed to fight in the state of New York. Four years prior to that, Louisiana declared a two or three month moratorium on allowing fighters with breast implants to fight after someone got their implant ruptured during a fight. It makes me wonder how the WWE could skirt these regulations. Even if the states don't sanction pro wrestling and look the other way, who's going to be on the hook for something happening to a performer? You would think the WWE would be a lot more proactive with this because visual aesthetics are much more important in this career endeavor and the reason why the performers are getting stuff like this done in the first place.

The most important Women's match of all time is the series of matches between The Crush Gals and Dump Matsumoto's army in the 80s. Inspired a generation of young girls to aspire to emulate them. AJW's dojo was so talent rich that future charismatic super workers like Megumi Kudo washed out as showing lesser potential. And the Chigusa fans that made it big set a standard for wrestling that few since can even dream of matching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women’s wrestling did not exist before ~2015 when it was invented by Stephanie McMahon. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The late 90s at the earliest? That would like a running back having his best year at age 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
