DVDVR Message Board

JULY 2020 WRESTLING DISCUSSION


Recommended Posts

I started lurking here in 2000 or 2001 when I was in high school, joined om 2002 for the first time but stopped around 05-06 because I just got bored with wrestling for a while, I think I joined again in 08 or 09 but I can't remember, maybe I just lurked again. Then I stopped watching except for the 'rumble and Mania until the Network started up and I joined again, got my account deleted by accident (had to email Rippa to get it reactivated) and I've been back since.

I used to post on the CRZ forms until I went to a different board with a splinter group but I stopped posting there around 05-06 too and never went back.

And despite, my avatar and location, mark me on the census as a black guy.

@Elsalvajeloco yeah e-feds are a pain in the ass to write matches for and if you have basically any real life responsibilities you don’t have enough time to put shows together with any regularity AND deal with people who get mad when they lose

so you need a lot of assistants, who also have their own booking ideas...

but for the couple months they last they’re pretty fun and I met some wonderfully strange people doing it (which ultimately led me here).

if some maniac actually tried to restart DVDVR the efed my fool ass would likely volunteer to assist them.

Bix blocked me solely because of something I said about him on here because I never said anything about him on Twitter and rarely get on Twitter.

Our shit was about Holly Holm because she was in a pay dispute (the first one before she got into UFC IIRC when they haggling over money, not the one from last year) at the time with Dana. That was an extremely weird hill to die on because it got solved rather quickly. I get some people absolutely loathe Dana, but these fighters aren't exactly represented by Drew Rosenhaus and the other mega agents like a Rich Paul now. OSJ can probably attest to this living in New Mexico and I can as a boxing fan...Lenny Fresquez is running tiny shows at casinos in Albuquerque. He ain't going to be the one to outsmart the UFC. Although one could argue she has had respectable paydays considering she was never the A side in any of her major fights. Like ever. Even when she was champion against Miesha on the McGregor/Diaz I card, she was on par with Miesha in terms of Q score after knocking out and being the first woman to defeat Ronda. That says a lot.

I remember on The Mayhem forum, some guy took the time to rebook the entire Invasion like at the tail end of it or just after it happened week-after-week writing out angles, storylines, and TV/PPV matches. And I was like.....these ideas are ACTUALLY good. That and e-feds were a big part of my online fandom.

Also, illegally downloading wrestling matches. Can't forget that.

This is why we need a DVDVR census because I still don't know how many black people we have, and I've been here at least fifteen years now. There is myself, Burgundy, supremebve, MADCAP since we got into a huge argument one time about blackness/race, and I think Execproducer (who can correct me if I'm wrong). Obviously, J.T.. There has to be more. That's five at least or maybe six though. There isn't the same number of women? 

I think the last time we did a headcount of women, we came up with only four or five.

I've been around here in some form for two decades, by the way. I've had long stretches of being a lurker, though.

I joined back before it was a message board, when it was just threaded posts that Rob Feinstein would spam incessantly.

 

That was my first iteration of the board,  too.  I'm pretty sure I was posting under my embarrassing teen AOL name back then.

If you could only see how much head shaking I'm doing as I move on...

Hey, I’m sorry. I don’t know you and shouldn’t make assumptions about you based on your political affiliations.

Lol, I’ll pretend you said 18...with Perverted Justice camcorder footage of RF on the run...and Bob Barnett supplying footage of it with each purchase from his site.

Latina floppies and bacon strip.

Mark Henry, super-worker

When PRIDE event results were posted in the MMA forum.

The death of tape trading.

Pics of Scott Keith that surfaced online.

Being like the third or fourth to post in the Sleaze Thread.

....good times.

Since we're all being nostalgic, I joined back in '05 if I had to guess. I remember the sleaze thread but I remember at least lurking before then. I pretty much quit watching wrestling around the Benoit murders but have always kept up with WWE and wrestling in general on this board. I appreciate the dialogue everyone here has and have found fun matches to watch over the years as well as great movie recommendations and videogame chat.

I was on the old green board in the late 90s (same user name) but stopped watching wrestling in 2002/2003. Came back about a decade later and was lurking for a long time (plus I kept having trouble registering/logging in). Definitely enjoy this little corner of the net. ?

E-feds were great. Totally hear how stressful it would be to run. If I went back and read old promos it would probably be cringeworthy with bad grammar. But I had fun doing them and made a few Internet friends.

My character was Paper Bag Man. Former hand model who lived the life of luxury until a car accident disfigured his face. His hands were gorgeous but no one would hire a hand model with a burnt face. Shunned from society, he covered his face with a paper bag and thought of ways to make people’s faces as disfigured as his with his gorgeous hands. Gimmick change  after a yearish of that lead to him finding God and becoming Father Bag Man. Fizzled our from there. Somewhere between that was in a nWo ripoff faction called the Bully World Order who would bring out lockers to lock our enemies in and make fun of there shoes. Midcarder the entire time but had fun.

Hopefully Cena does what Taker did and get outside bookings and have Vince freak out and give him like $5 million for a single match

I want Cena or Roman to do an outside booking like a New Japan or a AAA big show like Hogan did in.93 when he did that Muta match and tried to work an angle with Inoki while he was there. 

Jericho doesn't count because he was booked as a mid card during his last run before he started working NJ.

I could swear that Shayna brought Dakota to her parent's house for Thanksgiving because Dakota posted about how good it felt to be welcomed or something along those lines.

Whenever two people are pictured together.....  it's internet 101 to assume something is going on.  Any two people.

Yo @Smelly McUgly have you seen Trainwreck? Cuz what you described is pretty much his role in that movie just swap Topher Grace with Bill Hader and you got the movie.

Oh God no, I don't subject myself to Amy Schumer.

But that sounds like the perfect role for him.

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned being black at least once or twice.

I also remember @Eivion having a surname at one point. 

Its Thanatos. I still use it for PSN. I just dropped it here after the last time the board died horribly years ago.

Wait, what? I sure as hell missed that. Then again, I've already told you guys which subforums I frequent.

White latino here. Born in Boston to Puerto Rican parents and no, I don't have a conga drum or Puerto Rican flag tattoos. ??‍♂️?

Preferred the RF footage set to Flock of Seagulls “I ran” that was posted here. 
 

Never could track down the video posted in the MMA section that took the Bj Penn/Matt Hughes rivalry and turned it in to a love story set to Britney Spears’ “Hit me Baby One More Time”.

replying to multiple questions!

"______ will die for your sins" is the one I do most consciously, as well as "fuck or fight friday night" and a couple of more specific phrases that are more like references to events on this board that I'll decline to state at this time.

I came to the board like two days before the sleaze thread and was told by the person who brought me here to just lurk and not mention how I got here or who referred me. In their defense I was a kid that was MUCH more prone to moodswings.

and yeah i was one of the match writers for two different attempts at the DVDVR fed. If anyone wanted to bring the shit back I think doing it via Fire Pro is the move cuz that way you can cut promos and then no one has to write matches, but I advocated for that the last time bringing the fed back came up and got a big fat No, so.

EDIT: lmao this is my 2000th post

I miss Rev Ray's Big Book of Wrestling Moves.  Before you could just find gifs or videos of everything I spent a long time reading that and trying to picture weird puro moves.
