JULY 2020 WRESTLING DISCUSSION

[Octopus 1,202]

Speaking of owners on twitter

 

Reading some of the comments is absolutely disgusting. In a birthday tweet about someone’s mother is not the time to spaz about wrestling. 

[BurningBeard 4,305]

That’s twitter for you, it’s an abhorrent horror show that needs to disappear

[Andy in Kansas 12,591]

Vince will be spared as he doesn't strike me as the type who's going to follow up and read the replies. 

[caley 3,408]

But then Twitter goes and gives you this!

Bill Banks, of late-era WCW infamy, told the Mongo account that Banks and WCW wanted to bring back Mongo in 2000 and have him reveal that he was the one who ran over Steve Austin with his car as retaliation for him stealing away Debra.  In essence, they were going to hijack WWE's storyline and finish it off themselves.  But Mongo had no interest in coming back after Bischoff had been let go.

[Brian Fowler 14,521]

That would've been amazingly pretty and kinda awesome

[AxB 9,338]

So was Rikishi actually driving the car that put Macho Man's car off the road (or whatever mystery driver angle it was that WCW dropped like a stone)?

Maverick is also the third best roller coaster at Cedar Point.

Gemini at #1?

#1 in my book anyway.

I always liked Magnum because no one can find the entrance and I can ride it five times in 15 minutes. 

[Jiji 9,993]

Is that Funk twitter account real? CHECKMARK THAT MAN IMMEDIATELY.

You're not wrong. I haven't been there in forever, but when I used to go, I remember my group trying to figure out where Magnum was by sight and we'd just wind up in a dead end.

I need to get back there to try whatever replaced the shitty Mean Streak.

[Andy in Kansas 12,591]

I've got Souled Out '98 on in the background and I just finished Nash vs the Giant. Best bit is after the finish with the botched powerbomb where Giant gets dropped on his head and neck, Hogan is mugging to the camera and says "I taught him that move!" Just... *chef's kiss*

Steel Vengeance. It’s pretty solid. Would probably be in my Top-3 there with Millennium and Maverick(Gatekeeper may sneak in too)

Wrestling-related, Steel Vengeance sounds like the name of some shitty Supershow the AWA would put out in 1989.

Speaking of Terry Funk and Twitter, has anyone started a "Terry Funk Sells Things Hilariously" Twitter account yet? If someone hasn't already, someone needs to. They can start with a GIF of him selling a cowboy boot shot from Dustin Rhodes IIRC in the 1994 WarGames match where he falls down in the most rigid, slow motion fall manner possible. Someone needs to do this thing and THEN show it to Terry to get his reaction to his own selling.

If there's anything that can cleanse Twitter like a bucket full of holy water, it's the presence of Terry Funk. Please post everything he puts up here from now on.

[Death From Above 4,863]

The debate is over.

Every tweet needs to be the clip of him yelling "MY EYE!"

[Jiji 9,993]

I think that account was fake. It's been deleted.

I think we all know we didn't really deserve it. 

[Tromatagon 8,984]

The account was 100% fake come on

[Death From Above 4,863]

I don't care. It was a chance to talk about Terry Funk.

I'd talk about Terry Funk forever.

 

 

[Elsalvajeloco 7,745]

Since I didn't get to the forever clip fast enough, I am going with ole reliable. 

[Six String Orchestra 827]

Wait a minute, are you really saying that I’m not a Twitter user? You’re saying that I’m not good enough, aren’t you?
