Matt D Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 If Ricky Steamboat had wrestled under his real name, The Circumcision would have been the perfect name for his finisher. I want Ben or Gregg or someone to come in and write an essay about how Steamboat changed his fate of being the biggest heel of the last quarter of the 20th century when he chose the name Steamboat instead, thus channeling the greatest hero of the first half of the 20th century, Mickey Mouse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Just finished the 50 Years of WWE. That is one awkwardly put together piece. The pre-expansion stuff is really good (including a trip to Larry Land), but then the narrative definitely gets wonky. Extraordinarily odd segment on Owen's death. Not that he doesn't deserve more exposure and honors, but his death is almost framed as being the "end of the Attitude Era," which definitely isn't the case.

Only if Gregg's essay somehow ties into a girl that broke his heart in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonL21 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Random, but did Buff Bagwell innovate the Blockbuster or was he the first here in the States that actually started doing it? Anyone know if he is doing well? I know he got into a bad car accident a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Randomish idea: Have a match with at least one wrestler from every Wrestlemania at Wrestlemania 30. Here's the best short list I could figure out for people who could be in this match (not counting dark matches) Piper (1,2,3,6,8,12,25) Valentine (1,2,3,4,5,7) Rikishi (9,13,16,20) Mabel/Viscera/Big Daddy V/etc (10,16) Billy Gunn (11,14,15,18) Road Dogg (14,15,16) Bradshaw (14,17,20,21,22,24,25) Booker T (18,19,20,22,23,28) Santino (26,27,28) It's kinda hard to find a good nominee from 29 unless we're putting Fandango or Jericho in this match And yes, this list is a lot shorter if this match was used for an Undertaker cameo to keep his streak alive (like if it were a super-quick comedy Rumble where Taker enters last to eliminate 2 guys and take the win). So if it's not a battle royal, how about a clusterfuck tag match: Rikishi/New Age Outlaws/Booker T/Santino v. Piper/Valentine/Viscera/Bradshaw/Fandango. Have as many quick spots as possible (Piper/Rikishi, Piper tags out to Viscera, Viscera/Rikishi collision spots, Road Dogg does the punch spot to Greg Valentine and Valentine flops down face forward in response), and try to wrap it up in like 4 minutes as kind of a comedy match (Bradshaw or Fandango jobs to the Cobra, probably). I really wanted Piper on the face side, but I didn't think switching Booker to the heel team was as good of an udea Just an idea if they still do some sort of comedy matchup for these things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Going back a few pages, always thought this was an all time great heel promo and the music fakeout was fantastic. http://youtu.be/k6vASwhleU4 It fucked up the entire pay per view with people waiting for something that was not going to happen. It borders on false advertising. And the biggest problem is it puts all the heat on the company and not the wrestler. Because everybody know CM Punk, Edge or Shawn Michaels did not come up with that. They also did it during the Santino/Austin feud. When Austin actually did appear, nobody bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 I will put this here too (I also put it in the RAW thread) --In the weekly HHH interview with Michael Cole, he clarifies that the 12/15 Randy Orton vs. John Cena main event is a title unification match and the company's goal is to have only one champion. He said there is no more need to have two champions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
