sydneybrown 2,156 Posted November 29, 2013 "Look how stupid this tv show I've watched every week for years is! What kind of idiot would watch this?"Speak for yourself. As someone who hasn't watched for years I can fully experience the joy of laughing at pictures Raw's idiocy without any feelings of guilt or hypocrisy. Your username... intrigues me. Surely you're not serious? Ugh. Amateurs. The correct answer is always: I am serious. And don't call me Surely. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sydneybrown 2,156 Posted November 29, 2013 This is one of those nitpicky deals that irritates only me, but every time WWE trots out The Gobbledy Gooker for one reason or another, I'm bugged because when he debuted, he was supposed to be The Gobblygooker. I suppose it's Mean Gene's fault for saying Gobbledy Gooker in the first place at Survivor Series, but still. You're going to take the word of the same people who type out "Brett Hart," "Rick Flair," and Ravishing "Rick" Rude? The odds of your spelling being right and it being a fuck-up are a legit coin flip. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoffman 268 Posted November 29, 2013 You're going to take the word of the same people who type out "Brett Hart," "Rick Flair," and Ravishing "Rick" Rude? The odds of your spelling being right and it being a fuck-up are a legit coin flip. Very true. Still, I just checked the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office website on a lark, and someone at the WWF did apply for a service mark for "Gobblygooker" shortly after Survivor Series 1990 (and it was subsequently abandoned in 1992).Just by typing in random old wrestling names on the USPTO site, it looks like WWE let their trademark on Starrcade lapse as well. I have no clue about the inner details of abandoned trademarks, but I'm now disappointed we haven't seen "TNA Starrcade" or "ROH World champion Gobblygooker."

If it comes down to an unknown production assistant and Okerlund, I'd trust Mene Gene's word any day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

#prowrestlingisart 2 Posted November 30, 2013 pro wrestling being art Seriously? I didn't think this was a question anymore in 2013. That Cabana guy's podcast isn't The Sport of Wrestling Podcast and his CHIKARA spinoff wasn't Wrestling Is Business. Weird. No it's not. Most people I talk to, fans, wrestlers, promoters, and even people who don't watch seem to understand pro wrestling is an art form. A violent art, but still an art.

#prowrestlingisart 2 Posted November 30, 2013 It's a soap opera at it's best, a high school play at it's worst. Well if all you watch is Raw, sure I guess, but even then that doesn't say it's not art. Might be bad art, but it's art. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roman 2,741 Posted November 30, 2013 Them's some big lads, OWW lists Paul Bunyan at 8'2"! Here is a pic of Humphrey vs Calhoun. Check it out, they can barely reach each other.Must've been a hell of a match. It was shit. They were both sick and tired of doing the same old 'big, giant, fat behemoth' match and ended up doing a lucha exhibition. They really shouldn't do that, no matter how perfect that 'running sommersault plancha countered into Powerbomb countered into snap Hurricanrana' was. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
