Bragging about a match that was a fucking disaster: I'm not going to click through to the actual article, but are we certain he said it as a brag and not an apology?

zendragon Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 it seems that he felt good that Shawn came to him for idea's but doesn't comment on the actual outcome of the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyld Samurai Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Does anyone know what is up with women wrestlers and their propensity to do a forward roll out of a corner? It makes zero sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 1 hour ago, paintedbynumbers said: Rude had decent matches with Warrior. Some could argue some of Warrior's best work. His work with Sting was great, his work with Steamboat was great, hell the Jake feud wasn't bad either. Mr. Perfect had excellent matches with Bret, Shawn, Warrior, and Hogan. Almost a WWF version to Flair where he could make whoever he was in the ring with look better. It might have been Austin on his Podcast that said he thought Ziggler took the art of selling way to far. Like he did way to much overselling that it sorta ruined his credibility. I thought that was an interesting take from Austin especially since Austin especially his early years as a heel really was heavy into selling for his . opponent. When Ziggler started under that gimmick it felt like he wanted to impress the agents and other people watch in charge with the Rude and Perfect like selling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 And then a few years later Curt Hennig's actual son shows up in WWE and has nowhere to go, because his default ring style is taken (although I'm not sure he was actually physically up to working like that anyway). I still say he should have just gained 100 lbs and started wrestling like his Grandfather. It's always interesting how much or how little Second Generation Wrestlers work like their parent(s). I think that whole Legacy era of WWE, a lot of those guys struggled to find themselves. Orton yes, Cody yes, Roman yes, and the Rotunda boys are one for two, but there's a lot of bland forgettableness as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @AxBsaid, SO MANY forgettable second generation guys. Shit, Ted DiBiase apparently had THREE sons in wrestling and I'm just as shocked as you are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 It really shouldn’t be my take away from the story, however, I genuinely believed Michael Elgin was his shoot name. When I used to see him on TV I would always think “man if my name was Michael Elgin I would have made up a better working name”. What an absolute creep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 WWE stuff: Raw retro night is another possible special for Raw this year. Goldberg may be coming back soon, keep in mind he has 1 match left this year, then two more next year and two more in 2023. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJ Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Age is just a number...but when that number is 55, being the recognized World Champion of a fighting league, even where the fights are scripted, is comical. And it wasn't exactly great when they put the title on him 5 years ago either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Outside of him losing to Roman, I can't think of many Goldberg matches I'd be down for. Is he that much of a draw anymore?

RIPPA Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 The Goldberg/Lashley had been the rumored plan for Lashley if Brock didn't return so it isn't that surprising.
