November 2021 Wrestling Discussion

[NikoBaltimore]

Shit, my bad, was busy on a call and didn't read that properly.  But one thing I learned is that there's always somebody that either didn't see a movie or didn't want to see it.  Imagine my shock when a friend said he hasn't seen "Princess Bride"  Two weeks later we corrected that and he can't believe he went this long without it.

There is a relevant xkcd... Lemme try and find it https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/ten_thousand.png

Any truth to the rumour that the gimmick fell apart when someone in the back gave him a pack of tic-tacs?

No, Windham was The Stalker, not The Sidler.

Would've been different if he had gum. Unfortunately, Barry hates gum. The only gum he ever liked came with WWF Trading Cards. They stopped making those about 30 years ago...

Makes you understand why Corey backtracked him shitting on her on RAW.   Didn't want to get fucked up by his more bad ass and crazy doppleganger

 

 

In a related story, you know who my favorite currently active WWE women’s wrestler is? Dana Brooke. I think she’s an excellent professional wrestler. Underrated talent. I hope she does really well for herself and if she gets a chance to really show what she can do, I think she’ll impress a lot of people.

Are you trying to get Batista’s autograph now?

Giant man in camo where there is no vegetation. Why didn't he camouflage himself as like the ring canvas or something? 

I get the sense that Barry Windham was dressed as a random fan showing up to a wrestling show in the late 90s.. which is a little too ordinary for a guy as tall as Barry Windham.

I was scrolling quickly down the page and thought that said Sable while imagining Cornettes head blowing up like Scanners as he learns that Lesnar will wrestle Sable on TV.

And outside of here Silent Bob is my friend's spirit animal.  He's been dressing as him for Halloween for many years and would seamlessly fit right into what they do.

I have a friend who used to wear a black trenchcoat all the time, one time he dropped by my work with his friend while wearing said trenchcoat and a backwards baseball cap, his friend with long blonde hair was with him wearing a toque (beanie if you're not down with the Canadian lingo) and a co-worker looked at them and went "Oh that's hilarious, you guys dressed up as Jay and Silent Bob!" and they had not intended to do so and things got a little awkward.

WWE just signed a 10 million dollar trading card deal last week with some company named Panini. So maybe they can upgrade old pieces of gum to old panini sandwiches?

[Curt McGirt]

It's probably what's on the catering tables right now, along with the old gum. 

[odessasteps]

Nick Khan hasn't  86'ed catering yet? 

[Cobra Commander]

goddamn pal, we gotta have steak wraps at catering

Panini is still around?!

They used to sell hockey stickers/sticker books about...oh man...30+ years ago. Oh man...I'm so old...

[odessasteps]

They even do digital sticker albums now for things like the World Cup and the Euros. We've had dvdvr groups for the last 2 world cups to collect the stickers. 

[Curt McGirt]

They definitely are 86ing anyone who was IN catering

I noticed a few months ago during a random match on Smackdown that she'd actually turned into a good worker. "Excellent" might be pushing it, but she's definitely improved from the days when she was constantly doing that weird armpit rubbing thing.

I thought they had., IRRC, there was an item in the Observer a while back about WwE canceling their catering contract and talent going to have to get food from the concession areas in the arena. 

[Doragon]

The cathering thing was mostly debunked.

Ok.  Didn’t know that.  Thanks.

[AxB]

For a second, I read that as "Cathetering thing."

That was a different discussion all together from the 80's.

I've been binging OSW, so I immediately heard "It was acceptable in the '80s/ It was acceptable at the tiiiiime ..."

Left off of Survivor Series. Aliyah, who's had zero matches on tv, wasn't. Gotta wonder if it's bc her fiance went "Did you say 'fuck Jay and Silent Bob. Fuck them up their stupid asses?'" on some troll.
