As someone who worked a backyard Austrian gimmick because he could affect a Schwarzeneggerian accent, I can assure you the best available entrance music is Falco's "Vienna Calling (Toll Free Mix)". Only one that gets the chorus fast enough. Falco rules btw. Edited January 20, 2022 by John E. Dynamite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I didn't post about it, but NXT 2.0 is getting new redesigned belts, for WM season. Now they could end up being scrapped like the other unused belts that never made WWE tv. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Watching Sting do all of this stuff on a semi-regular basis makes me even more annoyed at how WWE used him. Sting and Undertaker could have easily had a good match. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sting and Undertaker could have easily had a good match. Sting joins WWE at Survivor Series 2014 and we all wanted Sting vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXXI, the man who never left WCW vs the man who never left WWE. Instead it's Triple H vs. Sting at said WrestleMania, Triple H wins and the nWo help Sting! Fuck that shit! With the popularity of the Boneyard match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles at WrestleMania XXXVI, I thought a cinematic match might be the avenue but nope. Sting for years didn't join WWE thinking they'd mess him up and he was right. Edited January 20, 2022 by The Natural 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sting and Undertaker could have easily had a good match. They could’ve put on a spectacle worthy of Mania, surely. Also, I’m 100% sure that’s why HBK wasn’t purged with the rest of HHH’s crew at the PC. Podcast Prichard and Nicky Budgets don’t want to explain to Vince how HBK ended up having a Heartbreak Hotel brawl through an abandoned “no tell motel” with the Stinger.

Mister TV Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 15 hours ago, Cobra Commander said: The original Sgt. Slaughter heel gimmick in 1990 wasn't exactly gonna propel him to main events, but I kinda love Slaughter doing a Hiroo Onoda "guy refusing to accept that the Cold War is wrapping up" type of gimmick until world events swung that gimmick a bit into left field. I don't think they would have done Hulk Hogan/Sgt. Slaughter matches where Slaughter is calling Hogan a commie pinko but it's a bit of a time capsule for the several months where this gimmick was possible Also, using the phrase "Drill Sargent Slaughter".. was it a weird WWFism or was there some sort of trademark thing that they didn't clear up? because that's a bit too wordy and they dropped it quick. Like we don't need to know what specific type of Sgt he is, guys.. A reminder that the Slaughter vignettes started airing a few weeks before Iraq invaded Kuwait and about 2 months before the US started sending troops over. So the whole story that Sarge was brought in to specifically exploit the war and headline Wrestlemania is bs, if the war never happened he most likely goes from Volkoff to Duggan to a house show run with Hogan. Also, the reason Sarge came back to the WWF was due to his GI JOE contract ending and Vince wanting to once again steal a headliner from Verne Gagne.

Infinit Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Random story I thought I'd share. So I was in Twitter...and I saw someone with the name Nilton. Which reminded me of the Observer writer Nilton Fernandes, who passed away. I did a quick search, and found that Nilton died in 2002. Crazy how time flies.
