paintedbynumbers Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 He is in Pittsburgh at the David L Lawrence for the World of Wheels Convention. I expected to pay $50 like when Sting was here last year but it was all free and he couldn't have been nicer. He spent time talking with everyone for as long as they wanted. Not a huge line to meet him either. Only thing was they asked not to bring personal items as they gave out free 8x10's and took 2 pics with your camera phone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa: It was ten days to the wedding. Vince still lived, but Stephanie's nightmares were growing steadily worse. Dominik: See, didn't I tell you she'd never marry that rotten The Undertaker? Grandpa: Yes, you're very smart. Shut up. The Billion Dollar Princess Bride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 8 hours ago, paintedbynumbers said: Just had the absolute pleasure of meeting Bryan Danielson. I asked him about NJPW and he told me he was supposed to already be there but due to Covid and a 2 week quarantine he just can't do it right now. Hoping things are better by the G1 as he really wants to be in this year. Couldn't have been a nicer guy. One of the rare ones who didn't charge for autographs or pics. 8 hours ago, paintedbynumbers said: He is in Pittsburgh at the David L Lawrence for the World of Wheels Convention.

Great to hear Bryan's as likeable as he comes across. It's impressive he plays such a great heel. Dickhead Danielson is my favourite incarnation.

It's impressive he plays such a great heel. Dickhead Danielson is my favourite incarnation. He took time to talk with everyone for as long as they wanted. He has some sort of injury right now keeping him from wrestling. He told the guy ahead of me something along the lines of "and if it gets in my blood well..." He also mentioned he would be looking to get cleared to have a match either for Dynamite or Rampage but they can't announce anything in case he doesn't get the green light. He did say obiviously he will be in Cleveland this week even if it's just for a promo. Super, Super, nice guy and I look forward to seeing what he does this week. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Following on from Barry Von Erich, it feels like there’s not enough “fake” wrestling siblings these days. Come on modern day wrestlers/promoters, gimme a Canadian Dragon Steve Danielson, Drey Wyatt or a Jimmy “freakin’” Rollins. It felt like every indy had at least one back in the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Have you not heard of Donnie Janela? (GCW ran a show in Tullahoma TN, booked a bunch of local Tennessee wrestlers to fill out the card, and they noticed that one of them looked just like Joey Janela. So Joey "researched his family tree" and found out they were actually cousins! So Donnie took the Janela name because of course he did. He also goes by Kung Fu Janela, or Donnie Primetime in his AEW Dark bookings) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I remember a PWG show years ago where Ryan Taylor teamed with Chuck Taylor (no relation) and Brian Cage. Excalibur ad-libbed announcing Cage as "Brian Cage-Taylor" and the trio of "The Fightin' Taylor Boys" ended up teaming for a few shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Six years ago, AJ Styles debuted in the 2016 Royal Rumble match: Live version. We fucked up version. Behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletti Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I actually preferred the live shot, because that pop was BONKERS and not knowing who it was for added to the excitement. Also, later that match when AJ is eliminated, Brodie's audible, "Bye AJ." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 If there was one thing I'd dial back for the Royal Rumble (and maybe for other PPVs/PLEs), the announcers don't need to 'know' everything in such an unnatural way I know some of the people putting together WWE TV don't watch live sports, but there are ways to balance sharing information without making your announcers seem like they know way more than they should. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few years before I stopped watching, Michael Cole's shitty "OH MY GOD, ITS _____" ruined the Rumble for me, which sucks because it's always been my favorite PPV since I was a kid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
