It always blew me away that WWE had Kris Kristofferson's son Jody in developmental for a while. Supposedly Kris would even drop by the PC from time to time! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 guessing we never came close to finding out if any Kristofferson songs could have made for good wrestling theme songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how soon it'll air, but it was always showing up on their classic replays. Striker never bothered me in LU, maybe because he was just OTT enough for the product. Meanwhile he is completely intolerable in current Impact. The Sabu/Park feud was wild to me at the time. I was still in high school and MLW became must watch for me when I saw Sabu use a pair of scissors as a weapon. Not sure how it'll hold up but damn was it fun at the time.

The Natural Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) It's really something seeing wrestlers return from career ending injuries: Bryan Danielson was already the GOAT when he retired but he's added to that title ever since coming back in March 2018, Edge in January 2020, Christian in January 2021, Sting in March 2021 and Katsuyori Shibata in October of last year.

Obviously, not the point you were making, but DO they actually have a Chris at the moment? At least Jericho, Masters, Tian and that one guy are elsewhere right now. Am I missing someone else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Quote The former Kalisto in WWE took to Instagram Wednesday to detail his past battle with COVID-19, saying the virus "nearly ended him." In the post seen below, he said he was hospitalized for the entire month of August and nearly had two heart attacks in addition to the virus and a stomach ulcer, adding that he "only had a day to prepare for my return on tv." That was a reference to a SmackDown match he had with Cesaro -- his first such action since December 2019. "Beyond my belief I thought I never get this bad, but i took that as a sign, really trained hard and rolled the dice and Lucha. 2022 is all I focus on…LUCHA always like there’s no tomorrow, he wrote. https://www.instagram.com/samuraydelsol/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=a89066bf-639d-4591-8765-2cb290e3e265 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
