You will know the in-ring and backstage stuff, but the book has upper-mgmt memos and TNT marketing directives and other interesting stuff that was new to me, at least. Yeah actually I shouldn't have said it was largely info I knew in my previous post. Tons of it will look familiar if you've been online for a while, but the perspectives and quotes from Turner and production people make it much, much more interesting than that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar was one of the most unique matches ever blending pro-wrestling with MMA and John Cena taking a real beating. My 2012 MOTY and Card of the Year. Gave it *****. Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan was also great, Two out of Three Falls. One of my favourite match stipulations. CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho's Chicago Street Fight was better than their WrestleMania XXVIII match earlier that month too. Brock's face here, and in general really, fills me with a strong urge to quote the 'Imagine if this guy came up to you' line from I Think You Should Leave. He looks like Cena's just fished him out of the sea after angering an elder god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 From today’s Uni Watch Quote During Wednesday night’s Late Late Show with James Corden, Corden (a West Ham fan) made an audience member in a Manchester United jersey cover it up with a show T-shirt. Knowing what we know about late night TV, I’m 95% certain that this was cooked up in the writer’s room and that audience member is a plant Sounds familiar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only did I stick around but my mind was blown by everything WCW. I know what I'm supposed to say is the luchadores are what drew me in, but let's be real. WCW was like waking up from a coma after a decade. Hulk Hogan was now a villain. Sting thought he was the crow. Bret Hart was in the middle of it. Razor/Diesel were now going by their real names and in the cool kids club. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew nothing about the guy but having those signs in Texas was something we applauded. Too bad he's a shithead. On 4/27/2022 at 9:40 PM, BobbyWhioux said: I'm behind on their podcast, but this isn't entirely surprising in light of how much they discussed expanding their repertoire and exploring other interests from the beginning. I am, of course, gutted they're hanging it up, but pleased they're going out at close to the top of their game instead of barely hanging on out of necessity. [And this is wrestling after all, virtually no one stays retired Forever-forever. Fingers can remain crossed for one last one-off someday] I had no idea about their BrandArmy page (didn't even know what that site was until now) but I still feel they're destined to be in a hit sitcom. They're just so damn funny and it wouldn't surprise me if they have something lined up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztor Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 15 hours ago, username said: I think in retrospect it could be argued that trying to run Austin as a heel every third week or so after his Mania battle with Bret was less than ideal? The fact that he ignited once they gave up on that despite having a broken-ish neck at that time makes me lean in that direction personally. while it goes against conventional logic, having Austin be a heel every so often may have actually helped his anti-hero vibe. Especially since he didn't really change his character too much once it started to hit. Once he had a full on villain & authority figure to go against, obviously all bets are off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certain moments that feel kind of etched in my head as key ones for an internet fan. In 98-03 or so a lot of the times, it was connected to Benoit. One was that weekend where Benoit won the TV title on a house show and lost it back and they didn't acknowledge it on TV. Another was when someone (I think Michael Hayes) was pushing hard that post face-turn (02/03 probably) Benoit would end a Smackdown by attacking another face just to prove that he was an entity unto himself and still dangerous and unpredictable, like Austin, and it was vetoed as Vince freaked out and refilmed it.

Just Dave Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 That sucks for Dakota Kai, though I suspect she'd hit a wall in terms of how WWE saw her. Athena, Tegan and Dakota would all help AEW very much. ROH is gonna need a women's division, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
