My favorite era of PPV themes, watching that clip the whole card comes off epic... bring back the moving match graphics permanently too. From what I recall: -Reached out to AEW for a job, said on his pod he had been "begging" Tony for a job. -After seemingly not hearing back, started to rip on Dynamite online. -Went back to saying he still wants a job with AEW, believed he could help with their TV and promos -Went to Impact and sat in with the creative team for the last tapings -Back in WWE Agreed! Something tells me Road Dogg's flirt game is "Yo gurl. Hey. Hey. You look beautiful. Why ain't you talking to me, are you some stuck up bitch? Yo girl, hit me up." 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Road Dogg is now the Vice President of Live Events, not the exact job Jeff Jarettt had. Jeff was the Senior Vice President of Live Events. WWE to bring back one of the former writers of NXT, one Ryan Katz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get more and more concerned about the Triple H era, creatively. Like this dude either only knows one song, or he’s loyal to a degree of broadbased cronyism that even Vince has to be thinking “damn son, don’t you have any other friends?” Neither is good, and that one song started to really suck when Cole, Gargano and Ciampa sung it for an hour a week. bring back Gabe Sapolski.

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Road Dogg never left. He's been doing Double J's work the whole time, and Jarrett was taking the credit for it. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) I hope Road Dogg is ready for this, as I hear he's going to spend a lot of his days working hard on the go with the hands on the clock ticking too slow.

Log Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I think there are a few Mountain Goats fans here. Here's a great interview with John Darnielle (I don't think he does bad interviews) where he touches on pro wrestling a couple times: https://www.stereogum.com/2195715/john-darnielle-mountain-goats-bleed-out/interviews/weve-got-a-file-on-you/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Why were Attitude Era fans obsessed with making signs with his name? I guess video game signs are eternal in wrestling. Someone is going to dig up some Memphis footage with someone holding up a "Pong Rocks" sign during a Dream Machine match 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefanie Without Stefanie Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 There was also a wrestling website writer in the late-1990s that wrote as Sushi X. The EGM writer came first and the wrestling site writer took the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that signs annoyed me. Then the hipsters started chants. Now I miss the signs. At least signs require some preplanning and effort, and a lot of bad ones are funny to me (unless you are stuck behind one, but a pleasant request and/or surly snarl will take care of that). Chants are the crowd trying to be part of the show and not at all spontaneous these days, and are a more aggressive way to show one's "smartness" that gets in my face more. What is worse is that so many young workers are influenced by these chants and cultivate them. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ka-to Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Signs and the towels are fine in Japan where the fans are seated and hold them up below their own eye level. I'll never go to an AEW show because of all of the goofs standing in front of me with signs. I actually came to this thread to ask if anyone else is loving The Great John Hawking My Man in IWA PR.

Krone Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I thought the reason signs went away was because cell phones became popular and people can't hold a sign and a cell phone at the same time (I mean you could, but it may be a little difficult). Probably also coupled with the fact that wrestling isn't "pop culture cool" anymore so people don't think their buddy and their buddies buddy are all watching to see the sign. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
