In a world where the Canadian destroyer is laughed at, it's totally cool for Kurt Angle to essentially suplex himself. I mean holy fuck, look at it. Benoit waistlocks him and then he does a standing moonsault.

Maybe they would have just switched places and Leon would have gone to WWE. Hogan loved him some monster heels.

I love the board filterr changing O-M-G to One Man Gang. I'm working my way through all the manias and I just finished #6. Holy shit is Hogan-Warrior overrated. I remember seeing this live on PPV. Back then, everybody thought it would be an absolute pile of shit. Because we went into it thinking that and it turned out to be "not awful," the match got a reputation for being actually good. It definitely wasn't. There are SO MANY RESTHOLDS as Warrior is clearly blown up, several times, like he just ran a marathon instead of just working at a moderate pace with a guy in his mid 30s. At first I was like, "well, it's probably his longest match ever." Then I remembered he had an IC program with Rude and no way did those matches only go 5 minutes. Holy fuck, the dude was so gassed. Then there are occasioans when the guys are on totally different pages. There's a point where Warrior is doing his "run the ropes and hit multiple clotheslines" thing and Hogan is working like he's never seen this spot in his life, just out of position all over the place, forcing Warrior to hold up on his running, hit the ropes to his right or left instead of across from him in an attempt to reposition, etc. It just looked so awkward and terrible. Finally, we had Hogan at his Hoganest, getting not one but TWO visual pins. AND THEN the fucker had the balls to actually count the pins himself so there'd be no shadow of a doubt that he could beat this guy. God forbid he do one clean job in five years. Then he hogged the camera and mugged it up a bit after the loss. God dammit. So yeah, definitely not a good match despite our lowered expectations.

So all we need are two products and we've got a reunion on our hands for Mania

I read the Browns might want him as well. Time to update the jersey:

He flakes out and then flames out the same way in Japan that he did here in the states. Maybe we get Hogan vs Earthquake for Mania 6?

Word is the Savage/Rude feud started when Randy insulted Rick's small legs.

Pretty sure Cool Arrow's joke was based in the idea that nobody in their right mind would blame Joe.

There's no hypocrisy. Joe has been wrestling forever and doesn't have near the reputation for being sloppy like Ryback does. And by all accounts, nobody blames him for what happened to Tyson Kidd.

Look at all those Caucasians! Must have gotten a group tourist discount.

On this board, i presume 2 or 3 people have blaxploitation knowledge on their resume. Seriously, isn't that common knowledge? His wrestling persona is that of a pimp, so I always thought the reference was obvious. I did get a kick out of how one of his finishers was called the "DND" (dat nigga dead).

I hope they gave him an autoclave as well

I haven't watched yet but for a brief, shining moment I saw this pic and thought Drake and Bull were wrestling and I got excited for the match

?

I'm amazed because Charlotte looks somewhat pretty in that photo. WWE makeup does her no favors. On TV, she looks like something out of GILF porn.

It might have been "we love kayfabe!" but I'm not 100%. Continuing ASW 11...Unbreakable Fucking Machines vs American Wolves was not great. I've seen better from both teams so maybe it was a matter of them not clicking, or perhaps it was from Elgin & Cage not teaming in a while. Not sure, but the teams had zero chemistry and the match was blah. The impromptu Sami Callihan vs Drew Gulak match was great. Callihan is at his best as a small, manic ass kicker so this match suited him perfectly. No idea why he was never allowed to do anything close to this in NXT, but hey, their loss.

Depends on who she is or isn't messin' with.

Hoboken squat cobbler, full moon moon pie, Boston creme splat, or Simple Simon the ass man Also, don't sleep on Nacho's amazing line, "that thing looks like a school bus for six-year-old pimps."

It was all downhill for Sami after Vince asked someone to explain ska to him. GOD DAMMIT SO IT'S LIKE REGGAE PLUS POLKA? I DON'T GET IT

When the decisions on how your narrative goes are based purely on whether you'll still be able to sell merch to children, well congrats, you are making children's programming and no reasonable adult should be watching. When my decisions are based on maximizing profit and value to the shareholders, and children-aimed programming is what will do that, then yes, I will make children-based programming. Besides, Saturday Morning Slam was fucking awesome. I'm not saying they're wrong, just realizing what it is they're producing. But I'm not sure they're maximizing profit for the shareholders when ratings are going down the shitter and their core audience is 35 - 45. As someone else just posted, they're serving too many masters and going after too many different audiences and not doing a good job of any of it.

Scat and genocide?

That's one reason I stopped watching this. I made the same argument, "there's a huge new conspiracy and they're out there assing off on a monster of the week without a care in the world." Someone came back with, "well the original show did that, too." Yes, but the original show was 20-some eps per season and needed the filler. This is six episodes and it's insulting to do masturbatory bullshit like the two comedy episodes.

Exactly. I was listening to Meltzer and he said they'd get Reigns over at Mania by having Rock get involved, a bunch of other crap, maybe Shawn Michaels (I think that last one was a joke). What the actual fuck, dudes? If your "top babyface" needs a parade of other guys to give him the rub every step of the way, maybe take a hint that he's not your top babyface and is never going to be. Jesus Christ this fucking company. Roman and Vince are the desperate guy and the fans are the girl that's just not into him. No matter how hard they try, she's not changing her mind. This shit is mind boggling. If Vince ran Coca Cola, we'd still have New Coke because GOD DAMMIT I'LL TELL THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT No way, man. I was there. People WANTED Luger to win the belt in 88 and were legit pissed at that screwjob at the Bash.
