  1. I had to look him up. No idea he was her father. Super talented guy. On a side note, he was part of a weird new age music/spoken word project called Celestial Navigations. I once worked at a new age radio station and we played their stuff and people loved it.
  2. Wow. When the question "where does ROH go now after jobbing out half their roster?" was asked, that was not the answer I was looking for.
  3. That is awesome, man. Congrats. Owning is so much better than renting (well, except for repairs and such) and wait 'til you do your taxes next year! Also, congrats to you, OSJ! Welcome to the club (non smoker for 18 years in April).
  4. When you were pouring the Bisquik, were you TRYING to make pancakes? Rick is underestimating The Saviors and this is not going to end well.
  5. Yeah, apparently when he signed Flair, Vince told him something to the effect of, "if I eventually end up using you at a level below the world title and you don't want that, you can leave." I don't know if that's true because it's unusually magnanimous but that's always been the story.
  6. When they work over here, NJPW actually stands for No Jobs Pro Wrestling I thought the same thing but then I realized it doesn't matter. ROH is a promotion aimed squarely at smart marks who apparently don't care. ROH is just NJPW's minor league. The fans wanted to see a New Japan showcase at the expense of the ROH roster and that's what they got. I'm still amazed that the ROH roster went 0-5, though. There's got to be some middle ground between "their guys shouldn't beat our guys (TM Kevin Dunn) and outright whoring your promotion.
  7. 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.
  8. Maybe they would have just switched places and Leon would have gone to WWE. Hogan loved him some monster heels.
  9. 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.
  10. So all we need are two products and we've got a reunion on our hands for Mania
  11. I read the Browns might want him as well. Time to update the jersey:
  12. 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?
  13. Word is the Savage/Rude feud started when Randy insulted Rick's small legs.
  14. Pretty sure Cool Arrow's joke was based in the idea that nobody in their right mind would blame Joe.
  15. 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.
  16. Look at all those Caucasians! Must have gotten a group tourist discount.
  17. 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).
  18. I hope they gave him an autoclave as well
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Depends on who she is or isn't messin' with.
  23. 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."
  24. 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
