DANIEL BRYAN DUMPSTER FIRE THREAD

One sad side effect of Sami Zayn unmasking is the unfortunate lessening in cape quantity in wrestling. RIP never 4get -
FEBRUARY 2016 WRESTLING PHOTO THREAD

That one never gets old -
Not only that, some of those big hits over the middle are just two really fast people running towards each other. We like to say that the DB was head hunting, when in reality he'd have to be super human to be able to aim his hit accurately at that speed. If they start tossing people for what Aqib Talib did in the Super Bowl, I understand, but if they start tossing people for things outside of their control I don't understand. Exactly. That and the personal foul calls that wouldn't have been personal fouls had the receiver or runner not lowered his own helmet. In the end, the refs just can't be relied on to make correct calls, so why have a rule where a guy can get tossed from a game because of it?

When personal foul = D lineman swats at a pass, misses and glances Tom Brady's helmet, then Brady cries enough that the ref throws a flag just to stop the temper tantrum, this is a bad rule.

Did anyone explain the Blake, Murphy & Alexa's Freddy Kruger cosplay? Was it a belated Wes Craven tribute?

2016 ROH DISCUSSION THREAD
Technico Support replied to RIPPA's topic in FEDS JUST TRYING TO MAKE A BUCK
You're correct, that was poorly worded. Who she's sleeping with absolutely matters, though. Did Delirious fire him because of his own relationship with Leon? Would the punishment been as severe had the victim been another female worker? Delirious' alleged relationship muddies the waters and this is why you don't carry on a relationship with subordinates. Christ, I learned that shit on day 1 sexual harassment training (I'm a manager at my company). Even if nothing improper is going on, it looks bad for so many reasons. Not the least of which is the appearance, right or wrong, that the subordinate has to carry on the affair because their job is on the line. That's the business-side argument. Morally speaking, all job stuff aside, Delirious has no right to take the high ground with regard to respecting women when he's disrespecting the one who he's in a existing relationship with. Again, that's if, and a very big IF, this is even true. -

If my boss fired me for getting fresh with his sidepiece, I'd elect to go with the nuclear option, too. You have no moral high ground when you're fucking around on somebody. Obvious disclaimer: this ref could be full of shit. But if not, nobody in this situation looks good. -

I'll never forget that Rusty Brooks was the designated jobber when Hogan made a rare syndicated TV appearance, setting up his first program with Savage. Elizabeth was pretty good on the mic, too. "The Macho Man has asked me to ask you, mister Hulk Hogan, why you don't wrestle anybody with any credentials." I just watched it and damn, I did forget that it was so long ago that it was before the red and yellow and Hogan was still using Jim Steinman's instrumental theme. -

Mania 26, Vince vs Bret. About 10:50 in, Kidd and DBS Jr hit a super Hart Attack and Vince's head bounces off the outside mat pretty bad. -

Dynamite, Benoit, Danielson...all smaller guys who did crazy shit to compensate for their lack of size. Hopefully wrestling is slowly becoming less of a big man's game (Vince's eventual departure would hasten this) and smaller guys will become more of the norm and not feel the need to kill themselves to stand out. -

I know that's Blackjack Mulligan in the red, but who's botching the leapfrog? I'm assuming the other 2 are just random jobbers. Blackjack Mulligan & Dan Spivey defeated Salvatore Bellomo & Tiger Chung Lee at 3:55 when Mulligan pinned Lee with a flying back elbow (3/10/87; Dayton, OH; Hara Arena) So in case you are keeping track: Spivey was brought in to replace Mulligan's son in a team with Mulligan's son-in-law but then ended up teaming with Mulligan himself after Mulligan's son-in-law left the company, too. -
Well since Vince's first choice was a headbutt, they should be applauded for showing at least some restraint.

Technico Support replied to RIPPA's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
That's a great idea because one thing that makes wrestling so monotonous is that it never ends. If there were short, alternating seasons like that, I'd be much more invested, knowing that they're building to something, as opposed to the endless cycle of just getting to the next week that we have now. Oh look, Owens vs Ziggler again. -

He has that agreement but he's already forgotten about it. Now I'm imagining Dreamer tatted up with "close the refrigerator door," "October 12, 2002" and "don't trust Raven" inked on him a la Memento. -

Bringing back a nostalgia act for a short, light schedule of multiman, safe matches akin to AJPW openers is a little different from letting Bryan back on the roster. Should the rule be black and white? Yeah, probably. Though their logic is flawed, I can see the difference. -
Holy shit I just read the first two pages of that thread. Thank you, mods.

Nah man, shopping at Whole Foods is going to clean them out, believe it -
Thanks for the reply! That sucks. I definitely would have rather seen him in this past BOLA instead of maybe Andrew Everett or Trent, and definitely the previous year over AJ Styles (really, anyone over Styles given the way that ended up). That's one rough side effect of PWG becoming more of an "indy all stars" promotion. Guys who are seen more as "local SoCal talent" are getting pushed out. No more RockNES Monsters on every undercard.

Miz has been on the main roster since 2006. How about Big Show or Mark Henry? Though both have missed considerable time. -
Does anyone know if there was a falling out between PWG and Willie Mack? He left when it looked like he was going to the Performance Center, but that fell through and he hasn't been back since. I'm listening to him being interviewed on MVP's podcast and he went over his career and never mentioned PWG.

The Playa Haters Ball deleted scenes are amazing, too. Everything was ad-libbed and it's so fun to watch Patrice, etc break up at Chappelle's improvised insults. "I'd say something about your bitches but it looks like you ate them." Time Haters doesn't get enough love, while we're at it.
