Just Dave Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 The moment Zack Ryder banged on that wall and it became clear that he was failing to muster up that Serious Business Fire that he was going for, is the exact moment that video went from being good to sad. I'm pretty sure the last time I watched Zack Ryder wrestle was when he won that belt. I've seen plenty since then, but I agree that i'm just not sure he has 'serious heel guy' in him. And, in the end, there's just a whole bunch of guys in NXT who deserve a shot on the main show more than Ryder deserves a fourth run. I'd rather see Corey Graves, and I'm not even sure I like Corey Graves. Zack Ryder as a manager in tights might work. This disgruntled employees stable needs less Dolph Ziggler and more Mark Henry though. Ryder feels like a guy who should be in a tag team. Is there anyone in NXT who would make sense as his partner? Or maybe he can be paired with Darren Young. That sounds like the sort of tag team that could be losing two-on-one handicap matches to Alexander Rusev a couple of months from now. I think they should bring in Enzo and Big Cass as his cousins from Jersey. Might be fun. Or, as I've said before, him, Alex Riley and Mason Ryan as a group of Affliction shirt-wearing spray-tan idiots who wander backstage talking to chicks like Bobby Bottleservice and fist pumping. Call them the "woo-Woo Crew." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 If we're sharing random Bob Backlund memories, here are a couple of mine. --I met him at a Smackdown taping in 2000. It was when he was claiming to run for president. He didn't appear on the show but they let him set up a merch booth. He would posr for a picture if you bought one of his 8 x 10's. Which, of course, duh, I did. So I posed for my picture, then my friend did the same. My friend ended up getting put in the crossface chicken wing. Being jealous, I asked to be out in it. I didn't get a photo of it unfortunately, but the feeling I walked away with was how he could have torn my neck and shoulder to shreds with just a little pressure. He put it on just snug enough to let you know, and I had his forearm tightly across my chin. Pretty cool. And honestly, either the guy is the greatest actor of all time, or he's just not all there. Even "out of character", he just seems.......off. Maaaaaan, I fucked my little brother up with a Chicken Wing. We had to ban that shit from our Living Room Wrestling Federation. I lost by disqualification a lot. Got to keep your heat, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go2Sleep Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 One of my favorite Michael Cole moments... Ok, it's actually more of a Booker T moment, but I still don't know how Cole made it through his line without laughing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Miz to talk, Dolph to work, and Ryder to.... something? This might be the liquor talking, but I think John Morrison would make a great fourth for that stable. Ryder should just be a chickenshit manager type, while Miz & Morrison reunite as a tag team, with Dolph as the lead guy of the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I think you all have given more thought about Zack Ryder in the last day then the WWE has in the last two years combined. You have to admire Zack as mentioned before. He could easily just be like other guys on the roster and cost and not try to poke his head up and keep collection easy pay checks. But he's trying his darndest to get noticed again. I like Zack. I think he's a guy people want to root for. But the WWE has shown if you try to get yourself over with out their help you will pay for it. The WWE is a weird place. They constantly say they want guys who will reach for the brass ring on their own and when someone does he ends up like Zack Ryder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ka-to Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 IIRC Madusa had a really good shoot match against Aja back around 1990. 5/13/1990 Korakuen Hall. Madusa kicked her ass. Really. It was kickboxing with gloves, but they threw each other around too. I'm inspired to watch it as soon as the Knick game is over. One of my best finds ever from a used video store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobholly138 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 The only time I would consider Medusa a draw was when she was in that bikini contest with Missy Hyatt. A 12 year old me was very excited for that. Very excited indeed. I was there and the 1000 people in the audience ate that segment up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny because the reason I brought it up is because I saw Victoria/Tara's restaurant is having an after party. And the reason I knew that is because I was thinking of checking that place out this weekend since it's not far from my house. It's too bad, I've watched a couple of shows and the wrestling is solid. I don't want to go by myself if it's perv central, and even though my wife would probably dig the show, I don't want to have to start stabbing dudes in the face for excessive leering. Can't Prazak do back ground checks or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
