MARCH 2015 WRESTLING DISCUSSION


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Their only saving grace during the guest host era was that Smackdown was incredibly good.

Too much Edge at the top of the card for me. Dude single-handedly killed SD for me in a couple periods.

The crowd losing their fucking minds for Bob Barker was amazing. I love it when a crowd is genuinely excited to go batshit crazy for something. Like not like a bunch of people chanting shit and reacting because they are bored, but 15,000 people being happy to be wrestling fans is awesome.

The Rock is hosting SNL tonight.  He's usually pretty funny, of course just like in the WWE shitty writing on there can hamper just about anyone.

 

Is this the first time he's hosting since the legendary Attitude era episode where Mankind and Big Show came on with him?

 

 

Cracked used to be great, and there video content still tends to be good, but there articles have been getting worse lately.Site feels like it's on a heavy downswing to me.

At least they still have Buckholtz.

 

Yeah when they started out with cats like Jay Pinkerton writing for them they were cool, but they are way too into the white guilt SJW shit any more. I could imagine submitting a listicle only to have Adam Todd Brown PM back like, "Hey, this is pretty good, but I'm gonna need you to add about seven or eight snide, self-congratulatory references to how racist/sexist/homophobic (insert topic) is."

"You get a big reaction from a crowd like that in Abu Dhabi and I wonder how do these people in Abu Dhabi know who I am? It is hard for me to understand I am on television and people around the world watch me every week in a country I have never even been too."

I'm sure Piranesi has more insight into Ambrose's state of mind.

"You get a big reaction from a crowd like that in Abu Dhabi and I wonder how do these people in Abu Dhabi know who I am? and then I remember that tuna cans float and that all my short stories and poems that I scratched onto tuna can lids with my fingernails probably made their way here over, like, the sea or something.  And I wonder if any of the merpeople tampered with them.  Like, do these Abu Dhabi guys know my real poems or only the ones that the merpeople have messed with.  I really need be careful, you know.  They might think I only write tuna can lid poems about, like, making out with merpeople.  And really I only wrote a few like that.  Most of my poetry is not about sex with sea monsters.  A lot of it is just asking for stuff, mostly more tuna."

 

PIRANESI, GO!

- WWE Intercontinental Champion Bad News Barrett told Sky Sports this week that he stopped delivering his "I'm afraid I've got some bad news..." promos because WWE officials told him to as fans were joining in on the promos and cheering him. Barrett teased picking back up on the bad news after WrestleMania.

 

Fuckin assholes.

When did that technically start? I know that they cheered Demolition at WM IV. Or Randy Savage in his IC Title victory over Santana. Stupid internet marks.

There was also Jake The Snake being cheered after DDT'ing Hogan on The Snake Pit.

You had the Front Row, Sction D guys in the Carolinas and the Center Stage crowd cheering Flair and the Horsemen and the MX.

And before that, the popularity of Billy Graham and the rejection of Bob Backlund as WWWF champ in the North east

in the attitude era, everyone had a catchphrase. the crowd went wild chanting along with it.

 

"Hey Road Dogg, we're gonna need you to stop doing that thing in your intro, that's not the reaction we want..."

 

"Hey Rock, we're scrapping your promo time, you're getting the wrong kind of heat..."

 

"Hey Austin, we want you to cut down the 3:16 stuff, the fans are catching on..."

 

You'd think they'd learn after 20 years that fans will chant along with any catchphrase. If they don't want that reaction don't give heels catchphrases, pretty simple.
