Technico Support Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Apparently Bubba made no bones about the fact that he had cameras all over his house, as well. I have no idea what the real truth is but, on face value, it seems like Bubba and Hogan were into some funky shit. Per Bubba. Who has every reason to lie. And of course Hogan was into some funky shit. I don't think you sleep with your best friend's hot wife (with your best friend's knowledge!) without being into, well, some funky shit. But, as this lawsuit shows, Hogan clearly wasn't cool with the whole "Let's video it and use it as blackmail and put it on the internet for the world to see" element. And, yes, in that respect, he has every right to be pissed off here. It violates his privacy. Yep, you're right. I just can't summon the concern to care much about it since there was definitely something weird going on, Hogan is kind of a shit, and the truth is always somewhere in the middle. I mean this is the guy who told his son that his friend with the caved in head probably did something to deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Even The Hulkster deserves basic privacy guys. No matter how shitty you thought No Holds Barred and his TNA run was. Dookie?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 "Hogan and Vince locked themselves in a hotel, did a shit ton of coke and rewrote the script" might be my favorite most-likely-true wrestling urban legend. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Bless me wrestling fans for I have sinned. I don't give a shit about Mania....not even one tiny little one. I HATE NOT GIVING A SHIT ABOUT MANIA! You're not alone. I don't give a shit either. I'll still watch since I pay the $10 a month, but there's nothing to really be excited about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Does Shane McMahon read this board? If he did, he'd know he has shitty punches. Plus he's never done a missile dropkick. Do the various Van Terminators not count? No, I'm talking proper missile dropkicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I know I'm in the minority here, but I've watched 2 episodes of Lucha Underground now, and I don't get how it's the ZOMG alternative to WWE. There's a lot of uninspiring wrestlers (Son of Havoc, Pimpinella (who is fun but an actively terrible bumper, at one he literally walked to the ropes and stepped through and kinda slowly fell off the apron), Chavo Jr.), poor camerawork (The one match in episode 3 they completely missed the finish of because they were focusing on Mascarita chasing a woman around the ring), some terrible indy 'stand still and wait for me to get my shit in' moments, and the dirt-worst commentary. Seriously, I don't get how people watch or re-watch this show with Matt Striker 1) Making insider comments ("They'll be talking about this in the dirt sheets!" or "Chavo went into business for himself!"); 2) Making bizarre derogatory comments about the Miz ("Pro wrestling has a history of effeminate wrestlers: Gorgeous George, Adrian Street, The Miz") or 3) just being actively terrible ("Sexy Star is a role model to girls everywhere who are being told they can't play with the boys" then 30 seconds later complaining about Chavo doing a move on her; making short jokes about Mascarita Sagrada; etc. etc.). Like, I get the complaints about Michael Cole: he's clearly Vince's mouthpiece for ideas/terms he wants to get out there, he talks over moments when no commentary would be better, and he seems incapable of human emotion when it's needed the most. But next to Striker, Cole is 1990s Jim Ross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Season 1 is a long one and it definitely gets better after those early episodes (which were hastily rewritten on the fly due to visa issues). Striker gets a little less insufferable, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Triple H is 3 years older than Hogan was in 1996? And he's still portrayed as an ass kicking dominant bad ass? That's fucking ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Comedian Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Seeing on Twitter - that the "rumblings" are that Philly is the early contender for Mania in 2018 (ie Mania 34) I missed XV because I was grounded. I'm a man now, damn it! I was there. You didn't miss much. Basically Rock-Austin I plus a bunch of crap, unless you really like you some Butterbean.

nate Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I knew better than to click that video. So, using that video as a precedence, am I to assume that, say, while it may be true of "The Rock," Dwayne Johnson in fact may NOT appreciate "poontang pie" (at least not equal to the level of "The Rock")? But Terry Bollea still enjoyed steroids and coke, right? Fuck man, if I was a juror on that shit, I'd have so many questions right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the Hogan they put the belt on in '02, when he was three years older than HHH is now? Yeah, I can't believe they'd do something like this. ETA: Also, he still pretty much looks like a bad-ass, so it's not that big of a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy! Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Say what you will, but Triple H sold that DDT like he was shot to death last night. Of course, it's probably an easier sell when you know in the end that you're fucking going over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
