He was one of the nicest guys I have met in this crazy business and I will miss him terribly. #RIPBULLY The one thing I will remember him for is how the Apter mags treated him as the next sure thing because he came off as one of the strongest motherfuckers in the business and I was ready for him to do some damage when he got to the WWF. And then, yeah. He gets a Spike and Chester gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedbynumbers Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 He was fun in GWF and yeah his WWF run was a joke but not his fault by any means. He reminds me a lot of Rusev. I think if Busick were coming up today he would have a cult following. I was able to be a part of his final match and it meant and still means the world to me. He had a huge heart and will be missed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedbynumbers Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 the match is on youtube i believe. Both guys got color also. I was the commisioner working face at the time. The ring announcer didn't show so they had me doing double duty that night (actually triple, i did commentary for the DVD also). At the start of the show Bully suggested I start out with the pledge to the flag. He wanted Von Schmitt to come out attack and slam me. What actually happened was I got slammed (ripped part of my suit which pissed of my wife) and Bully made the save right in time to say "and justice for all" It worked perfectly. The match itself was a wild brawl around the building. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 14 hours ago, Wyld Samurai said: A wild and creative take on a tag team ladder match is that each belt has to be grabbed separately, and if 2 wrestlers who started out on opposing teams end up with a belt then they are a new tag team. Who, according to the WWE writer's bible, hate each other and will split up at the first opportunity. 14 hours ago, Sublime said: Way back in the day I figured that was how they would start Jeff Hardy and Edges singles runs, by having Christian and Matt each grad a title in a TLC or ladder match and become a team.

RIPPA Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Daniel Bryan was on Chris Jericho's podcast and two related things of note came out Jericho said that Vince asked him (Jericho) to be the backup plan in case Shane wasn't healthy for Mania. (They didn't really seem to go into the logistics of how they would have gotten Jericho there for the match but that is another story). And while talking about that - Bryan said that basically the WWE doesn't tell the wrestlers what is going on because they are afraid of it leaking to dirtsheets. Quote "We're in this stage now where they don't tell the boys anything. They keep all the secrets from the boys because they are afraid the boys are all talking to the dirtsheets," said Bryan. "When I got to TV the next day I was like 'what are we going to do?' Certainly he can't be wrestling. They said 'Well, he says he's wrestling but we have a backup. And we think it's a really good backup.' I say 'who is it?' and they say 'I can't tell you,'" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 A Dr, Claw gimmick sounds like a good idea - until Vince gave the gimmick to Cass, or signed Ryback again and gave it to him. Then it would bomb miserably and we'd all justifiably shit on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Supposedly (I am trying to remember what Meltzer said without digging through the WONs to find it) they did a fake breakup angle for the show (since they obviously do a lot of fake shit for the show) and they were supposed to get back together since the season was gonna end with the wedding. So Dave was saying it was an issue of do they use the fake breakup angle or do they have footage of the actual breakup 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
