LoneWolf&Subs Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I was so disappointed when I first heard the Outsiders new names on a WCW PPV pre-show(What I last minute decision that was). But being a Razor fan I was relieved that he had the better name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 If I use someone's old name, it's usually because I can't remember what the fuck I'm supposed to be calling him today. I'm bad with names as it is; now you want me to cycle between different ones every 3-4 years? Might be worth noting on the Nigel doc on the Network, when Bryan texted him after winning his first WWE championship, Nigel called him "Dragon." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Did anybody have a moment in there life where they didn’t tell their friends, and family that they watched professional wrestling? I know when I was 8(I know that’s really fucking young) that happened. I knew that wrestling was fake as shit, and anytime my sister channel surfed when she landed on the same channel, I switched immediately to another program fast while I was in my room with the door closed. For some reason anytime you watched the same channel as somebody else, the sound of both TV’s synced in such a way that you can hear the same channel clearly in another room. When that happened I’d always get a “What are you watching!?”. Sometimes when I was in the same room with a family member that changed to a channel with wrestling on I’d say stuff like “Who’d watch this dumb shit!?”. Deep down I was like “Me, that’s who”. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiseReise Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Oh, knowledgeable folks of DVDR... I have a question for you. I recently watched lots of Sid Vicious / Justice videos. When precisely did the whole Millenium Man Deal go down? I remember it to be one of the best things in an otherwise not too good WCW. But when did it start?

Craig H Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Near the end of WCW. 2000 I think. It was when they did a spoof of Goldberg's streak, but with Sid with the purpose of building to Sid vs Goldberg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiseReise Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I have narrowed it down to somewhere between June 13th and Halloween Havoc 99. He came in as bodyguard to Macho at the GAB that year. I really have no idea when he started powerbombing undercarders during their matches with his own ref holding up signs saying 84-0 and such though... Edit: Also, was Sid v Goldberg really good or do I just wish for it to have been good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid vs. Goldberg was fun and better than it had any right to be. I wish there were some legit monster wrestlers today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lars ever recovers from whatever he has, then he, and Strowman would potentially make a great rivalry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Sid was getting built up as "undefeated since returning" to challenge "undefeated, period*" Goldberg he was Macho Man's bodyguard and (IIRC) the most plausible suspect for the forever unanswered "Who Was Hummer Driver" mystery (I assume Savage's retirement made it moot, on top of WCW just forgetting/abandoning it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Oh that fucking white Hummer angle. They should’ve payed RVD a truckload of cash, and weed to be the driver. I always say when they do angles like that, that if you can’t get a well known outsider, then don’t bother doing it. The last good one was DDP, but then they for some reason after the reveal they didn’t forget the part that he was a stalker, and not the fucking master of the Diamond Cutter, Diamond Dallas Page! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I've been watching all the Portland Wrestling I can find on YouTube. What a criminally overlooked territory. MAybe it's because I'm from the Pacific Northwest but this is some straight shootin no frills wrestling. Dutch Savage is a fucking boss who never gets his due.

And that's an exception that proves the rule: apparently the common rule of thumb on the wrestling scene is 'call another wrestler by the first gimmick you met them under"...which works for wrestlers, but becomes yet another way that a smarky wrestling fan thinks they're acting like an insider but just makes themselves sound like a twatwaffle of the nth degree. ...besides, it also hurts your "insider cred"- if, as we said, we're in a post-kayfabe world of wrestling, calling people by their kayfabe names- or even the smarky "by their real names", shouldn't matter. Just call the wrestler something that has nothing to do with their gimmick or name in the first place. To me, there is no Dana Brooke, there is only Zuul. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
