Spontaneous Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I enjoyed his match against Nick Gage from the GCW/BLP show a few years back. Effy seems to excel at death match wrestling and it isn't for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 IWA-MS and "woke" aren't two things I ever thought would go together, but here we are. Good for Ian, though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setsuna Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Was Ian the Rotten who did a tape trading or selling business in the mid-90s? I'm not exactly sure the specifics of this story but a 13 year old me was internetting back in the day - I think I must have been in like a chat room or something - and he was stunned that I had never seen ECW before. Said he'd send me a tape, he did, and I wore that shit out and passed it around all over my middle school. It was just a best-of style dub, with the cane Dewey angle, lots of 2-Cold/Sandman, Rey/Psicosis, a bunch of other stuff. Also, 13 year old me happily handed over my home address to someone on the internet ( who may or may not have been Ian or Axl Rotten). Edit : Just to say that I could be misremembering this whole story and it was just some random person who sent me the tape. For whatever reason, I remember it being one of the Rottens though.

cubbymark Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Hell froze over now that Ian Rotten and Jim Cornette agree on something. As for the Jack Evans/Cornette spat, Jack’s lucky no one has pointed out how he used to be running buddies with Teddy Hart once upon a time.

No idea about ECW, but Ian did do "tape trading" back in the day. I probably only remember that because Ian bootlegged his own shows. No, that's not a misprint. Ian sold bootleg copies of IWA-MS shows (Smart Mark Video had the rights to IWA-MS footage). I don't recall hearing of Axl selling footage or anything like that, so I'd guess it was Ian. Just a guess though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) I personally got a kick out of Drake pulling the "back in my day" schtick and then listing a bunch of names that, aside from Bull Pain (who legit dated back to the previous generation) and MAYBE Eddie Kingston, would not have been welcome in the wrestling business 20 years prior to that or would not have risen above TV job/outlaw duty.

Casey Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Holy fuck last night’s episode of that A&E Hidden Treasures show or whatever is hilarious for all the wrong reasons. AJ Francis and Mark Henry getting upset about Sonny Ono putting the Giant Machine mask up for action, with Francis saying he has no right to do it because he had no connection to Andre. Get the fuck outta here, this entire show is literally them “buying” pieces from fans for their non-existent Hall of Fame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Drake mentioning Kingston about wrestling being too woke when Kingston has BLM IN HIS TWITTER NAME is hilarious. It is like Drake stepped out of a cave from 10 years ago and can't believe seeing all these people have changed/grown up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, though. As a guy who cheered him on through his comeback and checked out podcasts and interviews because he was such a cool, positive guy, reading the truly ugly stuff he wrote is so sad.

dragonzombie Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Samoa Joe is back with WWE, he will work for the NXT brand only. Triple H wanted him back. Edited June 14, 2021 by D.Z 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume maybe that's the "change" Regal was talking about at the end of the PPV. I could see him coming in as a non-wrestler - commissioner, problem solver, announcer - then work the odd match when needed. That's probably best for his career and health at this point, though I selfishly wanted him in AEW (I haven't watched a single WWE show for most of this calendar year).

John from Cincinnati Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 If Joe can wrestle and is in an authority role, that really helps solve the problem of Regal never getting to have that odd one-off match with one of the problem children such as Dunne or Cole or whoever would count as such these days.
