Or there is a area in between the Gorilla Position and the locker room and so when someone does a run in one of the many headset wearing WWE employees just tells the sound guy to hit their music. This is what I assumed when I was a kid at least.

The little doohickey in the boots is outdated. It'd be ideal if it didn't begin every theme with "Now, ENTERING THE TITANTROOOOOON!".

sticklefifer posted:I always figured the RFID was in their boots, but sometimes they wear their stealth boots instead. Otherwise it implies every sneak attack run-in without music has someone digging hunks of electronics out of their flesh. They're probably doing this anyway in fear of the day that Vince reveals his WWEChip killswitch and Raw is just the storyline of Metal Gear Solid 4.

Two unrelated questions: 1. Has Tyson Dux ever been given a serious look from WWE and why didn't he go anywhere? 2. Have any Japanese orgs ever been interested in CM Punk? Not so much now but maybe during his pre-WWE days?

How many people flip flopped between WWF and WCW before they closed? Off the top of my head I know: Steiner Brothers, Ric Flair, Big Bossman and Jeff Jarrett (who I think did it twice?) and X-pac. What was their reasoning?

flashy_mcflash posted:Two unrelated questions: Punk did a Zero-One tour. And Dux has had dark matches, I imagine his size got in the way (he's semi retired now, although he recently wrestled Shinsuke Nakamura when NJPW came to Canada). He's only about 5'10 according to Wikipedia, which also lists Daniel Bryan at that height.

Their reasoning was da monayyyyy Well Flair left WCW cause he hated the new management and they basically ran him out of the company. Then in WWF his run with Hogan didn't go as well as planned, and he went back down south to Flair Country.

Red posted:He was pretty much the perfect formula for the WWE to reach the Latino audience: Mask, charisma, promo ability, great worker, unique appeal, high value as an "attraction", and came from a Lucha background. They won't find another Mysterio for a while. At a Smackdown taping here in San Diego, we got Eddie vs. Edge in a ladder match and Rey vs. Brock in a title match. Eddie, despite being the heel, was cheered like a face the whole time and a spontaneous chant of his name broke out after the match, even though he lost. If Rey would have won the title, the roof would have come off the loving building. Mexicans really, REALLY love their wrestlers.

(King) Haku didn't do a whole lot in the WWF besides being a fake king and tagging with Andre, and he went to go be Meng in WCW. I want to say he ended up having some sort of deal without a contract, where he was literally working on a handshake deal, and WCW put their hardcore title on him. So he jumped to the WWF to work alongside heel Rikishi and fight Kane and Undertaker. Edit: Wait, was Haku one of The Islanders? I only remember Tama.

I got a couple 1: Are there any big video libraries of old promotions that the WWE still doesn't own yet? 2: I have been watching a few of the ECW Hardcore TVs. Most them are basically clip shows of previous shows. are the old ECW events from the early 90s available in their entirety at all or is it just the Hardcore TVs?

WWE started uploading some to the Network but you'd have to... obtain the rest if you want them. I think Cornette's been trying to figure out the rights situation with Lawler about the Memphis library since at this point his 30 year old tape collection is the Memphis masters as a lot of the original tapes were wiped or degraded.

Big Show was funny imitating other wrestlers 14 years ago. Big Show was a good opponent for Brock Lesnar after beating him once and then losing to him 500 times in a row. Big Show was good last year when HHH was making fun of him and people wanted Show to knock him out. See, lots of times!
