Just imagined Viscera with Conway’s music and realised the perfect wrestler could have existed, but alas

I kinda liked Viscera as a lower-card big dude that guys on the way to IC/US level could beat and get some credibility but man that ill-advised repackage in 08 really sours my memory of him.

Didn't Vladimir Kozlov come out to literally nothing but a spotlight for a few weeks to start?

I am going to San Juan PR in a few weeks. Are there any good wrestling stores and historical sites near the boat docks or within a few miles?

There's a cockfighting ring not too far from there, but most of the Colon wrestling isn't in San Juan.

Men who have eliminated the Undertaker from the Royal Rumble: Hawk & Animal Hulk Hogan Giant Gonzalez Stone Cold Steve Austin Rikishi Maven Brock Lesnar Shawn Michaels The Big Show Roman Reigns A few of these names stick out rather egregiously in hindsight.

What's the story with Hogan going to New Japan and why didn't he ever win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship?

I believe the accepted story is that Hogan, thinking he was putting over the IWGP title, did a promo burying the WWE championship, which he held at the time. Someone pointed out that if he was willing to throw his home promotion's belt under the bus, then he could easily do the same to the IWGP belt in America, which hosed over his chance at getting it.

Yeah, this is the generally accepted story on his not-winning the IWGP title.

I wonder if The Undertaker is the reason Maven got released, since The Undertaker is a white supremacist.

That story is dumb and wrong. He wasn't going to get the title because he wasn't doing a lot of NJPW dates and they weren't putting the belt on him. The cool and good story is the WWF heard about the interview and Hogan had to deny he said it.

Hogan is in hot water again after a vhs home movie from his time in Japan was found, in which he fucks his friends wife, complains that he ate too much sushi, and calls the WWF title the n-word My Q: did Hogan use “ani” or “aniki” when cutting promos in Japan?

Titus grabbed Vince rather forcefully and swung him around a little, which is extremely dangerous to do to anyone over 70 years old. If Titus had gone to vince earlier and said, "I'm going to yank your body because of the 'ladies first' saying, and the audience will appreciate it" then there would likely have been no problem. vince will do anything for the TV show as long as he is not taken by surprise. he is the leader of wrestling and should be the only person who knows how everything is going to go down in order to protect it and make sure it's good

Is having weed in your system enforced as a wellness policy violation in WWE? (say if it's the only substance found in the screen?) I would assume it is, but with the general attitude about cannabis shifting in American society, perhaps it's swept under the rug as long as the talent is sober while working?
