Here's a question: The gently caress is a jabroni, and how does one beat it?

Oh. Well that makes "jabroni-beating" considerably less awesome.

Dickeye posted:It holds that build for way too long. You get the "oh poo poo" moment plus about thirty seconds of waiting, which defeats the point of the oh poo poo. There's like 10 seconds between the theme beginning and the rapadoo ending. It's fine.

This is only tangential to wrestling, but who is in Captain Charisma's avatar? I only see Road Dogg anytime I look at it, but I know it's not.

Lloyd Boner posted:No, gently caress that. More entrance themes need that subdued intro before the big pop. Like the Hollywood heel Rock theme or Jericho's before they lobbed off the countdown. The big pop intros are good too, but variety is the spice of life Hogan's "Real Americans" has that build too- maybe shorter than Cena's, but it works.

Trollologist posted:That every (non stipulation) match ends with either a finisher, count-out, small package, or DQ. I have been saying to to my buddies for years, Simply having a few matches sometimes end to things like superpexes or rest submissions would add a lot of suspense to the rest of the matches. If people submit to chinlocks or get pinned by a big spinebuster, the two counts in a big match gain a lot of suspense, since the audience knows those moves HAVE won matches. Instead no one ever gets worried until huge moves or finishers are pulled out. Lloyd Boner posted:No, gently caress that. More entrance themes need that subdued intro before the big pop. Like the Hollywood heel Rock theme or Jericho's before they lobbed off the countdown. The big pop intros are good too, but variety is the spice of life I agree, and for what dickeye is talking about they should just pull off the intro for run ins and such, just start at Rapadooo.

Rapadoo is a great "Aw poo poo it's Cena", he comes out at the end of the "word", salutes, runs down. You get the same intro, without the instrumental, and it'd work a hundred times better. Especially with a quicker, higher energy intro, that wait is bad. It's different if it's the Undertaker and his slow, methodical song and the bells. Speaking of which, the lights dropping out in Raw c. 1998 is a great "awww gently caress" pop.

When you're in the crowd however that instrumental builds a sense of anticipation and atmosphere. I'm not a huge Cena fan but the start of his tune sends goosebumps down my arms when I'm watching in the crowd. It works.

John Cena's theme music is fine. We don't need to re-invent the wheel here. When he wins matches they go right into the hook. The whole intro is because people go crazy for it every time.

There's never been a bigger time to push Christian, and his time on ECW shows he can be a credible champ. I can't imagine he was happy when he read the script that day.

My more serious question, as I enter a mid-life crisis and get nostalgic about all of the great Jericho moments I lived for on Monday nights while I was in High School....Is there any video on the internet of the bit he did when he wore sunglasses to the ring, where he whipped them off, revealing another pair of sunglasses underneath?

So apparently UFC has just given their fighters insurance policies for injuries sustained in fights and the fighters don't even pay a premium for their policy. During a recent Wrestling Observer Radio they said that WWE picks up the tab for some of the major surgeries for things that happen in the ring - is there any chance they may follow suit and insure all the wrestlers? I'm guessing the answer is 'not a chance' but UFC putting 350 fighters (according to Wrestling Observer Radio) on an insurance policy can't possibly make the fake fighting company look good in regards to taking care of their workers.
