Cromulent posted:For other inside references on air, look up Kevin Nash doing commentary on Thunder on his last day as booker. He's just blatantly saying stuff like "I don't remember what I booked here." or "When you see a video package of a guy, you know he's going over." Review a Wai is covering this show this week and I'm looking forward to it quite a lot because I've never actually seen that episode.

His segments in the online content haven't interacted directly with anyone else as far as I know, so he might not be back yet. I'm hoping he'll come back to a push.

Castomira posted:Were there ever any Jakked/Metal matches that could honestly be said to be three stars or higher? I've been reading through the match results for the various shows and it's remarkable how boring I remember the matches being, even as a grade schooler. There was a great Taka/Daniels match on Shotgun which was replaced by those shows. Once the changeover happened there was a period of cruiserweight matches that were in that range, I think mainly with London?

Velocity had some good matches with the cruiserweight revival. Almost all the matches were short. If they gave somebody on Jakked two ad breaks like Main Event they could have had a great match.

The 3 matches I remember liking on Jakked were Raven vs Lo' Ki, Mike Awesome vs Albert (I was kinda surprised), and a Dudleys/Kai En Tai match (they wrestled a couple times on Jakked, I think). Keep in mind that pretty much every Jakked match, if not all of them, were under 10 minutes because it was also a recap show, so all of these fall under "pretty good considering how much time was given", rather than "holy poo poo what a match!".

Yeah, on Velocity, Paul London and Akio/Yang/Jimmy Wang Yang (it was the Akio gimmick at the time) had a series of matches that were all pretty good.

Has John Cena ever hit an Avalanche AA? It seems like he goes for it in every big match but he's probably never actually succeeded.

What was Matt Bloom's gimmick in the Prince Albert/A-Train days? He's one of those wrestlers I remember absolutely nothing about character-wise.

Prince Albert days he was a tattooist i think he may have tattoo'd a wrestler once and once only after a match. And A-Train was just big wrestle guy and nothing else. He used to hit some sweet moves on jobbers when he was on velocity/jakked/metal sometimes.

A-Train had a sweet backbreaker where he had them up on his shoulder and jumped up and dropped to his knees and he had a good bicycle kick. Of course he'll always be most famous for taking the most hosed-up f5 in history.

It only slightly counts, but Steve Austin originally hated the name Steve Austin and was pretty much given that name as an audible to keep him from having the same name as "Dr. Death" Steve Williams.

However, I don't know if this is something I remember as actually happening, or have created as a memory from reading terrible wrestling boards in my youth. After Droz, I remember him just floating around with no distinct character other than being a big hairy dude with piercings. He was with the Big Bossman, in T&A (probably the biggest thing for him, mostly due to Trish), briefly in the X-Factor (only remembered by me due to the Uncle Kracker theme song), and then was nicknamed The Hip-Hop Hippo while he teamed with Scotty 2 Hotty before disappearing on the B-Shows until he came back as A-Train.

Thankfully grimes hosed up some top rope move or something and was released before that story went anywhere. I think he was only around for 2/3 weeks at the most.

Mick Foley hated when WCCW called him Cactus Jack Manson because he felt uncomfortable with the Charles Manson association. I don't know when he went back to just Cactus Jack.

Dunno if it counts since he was already a big star prior to it, but it's pretty evident that Dusty really disliked all the stuff Vince had him do during his WWF run, even though it got him over hugely with the WWF's audience at the time.

II believe he beat Justin Gabriel with one during the Nexus feud on a random Raw. This was when his 450 was the murderdeathkill move of the moment and Gabriel actually got a lot of offense in.

loving wait. I just checked out the gif thread, and WHEN DID loving GOLD DUST COME BACK?  Also Edge is back in the WWE? How long was he retired/out for? I loving miss all this poo poo because I think 'eh, it'll just be more of the same thing'

Both just came back for a night. Edge has been retired since right after WrestleMania in 2011. Goldust came back that night also for the chance to get his brother rehired.

They never reunited as a tag team (aside from some "one night only" stuff where a GM would force-team them together) and were singles wrestlers ever since the 2001 break-up. Personally, though, they are still friends and when Christian won the WHC at Extreme Rules 2011 it was Edge right there at ring-side with tears in his eyes as his buddy finally got his World Title.

In storyline they made up at new years revolution 2005 when Edge tried to get himself replaced in the chamber match by Christian. They had a pretty cool little skit on the show where they sorted out their differences.
