What kind of name is "Unscripted" for a wrestling show anyway? Was there some sort of gimmick to the event?

Didn't Aries and Strong get stuck at an ROH show due to a blizzard and miss a TNA PPV?

How come Ric Flair's forehead doesn't look like he combs his hair with a lawnmower? I'm sure some guys practiced better aftercare on their bladejobs than others, but he's infamously continued to do bloody matches into his 60s and his head looks basically fine.

Dusty Rhodes on the other hand, should never appear on TV in HD ever. His forehead looks like spaghetti.

I assumed he'd had plastic surgery. His face changed drastically between 2002 and 2004.

I don't recall Foley's head really being that much of a mess either (well, physically).

I know Jericho didn't like blading and preferred blood capsules, did anyone else?

triplexpac posted:What kind of name is "Unscripted" for a wrestling show anyway? Was there some sort of gimmick to the event? The gimmick was "half of hour roster is stuck in a blizzard somewhere so we throw the script out the window and just make up matches as the wrestlers arrive to the building". Which is quite different than the "Half of our roster is stuck in Europe due to a volcano so we'll focus the entire show on dumb McGruber skits" method the WWE uses for extreme circumstances. Oh, and on the topic of disgusting foreheads, Devon has to be up there in the running for most disgusting forehead alongside Dusty. Easy to tell that when it came to the Dudleys bleeding, 99& of the time it was Devon.

If I remember right, the impact from the fall wasn't what knocked Mick out during that match (though I'm sure it hurt like a son of a bitch), but rather the chair that was up there falling afterward and landing on his face.

I think he preferred to blade on his scalp so his hair would cover any scars in the future. There are others like Triple H who appear to have done the same considering how his forehead looks fine as well.

Yeah, I remember Flair's bloodiest spots being in stark contrast to his platinum blond hair, so my assumption was that he bladed above the hairline. I can vividly picture a big red stain turning big spots of his hair bright red.

In non kayfabe reasons, why did the mitb winners win? (Like what were the intentions for Sandow, ADR, Orton, etc.)

Abrasive Obelisk posted:In non kayfabe reasons, why did the mitb winners win? (Like what were the intentions for Sandow, ADR, Orton, etc.) so they could get a title shot and either win or lose that title shot. If they won the title, that would probably lead into a story. If not, then same. Except for Sandow, that just seemed to be so he could feud with Cody.

(Like what were the intentions for Sandow, ADR, Orton, etc.) At first it was for the same reason why KOTR existed: to give an aggressive push to an upper-midcarder with the guarantee of a title and a main-event spot. Lately, though, the briefcase has been used for storylines for dudes already in the world title picture simply to give them a shot and nothing more (Sandow was a really odd case because he wasn't in the world title hunt and got the briefcase just to furthur a feud with Cody). Only WWE could tell you what were the plans for each individual MITB winner in terms of story and title shots.

So when one of the Twilight movies came out, Matt Striker said on commentary “He thinks those Twilight kids look like Sir Oliver Humperdink” and a few minutes later “Listen, a lot of things are unexplained, eleven years between Toy Story sequels, yet seven months between Twilight movies, so I guess time goes on, so does evolution”. A few months earlier he also said "In the twilight of a new moon a seemingly supernatural phenom is among us” during an Undertaker match. Now, two of those lines barely make sense, but at least the first ones are telling you there's a movie out you should probably go see. The second one, though, is just really weird and cryptic and sticks out like a sore thumb. What I'm wondering is did the Twilight studio (Summit, I think) pay WWE to advertise it in this manner? Wouldn't it have been better if they just sponsored the episode outright? This has stuck with me for years.

Yeah, Striker is just a massive dork. He brought up poo poo like Twilight and Daken (Wolverine's bisexual son with super-daterape powers) on commentary all the time

The second one is making GBS threads on Twilight, here. So.

It was a hurricane that weekend. There was a blizzard for another show earlier in the year. In both cases, Chikara had originally planned to do a Rumble-esque "Countdown Showdown" match and had to cancel it due to the travel issues.

I read something about it being Bagwell cutting a promo about him on Nitro and Steiner's steroid-addled brain taking it seriously so I'll just settle with "Scott Steiner is a dangerous lunatic." e: And in the process of googling I came across this 1999 Angelfire Scott Steiner fan site with up-to-the minute updates on Scott Steiner!

This is probably another case of that.
