Germansimp posted:'Terrible' doesn't even begin to describe it: This reminds me of Randy Savage's one WCW theme. Just take the same song and play it on electric guitar because that's cooler, I guess. Now Flair's old WWF theme, on the other hand, was a good knockoff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6RoasSoLK0

Capsaicin posted:What's your favorite match/promo/skit that isn't something that people remember very well? Like, a good skit that is the opposite of popularity of "this is your life" with Rock/Foley. Pretty much anything Hardcore Holly did during his Super Heavyweight stint. "Why don't you get on the scale Dracula, you fat bastard?" "Now making their way to the ring, at a buck and a quarter, Anorexic Annie and Karen Carpenter."

One of my favorites is the Kurt Angle promo where he says he's not a big fan of "the black people." "If I could go back in time, the one person I'd like to make tap out would be.. Jesus." "Who'd he ever beat?"

Can anyone explain the storyline circumstances of Kawada leaving Misawa's stable to team with Taue in 1993? From what I've seen, Kawada and Taue go to a 30 minute draw in the Carny, shaking hands at the end to end their feud. Then during Kawada/Kobashi/Kikuchi vs. Taue/Fuchi/Ogawa, Kikuchi tags in Kawada to go against Taue eliciting a big reaction from the crowd. Later, Kawada gives Taue a look and then hits the Nodowa Otoshi on Ogawa. At the end of the match, Kawada is crying as he raises his partners' hands. From then on he's teaming with Taue. The full TVs for '93 aren't on YouTube (and I understand very little Japanese anyway), so I'm having a hard time filling in the gaps here.

On the episode of RAW where Donald Trump was in charge, Vince's limo broke down and he made his driver give him a piggyback ride to the arena. It's only about a minute long and it's one of my favorite Vince moments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E-7I-MGu4U

sportsgenius86 posted:PWG: I can only speak to the PWG list personally, and yours is solid but I think Mystery Vortex II also deserves a recommendation. That Trevor Lee/Cedric Alexander/Andrew Everett opening match is worth the price of admission alone, and the rest of the card is quite good as well. I'm really looking forward to Everett being ready to wrestle again, hopefully sooner rather than later. ROH and PWG will both have a bunch of fresh new matchups with him back in the picture.

I think it's bullshit that some production company got away with stealing work from kraftwerk for the tune that became Booker's theme. Then again I guess a lot of people stole from them and got away with it.

I have a certain appreciation for the "Cody and Kaitlyn awkwardly flirt backstage" angle that was dropped because the Bellas returned and derailed it for another angle that was dropped. "Excuse me, I mustache you a question..." "HAHA *snort*"

Like, a good skit that is the opposite of popularity of "this is your life" with Rock/Foley. So many. Like when Road Warrior Hawk compares the Outlaws to his boogers at DX 97. Or the Rock doing impressions of all three NWO members' old personas sometime in the runup to Mania 18 (maybe at No Way Out that year). Or Mick Foley telling the crowd at No Mercy (the first one) 1999 that he wasn't allowed to say "wanker". Or just the musical delivery of Stone Cold saying "eh eh, no longer" when he's talking about turning after WM 17. I remember non-classic promos better than the famous ones tbh. I can recite more Boss Man promos word for word than I can remember lines from This Is Your Life.

Kanyon coming out as Boy George and then getting kicked to poo poo by the Undertaker always stands out to me. Especially with how recent it was. Kamala is an example. Pretty much any gimmick where one party saying "That's racist" where the party complaining are almost always heels. I know a lot of people have a weird nostalgia for Muhammad Hassan but Jesus that was a gimmick that could only end badly. And shockingly, it did.
