Whose idea was it to make a 400 pound white guy from Nebraska a rapper wearing a singlet that made him look like an elephant? Whose idea was it to put him in a scaffold match on PPV with Bobby Eaton against Stunning Steve Austin and Terry Taylor?

Watch the parts unknown video on the last page, looks like it's just a thing that randomly spread through Asian communities for some reason

It wasn't very expensive in the 80's and 90's, there are a million locations in California, and they have cheese toast. There's not much to it.

Bash '91 is the one where they're chanting We Want Flair constantly and is like the worst PPV ever made

I was looking up the Great American Bash 91 and forgot that Luger was US champ at the time. I didn't remember him ever having both titles at the same time, so further digging found a house show where a one night tournament was held where Sting won the US title.

Here is the bracket:

code:
Sting___________
                |Sting______
Arn Anderson____|           |
                            |Sting_____
Diamond Stud____            |          |
                |Stud_______|          |
Bobby Eaton_____|                      |
                                       |Sting___
             Barry Windham__           |
                            |          |
Steve Austin____            |Austin____|
                |Austin_____|
Tom Zenk________|
 
Johnny B. Badd__
                |Draw_______
Yellow Dog______|           |
                            |___________
Ricky Morton____            |
                |DDQ________|
Dustin Rhodes___|
What was the plan with that bottom bracket?

Also, why does Windham get a bye like that?

Also, why did WCW Tournaments always have brackets that were non-standard?

Cena is decent at actually freestyling but for some reason either him or the writers decided the best way to translate that to a wrestling crowd was to have him do lethargic dr. Seuss disses which were legit over for a while regardless

I would rather listen to ten minutes of John Cena freestyling disses against Randy Orton (tell me how my rear end taste) than PN News.

Got to give Cena props for growing past a gimmick which was bound to get tedious pretty fast, also for overcoming being burdened with a human charisma black hole like Bull 'B2' Buchanan. That guy was the wrestling career equivalent of a 10-ton anchor.

The only thing I know about Cena's rapping skills are that loving WWE 2K15 commercial, where the loving line they decided to use to show off Cena's rap prowess was

they shoulda never let Cena spit with Wiz Khalifa

Which, considering the way he delivered that and how it somehow sounded worse every time I heard the commercial, seems accurate. I guess what I'm wondering is, are there any clips of him actually doing it well in a promo, or was it just as bad as I'm imagining?

Kurt wasn't born upper class though.

Cena was born to a giant house, privately educated and votes Republican. By all rights he should be wearing a polo shirt with the collar popped and drinking over priced beer in a trendy nighclub.

His gimmick was amazingly poo poo, don't get me wrong. I bought the 2004 Royal Rumble on a whim after stopping watching wrestling since 2002 and gently caress me was he terrible on it.

His DVD's (And that segment on RAW where Edge invaded his family house while his character was supposed to be a street tough), his interview with Austin where he tried to play down his private education and this...

I technically went to the same university as Arnold Schwarzenegger. In reality, Arnie took correspondence courses from there in the late 1970's and got a B.A. in International Marketing of Fitness and Business Administration, probably the one thing more laughable than a degree in Global Studies.

I remember a promo in response to CM Punk about how "he offered change and had a great celebration in Chicago but it was all bullshit and he's not going to be around much longer, lol" right before the 2012 election that sounded suspiciously like it was not directed at CM Punk.
