Chris James 2 posted:He did. I don't know which would have made the fans more bloodthirsty, that or just continuing to name moves for 7 minutes Armbar. Edut: It should be noted that it went through a commercial break at the top of the hour, he rattled off another dozen holds, and then the cameras cut off him to show the Nitro Girls, filled by Tony and the crew talking about 2nd hour. You can see Chris reading off more names in the background. Than finally Prince Iaukea saved us from Jericho. OJ MIST 2 THE DICK fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Jan 17, 2015 |

Also y'all already knew this, but holy crap was tony bad at his job. He kind of buried Luger at the start of his unveiling, and while that poo poo was stupid it was kind of not his place to do that. Heenan looks so checked out, mentally  Their little spat reminds me of a weird thing in the WCW Mayhem game where randomly they'll get into a 2-3 minute long argument about something dumb. I can't believe that made it into an official product.

Monkeycheese posted:I read Bischoff's book since my local library had it. If you can get it for free from a friend or library or something it's kinda interesting in a "full of poo poo egotistical twatface who never admits anything was his fault" kind of way but I wouldn't reccomend buying it unless you get a used copy for like a dollar or something Bischoff's book is interesting in that it shows Bischoff must fall to his knees and thank god for the ultimately utterly disastrous TBS/Time Warner and (especially) the TBS-Time Warner-AOL mergers, because it meant he could absolve himself of all responsibility and throw the companies under the bus for every screwup he made. It wasn't his fault, he was being ordered by corporate suits who had no clue about wrestling to do things and it all exploded as he expected. He said the same thing on a podcast with Steve Austin; none of this was my fault, I tried to go into new markets and then I got a hand rammed up my rear end that hosed me and WCW until they died. You will notice Bischoff never breathes a word about TNA, where basically the exact same thing happened and he had complete control and no one to blame when he helped completely gently caress it up (more).

Piper talks about Age in the Cage on his podcast this week! "WCW was the worst part of my career." Piper said Age in the Cage was his idea and he'd knew he was going over because if Hogan really wants to bring that feud back to life, he's not letting him go over. The cage was nearly impossible to climb because of how it was constructed, the aluminum rods holding the steel wire together spun when you tried to grab them. And when they did go to the top of the cage, it started breaking apart and Piper was afraid he was going to fall off. And since the cage was way bigger than the ring, you couldn't just fall into the ring, you're falling 15 feet onto concrete. "Yeah, the match sucked, but what moron builds a cage like that?" He also said he stole ICON from Randy Savage.

Say Nothing posted:I think Awesome might have done that deliberately because the guy was being a douchebag. Nah, it looked like a planned spot that went wrong. You can see the clown guy land and then slowly start to slide off the bus and Awesome gets an "Oh, poo poo" look on his face and tries to grab him. That spot is like one of the few things I remember about late-era WCW to this day. EDIT Could only find it in lovely quality. Awesome jumps down immediately does the cover just to end the thing.

I've only ever heard good things about them wrestling promotion wise and I can't stand ICP. This is what I have to say about ICP. Their Music: Some of their songs are... at least, ya know, funny. Sort of. Like in a hosed up way. Not hosed up like "holy poo poo you gotta listen to this really weird song" but more like "holy poo poo try not to laugh at this crap." And that's kind of endearing to some degree. The people they work with are, actually, talented. Even Shaggy himself is a great turntablist and Mike Clark is an amazing producer. And they work with a lot of really good rappers like Tech N9ne and Monoxide Child from Twisted and that guy from (hed) pe and Kottonmouth Kings when they're not rapping about weed (literally one percent of their catalog) so if you're into horrorcore rap sort of stuff occasionally they're alright. I mean, that Chris Benoit song wasn't that bad and I admit I like it and it's a guilty pleasure. Their Wrestling: All of that being said holy poo poo they're much better wrestlers. Watching these guys wrestle knowing who they were was amazing because... no formal training whatsoever, yet are better than most geeks in the industry. They sell well, cut promos like champs, they know their moves, and even pull off some moves that are a little extreme for most guys and do it without injuring themselves or anyone else... too much anyway. There have been a couple of botched spots but for a couple of jackasses who never went to a wrestling school they're better than even some guys in the indies right now. They held their own in both WWF and WCW and ECW. And JCW is a promotion that pays great and treats their talent awesomely. And they don't screw around when it comes to who they get for their shows. It's the reason why they're such great friends with Rob Van Dam, Greg Valentine, Scott Hall, Colt Cabana, Necro Butcher, etc. To hear guys talk about ICP now is great, especially if they were guys who originally were in WWF at the time they were. Like, I think it was Mosh? Who was talking about shoot fighting ICP in the ring on WWF because they thought they were just lovely rappers who wanted to use their fame to become wrestlers or just are there to promote an album but after a match or two turned around and said "No, these guys are great, they know how to wrestle and are really safe workers and just nice guys about the whole thing." I think they get a lot of heat simply because they're ICP... and truth be told they never would have ended up on WWF or WCW or ECW or started their own promotion if it wasn't for their music career... but had they gone to a school, like Ace's or something, and gotten proper training and came out to the ring as ICP in the indies and worked their way up from there rather than doing the rap thing and getting in that way? Personally I think they would have made it as wrestlers anyway. It's the heart they put into it man. It's great. I liked ICP alright as rappers but I became fans of them as wrestlers. I mean in almost every wrestling video game with character creation that I have ever played I have made a Violent J and a Shaggy 2 Dope because I'm such a huge mark for these guys. All of that being said? I don't like to own their merchandise... because, yeah, I don't want people thinking I'm a juggalo. Just... ew. I currently live with a "reformed juggalo" and occasionally someone will see the Hatchetman tattoo on the back of his neck and be all "Woop woop juggalo fam ninja hiya!" or whatever the gently caress. I cringe.
