Early on in Balor vs. Owens in Brooklyn it seems like there's something going on that catches the attention of the audience taking place somewhere behind the announce table. What was it? I'm assuming just some fan trying to get himself over.

that and the screens on the monitors were showing the logo instead of the match so there were some TURN THE SCREENS ON chants; they turned on right after they stopped brawling in the entrance aisle

The next night, Owens is in a match and Taker's pyro miscues and the crowd chants "WE SAW FIRE," and Owens is like "YEAH THAT'S RIGHT I AM ON FIRE."

What was it? I'm assuming just some fan trying to get himself over. things happened: First, several people tried to throw streamers into the ring, like in Beast in the East. None of the streamers made it into the ring and only one was visible on the camera. Second, this led to "You can't throw!" chants because the throwers were really close. Third, they were escorted out by security, which led to "Let them stay" chants. Fourth, now that we were fixated on the match, we realized that the titantron and the screens above the ring were just showing the Takeover logo and no the action in the ring. In the nosebleeds this was a big problem because we couldn't loving see the belt due to the lighting rig. This led to "Turn the screen on!" chants, of which I was a part because loving hell we couldn't see much of anything. Eventually the screens started working. Finally, the streamer throwers were allowed to go back to their seats. They got massive applause and "Yes!" chants. Pretty much everything that could draw our attention away from the first 10 minutes of the match did.

AlmightyPants posted:things happened: I was surprised at how much of that whole thing was left in the broadcast. We watched it again the other night and they still haven't edited it, so I guess they're not planning on it. You can also hear the one guy that absolutely refused to shut up when Triple H asked for everyone to be quiet so he could do the "lights on, full house cheering" thing. In addition to that asshike, you also had a bunch of other people telling him to shut up. You can hear all of this at the beginning of the show. EDIT: Auto-Correct was certain I meant "asshike" instead of "rear end in a top hat" Pope Corky the IX fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Sep 11, 2015 |

  I heard that Scott Steiner cancelled on the local Kansas fed and is now being replaced with Matt Hardy  best picture of Flex Reed available? Pretty sure that is what Matt Hardy looks like in 2015  ¡Dios mío! In the poster for the 24th show Flex Reed doesn't have the heavyweight strap. Guess WWX got big plans for Matt Hardy, dude probably has the time, BBQ is great in Kansas too.

Has a two out of three falls ever just gone to two straight falls or is it always the same setup of one fall for one guy the other fall for the other guy?

Yes, out of the hundreds of thousands of two out of three falls matches in history, some of them have gone 2 straight falls.

That was the Briscoes' gimmick in ROH for a while, too. Multiple wins in 2 falls.

I like when in Mexican promotions (where the 2/3 falls is just a standard match type) a guy will win the first fall, and then intentionally lose the second fall just by crushing their opponents dick or something (Undertaker style) so that they have an easier third fall that's how I'd book every 2/3 falls match tbh

Intentionally losing the first fall is a special kind of stupid. Second fall is fine because you have the advantage, but you are intentionally handicapping yourself on the first.

It's not exactly a 2/3 falls match, but the Angle/Lesnar Iron Man Match featured one of them (Angle I think) deliberately taking a couple of DQ falls to soften the other up with a chair. Kinda a cool use of the rules, imo.

It was Brock, yeah. He clobbered Angle with a chair for the DQ loss, then F5ed him for a pin, then beat up his lifeless corpse.

rotinaj posted:Were there ever any backstage stories that got out on Youshoots or anything like that about Bastion Booger? The closest I've heard is Pat Patterson telling a story about him on one of the Legends of Wrestling roundtables. He went to Pat and asked if he could get more bookings as his run was starting to die down. Pat told him the only person who could do that was Vince and advised him to go talk to him. Later he sees him and asks how it went. "Not so good, he fired me."

Is there a comprehensive list anywhere online of male wrestlers who adopted gimmicks that were gay, implied they were gay, or were extremely effeminate? I would count the more effeminate "dandy" wrestlers, like Gorgeous George. So far, I've got: Gorgeous George, Ricky Starr, Adrian Street, Adrian Adonis, Goldust, Rico, Dalton Castle, Billy & Chuck, Lenny & Lodi, the Christopher Street Connection, The Heart Throbs (WWE 2005)... Anyone else?

Orlando Jordan for one. Darren Young is an interesting case, as he came out in real life, but thankfully his character hasn't been pushed in the camp direction it likely would have been a few years back, he's still just a wrestler.

And who could forget Hard Gay and Danshoku Dino? And Kwee Wee. The gayest gimmick in history was the Hardcore Soldiers in WCW, but the company didn't acknowledge it.

I don't know if you could count Patterson, as the closest his sexual persuasion ever got to being a gimmick was during his run as a stooge, and even then I think it was just winks and nudges from the announcers.

I don't count Pat Patterson since it definitely wasn't his gimmick. Obviously the same goes for Darren Youngoatgan posted:there are too many to list in mexico but cassandro and maximo are good examples Yeah I should have specified in the U.S. Exoticos are a whole different thing and culture. Thanks for the other answers guys! Dunno how I blanked on Orlando Jordan. oatgan posted:he started off as "pretty boy" patterson and came to the ring in lipstick with his french poodle Edit: ok I wasn't aware of that
