fly star vs toxin is a heck of a match. is there a site or a youtube or something to keep up with mexican indie deathmatch stuff?
also g-raver rules and jeff cannonball is so likable, i need to remember he's a good wrestler and not just "the deathmatch friend of tom". thanks!

A combo of the Luchablog twitter, LuchaTV on youtube and just random people. I'll also look up certain venues or promotions to see if anything has popped up.

It's always weird how Vince hates Dave until he needs him for something. then Dave can call his personal number and poo poo

Vince has seen Dave's biceps, and thus can never truly hate his secret robot son.

remember the classic "i'm a literal retard" gimmick haha (ie, Eugene)

If I were a wrestler I think I could probably pull that one off.

What's the worst storyline/gimmick WWE have ever done? Worst as in distasteful/racist/sexist, and specific to WWE because, well, they're on national television. I imagine everyone, including me, can immediately come up with a top ten without even a seconds thought, but I'm interested in if a consensus can be reached on what the shittiest thing is that WWE have ever put on TV.

The New Day's theme is effectively just like clicking (A snare drum? I don't know instruments.)

There's music and even lyrics but you can never hear those on TV.



(Mickie's is similar. There's more music in there, but all you hear on TV is the same Toni Basil ripoff part that's like 8 notes repeating. That's not really a good answer to this question though.)

The Mean Street Posse theme is just, like, half of a blues riff repeated for three minutes.

viscera's gimmick was mabel but evil. the commentators never talked about big visc's embrace of a 'gothic lifestyle' unlike the brood so he wasnt a vampire.

Total fuckin' silence.
Yeah, Mabel was a happy, fun-loving fat guy who sometimes wore a crown. He was literally abducted and brainwashed on live pay-per-view by an angry death cult and thus became Viscera.

Vince McMahon, on commentary at the time, expressed his shock over one of his workers getting kidnapped and tortured by saying, "Ho ho! I don't think Mabel will ever be the same!".
