how many matches has Shane won since he returned? I'm pretty sure he lost all of his singles matches right? not that it helps, just asking a tangential question. he's won two tag matches with miz I think, Bryans return match, and technically the 2016 survivor series match despite getting concussed out his rear end and eliminated. lost to taker, aj, and ko iirc, and the last two survivor series matches of course.

Is it needless to say Gable and Rude are going over and burying the Revival in their next title defense? when will that be, Elimination Chamber or next week at Raw?

I thought Tatanka's second run was a result of him showing up as a nostalgia act in the Rumble, getting a bigger than anticipated pop, and not looking half-dead in the ring. Sort of how Curt Hennig got a second run.

Wasn't it because he had a match with Angle and they were like "He can still go! Hire him!", instead of realizing her was in there with Angle, so of course he looked good.

Could someone give a quick rundown on Rouseys current state in WWE? Last I saw she was all smiles, but there's a lotta posts floating around about her being pissed/leaving/going part time, and stuff. What's the deal?

What's the deal? shes probably finishing her full time deal around mania or a little bit after, will probably be a featured wrestler throughout the remainder of her contract in a brock lesnar/undertaker capacity, only being used here and there for bigger shows.

I know plenty of folks knew wrestling was worked way early on but was there any big moment before Vince with the athletic commissions, before Montreal, and before the curtain call where people within the industry were like "welp. Cats out of the bag. Nice business we had going."

Near the end of the 19th century the working became focused on making it a more spectator friendly event.

Was watching (I think) the latest Botchamania on DailyMotion - is there a reason why if you just search for Botchamania on there there's big gaps in the episode numbers? Is it just DailyMotion being poo poo or are eps being taken down even there?

Gaz-L posted:Dana might be a dark horse in that race. Good point. I think I remember seeing her squashed by Nia and being annoyed because it made no sense. I know it's all fake and who could REALLY win means next to nothing, but people will always like displays of raw strength so making somebody underperform is just stupid. Does anybody remember Asya in WCW? In real life she could bench almost 300 lbs and I remember even the dead crowd at Mayhem gave her a round of applause for holding Eddie up in a hanging vertical suplex for like six seconds.

I mean dana brooke is billed at 5'3 120 lbs. She's not exactly a monster. It makes no sense that nia and tamina don't obliterate everyone outside of a few fringe cases. If we're looking for mark henry-like raw power, DB ain't it. Mark Henry is like the definition of "brick shithouse"

Absolute nobodies in front of dead crowds can get pops this way which is why I mentioned Asya. There is also Johnny The Bull gorilla pressing Rikishi, the most memorable thing he ever did in WWE. You gain nothing by making your wrestlers wrestle worse. If they can do cool things let them do cool things. NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Feb 7, 2019 |
