Hey scoopman, how did Hulk Hogan manage to beat Paul Wight aka The Giant aka the Big Show, who was Andre the Giant's son, in a fight when Hogan's punches were so weak and Paul Wight was so much stronger than him?

davidbix posted:The case was so strong that at least one wrestler (Rick Reeves) who had basically no contact with WCW got the same massive settlement as everyone else. Who is Rick Reeves even? When you google him all that comes up is the lawsuit and he's not on cagematch or anything else that I can find.

I'm a little late, but yeah, if you don't understand what Heyman saw in Shane Douglas, go watch old ECW, especially from summer 94 They pretty much put an entire shift in the company's image, and a huge shift at that, on the back of one worker giving one promo, and Shane Douglas managed to pull it off That's not exactly nothing e: like, imagine you're watching ECW on TV at the time, or going through it in order now not really knowing what you're getting, and then after a whole bunch of episodes of kinda-generic 90s indie stuff, you get this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kpEjrKqf3s

Prime Shane Douglas is good to great in a vacuum. I could easily see him as being a solid upper mid carder in like 90s WWF if used correctly. IMO, his biggest issue was his own lack of self awareness about his drawing ability and charisma. He saw himself as a Ric Flair when he's really like a poor man's HHH. If he stopped being so full of himself and more or less "stayed in his lane" i think his current reputation would be much better. But like many of the ECW originals, they've been clinging on to that mid 90s glory and gassing themselves up on that brush with mainstream relevance. He was the 90s version of an actual B+ player who's deluded himself into thinking he's an A+.

davidbix posted:I don't remember this...do you remember which doc this was in so I could pull it up?  It's from this case text https://casetext.com/brief/reeves-v-world-championship-et-al_response It says that he wrestled in Mid South Wrestling in the 90s and was also a champion for Boulware Wrestling Association. He apparently showed up for 4 years worth of tapings, and was never used. Also it appears that Terry Taylor and Jody Hamilton both basically told him "We've already got enough of your kind". So I think it's a different Rick Reeves.

lol 4 years of catering, that's the good life. I bet like 2 years into it, he probably stopped showing up altogether and no one noticed

Hirez posted:lol 4 years of catering, that's the good life. He was never under contract, so he wasn't paid for any of it. But yea, I have my doubts that he kept showing up for 4 years worth of tapings. I feel like he would have been thrown out at some point. I don't think Ole was in charge for that long, so you've got to wonder how he even kept getting the okay to show up.

I'm really struggling with the idea of a backstage environment so racist that a black wrestler's opportunities for advancement dry up due to the absence of Ole Anderson.

Just happened to catch this clip on Twitter. https://twitter.com/MickstapeShow/status/1262759896040132608 Babyface Lex Luger, Sting, Dusty Rhodes, so I'm guessing 1988.

DJExile posted:lmao holy poo poo this is great Tracked down what this was: January 1988 wrestlers vs. Charlotte police. They did a few of these. I've seen a photo of Dusty driving to the basket in Atlanta. Lineup included Dusty, Nikita Koloff, Road Warriors, Italian Stallion, Jimmy Garvin, Barry Windham, Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson, New Breed, Tim Horner, Sting, Precious, Jimmy Valiant and Brad Armstrong. Luger's not mentioned, but he might not have been a babyface yet when the event was organized. Looks like the other two on the floor at that time were Italian Stallion and either Koloff or Animal. I need to see more footage of this, especially if it contains Jimmy Valiant. Edit: THERE IS MORE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8JHoywBdHQ&t=415s RC and Moon Pie fucked around with this message at 05:15 on May 29, 2020 |

watching old UFC during this whole situation and i'm reminded of Tank Abbott, who went from "the man Vince Russo wanted to put the title on" to "tagging along with 3 Count" in the span of a few months god WCW was absurd

Rusty Shackelford posted:Shane Douglas in ECW was the best example of Dancing Homer in real life. eeeeeehhhhhh. it's not really the same because nothing about Shane Douglas was really exclusively what the Mutants liked. if he'd ended up somewhere else in his prime, he'd have probably done just as well. he just stuck with ECW through the entire period of time where he was actually good, and only ended up in the "big leagues" when he was starting to fall off. i don't think Douglas is a GOAT candidate, but i think people have a tendency to wildly underrate his peak on the basis of how bad his trough was. dude was solid as hell when he needed to be.

one of my faves Shane Douglas moments was an ECW show where he was commentating the main event from the Arena's Crow's Nest. Match goes to finish and he just throws one of the TV monitors into the audience. With an arm in one of those "your poo poo is real broken" sling
