I used to visit my grandparents over the summer in the 80s and my grandpa would always sit in his recliner and watch the WWF on Saturday mornings. It was always like 2 hours of matches between guys you had never heard of culminating in a match between one WWF superstar and some nobody that'd get curb stomped in 30 seconds flat. I never understood the fascination but I remember thinking it was funny as hell that my grandpa thought it was "real". Every "headline" match in those morning shows went the same: Superstar takes like 3 minutes to make an entrance while some nondescript no-name guy waits in the ring for him. Match starts. No-name guy lands some weak move and the superstar pretends to stagger for a moment. Superstar then beats the everloving hell out of no-name guy. Match over. Superstar gives some hilarious ringside interview promoting whatever pay per-view event they had coming up. My favorite dude was some guy who used to literally chew on/tear up the corner turnbuckle post thingies and yell at people with a sock puppet.

Its one hundred percent true and verifiable that both vince mcmahon and hulk hogan want to have sex with their own daughters ( that's really a fact look at Hogans twitter history and Vince was always trying to do storylines where he married his own daughter)

Not that it's not insanely creepy already, but I always thought that the fact that their daughters look a lot like them adds another layer of cringe. Of course, this layer is like a Post-it note on top of a wedding cake.

Jericho is so disappointing as a Canadian as he’s such a loving chud and gives platforms to really lovely people His lovely rock band played at a super spreader event that eventually had over 250,000 covid cases and he didn’t give a gently caress

Also, fun fact: Butcher from The Butcher & The Blade is the guitarist for Every Time I Die, so Jericho doesn't even have the best band in AEW If Chuckie T learns the xylophone at any point I'd be worried about second place tbh

Dang It Bhabhi! posted:gently caress yea George the Animal Steel used to eat turnbuckles. Fun story about him. In the pre-WWF days when wrestling was all territories and stuff, Steele was a college professor who moonlighted as a wrestler. But he competed just far enough away so the connection wasn't so blatant. Still, he would get the occasional student who would put two and two together and ask him about being George "The Animal" Steele. He would then shut them down with, "Do you really think I'm that ugly?" FullLeatherJacket posted:yeah, jericho is a weird one, if you're a wrestler he's super cool, if you're anyone else he's terrible Pro: beat Goldberg in a fight backstage, bringing some catharsis to the way Goldberg hosed him over in WCW.

Since Covid hit WWE shows are done in what they call the Thunderdome. The audience is giant screens of people at home, and its extremely distracting and disconnected. Any crowd noise is 100% fake and you've got Roman Reigns smashing Kevin Owens against a big screen of a kids face. AEW is just a very small crowd of their co workers and a few locals/friends or family. Its far better.

I never got the chance to think it was real. My dad smartened me up immediately the first time I saw it on television when I was like 5. "What's this, dad?" "It's fake wrestling, son." Thanks, old man.

When my friend first made me watch wrestling, I was "smartened up" because the announcer said "he sent him to the mat" so they don't fall hard.

It’s funny because people in tv and movies seem to love working with wrestlers because they are aware of every camera and understand blocking and where to stand and look, can be very charismatic and they can always use them for physical scenes because they already do physical work.

What is your problem? Never put Hollywood Hogan holding Sting in a headlock on the cover-it's disrespectful to Sting and the WCW. Hogan has never beaten Sting, but Sting has beaten Hogan three times. Plus, I have played against Hogan on the hardest mode of WCW Vs. NWO: World Tour using Sting, and I've never lost. Nintendo and THQ would make more money if Sting was on the cover disrespecting the NWO (New Wuss Odor). If you still can't realize that, then I will just have to put Hogan in a Stinger Splash, Scorpion Death Drop and Scorpion Death Lock myself.

The thing that really pulls off the Steinermath promo is that it's complete lunacy, but by its own internal logic everything makes absolute sense and the numbers add up It's perfect, like a sunset

Go watch I'm From Hollywood https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0173920/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 It's a documentary about Andy Kaufman's "feud" with Jerry Lawler in Memphis. Even if you don't like Kaufman, its incredible to see him get people so riled up over a fantasy. Supreme Allah posted:Its one hundred percent true and verifiable that both vince mcmahon and hulk hogan want to have sex with their own daughters ( that's really a fact look at Hogans twitter history and Vince was always trying to do storylines where he married his own daughter) When Brooke Hogan's album came out, they were on Howard Stern a few times and even they pointed this out, along with the fact that he daughter looks like a younger version of his wife. I think Hogan admitted years later that the stupid TV show they did was just a way to promote Brooke's album that Hulk to financed. His marriage was already in trouble so they squeezed out a season. Linda Hogan started dating her son's best friend shortly after which was strange as they'd known this guy since he was a baby. Oh and don't forget the Nick Hogan got drunk and nearly killed his friend. Hulk defended his kid's actions by saying if the other guy was more into God, he would have not been harmed. The Hogans are basically the life force of Florida in human form.
