Who could have known Talk To Transformer does pitch-perfect mythical prose

edit: let me fix this bad page snype with some answers to a burning question presented in the Pro Wrestling Questions thread

quote:

What is the perfect pro wrestling match?

The wrestling fans of the world are going to debate this for the next decade, but I tend to think that what makes a good match depends on the pro wrestling fan.

Any form of entertainment can be better if it is enjoyed and that same concept applies to pro wrestling. The fan will always look for a product they know they will enjoy. It is not a be-all end-all when it comes to the entertainment, but it is a great start.

So, let’s put it all together, a match must appeal to the pro wrestling fan.

I mostly got only extremely sensible stuff, as surprising as that might be. However,

quote:

What is the perfect pro wrestling match?

I think all the matches that are done in WWE or in the WWE are very good matches. WWE has been doing it for a long time so I think that's what is important. However, if you have the perfect match then it doesn't make any sense. Perfect is not realistic.

To conclude, would you say WWE is ahead of everyone in developing new talents or are the other promotions where talents should be developed.

I would say everybody is developing talents but WWE are doing it better than everybody else.

Big Boss Man laughed, turned around and waved at a limo in the front of the shopping center. "What's going on here? 'Cause these 'special' guys are sitting here snoring away while a party was in full swing back at the estate!"

Paul Wight opened his eyes wide and exclaimed "THE gently caress ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"

Halloween (WCW former Ciclope) beat Super Parka in a hair vs. hair match. The deal is, both of these guys are masked men. In the early days of WCW, if you were a wrestler and you went by an unmasked man, they'd give you a stipulation of having to wrestle a guy under a mask with an unmasked man who's a known worker. I think Super Parka was one of those. He wasn't using his face then. And Halloween said no way was Super Parka going to be able to do that. Super Parka just went up there and started beating on the mask, not allowing Halloween to even get in the ring. [Super Parka] was able to bust the mask apart and I went for a heat-seeking missile. You can't stop the [King Kong Bundy] Machine with a [two-hand handshake].

quote:

WCW had Bischoff attempt to do a segment called NWO Late Night, with a Tonight show type set with a band. They also had Lanny Poffo create a wrestling character called The Black Prince for the show. To set up the segment, Kevin Sullivan captured John Tenta, John Kronus, and Killer Khan in an unrelated event in the Caribbean and brought them back to WCW. At The Great American Bash Bash, Bischoff introduced the NWO to WCW television with an angle where he made the four Horsemen face the NWO in a 4-on-4 Survivor Series-type match. Bischoff then announced a 4-on-4 Traditional Elimination match between Team Bischoff (Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman) and Team Hogan (Randy Savage, Curt Hennig, Lex Luger, and Sting) for the WWF Championship at SummerSlam.

Just before the match, Bischoff's men failed to regain the WWF Championship from Savage, who retained after Nash shoved Savage off the top rope onto Hall, Waltman, and Nash, giving him the pin.

At SummerSlam, The Rock defeated HBK to retain the WWF Championship and win the 1993 King of the Ring tournament.

Gotta say the idea of Nash shoving Savage off the top rope onto himself and two others is an impressive feat of agility I'm not sure he could pull off :v:

quote:

WHAT KIND OF BLACK GOO WAS LEAKING INTO ALEXA BLISS' EYES?

It's safe to say that no one from NXT will miss Emma with all the crap that happened to her during her career there. After an awesome debut, Miss Bliss was put back into her Emma persona with a stupid accent and a stupid gimmick. Instead of letting her do something different or try to make her own character, the WWE kept her as a comedy character.

The story here was that Miss Bliss was a spy for the WWE, spying on the women's division and telling the WWE what they were doing wrong. They even had a "mole" in the process, but it was just another wrestler pretending to be a mole. After being beaten by Bayley, though, Emma decided she was going to leave. She was then seen with a black eye, which is the same black eye she had at NXT Takeover: Rival.

The WWE tried to keep the black eye a secret and even made a joke about it with her saying "I can't see a thing" and then rolling her eyes. That would be funny if it was a joke, but that is not the case. It was a serious injury that happened at a live event when she got kicked in the eye. It wasn't even an issue until the WWE decided to bring it up.

OK, maybe it's still pretty funny.
