projecthalaxy posted:Following WWE Backlash 2005 where Batista defeated Triple H to retain his WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Eric Bischoff made a new tournament to crown a number one contender for the title. This is the Gold Rush Tournament. It was a mystery on who was facing. One wrestler would make their entrance and then find out who they were facing right in that ring. This features one of the best superkicks of all time by Shawn Michaels. It is the one where Shelton Benjamin does a springboard and eats a Sweet Chin Music right to the jaw. It really is something you have to see. The tournament also features Kane vs Christian, Edge vs Jericho, and Triple H vs Chris Benoit. Plus, fallout from backlash where Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels teamed for the very first time against Muhammad Hassan and Daivari! i remember this tournament having pretty decent matches for what raw actually got at the time though the edge finishes immediately sent some people over the edge. i still remember nut bunnies frothing when lita turned on kane and joined with edge

Jawnny doing his JR impression will make me laugh every single time and him as JR breaking out of the Master Lock got me good.

I’m glad I missed the treatment of the French reporter at the time because I wanted to tear my hair out just listening to the recap. Wrestling journalists are the last true marks - getting played like a fiddle all the time and they don’t even know it.

Senerio posted:Happy new Trish and Sarah day for all who celebrate. Just finished. It's a very heavy episode, but it's so nice to hear people so utterly incensed at how badly the wrestling media itself has been crab-bucketing and how horrible they were to the French reporter and how WWE muddles the press box. Laughed (angrily) out loud at Bill Prichard's condescending poo poo to Lucas, as if the guy reporting for loving Wrestlezone has any idea how to be a good journalist. It's elegant how it ties together the news of Laurinaitis's flip and the calls for arbitration, the Gulak situation and how the wrestling media handled it, and how utterly disgusting SRS's stupid cheese board stunt really was in the greater context. I knew of Triple H's dismissive comments but everything surrounding Lucas and how he was isolated and disparaged after is just blood-boiling. Another very good, very in-depth listen. I especially love how they constantly, constantly cite their sources and the people they gather their own intel from in ways that put over others doing similar work. It's excellent. Time to listen to the Gentlemen's Wrestling Podcast they mentioned.

The Sapp cheeseboard thing is the lamest part of the whole saga. Is he really so dumb that he can’t see how that’s a stunt designed precisely for him to post it on social media, or does he know that but can’t resist fishing for a few likes anyway?

I generally had positive feelings about SRS until all this poo poo happened. It's crazy watching these idiots get worked so hard and them not even realizing they are getting played. Or they realise and don't give a poo poo because it helps their bottom line. Which I wouldn't care about if it was just about who put on the best fake fighting show but instead it's about systemic sexual abuse going back decades and involving many of the top names in WWE.
