I can't remember when Hulk Hogan said it, sometime in WCW 1999/2000 I think, but when did he say on tv "This is a shoot, brother!"

Not strictly wrestling-related, but does anyone else remember the first XFL press conference? I have vague memories of Vince McMahon hunched over a podium growling "Wherrre's my foootttballl?"

Writer Cath posted:Which cliches do you guys hate? I loving hate it whenever a wrestler in a match is left in gobsmacked drooling stupidity by the appearance of a woman on the ring apron doing some kind of seductive dance or striptease. Get your loving priorities right, goddammit! I haven't seen it for quite some time in WWE, probably thanks to the PG rating, but I remember seeing it pretty recently in ROH involving Maria or one of Truth's valets.

Two guys who absolutely HATE each other, we're talking foaming at the much hatred, have matches where they actually care about winning or losing. "I HATE YOU SO MUCH I COULD KILL YOU!" *pins them* "There, I feel better now."

[quote="Writer Cath" post=""424235036"] Which cliches do you guys hate? [/quote] The fact that even after over a century, people are still surprised when their hated rival interferes in their matches. If there's a dude who wants to kick your rear end, and you aren't wrestling him, get your buddies to stand at the Gorilla position! If you don't have any buddies, keep an eye on the entrance ramp!

All women characters are petty 16 year old girls, regardless of how old they actually are. I think Layla was already well into her 30s when she was doing the mean-girl gimmick.

I hate "Oh no, someone's entrance music is playing. I will completely forget that I am in the middle of a wrestling match and turn towards the entrance ramp in confusion. It's a good thing I don't have an opponent who would take advantage of my awesome stupidity and roll me up/hit his finisher on me." I swear to god WWE used this almost every RAW in 2012, sometimes twice in a loving show.

What he actually said was when he was inducting his newphew into the nWo and said something like, "What's your name." "Horace." "C'mon, brother. Shoot with this thing." "Horace... HOGAN!" Which is hilarious, because neither of their names are Hogan. Surprisingly enough, this was in 1998 or early 99, LONG before Russo showed up with his own brand of worked shoot bullshit.

This was resolved with Hulk burning a copy of WON. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjR6cgCv6Lg "The Internet's got the scoops!"

There's one spot Orton has done a lot in the past year, and that's when he'll be outside with an opponent and get his back rammed into the apron. I swear, there was a point where that happened every single match. As the inverse, what are your favorite little spots? Personally, I love stuff like the Boo/Yay punch exchanges, the raising the arm three times to see if the guy passed out, and the old Guerrero "hit the mat with chair, toss to opponent, get him DQ'ed" spot.

Quasipox posted:As the inverse, what are your favorite little spots? Bridging out of pins. Also I was looking through this thread and somebody said Rick Rude was a bad worker circa WM 4 a few pages back. That person was wrong. Rude could have great matches with the Steamboats of the world, but he could also get hugely effective matches out of limited guys like Warrior or Sting.
