I'm way more likely to quietly enjoy things and just go "OHHHHHH!" at stuff rather than chant and holler if I'm alone.

But next month I'm moving to a town with a really good local. Is it possible to go to wrestling shows on your own without feeling like the saddest creepo? How uncommon is it? Same, you'll be fine! Even my local D- tier indie is a blast with a few cans of pabst. I've been to maybe five or so wrestling shows alone, and never did I feel out of place. Plus you're guaranteed to have SOMETHING in common to make small talk with, if someone approaches you. Snapchat some dope spots to annoy your non-wrestling friends and have a good time, man, you're not a creepo for seeking out things you enjoy.

Going to All Out by myself and it's going to be loving killer. Cause I can get wrecked on edibles and watch awesome wrestling without worrying about anyone else.

Are you gonna have any family with kids close by? I used to take my brother's kids to wrestling shows before they became surly teenagers and it was a million times more fun with them than going solo. Solo is still fun for what it is, but with kids you can really throw yourself into the silliness of the whole thing, and you avoid the temptation to just get super loaded.

Can somebody recommend me Hollywood Hogan best matches between 96-98? I'm watching Hogan / Nash v Piper / Giant and it's a simple tag match with a volcanic crowd. Did heel Hogan always command this respect??

There's something fun about taking someone who doesn't watch wrestling to an indie show. Breitbart Is Rightbart posted:Can somebody recommend me Hollywood Hogan best matches between 96-98? I'm watching Hogan / Nash v Piper / Giant and it's a simple tag match with a volcanic crowd. Did heel Hogan always command this respect?? Luger vs Hogan from the 100th Monday Nitro special. The crowd goes absolutely ape poo poo for Lex Luger fighting off the NWO and beating Hogan. Shame that Hogan immediately wins the belt back at Hog Wild the weekend before the next Nitro.

A big part of Hollywood Hogan being over was "You have our permission to boo this man" after two years of trying to do Hulkamania in WCW. Also that Bash at the Beach promo was incredible. Easily his best work.

Flair/Hogan from Uncensored 99 is incredibly stupid but kind of goodish. Hogan/Macho Man from Havoc 96 is worth seeing too.

I feel like Hollywood Hogan was Hogan at his worst in the ring, He had the same bad offense he always did, but he got to take the offense for longer because he was heel and had to control the match and the other guy had to sell. This just resulted in cowardly heel Hogan looking stronger in the ring than he ever did as a face to the detriment of everyone he worked with who had to sell for his backrakes.

Hogan/Luger at the 100th Nitro is proof that the most important part of a match is the ending. It's mostly a bad plodding match, but that ending sequence alone makes it one of my favorite matches ever.

That reminds me that I remember really enjoying the War Games match from Fall Brawl 96. Can't tell you if the actual match is good because I haven't seen it in over a decade, but the real Sting coming out and cleaning house only to immediately walk out was a great moment. I also remember the post match beatdown of Randy Savage dragging on for what felt like an eternity.

Hogan had the rare decent match during his mega-heel run, somehow. He entertained me way more as a heel than he ever did during his big run in the 80s. Of course, I was a southerner who watched NWA/WCW during his big run in WWF, so I might be biased.

Anyone ever heard of a guy named Alex Nabiev? He ended up in my orbit through Facebook because I'm not going to not add a terrifying Slavic man whose profile picture is him covered in blood making out with some random girl, and apparently he's some batshit insane Russian deathmatch guy. Needless to say, I'm intrigued as hell by this apparent product of Rusev and Nick Gage doing the Fusion Dance, so I'm pretty curious if he's actually good (or even on anyone's radar). (fair warning, probably don't look this guy up if your gore tolerance isn't high, his facebook gets a little  )e: unrelatedly, the same general social circle introduced me to a Macho Man impersonator who miiiiiiight be officiating my wedding WeedlordGoku69 fucked around with this message at 07:38 on Jul 19, 2019 |

Can someone explain the no compete clause in WWE contracts work in 2019 to me? Is it once we release you, we’ll pay you the downside agreement for 90 days in exchange for you not working for someone else? Or is it even if we’re not paying you, you’re not allowed to work for our “competition” for 90 days? Basically how strictly does the WWE enforce it and are there any high profile challenges to it this decade?

As far as I know, you can forfeit the pay and work immediately but the only person to ever do that has been Colt Cabana because striking while the iron is hot mattered more in the long run than 90 days of pay.

Nystral posted:Can someone explain the no compete clause in WWE contracts work in 2019 to me? I believe it's the latter. They also have the wonderful "freeze" option, which they used against Neville and apparently have been using on Sasha since WrestleMania. Basically, say your contract is up in August 2019, but you were injured for six months back in 2017. You say "Okay, I'm not going to re-sign" so they say "Okay, but you were unavailable to fulfill your obligations for six months, so we're adding that half a year onto your contract, which means you can leave in February 2020. You can sit at home if you'd like" Which is exactly what Neville chose to do.

because non competes are about protecting the company, wrestling NCCs are extremely flimsy and would blow away with the wind if they didn't pay the person to do nothing instead of signing elsewhere

Cavauro posted:because non competes are about protecting the company, wrestling NCCs are extremely flimsy and would blow away with the wind if they didn't pay the person to do nothing instead of signing elsewhere This is also completely true. Especially since they tried to enforce it on Brock and underestimated how stubborn Brock would be about fighting it and WWE settled before the judge could make a summary ruling because they had literally nothing to stand on.

It was in response to my negativity on Hogan and I do just want to chime in to agree, it is a great way to put that. Heel Hogan is still the worst though. He made almost everybody look bad in the ring with him.

for the person that was thinking of going to shows alone, if you can get somewhat drunk or high to take the edge off any anxiety and still feel and actually be safe, and not be too obnoxious to others, it could help you deal with the weirdness. Caveat, only use this strategy if you'll be able to stop drinking/whatever at a point where you can be functional and safe also I have definitely seen people that were at the show by themselves at every wrestling show, concert, etc I have ever been to

It requires you to know Okada and Naito. Naito's going for his Combinacion Cabron spot (dropkick in the corner followed by trip and then swinging dropkick to the face), Okada's catching him in the Alabama slam position, is going to swing the head in so he can do the schwein-esque neckbreaker he does, and Naito's countering THAT into an inverted rana/piledriver-y thing, hence why he's the one going for a pin in the end.
