nationalista posted:How much booking goes into the Royal Rumble match? Obviously the winner and I'm assuming who's the final participants, and there's usually a number of big elimination spots; but is the order of eliminations and who eliminates who all fully planned out? From one of Paul Londons shoots I get the impression that "X eliminates Y" are sandwhiched around the major spots and major eliminations. In some of the rumbles you completly miss someone getting eliminated. If it was highly planned out the camera would be right there first time. But thats just my 2 cents.

Ktik posted:I'd like to see a wrestler afraid of germs, or just an OCD wrestler in general. Like he's a face but refuses to high five the fans on the way down to the ring, he wrestles in a full body suit to avoid getting sweat on him, he uses Purell after locking up with someone. When he goes up to the turn buckle to hit his ten punches, if he can't hit exactly ten he freaks out and it throws him off for the rest of the match. When he goes up to hit a top rope elbow or something, but he won't jump because the guy isn't exactly in the center of the ring. He'd be a comedy jobber, of course. I love this so much. Hitting his finisher an even number of times, spraying hand sanitizer in opponents eyes etc...

Do wrestlers actualy have to pay for their own gear? In the example of a gimmick do they not? For example Foley and the Mankind deal. Or with Batista's debut he was told to bring a suit which they promptly cut the sleeves off.

Beer_Suitcase posted:Back in my wrasslin days we had a gal that would make gear in exchange for drugs, or sex or sometimes even money. This is the thing. I know that they have their own seamstress or whatever but are they told "you need new gear go see her"? I knew the whole 'if it's part of your gimmick it's covered' I've heard Matt used to make gear for him and Jeff and that Shannon Moore's wife was some sort of tailor or something. Slightly related Mike Awesome never did get those new tights he asked for that time.

Minidust posted:Question about an old angle that I remember vaguely: On the Raw where Mick Foley won the title ("that'll put butts in seats"), there was a brief segment where Shawn Michaels was found unconscious in the back. The implication seemed to be that dX (face faction at the time) had sold him out, but the focus of the show quickly shifted to the Rock/Mankind title match, and later Austin's return. Was that meant to foreshadow some kind of heel turn for dX, or perhaps an earlier return to the ring for HBK that didn't pan out? I guess the most likely answer is that it was a Russo red herring, but I was curious. Do you mean the time he was found face down on a windscreen all smashed up? Or are they two seperate attacks?

Web Jew.0 posted:JBL lost the title to Cena. Rey won the next year from Angle (by pinning Orton). Heyman punished The APA by making them have a match and the loser was fired. A few days later Ron Simmons was fired for real. He cut a promo somewhere during all this stating how he was all American. I seem to remember him slowly added more texas back into his ring attire before dropping tights altogether and wearing trunks.

Maxwell Lord posted:This is tangential, but why is there a shot of a man whacking a blue furry creature with a broom? The announcers imply that that's Madusa, but in none of the other footage is she a neon yeti so I'm confused. She always had ridiculous fur coats that quite often were red, white and blue. But in that video it does look like he's hitting a muppet or something.

El Duke posted:When Vince was coming up in the wrestling business, he was always Vince McMahon, Jr., and most of the boys would refer to him as just "Junior." (He's not actually a Junior, him and his father don't share the same middle name.) It was mainly used the differentiate Vince the Younger and Vince the Elder, but there was also some light ribbing involved, and Vince grew to resent it. As Vince gained more power and screwed over more people, Junior became the go to insult-shoot-name for Vince, and you'll see a lot of the older guys who have something against him using it to refer to him in interviews. So, because of these personal hangups, he's always found the name "Jr." to designate someone lesser than their father or original namesake, so he tends to avoid using it with wrestlers, even when it makes sense and would clear up the confusion of having two guys show up with the same name. To add; it's old fashioned and stupid to name your son the same name as yourself.

It was around this time where he knocked Steph out backstage by throwing a bin at her. He showed no remorse for it and turned heel and feuded with Test for a short while before moving onto The Rock and cost him a handfull of matches. It gave us the sliding Peoples Elbow and a Rock Bottom onto dog poop.

There's two boxsets out detailing his matches but as far as I am aware they haven't produced an actual talking head style documentary. I would imagine that as soon as he returns to WWE that they would produce one whilst he's still alive one could argue that he is already dead being in TNA.

It's all uppercuts, wristlocks and that 'lady in the lake' move. It's more of a technical style with less flash I believe. Very reversal heavy.

This also occurred before WWF and ECW had an agreement. There are not a lot of clips of this gimmick, I think Bourne wound up having to leave ECW because he drug problems got in the way there too. Jeez like CombineThresher must have been quite the problem! Thanks for this. I just started searching Youtube for some examples. Cheers.
