Recently read about half of this wiki (I guess?) style page that listed the complete history of TNAs gently caress ups. Definitely found the link somewhere in psp, just can't remember the thread. Anyway I really want to read the rest but can't find it anywhere. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Spent an afternoon trying to come up with something great, settled for 'Debra's Duo'. Our 11-year-old brains were so loving sure that was going to be it. Don't even remember the 'Canadian Country' name though, possibly out of bitterness.

Maybe this is a stupid question and maybe this has been discussed before, but if my boy D-Bry never signed with WWE he'd probably be paralyzed/dead by now, right? Did Vince McMahon save Daniel Bryan's life?

Wheat Loaf posted:Looking back at the history of professional wrestling, are there many pro wrestlers who you could put in a ring with, for example, a judo guy and they'd be able to go all Ad Santel on them and win legitimately? I guess what I'm curious about is which pro wrestlers are historically (and currently) considered to be the best legitimate fighters; I've been reading a bit about the early days of pro wrestling recently and was struck by how a big reason why the Gold Dust Trio were able to establish their stranglehold on the business in its early days was because Ed Lewis was legitimately skilled enough that he could beat anyone who wouldn't follow the script.

Minidust posted:I've always loved when people with a very peripheral knowledge of wrestling have some point that they INSIST on. A few big ones from my own time in high school were: Never heard of the blood capsules stiched into their forehead, did hear a lot about a bottle of ketchup hidden under the ring though, because that makes sense. My favourite part of this mentality is when they're just so convinced that they're right. And naturally because you watch wrestling, which everyone knows is obviously fake, you don't know what you're talking about. Only semi-related, but do not under any circumstances stances try to explain poo poo like the Starrcade '97 main event, or even Montreal to this type of person. You will look stupid.

How do you pronounce Foochs? Does it rhyme with books? Or is it like pooch, like a dog, but then with a 's' on the end? Or something else entirely? I hope it's the books one. Because then I really want to hear Noam Dar say the beautiful SamuraiFoooooooochs.

Question: Can you think of any major stars (ie: ppv main events, at least a run or two with a world title) that didn't initially get over as a heel? I've got Sting and I guess Steamboat (though even he doesn't really fit my criteria of major star). Anyone else?

Andre works. I considered Bret, but the Hart Foundation were always heels were they not? Brets early singles career is one I'm (as a Calgarian) sadly unfamiliar with, did it start as a face run? He was definitely face when he was in Stampede, but would that have been known to the general audience?

Thauros posted:an obvious one I don't think anyone has mentioned with is Goldberg. One more I just thought of, Ultimate mother loving Warrior. Did he ever work heel? Bad Wolf posted:They were heels for a good long while, but they turned face by turning on their manager, Jimmy Hart. (Or he turned on them, I'm not quite sure) There was a storyline where they were still officially under contract with him, so he'd show up at their matches and give the heel team and manager tips on how to beat them.

Davros1 posted:Warrior and Sting were both heels early in their careers. As in the Blade Runners? Interesting, I always just assumed they were face. Davros1 posted:Oh, it's better than that. The storyline also revealed that Jimmy still controlled a portion of their contracts, so when Hart and Neidhart would win a match, Jimmy would give their winnings to The Fabulous Rougeaus. I loving love this so much. They should bring managers back just to redo this storyline. Somehow I'm not sure if it would work with Brock and Heyman.

Venomous posted:Not sure if this deserves a thread or not, but whatever. What matches are the best examples of pure in-ring storytelling? Like, they don't have to be flashy or anything, just matches with good self-contained stories and that. Great question. For me the easy answers would be both Michaels/Taker matches at Wrestlemania 25/26, as well as Austin/Rock from mania 17. Seeing Stone Cold pull out all the stops and hit drat near every signature move from his entire career just to beat the most important rival he's ever faced at the biggest show of the era, and the ultimate reveal that he made a deal with the devil to regain his cherished title, that was some good poo poo.

It's been mentioned but I'm gonna have to second the Daniel Bryan Monster video. Seriously, watch this poo poo again: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rsX1ATcyQxU They set the story up perfectly and really make you empathize with Bryan's underdog character and the huge uphill battle he's facing. It's far and away my favourite video package they've ever produced.

RacistGuidingLight posted:That whole twenty minute stretch that went from Se7en bothering skivone through a spooky window followed by an elaborate funeral Lex Luger threw for himself, followed by Lex Luger flexing at the crowd for several minutes, followed by Hulk Hogan telling a doctor to "Cut the drat pants off, man!" before being assaulted by Sting. Wtf that sounds amazing, do you know what show this was on?

My favourite part is Stings out of nowhere attack at the end and Tony's complete indifference afterward. And how the doctor was really just annoyed by the assault more than anything, like it's a real loving inconvenience for him getting pushed over because Hulk just had his leg smashed out of his leg. Also curious to see the toy commercial with Goldberg, that looks special.
