Minidust posted:Ha, one of my friends was working that NYWC show and he texted me when I was watching SummerSlam to ask if Bryan had showed up. I wonder if Whipwreck explained the situation to his workers or if it was just an unspoken obvious thing that everyone figured. Well they also spoiled that Bryan would be showing up on WWE.com during the event.

This isn't really an answer to your question but here's another one: why don't they just give the Sin Cara gimmick to Hunico? He had better matches under the mask then the other guy did, anyway.

The Championship Scramble was basically just a retread of that Hardcore Invitational they had at whatever Wrestlemania with the Hollys and it was loving dumb as rocks because it should've been near-impossible for anyone to retain their belt. I think it was positioned between HiaC and ladder match title defenses where the people were like oh wow dangerous match they've gotta go all-out for that belt WACKY FREE-FOR-ALL BEAT-THE-CLOCK JOBBERFEST oh jeez somebody could get hurt that belt sure means a lot. In fact, I think the ladder match was HHH vs. Hardy and the angle was HHH didn't want to wrestle in Hardy's signature match because it was an unfair disadvantage when he had just defended his belt against four people at once and anyone could've conspired to lie down for someone else and get pinned because the current champ didn't have to be involved in the pinfall. As a method for crowning a new champ after that bullshit Punk angle, fine. As a match for the 24/7 hardcore title, perfect.

The most famous occurrence was probably Mike Sanders getting fired because he didn't go shake Triple H's hand at the airport, supposedly because Triple H was injured and Sanders didn't see him sitting down.

Sprint posted:Also, having watched Royal Rumble 2003 (The Night of the Belly-to-Belly), I had another question - has there ever been a Rumble where all of the contestants had been eliminated before the next person came out? I don't think there's a point where everyone is eliminated but the 2011 Royal Rumble is, I think, the best booked Rumble of the last ~15 years in that it goes through a number of phases where certain factions rule the ring and team up to eliminate people as soon as they enter. Even the Cena/Hornswoggle team is effective comedy.

Halloween Jack posted:This was asked in the picture thread. I'm currently in the process of making a spreadsheet of every notable deceased wrestler I can find with their birth year, death year, age, and cause of death. It currently stands at 167 corpses and will go on until I run out of notable wrestlers or get sick of the whole idea. Hey if you're not planning on using this for anything else a friend of mine is a statistician guy and would be interested in running the numbers.

I don't know that Lawrence Taylor really counts as much as the others since football players doing wrestling is about as old as football. Tyson and Mayweather are both boxers so a shoot fighter doing a worked fight isn't all that unusual either, except the magnitude of their profile I guess. It's probably Maria Menounos. Rodman and Malone is definitely the biggest business wise except Tyson, I'd guess? But he asked WWE.

If you watch the Hart/HBK Greatest Rivalries DVD (which you should you dumb idiot), Hart sort of slips in something about Neidhart possibly breaking the rope on purpose but him having nothing to do with it. Which is a pretty devious move to ruin a match and keep your spot, if true.

Cardboard Box posted:that's not how it works. WWE or the publisher can't say "you are not allowed to review our games." they may not send them free review copies but that's it, they can't stop them from covering it. and I highly doubt WWE pays off gaming publications, considering their review scores. yeah but unless you get the game prior to release so you can put out a review on or before street date then you may as well not review it at all for the amount of revenue you'll get out of your work and expenses

The second one is making GBS threads on Twilight, here. So.

Professor Funk posted:This is the one where Rikishi get's back body dropped off of the cell into a dump truck right? That match owned. He took a straight flatback bump. It looks really dumb. The sawdust even flies up around him when he lands so the people in the cheap seats can see how it was gimmicked. Maybe the most overbooked match ever with Vince driving a truck into the arena in the middle of it and then Commissioner Foley doing a run-in.

I just checked out the Wiki. It was taped in the Impact Zone and had Sable as the heel president. Amazing. The one talent that jumps out as me as a weird roster member is Josh Matthews. Also at the end of this match Hogan cuts a promo and just talks about how gassed and blown up he is. With those terms.

I presume Japanese fans (rightly) presume that the NJPW product is better than the WWE's and the work seems more "legit", but being that the WWE is undoubtedly larger and older, do they see the WWE or IWGP title as the more prestigious belt? I mean Kojima even seemed to have some respect for the NWA title though of course NJPW has more history with the southern promotions.
