So is Beth Phoenix actually pregnant or not because I have no idea anymore.

On top of that, if something crazy happened, like Batista died of a drug OD, and it came out that they hid a Wellness Violation, Vince would be skewered more than he ever had been in the past. It really isn't worth it for them to hide a violation.

It's true. That's why they just don't bother testing Triple H, Batista and Cena.

Someone posted before that residents of Connecticut are not allowed by law to be drug tested for a job or something, I don't know if thats true or why if it is true, other people wouldn't declare residency in that state or what, but someone said that once.

It is false. I live in Connecticut and I've been drug tested a bunch of times.

I love this story because Steiner thinks it makes him sound like a loving genius and a hero when what it essentially says is,"Yeah I was cheating like gently caress and practically breathing steroids with every breath and sleeping in a big pool of liquid steroids and having sex with steroids but I found a way to get away with being a big loving cheating gently caress!"

Well, it was at the very least an effective way of illustrating a double standard.

Although was WWE even doing drug tests in 03-04? Cause that was pre-wellness.

That angle was awesome because whenever Earl shoved Triple H back he had a look in his eyes that said "I HAVE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THIS"

Not necessarily because it was Triple H but because kayfabewise referees are a very abused people.

Was Papa Shango really recast as the Godfather?

Not immediately. He was Papa Shango, then he went away for a while and came back as Kama the Supreme Fighting Machine, joined the Nation of Domination and then at some point after that they started calling him the Godfather and he gradually became a pimp. How one gradually becomes a pimp I have no idea but there we are.

I may have left some stuff out but whatever.

OK here's something I've been thinking about, and this might actually deserve its own thread, but whatever. What wrestlers who aren't in the Hall of Fame already should be, and who would you pick to induct them?

I think Ted DiBiase is the biggest one right now. And his son, of course, should induct.

Yeah, he, Owen, and Savage are the big ones for me. Owen would be a tough one because Bret probably wouldn't show up and Martha DEFINITELY wouldn't show up so I don't know who would induct or who would accept on his behalf, but if I had to pick I would say get the Hart Dynasty to do both.

Savage won't happen for a good long time, if ever, but if it does happen I think he should be inducted by either Ricky Steamboat or Ric Flair.

Why wouldn't Bret show up? Bret showed up for his own induction.

I dunno, I always got the impression that it took a lot to get Bret to show up for his induction, and more to the point I think that Owen's death is still one of the big sore spots in Bret's relationship with Vince McMahon.

I just realized that Arn Anderson isn't in the Hall of Fame and although he's not at the top of my list, he should definitely be in there soon. And if he's not inducted by Flair then gently caress everything.

I am pretty sure that Bret has said that he would show up if Owen and/or Stu got inducted. Him and Vince actually have a fine relationship these days, I dont think either would mind working together if things lined up

Actually, come to think of it I seem to remember him saying something like that too, so nevermind. I dunno I guess ever since reading his book my policy has been "when in doubt, always assume that Bret Hart is batshit insane"

Plus supposedly he said he wouldn't show up for his own induction if Shawn Michaels was gonna be there or something.

Shawn had hoped to get a chance to talk to Bret to apologize and hopefully clear the air even a little bit between them. Bret said if he saw Shawn at all that weekend, he'd skip the induction, and if he saw Shawn during the induction he'd walk off the stage. Shawn told Vince that if that was the case, he was fine just leaving the room during the induction before Bret's.

Plus, and this is kinda hosed up but, Brody's story kinda makes the business look sleazy.

Look I'm a progressive guy but "got stabbed in Puerto Rico" probably doesn't send the message Vince wants to send.

And as far as nostalgia goes, I think there really may be one dream match left that hasn't happened in 20 years: Steamboat vs Flair.

I don't know that you can call it a dream match when the two guys have wrestled each other roughly a thousand times over the course of their careers.

I mean, don't get me wrong if a Steamboat/Flair match happened tomorrow it would still be pretty good but I feel like it would just make people go "wow these guys sure did get old."

ColeM posted:

That's what I hear, but what was the storyline? Details, please?

Basically, Triple H was feuding with Kane and so he (HHH) came out and told everyone that years ago Kane was at a party, drank too much, drove a girl home and ended up getting into a car accident and killing the girl. If memory serves Kane admitted that this part was true. But then Triple H went on to say that Kane had sex with the girl's dead body even providing footage of a dramatic re-enactment wherein Triple H, dressed as Kane, climbs into a coffin and has sex with a mannequin dressed as a cheerleader. The coup de grace comes when Triple H pulls a handful of spaghetti out of the coffin and says "Oh my God, I really did it! I screwed your brains out!"

The angle lasted all of about two weeks before they dropped it but it's still one of the most memorably awful WWE stories ever, especially when you realize that, according to Kane's entire backstory up to this point he had been institutionalized since childhood.

OK this is kind of a weird one but here goes:

Why is it that when RVD does a frog splash he grabs his stomach and rolls around in pain? Is he just trying to make the move look dangerous, or does it legitimately hurt him so badly that he can't help it? And if so, what is he doing differently from Eddie and Chavo who just do the frog splash and stay on top of the guy for the pin?

It's a really inane question but it's something I was thinking about today.

Warrior/Hogan was a technical miracle considering the ability of the two men involved. But yes, none of that matters because of the SPECTACLE BROTHER.

Also, Hogan kicks out right after the three count, presumably because he didn't want to put Warrior over TOO much.

Wasn't he pretty over in WCW without the mask? He was always going to have a mask with his lucha heritage, so it's a bit pointless to ask if he never had the mask.

I don't remember him being over at all once he took the mask off but I could be wrong because at that point no one in WCW was over.
