I don't think they had any concrete plans for him to be champion during his second run, either. I think the plan after the LT match was for him to do a face turn and be a top guy, but not the champion. And then team up with LT in a high profile tag match at the next Wrestlemania. He blames the Kliq for derailing those plans.

Yeah, but CMLL's fans are so unused to young guys getting top spots that the casuals started out booing Dragon Lee at that show. A good chunk of CMLL's audience has been trained to believe that a 21 year old hasn't "earned" the right to be a star. Anyway, AAA is way more chaotic and hosed up behind the scenes. I get exhausted just thinking about typing up a post about all their bullshit.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Every single Survivor Series and War Games team Hulk has ever been a part of has been called the Hulkamaniacs, regardless of what other main eventers were members. Today on Observer Radio, Dave talked about Bob Sweetan since he died a couple of weeks ago. He says his name and immediately says, "what a miserable human being." Bob was a piece of poo poo to everybody his whole life, and was arrested, convicted and later deported for molesting his daughter when she was 7. https://records.txdps.state.tx.us/SexOffender/PublicSite/Application/Search/Individual.aspx?IND_IDN=6274430

Thauros posted:I could've sworn I heard him discuss it in the Q&A segment at the end of a WOR a few years ago but I may be mistaken. He's definitely talked about it within the last year, but I don't think he said anything about Hogan being in line for a title run in Japan. I might be wrong. I think I remember Dave saying that he talked to Vince, and Hogan had convinced him that his words were being misconstrued and taken out of context and Dave told Vince that the interview was on tape, and he had it.

Stealth Tiger posted:Um Shawn Michaels trained Bryan Danielson, which might be pertinent to this conversation. The only unique thing about that situation was that 99 percent of big name trainers gently caress off to do pills and never show up to class and let someone else do all the actual training while they take the profit. Rudy Boy Gonzalez actually trained Danielson. Shawn Michaels hosed off to do pills and never show up to class.

CityMidnightJunky posted:Might not be the place to ask, but where is the best place to get quality lucha masks within the UK? Preferably with a large selection of types and colours? The best quality masks still come from Mexico and Japan and all the mask collectors I know from the US and UK order everything online. Are you looking for pro grade or semi pro? You can get decent quality masks from http://www.mtzwear.com/eng/index.php, http://www.highspots.com/c/Wrestling-Masks.html, https://mrmaskman.com, or http://stores.ebay.com/rafael0666/. Semi pro masks cost about $25- $30, and pro grade start at around $100. Basically pro grade masks use better quality materials, are reinforced, and usually have a lining. If you want the best quality pro grade masks from the same mask makers that luchadores use, it gets more complicated and a little (to a whole lot) more expensive.

RealFoxy posted:MTZWear took my money for a mask then never delivered it so be weary about them Good to know. Unfortunately for me I'm a full on mask nerd now, so I just get pro grade and ring worn masks from a network of collectors, luchadores, mask makers, and Japanese stores. The best guarantee for getting a good mask is to buy one right off a luchador's head. Big Bidness fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Sep 5, 2017 |

Didn't Lex Luger have a rep for being lovely in the ring for the first 5 years or so of his career? And then he had a really great run in '90 and '91.

Impact is better than Raw and Smackdown. I watch CMLL, NXT, MLW and 205 Live on a weekly basis and it’s usually in the mix for best show of the week. CMLL is the king since LA Park came back. Anyway, the lucha guys are always fun, and guys like Brian Cage, Eddie Edwards, and Eddie Kingston have been given storylines and they’re making the most of it. If I gave a poo poo about Sami Calihan and Eli Drake, I’d enjoy it even more.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Is this book any good? I'm halfway through it, and so far I'd say it's good but kind of dry. Considering the giant personalities involved, it's a bit of a disappointment in that regard. Still, I'll take a little dryness over the weird tonal shifts and random purple prose of that new NITRO book.

I went to Cleveland All Pro show in like 2005 that depressed me enough to quit watching wrestling for almost a year. There were some little kids, maybe 8 or 9 years old screaming "gently caress you human being" at the heels while their parents looked on and laughed. One of the kids had a sign that said "faggit" I had dragged one of my friends to show who barely watched wrestling and he just looked at me and said, "These are your people, huh?"

The same thing happened to Blue Meanie. Right after he signed with WWE an airline upgraded his seat to first class for free. A bunch of people including JBL got pissed and he was told he should have given his seat to someone like the Undertaker.

My first show was the Clash of Champions 5 which was a terrible, terrible show. But at least I get to say I saw Tenryu live. Even though it was a bad match and I had no idea who he was at the time. I went to some ok WWF house shows after that, but the next time the NWA/WCW came anywhere near me, I went with my friend and his dad and we drove more than 90 minutes and ended up with a Flair vs. El Gigante main event. I stopped going to non-WWF events after that until the Nitro and Thunder era.

Nystral posted:This was years ago but there were ads online for a “behind the scenes, raw uncensored look at the lives of professional wrestlers” that was filmed by one of the wrestlers using a video camera so maybe late 90s? But basically it was a no-name WWF guy who was filming constantly while riding with other wrestlers and stuff?? It was video cam footage Maxx Payne/Man Mountain Rock shot when he was with the WWF. He would get sued into oblivion of he ever put it out.

I love dumb indie spotfests, but those kids were doing Canadian Destroyers and tombstones like they were arm drags. I don't think either of them sold a single move the whole match. Jonathan Wolf barely changed facial expressions, it was kinda creepy. I miss Magnum CK.

bartok posted:Is there a reason why WWE doesn't treat the KSA events like house shows and just not air them on their network or promote them on air? They're not being paid hundreds of millions of dollars to put on wrestling shows. The money is for them to show propaganda in the US for Mohammad bin Salman and Vision 2030. And just to add to that, WWE probably wouldn't be facing as much criticism and anger if they were just holding wrestling shows there. People wouldn't be happy, but it would be a very different situation from accepting money from the government to be part of their propaganda that is being used to cover up literal genocide.

TheCool69 posted:The talk about Japanese traditions and Young Lions and being humble brought this question to mind. In the 80/90s why were foreign guys like Vader, Hansen, Dynamite, Norton, Andre etc so popular? Was it the "foreign heel/monster" factor or was the crowd bored by their own grapplers? I mean reading stories about their experiences it was like they were gods. They could stiff/nearly kill their opponents, got paid very good, got rats brought to the hotel room every night. The foreign heel was always big in Japan. You can imagine why a Japanese (or secretly Korean) hero feuding with and overcoming an American villain in post-war Japan would capture the fans' imaginations. Also most people think about WWF vs WCW as the big wrestling war, but Japanese companies were constantly at war with each other in the 70s- 90s. Just think about the fact that Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki were students of Rikidozan at the same time, worked as a tag team, became the top two stars in Japan, and both eventually went off to form rival promotions. The gaijin were a big part of the "war". If you could steal Hansen or Brody from the other guy, it was a big shot fired.

Edge & Christian posted:LAX was originally a whole stable led by Konnan that eventually sort of pared down to a tag team of Homicide and Hernandez with Konnan and others as managers/valets. As insane as all that was, everyone really made it work. And Eddie Kingston did such a good job selling it I'm really surprised Impact didn't keep him on. He's had a pretty great in ring run the last few years, too.
