Dear WWE, I would like a Flippy Four Way match between Gabriel, Kofi, Bourne and Trent. Thanks.

I wish they'd use Trent better. :(

I can't believe Justin Gabriel isn't on TV more, I can't think of a better looking wrestler (particularly one that looks athletic but not like a HGH hoss)... ever. Plus he is totally passable in the ring and works just as if not better than a lot of people in WWE with regular TV spots.

From memory from the time he broke away from Nexus for a while I started to see pre-teen and teenage girls with signs for him. I would have thought this would be particularly valuable since this is a market WWE seems have have had very little success with in recent years.

Maybe he's not good enough on the mic? I really wish they'd push their smaller guys more, it might actually be good for business. Do the WCW thing, get people excited by opening with some Cruiserweights, maybe the first couple matches, then they'll be hot for the bigger guys.

At this point I think the only person in the world who hasn't completely given up on Scott Hall (including Scott himself) is Kevin Nash and even then he's probably already prepared for his death

Scott gave up on himself a long time ago, apparently.

Uh, no not at all. The Tough Enough guys were put through exhausting trials to soften them up for angle and then were put in with Angle with the idea that Angle would humble them. It wasn't supposed to be a work, it was supposed to be real, which is why they worked the guys to the point of exhaustion before hand. Puder just had the ability to fight back.

I sometimes wonder how things would have gone if the ref (Lil Naitch?) hadn't caught on and rang the bell because Puder's shoulder was on the mat. Otherwise, Angle would have eventually tapped, and the WWE would have been in a frenzy.

Angle's stubborn, he'd rather get his arm broken than tap. WWE had to protect him from himself (which TNA has tended to fail at doing, given all his outbursts).

True. What would have happened? Would the WWE have tried to shove it under the rug and fire Puder immediately, or would they have pushed him as 'The Guy Who Snapped Angle's Arm' and let him ride that however far it took him?

Grandpa Pap posted:

Pretty much this. If Puder had forced Angle to tap or broken his arm, that would have instantly spelled the end of his time in WWE. There are very few individuals on the roster that WWE (like most every other wrestling promotion) would allow to get away with going into business for themselves like that, whether it was justified or a misunderstanding or whatever. Puder at that time drat sure wasn't one of 'em.

If they'd have pushed him it would have set the precedent that the best way to get a push was to go out and embarrass (or legit injure) a top star, and I don't think any promotion wants to open up that can of worms.

True. I guess maybe I thought they'd have been willing to take a chance on him as a legitimate threat to ANYONE if that had happened, but that's just dumb wishful thinking on my part. Maybe that would have worked in a shoot-style puro fed. I think he'd have done great in BATTLARTS or some other shooty fed.

If Rikishi is still running that Nu-Wrestling Evolution in Italy I think he's short on money.

They just cancelled two shows in Spain and their big show in England which was co-promoted with IPW:UK resulting in IPW having to try and re-negotiate with Carlito and Chris Masters so they could still be on the show. Kevin Nash was supposed to be there but I guess he had a special thing with Nu-Wrestling because IPW:UK said they couldn't honour his agreement with NWE.

Wasn't Alex Wright running that for a while? I know he's running a wrestling school somewhere though.

Accidents happen in wrestling and that wasn't the only thing that ended his career, working through the concussion and suffering multiple concussions in hardcore matches a week or two later made it impossible for him to ever wrestle again.

I don't think Bret realized anything was wrong with him till he suffered the other concussions.

Actually that translates to "I'm not joking, bitch", as in, "I could kick your rear end for real, bitch." Or, "Shut up, bitch", depending on regional differences, I'm not sure where in Mexico Del Rio's legit from.

Wiki says San Luis Potosi. Don't know how that factors in to his dialect, since I don't speak Spanish or know much about the dialectic variations of Mexico.

I never really understood why that particular "anatomy as pejorative," was considered to be head and shoulders above every other one in the English language. Nobody blanches when someone gets called a cock or an rear end in a top hat.

It's viewed much worse in the States than it is in the rest of the English-speaking world for some reason.

What other promoters? You're telling me a promoter won't put former wwe superstar Big E on a flyer to sell a few extra tickets? Dixie will hire literally any one, and most promoters will hire any bitter dickhead if it means it will make them a few bucks.

I've worked for a few who would, and a few who wouldn't. Not every promoter is going to take a chance on risking someone bashing them later, because that's a potential earnings-killer if word gets out that you're a shitheel and suddenly people you're counting on booking as major draws turn you down as a result. The super-sleazy indie guys won't have a problem, but I've worked for several guys who wouldn't touch a situation like that with a stick because of the potential heat.

Basically, this is a weird industry.
