Unless yes, har har, they whipped Injuns in a racist style.

Alex Riley will be remembered, if he is remembered at all, as a less successful version of Virgil. AJ Lee will be remembered for a bunch of wrestling fans flipping out at her Twitter claiming she enjoyed video games and comic books because she is probably just pandering and girls don't like those things, come on. Also hello, I am a time traveler from four years ago. The Alex Riley thing will be true forever though.

If you wanted to, you could totally trademark James Gang as a wrestling brand/stable. There are live trademarks out there for "James Gang" as the name of a printer in California and a line of barbecue/salsa condiments. I don't see one regarding wrestling, but at the same time trademarks really only forbid you from using those terms on advertisements specifically for wrestling products. No idea if Twitter counts, or if there's even been precedence set for that.

Also isn't that like a bigger body of evidence of bigotry than pretty much anything ever confirmed about Dusty Rhodes? I feel like the only actual stories I've ever seen sourced about what a bad guy Dusty were: a) He insisted in the 1970s he could be a promoter's "black world champion" (which is completely self-serving and self-promotional and quite possibly delusional, but at its base involves Dusty wanting to be the world champion and thinking he can connect with black audiences, which isn't really racist in the way people seem to assume he was) b) The story Colt Cabana told about "a trainer" calling him Kike Cabana which I don't think he ever identified who it was, but I remember a lot of people asserting it was Rhodes. Did that ever get confirmed one way or the other?

Marquis de Pyro posted:People overreact because there are a lot of people in this country that honestly believe no one should be allowed to say things that they don't agree with anymore. Having your feelings hurt by words isn't an "attack" it's just something that happens to every human being. If people point out Dixie Carter is bad at e-mail, the backlash shouldn't be "JESUS CHRIST YOU DON'T THINK SHE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO USE COMPUTERS ANYMORE YOU COMPUTER POLICE. NEXT YOU'LL WANT TO BAN ALL COMPUTERS" If people blame Ryback for injuring people the backlash shouldn't be "OH MY GOD I GUESS YOU WANT TO BAN WRESTLING IS THAT IT? DO YOU NEED SOME SORT OF FEELINGS POLICE TO MAKE SURE NO ONE CAN GET HURT?" But when you suggest that maybe a wrestler or podcaster should choose their words more carefully, it is essentially an attack on free speech.

All joking a salad, Cialis get lots of blood to specific types of muscles (specifically your lungs and penis) but there is a lot of (probably dubious) belief in the bodybuilding/gym world that taking it will just get more blood to your muscles in general and make you look extra vascular. Which is probably why a) Morrison had it b) Ryback wanted to take it to impress Brock Lesnar The mystery is how it's some sort of dubious medical 'science' and Daniel Bryan didn't know about it.

Alex Riley: signed with the company in October 2007. Still not prime time material. Other people who wrestled on Riley's debut show: Heath Slater, Fandango, Brie Bella, Kofi Kingston, Sheamus, Alicia Fox, Tyson Kidd, Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler (also Ezekiel Jackson, Chet the Jett, Hade Vansen, Kizarny, and Justin Gabriel) I would kind of be bitter too if you've been around as long as those people and you've accomplished so little.

Here's Chris Jericho's 'troll' of people who didn't like his match.quote:I am now finished with the internet and I'm finished with this site because I hate what you marks are doing. You've spoiled it for me. Your negativity is ridiculous. You all come off like a bunch of bitter know-it alls, who won't be happy with anything we give you. Nothing is ever good enough and quite frankly I'm over it. You are the same people that are saying that Attack of the Clones is boring, analyzing every little detail, instead of allowing yourselves to be entertained by it's magic.

Yeah, if anything it was probably Jericho acting out on misplaced aggression. For context this was June 2002, and he'd spent the last year: 1) Getting a main event push for the first time in the Benoit/Jericho vs. Austin/HHH feud 2) Having that get derailed by HHH's injury but landing in a feud with the Rock for the WCW title 3) Spinning out of that to be the First Undisputed World Champion/beating Rock & Austin in the same night And then... 4) Being the proxy for HHH's feud against Stephanie and her pet dog, a feud where it was clear that HHH wasn't getting over as a face. 5) Killing himself in a Hell in a Cell match to try to get HHH over as a face champion 6) Getting bumped to a prelim match so Hulk Hogan and Bikertaker could be in the main events, possibly knowing the plan for Summerslam was HHH turning heel after he spent months jobbing to him, Lesnar getting a rocket strapped to him, and Jericho doing ??? Jericho has talked a lot about how tenuous he felt his job at WWE was for years, and how the Kliq didn't really like him, etc. You'd think he'd be over that by 2002 but there's no question he was hurt by how he was handled around WM18 and the idea that he was getting pushed back down the card probably hurt, and then if he read some negative reviews on the Internet (who were the people stanning for him through all of the hassles he went through in WCW/WWF) it probably extra-sucked after what was presumably a bad week at work. Also remember we know now that Jericho drinks a lot so maybe in 2016 he'd have claimed he was 'hacked' after that. Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 05:27 on May 30, 2016 |

let's say, hypothetically that rovert is a doctor -- I know he isn't a doctor, or at least I don't think he is, I'd have to check, but let's say he is -- who is really bad at his job and keeps trying to take the pulse of y'know, patients who are coming in and his finger isn't anywhere near their wrist, or neck, or the back of the knee or wherever he'd be taking pulses. The point is that his finger isn't even frickin close to any of those places. Now, if you're a doctor the mentality is that you're trying to help people, but rovert can't even take anyone's pulse, which is really bad if you're a doctor. So he thinks everyone is dead. But they're also talking and explaining their symptoms to him, so how does it look when you're a doctor, and your patients all seem dead to you, but they keep talking. You'd probably die.

The text of this video (posted back in June, retweeted by Angel Amoroso last week) is as follows: THIS IS ECW PRO WRESTLER VIRGIN PRINCESS ANGEL AMOROSO AS A 12 YEAR OLD CHILD ANGEL WAS KNOWN AS A PRO WRESTLING GROUPIE ANGEL, FROM PHILADELPHIA, WOULD TRAVEL TO WRESTLING EVENTS ACROSS THE EAST COAST EVERY WEEKEND. IN 1988 AT AGE 12 ANGEL BEGAN "DATING" PAUL HEYMAN IN 1994, PAUL HEYMAN INADVERTANTLY EXPOSED THAT HE AND OTHER, FAMOUS PRO WRESTLERS HAD SEXUALLY ABUSED ANGEL AS A CHILD [cue an ECW promo where Paul Heyman calls her a groupie and a slut while running down Shane Douglas, who I guess she was managing?] [montage of a combination of photos of Angel with a wrestler and just like WWF promo images] SEXUALLY ABUSED ANGEL AS A CHILD I don't recognize everyone, but it includes Mike Awesome, Road Dogg, Kevin Von Erich, Jerry Lawler, Brian Pillman, Mike Enos, Ultimate Warrior, Dave Meltzer, Ed Leslie, Marty Jannetty, Sid Vicious, Tully Blanchard, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Mick Foley, Paul Heyman Anyway she also has a public Facebook page where she posts a lot of thing, the videos that keep getting taken down (from what I can gather from her page) are her uploading full ECW matches where she was a valet with like FOURTEEN YEAR OLD ANGEL AMOROSO WAS RAPED BY THE MAN IN THIS VIDEO.

MassRafTer posted:It's a weird situation where the totality of the claims make it seem too ridiculous to be true and things obviously don't add up. But that time period in that area with that crew and the amount of access she had, it's completely naive to write it off completely. It's just individual claims are impossible to figure out, what's real, what's invented and why was it invented given her history. Also Mick Foley and Paul Heyman were both born in 1965, and would have been in their mid 20s for the period she's talking about. I don't doubt some pretty gross poo poo happened in/around the ECW locker room, but a couple of guys in their twenties hooking up with an adult four years younger than them is significantly less gross (and criminal) than them doing the same with a minor a full decade younger.

My favorite thing about that article is the list of things Big Dave got WRONG (no links) whereas the very smart and handsome boys at the Dirty Sheets got it RIGHT IMMEDIATELY (no links). It's like when I said back in 2001 that Roman Reigns was always planned to be the breakaway star in the SHIELD but some fans may resist it, unlike that stupid piece of poo poo Meltzer who wasted all his time reporting on Above Average Mike Sanders's contract status, which is a joke because we've all seen how Mike Sanders never existed.

Also isn't the "best case scenario" for Enzo (meaning Enzo's version of events) "look I am definitely not a rapist, I am simply a man who enjoys being unfaithful with teenage girls with whom I do a bunch of drugs with and gently caress in hotel rooms while white internet rappers probably watch but believe you me, it was CONSENTUAL" which I mean might get him over with Jim Cornette and THE BOYS circa 1983 but might not be something WWE really wants publicized regardless of consent.

https://twitter.com/JurassickParker/status/998747723099754496 Big Dave challenged this guy to find any evidence of him (Meltzer) ever claiming that Mabel was going to be the Third Man and then swiftly deleted the tweet. So... 1) Where is this guy getting the idea from? 2) Did Dave actually say this at some point?? 3) Why Wasn't Big Vis the Third Man???

Meltzer did say in reports that he had heard people in WCW discussing that it might be Crush, or Mabel, or Lex Luger, or Ultimate Warrior (but probably not due to contract issues), or Bret Hart (but definitely not because of contract issues), but it's probably Hogan.

My favorite part of that MYC rundown is that he gives detailed rundowns of like the first 18 competitors, their training history, their background, who they've trained with, where they've wrestled, their wrestling style, etc. etc. and then they hit Vanessa Craven: "Well, she's tall." "Is that it?" "I think she's from Ontario?" Way to bury [one of the 32] women in the MYC, DAVE.
