God drat do I love the Paul E. Dangerously character.


Such a perfect sleazy 80's businessman


He almost makes me want to watch 80's WCW.


Almost.

So apparently this is from a toy series which took the wrestler's finishers literally and now I need to find more of them



ahahah, I want that Bret Hart figure like, yesterday.

EDIT: Upon checking Ebay, there's one for "Hollywood" Hogan (Stage, Camera, Megaphone, Clapper Directors Chair) and one for Rick "Dog Face Gremlin" Steiner of all people. Except it's technically the best figure in the lot, cause they gave him a literal dog-faced gremlin that's the same drat size as Rick.

ROH really loving annoys me when it comes to this poo poo. At some point, I started to download every clip related to CM Punk in ROH that became popular, because they're just loving notorious about not wanting this poo poo online. Unfortunately, I kept forgetting to get the full entrance for his last match, which (if I'm not mistaken) isn't on the Summer of Punk dvd, and was only present online in the form of one clip on one of the gaming websites (gamespot, I think?).

Almost makes me wish a different company would take over, so that we can get this poo poo online.

ROH is trying to funnel their money towards the Ringside Membership when it comes to old clips of stuff.


Which I would have no problem with whatsoever, if they would actually put that poo poo up there.
I literally went and gave them $8 to renew, just to see if there was anything on there I wanted to watch.
They have the Allied Forces DVD, but only the actual event, The Punk/Joe Trilogy is completely absent.
The Generico/Danielson hug isn't there, hell, the event itself is missing.

It would be really hard to find any of these big "Holy poo poo, you have to watch this!" clips that ROH has had in abundance on that site.

As even more proof, and because I had the disc literally inches away from my keyboard, I decided to double check what the Punk/Cabana match is like on the DVD.
You all know this match right? The big emotional entrances, Punk crying as he comes through the curtain?

The Streamers? The iconic image they'd go on to use the drat box art for it when it gets released?


Well guess where the SoP dvd starts?


I don't get this, well, okay, I do. Barry Manillow, AFI, and Bouncing Souls all within about 5 minutes of each other. But if you don't want to pay the licensing rights for the songs, then don't be a douchnozzle about taking down the clips.


EDIT: Because now I feel bad that my bitching might have made people miss cool Matt Classic pics:

I REALLY enjoyed this idea, and they seem to have agreed with you a bit JRu, but that whole "Last Cowboy" schtick just never stuck.
Now if he had this goin for the last few years, every time he tries to retire, some young Punk(AHEM) has to go and ruin the celebration and Taker just sighs and begrudgingly puts on his Holster and Hat/Gloves and Eyeliner.

I am vaguely aware of Kobashi. I know he FIGHTING SPIRITUU cancer, I know he chops like a motherfucker. But I'm afraid I just don't know that much about the man. Can anyone give me a summary? I feel like this almost any time one of the big stars of Japan comes up, and it really bums me out how much the language barrier really influences how much I can get into a match.

If ROH were like a comic book universe, than technically yes. Although I don't remember if this was his last Generico match or the PWG one.

My favorite part of Danielson to WWE was the endless "Biff McLargeHuge" the internet did about what silly name he would have.
If this officially opens the floodgates back open for these two, I'm considering it an early christmas present.

His match are rather meh, but his character is loving...GOD drat do I love the character work they have doing in Orlando.
First off, watch the front row when Bo actually pins him
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS6QmIk8Fek
that's loving *real* emotion for a wrestling match. I love that poo poo.
So because NXT is mostly filled with smarks who go to every single show because whatthefuckelsedoyoudoinOrlando, most of the crowd chants are this weird mix that we've mostly come to associate with Chikara and ROH. But Bo? Bo might be the only genuine heel in the company.

PLEASE tell me this is supposed to be some sort of Lantern Corp reference. Because if this pic is implying that by boning all of these women, Punk has somehow developed the ability to resurrect the dead, I think that'd be quite a shock for Punk

The Network will occasionally air "Best Of RAW" episodes, where it's just the whole aired episode for two hours. It's awesome cause it leads to poo poo like this

That's not blurry, that's just the weird animated font they were using for our ol' buddy Vic there.

While those responses are entirely justified, I was kinda curious myself to know if such pictures existed.

Sure enough, a quick image search gave me my answer.



You can't really capture a Stunner in just a picture. At best, it's a before/after picture where its the two people falling and the next is how the other person sells it.

Now a Rock Bottom on the other hand:



I think it's more due to the fact that it's less "Wrestling Move Looking" and it's just a fancy slam. I believe when that black and white one got posted originally, this thread said it was the best pic, but YMMV.
