the most dangerous move is running into the ropes not knowing what to do when you get there, especially if they aren't wwe-style and they're just deadly elevator cables or something with a thin layer of rubber ontop

someone post enzo knocking himself out running the ropes

this came up somewhere else, but it turns out Tyson Fury is actually the Lineal Brawl 4 all champ, getting it from Wlad. Klitshcko (not Mcgregor/Mayweather). Kinda funny it came back home

i was watching an old roh dvd (ring of homicide 2) and saw daizee haze vs billie kay. this was over 11 years ago. who are some other wrestlers that had some pretty obscure beginnings in semi major feds (roh, pwg, tna, etc) that wound up later getting a wwe main roster spot?

I ended up on a CZW wiki page; and I was shocked at how many current WWE/AEW wrestlers were champs or had big runs there... I mean Lio Rush? Candice LaRae? Chris Hero? Gulak? MJF? There were so many

A friend of mine lived in Ohio in the mid 2000s and was a fan of local indies like HWA and NWF. There was a guy on their cards who was talented for an undercard dude but who just could not string any meaningful wins together, something the crowd mocked him for. As someone yelled at one show:

"oh, Moxley, will you ever win?"

and they were right until he left the WWE

I hate all the flashes at the moment of impact. I wanna be able to slow everything down and watch his spine compress like the Zapruder film.

click the settings button and play it at 0.25x speed (maybe I have a plugin that adds that option I dunno) - the point of impact sound at 0.25 is incredible

What Rock vs (?) ppv was it where (i assume in phili) he sang a song about about sticking a feather up a jabroni

I've just signed up for a free month of WWE using a prepaid card so it won't renew :v: and always wanted to see the leadup to it, and a few of the specials on Eddie / First season of Christian & Edge

(I skipped wrestling from 2000-2018)


Also probably watch all the Royal Rumbles (not whole cards) from 2000+ even though I know who *most* of the winners are, just not of which particular Rumble

Already saw the last episode of good WWE with WM30; any other really good PPV's I should watch? (Takeovers not allowed)


edit: lol just saw Drew Carey "eliminate" both Hardy's. Al snow?? what the hell why is Steve Blackman (oh Ryan Shamrock :swoon: ) allowed to use his sticks in the Rumble; I have no idea who the gently caress is going to win this 2001 rumble I'm watching


edit: lol honkey tonk man vs kane ; thank god im drunk as gently caress

Rock @ 13 woo I bet he wins (or loses to HHH in the final 2)

Kane is up there I guess, with Isaak Yankem, Kane; Corporate Kane*. Glen Jacobs. I think he was something else at one point too

and no i dont count Murphy -> buddy murphy -> murphy -> buddy -> buddy murphy -> murphy -> saint murphy even though he's the only good part of the seth stable because the way he was recruited, Seth FN Rollings begging a guy crying on the outside of the ring for 30 minutes after losing to Black to save him.

I loved Shawn Michaels until the Montreal screwjob :canada: I still think Razor vs Shawn ladder match is my favorite match of all time (though I haven't seen it since I was a kid) so I don't want to taint my childhood memory if it was actually bad.

He counts as a garbage person and I don't like him now either but his selling is some of the best of all-time, and his wrestling is legit.

as a counterpoint, I never liked Undertaker anything, and am glad he's a garbage person and bad wrestler

He's definitely a carny, I mean he grew up in the dungeon, so I get why he's such a mark for himself/etc. I kinda lost respect for him going back to WWE but whatever, at least he took money from Vince.

He also seems to be "one of the good ones" or ones you never really heard bad stories about or if they are they aren't horrible poo poo, at least I've never heard of any bad Bret stories other than when he did meth with Bulldog or whatever

e: not surprised Owen ruled but he did start that human being chant at goldust once :shrug: but i'll blame that on Vince

Ive never seen TNA before; and don't plan on it except I wanna see some of these clusterfuck King of the Mountain matches; can someone post which ones are the good ones, or most entertaining clusterfuck if none are good; I quickly glanced over contestant lists to try to not get spoiled and saw some Sting/Samoa Joe/AJ ones.


I the mean time I will watch this team :canada: vs team :patriot: and hope Bret pulls out the victory! https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5x5pj

quote:

In terms of star power, this is the Flag Match that featured the biggest names. It took place in Halifax, Nova Scotia in eastern at a time when the Hart Foundation stable was pro Canadian and anti-American in everything that they did. The crowd was supportive of the Bret, Owen and Bulldog team while Austin & Dude were the tag team champions. Their partner was supposed to be Shawn Michaels, but he got taken out earlier in the night so The Undertaker, who was the WWE Champion at the time, subbed in as their partner. It was a tag match with the rule where you had to capture your country's flag that was hanging on a pole above the ring posts in their respective corners. They basically worked a regular tag team match without pinfalls.

God I always loved USA vs angles; especially since :canada: always had top guys for decades has the best wrestlers in the world* (*North America!) - Bret / Owen / Jericho / Omega / Lance Storm + Major Gunns :v: / BOBBY ROODE while Team USA's were like General E. Rection or whatever the gently caress that stupid fat gently caress from the PC Center was, and the Patriot, and like the dog faced gremlin

I'm surprised how little Canadian wrestlers came from though; I can think of Test; Santino; Bobby Roode, Trish; and Edge/Christian if you count Orangeville.
Montreal seemed to be a hotbed earlier on the the Rougeaus or Whoever, and now with Evil Uno/Stu/KO/Sami; that's a pretty good group representing. I'm sure there's a lot more. It's also crazy that Winnipeg of all places, raised probably the 2 GOAT's with Jericho/Omega; or at least should both Be on Mount Rushmore of wrestling.

That Tom Mcgee match changed my entire outlook on the hitman as a childhood hero, because it made me realize he had 5 moves; he just changed the order around, and they were just simple safe moves, like elbow drop off the middle rope. He was just basically :canada: propaganda to wrestlers; I loved Owen a whole more being the younger brother too.

and it wasn't until like a year ago someone pointed out why the Hitman's finisher is called the Sharpshooter and my mind was blown.
