I just have a few questions:

1. How come Vince never pushed Adam Bomb? The guy had a decent look, and he was no worse in the ring than plenty of guys who Vince had pushed.

2. Who is the most famous WWE wrestler without a Wrestlemania appearance? It’s gotta be Kamala right?

1. That era sucked, and the gimmicks sucked. As much as I liked Duke The Dumpster Droese’s look, he was doomed too.

2. Hakushi? Nope - Superstar Billy Graham.

What wrestlers have amusing/consistent “weakness feuds”? I will name a few of what I’m talking about:

1) Randy Savage vs Royal Rumble match rules

2) Pentagon Jr vs Sight Gags (masks, dupes, the Gobbler)

3) Randy Orton vs tables

I know every word to every Sublime song.

I cannot stand them.

It’s not their fault.

If I go to a Karaoke bar and someone decides they wanna practice Santeria, I practice going outside and not listening to it.

I say this as someone who did 3 years of UPS Store Christmas rushes listening to motherfucking Christmas Shoes (which legitimately sucks no matter how many times you listen to it). Diminishing Returns aren’t the artist’s fault.

I’m still trying to figure out how to tolerate Aerosmith again after Armageddon.

Wrestling-wise: I could really use a break from foreign object spots. That’s all opinion, and I accept that. Heh

You know how there’s the John MorrisonKofi Kingston “Royal Rumble” spot?

Can anybody set me up with the longest transition from leaving their feet and being the “deliverer” of a DDT? I’m looking for that Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 chain-move revert-into-manual-into-grind-into-caveman bullshit.

Found it! Turns out it was the 720 DDT. Not exactly what I remembered but seems to fit the OP's specifications nonetheless.

A phenomenal move for sure, and I suppose it fits. I guess I was kinda hoping for a marathon spot like the football field rolling suplex, or even like an N64 WWF No Mercy scene transition.

Bonus points if there is no possible way for the deliverer to have kayfabe leverage over his opponent.

If my memory is correct, the reason Del Rio got the Sí chants was because he was facing Batista in the previous PPV, and that was the way that fans chose to poo poo on that match. Del Rio was the heel of that match and the fans cheered all of his offense.

Edit: here’s the match. If I’m wrong I’m wrong, but I’ll watch and find out

Edit 2: the chants start about six minutes in

What are some examples of matches akin to the RVD-Cena match where one guy is just 100% blasted by the crowd the entire time?

I know Cardona's recent run has had some general reactions similar, though I haven't seen any of the actual in-ring stuff yet.

I remember the Batista/Del Rio feud during the road to Wrestlemania 30 having a pretty lopsided reaction, where the crowd absolutely booed the poo poo out of Batista (the celebrity face) and cheered wildly for the heel in the feud, Alberto Del Rio.
