"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
During the whole Hulk Hogan vs. gawker thing Hogan made a tweet that simply said gawker. Most people assumed he was confusing twitter and google. But I thought he just muttered gawker and shaked his fist angrily.

Then again, he didn't sign it HH so maybe it really was supposed to go into google.

Anyway, yeah, I just remembered this wrestling adjacent thing.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Jerry Lawler feuding with Goldust in ‘97. Lawler had a promo where he said something like “Dakota? I heard her name was Target, since all the guys in town have had a shot at her!”

Dakota was four years old at the time.

That was an unbelievably hosed up feud. Just some of the absolute worst poo poo of the attitude era, which is really saying something.

Bumping this ancient thread because I just remembered it exists...

Also I remembered this from 2018's G1

More refs should just refuse to count a pin and call for the DQ instead because they can be reasonably sure there was interference.

That time Hogan was feuding with the Undertaker, and was supposed to chase him via motorcycle. But Hogan doesn't actually know much about motorcycles, and though 'Taker kept stalling for time, eventually it strained all credulity and he had to run backstage. Hogan keeps fighting with the motorcycle, and eventually just parks it on the ramp and tries to run backstage on foot. About halfway there, he remembers that the pre-taped segment has him riding the motorcycle backstage, chasing the Undertaker, so he runs back down the ramp, and slowly works the motorcycle up and back through the curtain.

quote:

The dumbass wasn't giving it enough throttle to take off on an incline. Especially with a cold ( carbureted ) motor. He also appeared to be dumping the clutch, and then getting scared when it lunged forward, and hitting the brakes.

Speaking of the Undertaker, they spent weeks hyping up Nathan Jones as this dangerous Australian prison guy who was supposed to be a psychopath in the Hannibal Lecter mold. Jones legitimately did time in prison for armed robbery, so I guess it make sense to take advantage of this? He would sit in dark rooms and be interviewed on how he likes the dark, because he feels more comfortable alone in the dark darkness. He then spent one afternoon with the Undertaker, and was suddenly a jocular and happy fellow. The way he said "Thanks for showing me the ropes, Un-da-tay-kah!" pops into my head at least once a week.

Steven Regal during some random WCW interview calling someone an oxygen thief.

Schiavone’s “Two count on the surfboard!” from the Nasty Boys and Public Enemy dog collar match.

Speaking of the Nastys, I remember when I was about 10 going to a WWF house show and Repo Man was in a singles match with I think Knobbs who yelled into the mic “The Nasty Boys are going to repossess your rear end!” before attacking Repo.

And two things from everybody entering the ring for WCW’s First World War 3 battle royal. One Man Gang laughing then very audibly bellowing “YEEEEEAAAAAAH!” The other was when Big Train Bart was announced, Bobby Heenan said “The janitor,” which almost seemed accidental if not so befitting.

in the triple threat match at wrestlemania 17 between raven, kane, and the big show, raven kept driving around a golf cart and he kept dragging poo poo around and driving over cables and it instilled an insane amount of anxiety in me that he was going to rip one of the cables and cut the power to the cameras and the entire arena as well as electrocute himself and they would have to come back on the air and announce that raven had accidentally killed himself. i was as uneasy during that match as the first time i went on a rollercoaster with that feeling like you're constantly pushing something down inside yourself. it felt like that match took 30 minutes even though it was 9 minutes and 28 seconds long

That's probably the best hardcore match the WWE had. Raven being tossed through a window while being choked with a cable was a cool spot. And Kane and Show punching through the dainty backstage sets like terminator 2 ruled.

In WCW Shane Douglas was supposed to do a run in during a match on Nitro and he missed his cue so bad,y that he runs down with only one boot on and holding the other as he hits the ring. Just knew then his career in WCW was over. Then the Radicalz left him high and dry.. to this day I think of that stupid run in and laugh about Shane Douglas with one boot on.
