Catch-As-Catch-Can: The Non-Specific Wrestling Threadjanerd75 - 8-4-2017 at 11:43 PM
There's been some discussion regarding threads getting too cluttered with chicanery and foolishness of late, so I figured we could try out a
non-specific, mostly wrestling related thread in an effort to take the pressure off the main threads. In days gone by, most of this shit could be
relegated to the hinterlands of Parts Unknown down in the bowels of OO, but it's a bit hard holding fOOlks attention down there considering how
little traffic it gets.
Mabey you have something wrestling related to discuss that goes off into esoterica and minutia which may make most dizzy if they attempted to keep up
or you're keen on being a gif-posting shithead that exhausts the patience of peOOple that just want some quick and easy wrasslin' info,
well, that shit can go here.
So, if it isn't directly related to the main threads regarding RAM, SD, and especially Rumo(u)rs, most wrasslin' pontificatin',
theorizin', shit, gifs, videos, winking in-jokes/conversations go here. That's not to say these things still can't be done in
those threads, but mayhap tightening things up with some self-traffic-copping and specificity can Make OO Great Agayn! #MOOGA
Also, if The GiFury strikes and you think what you're posting may too NSFW for guys that might want to click on this stuff at work, please use
yonder bb code hidery here with a NSFW tag so the fellOOws may OO responsibly. [url=http://www.php.net]Home Page of PHP[/ url] (<----no space betwixt

I like the mix of serious analysis mixed in with(or getting derailed by) goofyness and madness about she-males, hate boners for Enzo and random shots
at Paige and Berto.
It's probably how WWE's creative meetings go.

That Gotch interview actually looks like it could be pretty good; he doesn't look like he's coming across as overly bitter (at least in the
clips) like a lot of guys do when they burn some bridges by slagging HHH or Cena.... most of his criticisms seem to be directed at disorganization in
the WWE, and Enzo being a spaz in the ring, which is already the general consensus.

I get that on one hand it's nice that the WWE owns the Sin Cara gimmick (and that you could throw pretty much anyone into the mask), and the
masks are probably a nice seller with the kids, but you would have figured that Kalisto would have filled that spot by now.

Not to sound callous, but should the Cena injury really be held against Rollins, especially on the same level as the fuck ups with Sting and Balor?

GodEatGod - 10-19-2017 at 02:44 PM
Weird random thought: has Dolph Ziggler ever really been in a tag team? Most guys who've been in WWE for as long as he has have had major
partnerships and factions in their history. He had Spirit Squad at the very beginning, but that was five guys. He had his brief faction with Big E and
AJ Lee, but they didn't tag much, it was more Big E being his Diesel.
It just seems weird. Like, Edge had Rated RKO and his brief partnership with Jericho and, of course, Christian. Even Punk had a reign with Kofi
Kingston of all people. Ziggler seems like he'd be a great Ricky Morton on a face team or a good half of a smarmy pretty boy team. Hell, he and
Miz would fit together perfectly. It just seems weird for a guy to have been in the company that long and never hold a tag belt.
First 9 - 10-19-2017 at 09:39 PM
Ziggler and Swagger were a thing fo a while but it was really more Vickie's Client A and Client B.
Speaking off, I miss Vickie. A lot of the lost midcarders today could use a heat lightning rod like her.
williamssl - 10-19-2017 at 09:48 PM
WWE started going down a Miz + Ziggler pairing a few years back - the premise being disgruntled former champions who weren't getting the credit
they deserved e.g. getting stuck in stupid midcard-at-best feuds.
They never ran with it. Not because either of them went on immediately to a more compelling storyline because they didn't. Probably because
storylines are hard and a writer can only do so many at a time and do them 'well' and they were already pressed to fit all those storylines
into 4-5 hours of weekly TV time.
Pssst.....there is some sarcasm in there in case you didn't pick up on it.

Just wanted to mention Drew Gulak and Tozawa had a bitchin' streetfight on the last episode of 205 live and it's become one of my favorite
matches recently. Gulak dressing exactly like Dean Ambrose and then looking upset Tozawa appeared in his regular gear was great. Match is a perfect
example of no dq working in the more restricted era. Instead of blood and grittyness, they use the props for innovative spots.
This match along with Tozawa's no dq match against Kendrick(possibly the best match 205 Live has produced) has convinced me that he's one of
the top ten in ring guys in the company. He's my personal pick to end the reign of Enzo.
quote:Also during the podcast, Lawler shared a story about how he chewed out Michael Cole for saying that 'The King' had suffered "anal
bleeding" from a slam delivered by Mark Henry. Apparently, Cole told the legend of Memphis pro wrestling that the call was WWE Chairman Vince
McMahon's idea.
"We could do a whole show about the things we know that Vince either told [Ross] to say or told Michael Cole to say. The most embarrassing one that I
can remember, and later on I went to him and I went, 'what the hell, man?' and he said, 'I swear, Vince told me to say it. I swear. You
know I never would have thought about it.' And it was the time Mark Henry picked me up, and I don't know if I was wrestling Mark or what
happened, but anyway, he picked me up and slammed me through the announce table and they carried me out or whatever. And then, after the break, he
said, 'we want to give you an update on 'The King'. He's not doing too well' and then he says, 'he's suffering from
anal bleeding.' So that's when I went to Cole afterwards and said, 'what the hell are you doing.' He said, 'I swear, Vince
told me to say it.'"

Christians arrival was the beginning of the downward spiral for TNA, when "made stars" became flavour of the month. Prior to that there was the
genuine drive of the AJ/Daniels/Joe X-Division series culminating in that being given the main event spot. Jarrett mat have hogged the world title
picture but he had the savvy to take a step back when it mattered.
But yes, at this point the TNA library is the only thing it has going for it, and would be a great resource for WWE documentaries and video

How is the World Title picture not 'when it mattered'? And the early stuff when the X-division was dominant also included tons of garbage
matches and Russo stunt booking. There was still a lot of great stuff going on after Christian and Angle came in -and- Jarrett took more of a backseat
than he had before sparing us his crippling mediocrity. Christian could still go and was always underutilized in WWE so I never understood people
bitching about him anyway. The Christian Coalition of him, Tomko and AJ was one of my favorite factions they ever did

Fact.
Even bringing in Angle was incredibly smart, they just then made the mistake of having him immediately end Samoa Joe's streak rather then build
to it.
Heck even having Sting around was smart, they just couldn't stop themselves from having him main event Bound for Glory every year.
Paddlefoot - 12-4-2017 at 07:46 PM
Christian worked with other guys in TNA, he didn't bury anyone the way the old fossils from WCW did when Dixie brought them in. And Christian
elevated people too, most notably AJ Styles who became much better on the mic and as a heel just from him working with Christian as a member of the
Christian Coalition. Even Tomko was head and shoulders above what he was in WWE, simply from being allowed to talk more and from playing a straight
man to Christian's heel antics.
I'd wager that if TNA had continued the path it started with Christian, and then Angle, but never got into business with Hogan (or even with
Sting) that they'd be a rock-solid company right now, in terrific financial shape, and might now be providing the competition that WWE
desperately needed to get rid of their own complacency. There was nothing but upside with the way TNA was proceeding at that point in time, and they
wrecked it all completely thanks to Dixie being a fucking mark for the guys who bear a huge portion of the responsibility for ruining WCW.
Flash - 12-6-2017 at 11:30 AM
Christian is probably the exact kind of signing that a company would want to make at that stage: he had name value, a bunch of hustle on his resume,
could talk, and had that untapped top guy potential while also being the kind of guy who could also slide down the card to elevate when and where
needed. He also wasn't so big a name that he would overshadow anyone else and force you push him right to the top. So maybe if this were a hockey
analogy he'd be that veteran 2nd line scoring winger who can also play first line minutes, who's coming over from a team where he was
getting pushed out because of up and coming rookies.
Angle for me at that time was A) not someone they should have scooped up right away as it sent a bad message about substance abuse, but ultimately B)
that kind of finishing piece you get to put your team over the top... the superstar who's proven goal scorer; still a good pick up because it
made people pay attention to your "team", and that guy you pick up for the playoff run but not the kind of guy you keep around for the long term
either.
Hogan and the others... that's like the old timers league that you're supposed to trot out once a year as a goodwill ambassador, not make
your first line.
You look at the guys that passed through TNA, and just in a lot of ways the complete lack of expectations that was put on them and it's mind
boggling that they failed the way they did, or let so many guys slip through their fingers... to cap off the hockey analogy I'd say they were the
New York Islanders of wrestling.

As someone pointed out on Twitter tonight, how the hell has Ring of Honor managed to exist for this long and not have a proper women's division,
with a champion and such? Isn't that kind of weird? What the hell, RoH?
Count Zero - 12-16-2017 at 07:06 AM
As somebody who pretty-regularly watches the RoH (it's easy to dvr & consume), I must admit I have wondered the same thing. Why _don't_
they go all out with the Women Of Honor thing? They've had a pretty consistently-decent string of ladies, from what I've seen. I think
that some of the WoH even work in.. Shimmer? Shine? And apparently one of the joshi
promotions in Japan?
PB-13 - 12-21-2017 at 09:25 PM
At Final Battle they finally announced that they're starting a championship for Women of Honor.
P.S. Thinking I should finally deep-six my dumb Indie thread and move that stuff here. LOL.

Bah. I think I'm supposed to be burned by that, or it's part of something bigger that has burn.
Seth MacFarlane is a wretched vile unfunny creature and nothing anyone says or does is going to make me regret or think twice about the
good-for-humanity-but-bad-for-Seth things I've wished upon him.

Really liking this Pete Dunne fella more and more.
First he battled the father and now he battles the son. Matt Hardy truly is immortal. I think it'd be cool if they brought Goldust into the
Broken Universe and let them run wild for a bit until Jeff gets back. Remarkable for two guys that have been around that long to still be watchable
and non-sucky in a ring.
And to close 'er out, gotdayum did Maryse have a sweet DDT or what? All the Gollys!

Soooooo... The Rick started the OOficial NXT Sticky. (heh. wankers get sticky over NXT.) He also said that We, The People, are free to start Lucha
Underground/TNA Sticky Places, whenever The People should desire to do so.
My question to yOOu, fellow members of the OOverse, is:
Do we maybe want a Ring Of Honor thread? I've kind of wondered why there isn't one, considering that (not counting NXT) they're
probably the biggest "little" fed in the Canada/USA wrestling marketplace.
We need a place to praise Dalton Castle. There should be tributes to THE VILLAIN~!, Marty Scurll for saving Bullet Club from jumping the shark.
There's a NEW WOMENS' TITLE about to join the long & inglorious history of Womens' Titles In North America! They have a TRIOS tag
championship! There's stuff going on in RoH, and I, for one, enjoy it enough that I have dared to step out of the shadows and ... suggest that
somebody else do something.

three matches added to the Rumble Kickoff show:
Bobby Roode US Championship Open Challenge
Gallows & Anderson vs The Revival
Kalisto, Gran Metalik, & Lince Dorado vs TJP, Jack Gallagher, and Drew Gulak.
Plus, they have a poll on the main page that asks who you think will win the Rumble. The choices:
- John Cena, The Miz, Shinsuke Nakamura, or Finn Balor
- one of the other 26 Royal Rumble entrants.

Well, this is/was a thing. Ride on Space Mountain goes terribly wrong, PR-wise:
quote:UPDATE: Well, that didn�t last long. The previously-mentioned �WOOOOO Compromise� contract of sexual consent is no longer available from
RicFlairShop.com, as Wrestling Inc reports.
In addition, the tweets made by Ric Flair�s Twitter account advertising the contract have been deleted. Flair has not yet commented on the item being
pulled from the store.
ORIGINAL: Ric Flair is going all-out for Valentine�s Day, announcing that the �WOOOOO Compromise,� a contract of sexual consent, is available
for sale. The contract is up for sale on RicFlairShop.com and is autographed by Flair, running $50. The contract reads as follows:
�By Signing This Compromise, both parties involved agree to ride Space Mountain and engage in sexual relations on this night. This contract adheres to
guidelines of informed consent, and both people in the relationship must be present and not in an intoxicated state before signing. No party shall be
pressured or persuaded into something that they do no want to do, and they reserve the right to terminate the contract if need be. This contract has
the signed and sealed approval of The Nature Boy Ric Flair, who has taken many women for a ride on Space Mountain, and has the utmost respect for
women.�
You see, it's called being a dry-drunk, where you're no longer drinking but you still have the same complete fucking lack of common sense
like you were still constantly pissed to the gills......
(+5 virtual points though for headlining the contract with a pic from what was probably Ric's most coked-up WCW promo of all time )

I don't understand what's terrible about it. It clearly demonstrates who Bayley's character is. It does the best job of anything I can
remember of attempting to combine real life with kayfabe. The artwork is solid. It's clearly targeted towards the younger audience, but so what?
The Asuka part was a bit dumb, but inoffensive.
I guess I'm not seeing whatever your seeing.

Just a fun bit on the social media: Bayley and Sasha both wished Norman Smiley a happy birthday on Twitter today using the same picture - except they
both cropped the other one out of the photo. Cute bit of subtle kayfabing.
CM Punk and Wade Barrett will be hosting a Netflix reality show called "Ultimate Beastmasters" which I am guessing by the title is like American Ninja
Warriors but with dinosaur skeletons and ferocious tigers as obstacles.
salmonjunkie - 3-1-2018 at 05:43 PM
I saw the first few episodes of that show. It's ok, not as good as American Ninja Warrior. Perhaps the format/presentation has improved and
they've worked out the kinks by now. I'll give it a chance just to see if Punk and Barrett/Bennett say any sports-entertainey things to each
other during the show.

Agreed, it's not particularly good but it's decent art and decent stories and it's hilarious how they dance around non-pag issues. In
the comic book universe Roman wasn't suspended for failing the drug test, he was suspended for property damage caused by his brawl with Ambrose
in Stonehenge.

From what I have read, Punk's doing the North America one with the current host, and Wade is doing UK-Only? I
sped-read, though, so I mighta got the deets wrong. janerd75 - 3-3-2018 at 12:07 AM
This week's Edge & Christian podcast is well worth a listen: Bret and Austin together dissecting their submission match from WM 13 for an hour
and a half. Awesome hearing some of the behind the scenes stuff and what goes into their mindset into that kind of classic match.
I will warn that you have to have a certain tolerance for Bret patting himself on the back, as with any Bret interview, but it's pretty well
deserved in this case.
[Edited on 3-23-2018 by GodEatGod]
First 9 - 3-24-2018 at 06:26 PM
Yeah, Bret's self love comes off as pretty seamless this time.It's the greatest match of all time(according to OO!) and Bret did insist to
work with micard Stone Cold and take him to the next level.
Christian's glea at hearing their breakdowns makes it a fun listen.

Just listened to the Anatomy of a Match on E&C; yesterday while I was at work, and thoroughly enjoyed it. One thing I wanted to chime in on and see if
I'm the only one who noticed this or not, or if I'm just crazy: Does Bret sound...less Canadian? He almost sounded like Scott Hall in
non-Razor mode at a few points.
