    Big Daddy V/Viscera Dead at 43

    Well, the Kliq proved that they could change Vince's mind more often than not and get their own way. That's what politcking is. It didn't hurt that the mid-90's WWF wasn't exactly the most prosperous era in the company's history (the exact opposite, actually... some refer to it as the dark ages...

    Big Daddy V/Viscera Dead at 43

    That may be true as well. I do recall Nash saying that he stopped Mabel form being fired for nearly injuring him with some sort of splash that WWF officials specifically told him not to do anymore. But let's be honest - he wasn't gonna win the title regardless. Of all the other things that the...

    Big Daddy V/Viscera Dead at 43

    Judging from his birth date, 23 and a half at the time.

    The official CM Punk leaving WWE discussion thread.

    I read they actually are considering the Bad News Barrett thing. It seems like an obvious way for him to get heat. I could see Randy Orton and/or HHH getting cheap heat from it as well.

    Big Daddy V/Viscera Dead at 43

    R.I.P. Not surprised he died. Fun Fact: If Mabel had won the WWF Title at Summerslam 1995 (as originally planned before the Kliq politicked and got Diesel to keep the strap), he'd still to this day be the youngest WWE Champion and world champion in general ever.

    Would You Like It If The American Bad Ass Were Still Around?

    I don't know if "everybody" was sick of the American Bad Ass and wanted Dead Man Taker back in 2003, but I do recall that when the WWE were hyping up Taker's comeback for the '03 Royal Rumble, they spent the first two weeks showing videos of tombstones and stuff accompanied by his old music...

    Undertaker's Wrestlemania Streak: Best and Worst?

    WM15 was the HIAC match with Bossman. Undertaker wasn't at 16 since he was still out with an injury. And while the match with Bossman sucked (in fact, I seem to recall there being boring chants during the match at one point), that awesome stunt at the end where Bossman was hanging by the noose...

    Since Rusev is being brought up

    Have him first destroy jobbers and people in the undercard to get him over as a physical imposing threat to the other members on the roster. Guys like Zack Ryder, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kignston... line them up and let Rusev tear through them one at a time. Maybe Lana issues challenges to anyone in...

    Highlights from Cena on Austin's podcast, hints at main event push for Cesaro

    How can you love Cena as a performer and a worker but then say you hate his ring work?:idk:

    Should this place be wrestling themed?

    Yeah, not the best idea to have it revolve around wrestling as that could end up turning some people off. Nice looking restaurant, though.

    Would You Like It If The American Bad Ass Were Still Around?

    Yeah, I was thinking of their UFC confrontation from a few years ago. That was actually one of those other examples I was gonna use to show why it would have made sense for Taker to be the American Bad Aaa at least these past few years. Because the idea was that Vince wanted Brock to cross-over...

    Cesaro praised after RAW

    It's actually one of the easiest ways to put someone from the undercard over - book them against a top talent and have them hold their own even though they lose. It's a win-win situation because the more established guys pick up the victory but the lesser star possibly picks up some momentum and...

    Cesaro praised after RAW

    Precisely. Some people confuse the terms "Go Over" and "Put Over." The former is what means to win a match, but the latter means to be made to look more credible than you already are. You can easily lose a match with someone and still come out of it looking stronger than you did before. (Austin...

    Would You Like It If The American Bad Ass Were Still Around?

    He's been coming more and more out of his character these days (doing commercials, speaking as himself on WWE docs, etc.) and when it comes his time to go into the Hall Of Fame, he's gonna have to act as himself, both for his speech as well as the next night when he's presented to the crowd...

    Would You Like It If The American Bad Ass Were Still Around?

    Anyone notice last night that when Goldust and Cody Rhodes were playing with the toys backstage, they showed a toy of Undertaker on a motorcycle and said "...there's the Undertaker on his Harley." I'm probably looking too much into it, but I wonder if that was a slight clue that Undertaker is...

    One step ahead of WWE Network. VHS rules again

    VHS? Is it still 1994 and I just missed it? It's too much to spend 60$ on the Network for six months (at a time) of unlimited programming of your choosing (in superior quality of that of a VHS, I might add)?

    Times where the wrestlers seemed out of chacter while in the ring?

    Saturn beat the shit out of a no-name jobber for real during the pre-show of Unforgiven 2000. The guy botched a spot and landed him on his head and Saturn lost his composure and went off on the guy for dropping him. You can hear Saturn say after tossing him from the ring that "the fucker dropped...

    The Walking Dead Discussion Thread(spoilers)

    Even though I've heard that Tara is supposed to be a lesbian (even though I've never seen any official confirmation of it), imagine if she and Glenn fell for each other and developed a romantic bond with one another by the time Maggie finds them. That'd be some shit - Maggie worrying herself to...

    How Manly are you?!

    I have a beard, so... pretty damn manly.

    Glad to see Tara is still alive. Disappointed that they killed off her sister Lilly that easy though, and off-screen much less.
