> Hey Scott,
> Just finally watched Bash 89, and the wild ending seemed to set up perfectly for Flair vs. Muta at Starrcade. You said you would've booked Flair/Luger or Windham, but why not draw out the Flair as face a few extra months. Flair and Sting faced Terry & Muta at Havoc and Then Flair made Terry quit, so it seed Muta was the best and hottest heel act going. Have Sting face heel Luger or Sting/Steamboat vs. Luger/funk at Starrcade. Why didn't that match ever take place aside from the mini-tourney quickie?

Because WCW. That's the only answer I can give.

Yes, just watched 89 also and was thinking the same thing. I guess the problem is that Sting and Flair vs Muta and Funk at Halloween Havoc was totally the right booking call and Sting and Flair going over did diminish Muta and Funk a bit. Still, it would have been fun if they'd criss crossed and we'd gotten Flair/Muta and Sting/Funk. I suppose, there would have been some room to do it as the Havoc finish didn't involve a pin or submission. I also would have been interested in seeing Funk/Muta do more tag-team work, it would have been a hot match if they'd taken on The Steiners or Road Warriors.
ReplyDeleteIt also occurred to me that Muta was so over that he might have pulled off a face run. After Sting hurt his knee, they might have saved Luger from his momentum draining face turn, by having Muta be the guy who stepped up to Flair in defense of Sting, the rival who'd won his respect. Then they wouldn't have had to job Luger, who was coming off a hot streak, to kill time until Sting got back.
The main event for Starrcade 89 should have been the blow off to the Flair/Funk feud, not a month prior on free TV at a Clash. Still don't get that decision.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I'll give the tournament though, is it was a great way to establish Sting as the next challenger to Flair's title and as a legitimate threat to take it. The angle with the Horsemen was really well done, right through the Clash promo where the Horsemen turned on Sting, but Sting's injury really derailed everything.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it would have been better if they'd done the Round Robbin for the top four guys (Luger, Sting, Flair, and Muta) but had booked an under-card instead of running a tag tourney also.
Yeah, there are hundreds of questions that can be answered with "Because WCW".
ReplyDelete"Because TNA" is also every answer to any question involving TNA.
ReplyDeleteIn 1988-1989 you had Flair vs "X" in 45-60 minute classics grabbing headlines everywhere, and even making a dent in a Wrestlemania, and so what do you run on your biggest show to end '89?
ReplyDeleteA series of quick matches.
......#WCWProblems
Watched 89 for the first time ever yesterday a f it's great. This is a well thought out booking loan and seemed liked a logical direction. When "because wcw" is the only answer, you know there is no rationale.
ReplyDeleteIn my view there has never been a better wrestling run than Ric Flair in 1989. He had a series of MULTIPLE legit 5 star matches, both technical marvels and hardcore brawls, with two completely different opponents in Steamboat and Funk.
ReplyDeleteFlair fought Muta in a great TV match in late 1989. Think it was on WCW (Saturday night show). I believe it's on YouTube still too (hopefully).
ReplyDeleteIt's his fault for getting his head smashed in
ReplyDeleteI don't get it either. Guy was made the night after Mania last year but the head injury really fucked things up for him. But now he's beyond lost in the shuffle... complete jobber status.
ReplyDeleteBoth he and Punk seem to speak their minds freely, yet one is getting buried and the other is a top 3 star.
ReplyDeleteIf he wanted to be treated like a guy on his level of overness, he should've thought ahead and not gotten a concussion.
ReplyDeleteI had fun. Hope it becomes a regular thing.
ReplyDeleteI'm just stating both sides of the fence. I'm sure Punk didn't alert them at all that he was planning on leaving so that they could plan out the future accordingly.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that IS a pretty happening shirt, hah.
ReplyDeleteOnly if he does the dance after.
ReplyDeleteThis one?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0d_cP1vo7Y
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DdYU1Gs978
Maybe that was the date it originally aired on TV?
ReplyDeleteI think Punk will be JUST enough to fend off the malicious snarkyness if they put him in a triple threat. He's gonna have huge momentum coming off this hiatus.
ReplyDeleteMuta had awesome entrance music. WCW 1989 is the best ever.
ReplyDeleteUntil the finish, because there's no way he's winning it.
ReplyDeleteIs anybody going to be watching Mania 25 tonight when it streams on the network? I'll probably watch it.
ReplyDeleteBob Orton and dick slater were great. Did they ever get a run in the WWF. I think I almost remember them winning the belts of rocky and tony or something?
ReplyDeleteWhat makes you sure of that? I'm sure he DID, because he told them he was leaving a month before the next PPV and over 2 months before Wrestlemania, which gives them plenty of time to change whatever they originally planned for him. What's the amount of time he needs to give them, a year's notice? If he quit 2 weeks before WM I'd agree with you. He didn't. He quit after the Rumble, the final televised match he was advertised for. I'm sure they had something in mind for him at EC and WM...they also might have had something in mind for him to do the month after, maybe the month after that. Maybe they had HHH/Punk in mind since Summerslam, a full 7 months before WM. If he had quit then, is that not enough notice because they already had something in mind for WM?
ReplyDeleteYea. No idea how you solve that unless you push the shit outta heel Batista, put it on last, and just spin it as your top heel winning it to heel heat. Everyone will know better tho.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't like his conditions so he walked out until he got better ones.
ReplyDeleteDo you hate unions?
Not even going to read it. It's just an automatic upvote.
ReplyDeleteWow this shit is looking kind of bush league but the in ring product is really entertaining
ReplyDeleteHave you met him?
ReplyDeleteYeah, what a fucking mess. All those idiots that got in on the Putin lovefest over the last couple months can go die now.
ReplyDeleteOverall, that was a great stretch of booking at the top of WCW, starting with Steamboat's arrival as Gilbert's mystery partner. Flair/Steamboat segued naturally into the Funk feud, which led to the Horsemen returning and then turning on Sting.
ReplyDeleteDisagree that there's no way. I would not expect any kind of a long reign, but if Punk were inserted into the title match, I could absolutely see him winning it at WM and dropping it either the next night or at Extreme Rules (probably to Batista).
ReplyDeleteI also could see Batista winning at WM, but they tend to prefer to send the fans home happy. After WM 16 and 17, the only time a heel has won in the main event is Miz, and that was because they felt that the heel winning was superseded by Rock getting involved and "standing tall" at the end. Punk winning it and then dropping it right away wouldn't surprise me at all.
What time is it at? I don't even remember the WM25 card. Maybe I'll surprise myself and just watch it.
ReplyDeleteThe Two Man Power Trip after what was a total blood feud never made sense to me. But as a stand alone viewing 13 (!!!) years later? Fucking awesome.
ReplyDeleteNow onto Punk vs. Brock... I love this network.
8 PM EST I think.
ReplyDeleteWatching 1989 NWA PPV run in full on the network and have made it to Starrcade. Obviously a huge letdown after a great year, although Halloween Havoc wasn't a blow away show either.
ReplyDeleteI know Flair was the head booker for most if not all of 89 and in 90 Ole took over the booker role, but does anyone know what point that changeover occurred because the PPVs on the first half of 89 were definitely better than what the overall product was by the time the fall came around. (and yes I know I am ignoring a pretty great Clash of the Champions)
And someone's going to emergency, and someone's going to jail.
ReplyDeleteWas charlie browns beard legit?
ReplyDeleteUnions involve lawyers, negotiations, and formalized deadlines and tangible dates for walkout and/or strikes. Punk worked Sunday night, got fed up, amd left by Monday night by all accounts. That's hardly the mechanics behind a union walkout.
ReplyDeleteHe failed to win the title so he's going to try and beat a guy who wrestles twice a year? That's his big success story?
ReplyDeleteWho did he whine to?
ReplyDeleteHe kept complete media silence.
Methinks you missed some sarcasm, my friend.
ReplyDeleteIt was Adrain Adonis & Dick Murdoch that beat Atlas & Johnson for the belts. Slater had an aborted WWF run in '86 as a face.
ReplyDeleteTechnically the crowd hated the 29 ending with Rock passing the torch to Cena
ReplyDeleteY'know...what workers have been doing to get better working conditions for 100 years.
ReplyDeleteCena as Flair, Bryan as Luger. Put the title on Cena and turn him heel at the same time. Then have Bryan chase after Cena and the title for a year getting screwed out of winning it several times to build critical mass and then have Bryan finally win it at next year's Wrestlemania and blow the roof off the place after a year of anticipation.
ReplyDeleteYes, but Cena was still a top face. Point is WWE hasn't had a top heel standing tall at WM since 17 (and that was a heel turn during the match). I'm certainly not saying that means it can't happen. The title match could go on earlier and not be the main event, or it could still be the main event but Batista could win to go along with the whole "He'll get a ton of heel heat for it" thing. I'm just saying I absolutely disagree with the idea that because it's unlikely they would give Punk a long reign (unless he signs a new contract AND the whole current situation was either a work or overblown), it's impossible for him to win the match. I could absolutely see him winning and dropping it either on Raw the next night or at Extreme Rules.
ReplyDeleteBabyface Muta would have been so bad-ass. Did anyone else try to blow the mist by using some kool-aid? Oh, just me? Ok then
ReplyDeleteBryan's been Luger this whole time, lol.
ReplyDeleteI just think the whole Batista thing is pre-ordained. Anyways, Taker and Bryan are both winning and can go on last. Inserting Punk into this just maybe makes it more than the curtain-jerker.
ReplyDeleteIf Punk is coming back to fulfill his last couple of months, I'd have him win, turn on DB and job out to him, tapping out on the way out, and that's something he'd do. Problem is neither of them are in a movie and if Punk turns, the only faces left are Cena and DB
The problem is they've already spent 7 months now screwing him out of the title constantly. I'm patient and a huge Bryan fan and I've been begging for a Cena heel turn, and I don't know if I can go yet another year of screwing Bryan out of the title.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna be out of town Monday and Tuesday, and since BoDers seem to appreciate the daily network thread, I was hoping you could post it for me. Or some kind of network/daily update combo.
ReplyDeleteHow many title matches has Bryan had in those 7 months?
ReplyDeleteIt was one of the better matches at 27.
ReplyDeleteHe's been phoning it in for a while now.
ReplyDeleteZiggler was all potential, no actual talent. The dude sucks.
Watching the No Mercy '02 Tag Match. Who's That Jumpin' Out The Sky>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Booyaka
ReplyDeleteThe way everything stands now I don't want to see any of these matches go on last. Bray Wyatt isn't there yet, Batista/Orton will be a shit show, Taker/Brock I think can be a very good match, but is the biggest foregone conclusion I've perhaps ever seen in wrestling (because I can't even pretend that maybe Brock wins by DQ or countout, like he could if it was a title match with an obvious winner), and Bryan VS HHH might be the best bet of those four, but has nothing attached to it and no reason to think anything would change as a result of Bryan winning. In fact, in storyline, why wouldn't Bryan winning make things even worse for him, with HHH hating him even more now and screwing him even more? Unless a stip gets attached, it's not enough for me personally.
ReplyDeleteYeah, just me being an ass. Seems like half the "title hunts" the past couple years have started with losing streaks
ReplyDeleteGarbage truck match. It ties up all the loose ends.
ReplyDeleteAt least five. Maybe six? I forget if he got a title match on Raw at all. The cash in, Night of Champions, Battleground, Hell in a Cell, Elimination Chamber, and he was also screwed out of even appearing in the Royal Rumble to earn a title shot.
ReplyDeleteExcept there aren't unions in wrestling, so yeah. Vince wants to run his business like a shyster con-man without rules? This is what he gets.
ReplyDeleteBut it all needs to be against the same opponent to make it really matter in terms of building my proposed storyline.
ReplyDeleteWait so did charlie brown not win the TV title there? Why was that so weird?
ReplyDeleteIt was, Randy Orton. Every one of those matches was against Randy Orton, except the EC which was against 5 other guys (and even there it still came down to Bryan VS Orton). And the Rumble was to earn a shot at Randy Orton.
ReplyDeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, Luger kind of looks like the alien in that dude's head from Men in Black, and Bryan looks like a goat.
ReplyDeleteToo bad Orton is so boring and uncharismatic to make it really work.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say that, he's pretty much a prototypical upper midcard heel. Problem is they fucked with him enough that the crowd likes him, and his style makes him a pretty shitty face.
ReplyDeleteThat explains all the Survivor Series references in the commentary, and why the Bret/DiBiase match from the 12/22 show (which I have on the Best of MSG Blu-Ray) is actually a Bret/Moutie match.
ReplyDelete20 minutes until it's me, WWE Network, Vitamin Water, Giadarnos, and a waft of herbal smoke I totally didn't inhale while on break.
ReplyDeleteBryan is a man out of time. Put him in the NWA circa 1984 and he would have been Flair's biggest rival.
ReplyDeleteI agree he's not the ideal guy (although I think there have been problems way beyond Orton). If your scenario was starting fresh right now and Bryan was in the spot he was in before Summerslam, I'd be all for it, but starting it now (or close to now) after Bryan was already screwed over for 7 months by Orton and HHH, only to switch it to Cena now screwing him for a year, it's just too long in my opinion. A year is about the maximum you can do because people mostly expect these big payoffs at WM. That's also why people were so pissed at the Rumble despite Bryan not being advertised, I think...WWE often puts surprise entrants in, and after screwing Bryan for months, Wrestlemania was the big PPV that people thought might finally be Bryan triumphing. Instead it's not as of now, and people got upset. Waiting yet another year is too much at this point I think.
ReplyDeleteThe "ledge-ond"
ReplyDeleteGotta love dusty promos
NFL is getting a billion dollars under the curent system with local blackouts, they don't want to mess with that.
ReplyDeleteAnd I always felt like going back to watch old shows was uniquely wrestling. I wouldn't want to go back and re-watch Eagles games since the drama is in not knowing whether they will win or lose, not the performance.
Dog collar match time. Yeah I'm stoked
ReplyDeleteSpot on the card does matter and always has. The top guys have always been more free to speak their mind than the midcarders, and Ziggler was already getting depushed before the Orton angle started (which was allegedly what he spoke his mind about that initially pissed people off).
ReplyDeleteMy biggest problem is that I care so little for all these people because they've been written so weakly that it scarcely matters who fights who at wrestlemania. So I'm proposing to set the clock back to zero at start over.
ReplyDeleteI don't see Davey as a worthy canidate as a single; Haku either. Maybe the Bulldogs as a team but they don't induct (m)any teams.
ReplyDeletePretty sure there isn't such a thing. GAB was a tour and not one show. That tape with Apter is it. Plenty of Boogie Woogie Man to go around though.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever see the Piper's Pit when Valentine and Piper agreed to settle their differences? An ultra rare occurrence of the WWF acknowledging a feud outside their company.
ReplyDeleteWatching the Bunkhouse Stampede for the first time ever. Opener is tag wrestler Bobby Eation (US tag champion in fact) v. TV champion Nikita Koloff.
ReplyDeleteNo, have you?
ReplyDeleteAnd personally, until static starts, I'm thinking this leak's just the idea that maaaaaybe Chicago won't go nuclear if they think Punk's in the last segment, so give something to Meltzer. What can I say, I'm primarily negative and conspiratorial, heh.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the "new world", same as the old one.
ReplyDeleteHeel turn after months of buildup. We shoulda seen it coming. Russia is the Ric Flair of world powers.
ReplyDeleteIt's way too late for that.
ReplyDeleteVince, The Brain and Lord Alfred.
ReplyDeleteUnless Punk walked out as an attempt to improve conditions for everyone, then the union comparison is completely invalid
ReplyDeleteThe only issue I have is Muta's lack of mic skills. Gary Hart is NOT going to be a face manager, so who speaks for Muta?
ReplyDeleteIt's more complicated than the news wants to make it to be. They got played during the "Olympic Truce". Honestly they've been kind of reserved.
ReplyDeleteThe latest I've seen "officially" is that should be fixed by Monday's Raw.
ReplyDeleteFar too long, you're right. And I've long been on record, biggest stage, biggest way possible for your most over guy. It never seemed so hard to grasp before this year.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the problem is blowing Flair/Funk off at the Clash, it's that Flair pinned Funk in the cage at Havoc. If Funk wins there, then you can set up Flair/Funk for the title at New York Knockout, do something screwy there and then, finally, do the I Quit at Starrcade with Flair going over.
ReplyDeleteSting either beats Muta straight up to get his TV belt back, or wins an IronMan (with Muta/Luger/someone else?) to get established as the next guy.
There was only one match on the card.
ReplyDeleteSavage v Roberts. This Tuesday in Texas.
ReplyDeleteI say that I think people are allowed to quit their jobs.
ReplyDeleteHow does that make me incappable of rational or logic exactly?
Though he would be saving the entire main event. Because if he's not there, the crowd shits all over it.
ReplyDeleteThe ONLY other person who could do it is Bryan and frankly, going over HHH makes more sense storylinewise. Dude has been screwed over by HHH and the Authority ALL YEAR. WrestleMania is where you settle feuds.
And you sir are the winner!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't go that far but I agree he's not the break-out superstar that the IWC has always wanted him to be, but then, no one ever is really. Punk's probably the closest to actually rising to the unmeetable expectations we lay on these poor people because we've decided they're "good workers."
ReplyDeleteMess is the word, the amount of money this is going to cost will be staggering, and there's no real government in place. The European conservatives didn't learn a damn thing from Iraq. There won't be any real shooting, but there will be plenty of financial assrape.
ReplyDeletei don't want to see punk in the main event
ReplyDeletei don't care about punk in the main event
i want to see dbry in the main event
Sooo....has anyone relayed the story JR told on O&A about Vince shitting his pants and then walking out live on TV yet?
ReplyDeleteBryan is a small, unimposing, ugly guy that doesnt translate well as champion to the mainstrem media and casual/non fan. Avg guy feels he cant easily take bryan in a fight. Batista is getting belt at WM regardless, they have plans/stroylines following WM with batista already laid out and they will not divert from that no matter how much the hardcore fans complain.
ReplyDeleteFans are gonna turn on Punk once they get outside of Chicago...
ReplyDeleteThe goof of it is, Punk's big bitch is that the biggest face in the company doesn't get in the main event, and well, if that's how it should go...then this year it shouldn't be Punk.
ReplyDeleteI want to see Kamala in the main event. He never got his proper due.
ReplyDeleteQOTD 104: What the FUCK Stranger in the Alps. You had one Job! ONE JOB.
ReplyDeleteIt's what's best for business.
ReplyDelete"Flair pinned Funk in the cage at Havoc."
ReplyDeleteThere were no pinfalls in the match, Gary Hart threw in the towel...
EXACTLY! This is another example of short-sighted WWE thinking.
ReplyDeleteLob a few cruise missiles into Moscow. That'll learn 'em.
ReplyDeleteYeah of it's not Daniel Bryan people are going to flip
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is if they wanted to they could destroy the Russians with a shot being fired but theres hundreds of billions of laundered dollars at stake for a handful of european and US banks. And if we wanted shots fired without doing any of that stuff ourselves we could start funding the Chechens. Might start a world war though.
ReplyDeleteSend in Sgt. Slaughter and General Adnan with a few scuds
ReplyDeletePrepare the Democracy Bomb.
ReplyDeleteAnd now it has Batista! Even better!
ReplyDeleteI heard Kevin Kelly tell something similar to that on a podcast. Is it the one where he shit himself, had to cut a 12 minute tv promo, did it while he 2 was essentially sitting in shit, and then chased Briscoe around the back with his shit underwear?
ReplyDeletewell no but I did once set up a few boards and then dove through them. And once set up two mattress's and jumped off the balcony of my parents house, Mankind Hell in the Cell style. This was during the Attitude era obviously.
ReplyDeleteLast time we funded Islamic Rebels that went great.
ReplyDeleteReally this doesn't have alot to do with the US. They can whistle and walk away. Why Germany wants to take on this moneypit surprises me, which how much they work over the Southern European countries, those countries should be pissed.
Meanwhile, the Russian soliders can act like Ted Dibiase and hand out $100 bills, because it's not like Ukraine can pay anyone. There's already been defections.
Meanwhile, in Vancouver, Roberto Luongo is sitting on a bench playing the Daniel Bryan role.
ReplyDeleteCompletely missed that...my sarcasm detector sucks today.
ReplyDeleteYeah who the fuck thought Dirty Duck Slater should be a plucky good guy?
ReplyDeleteBut even before Punk was the top guy he is today, he was still freely speaking his mind and being an ass.
ReplyDeleteOfficerFarva has gotta be pissed. Being a dick to his company and his co-workers got CM Punk into the Wrestlemania main event, validating everything that he did.
ReplyDeleteWow I had to pause starrcade 83 to move my car. Beautiful day outside today, just amazing! Oh well back to the living room and watching wrestling
ReplyDeleteIf it's what I'm thinking of the TV title had a time limit. Even if you won the match after that you didn't win the title.
ReplyDeleteThey were already getting heat for the anti-Gay stuff, so they had no choice but to hold off on the invasion.
ReplyDeleteI'm outraged this doesn't have more up votes right n
ReplyDeleteKamala vs Zack Gowen.
ReplyDeleteI guess we see lovefest as two different things.
ReplyDeleteNobody was singing his praises as far as what I saw.
I am quitting the Blog. Scott posted an E-mail of mine a few weeks ago but he didn't post the one after that so I am quitting. I am also coming back to to the blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat site was that quoted on shit if is fixed by raw it'll be 1am here! So can't watch any thing til late tues bummer!
ReplyDeleteThat along with Slater being the "Rebel" with the Confederate flag patches on his jean jacket in mostly Northeast arena shows. That deal was doomed from day one.
ReplyDelete"Everybody's got a price..."
ReplyDeleteIsn't there still an "Olympic Truce"? The Paralympics just started.
ReplyDeleteHost nation can't go and invade someone during the Olympics. Even if it's a walk-in invasion like this where those people actually want them there. Not to mention, it's the end of winter so they can't fuck with the gas. No coincidences here
ReplyDeleteWonder if they'll show old superstars? Would love to see the macho man cobra incident!
ReplyDeleteI'd really prefer Bryan in the title match and Punk vs HHH at this point. Bryan's storyline since Summerslam has been building towards winning the title and I don't see why they wouldn't want him winning the title in the final match and leading a big 'Yes' chant. It would be the best WM finish in ages.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think Punk would be much better at dealing with HHH's promos in the build up to a big match. HHH would inevitably make his 'semi-shoot', sarcastic comments and most of his opponents don't usually respond in kind but I'm 99% sure that Punk would.
Zack Ryder ;)
ReplyDeleteDamn piper beat him to death with that chain
ReplyDeleteNever begrudged him trying to get a better spot. Said he went about it like an ass. End doesn't justify the means here
ReplyDeleteI call bullshit.
ReplyDeleteOh shit hammer jumped him!!!! This is violent
ReplyDeleteOh and wow does gordan solie suck
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Better for him to job to HHH with a smile on his face.
ReplyDeleteThe squeaky wheel gets the grease. You're kidding yourself if you think that the real business world works otherwise.
We'll have your new theme music ready for when you return.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the rebranding of this site as "YankeesHoganTripleFan's Words of Wisdom" next month.
ReplyDeleteZack Ryder doesn't have a leg to stand on.
ReplyDeleteI think he gets more respect than he should. No one would get caught dead taking photos with Saddam Hussein. I guess it's because he's like a real-life bond villian

ReplyDeleteWasn't the guy who replaced him in a similar role a while back?
ReplyDeleteYeah i saw the pictures of those riot police being sworn in as Russian citizens and reports of paid protesters. And like I said, might start a world war. Germany and the west are interested because they just received some leases on gas fields inside the Ukraine.And they've always loved fucking with Russia 1.Loan Ukraine 10 to 20 billion 2. Strip Ukraine of resources 3.Profit. I believe the reasoning goes something like that. With Ukraine moblizing what they can of their military i wouldnt be surprised to see Russia do what they did with Georgia and laugh at the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteDid you get hurt or anything? I used to watch all those 20/20 type specials on backyard wrestling and the like that aired around that time and said "no, don't think I want to try any of that"
ReplyDeleteIts on the network if you just search Jake Roberts or randy savage
ReplyDeleteIt was never been confirmed, not even reported he was supposed to job to hhh.
ReplyDeletePunk is a 1% er. He's a guy that plays by different rules because he's at the very top of his industry. He has skills that only a handful of people in the country has. You're kidding yourself if you think people cam quit their job on 1 days notice and then come back in 4 weeks in the real world.
Eddie Lack? No he's just a rookie.
ReplyDeleteAlthough maybe not. Now I can't find it but I'm sure I saw it initially
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking back a couple years or so... either the year they went to the Finals or the next year.
ReplyDeleteOh Cory Schneider. He wasn't really held back though. He stole Lu's job fair and square.
ReplyDeleteEurope can't (won't) fight. That's why nothing will come of this, and it Putin goes past the places he can take without a fight, it's his money (literally, since all of this money is his) going down the shitter.
ReplyDeleteThe difference between this and Georgia is 1) the Georgians didn't want the Russians and 2) either the President of Georgia was a complete fucktard, or some US politician (I'm looking at you, John McCain) sold him 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag about help. That was a complete asskicking
Costas, Fox news, Buchanans piece. I realize all of these people are fucking idiots. But still. And during the Olympics there were a ton of stories of him showing up around Sochi and athletes taking pictures with him.
ReplyDeleteLive world tour surfing broadcast for any surfing fans out there: http://www.aspworldtour.com/events/mct/639/quiksilver-pro-gold-coast/live
ReplyDeletePeople like Punk get to be 1%ers by taking risks. You're never going to get to the top by playing by "the rules". The rules are there to keep people without initiative from getting to the top.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly why D-Bry doesn't make it to the top despite being the most over guy in the company. He shows exactly where the glass ceiling is for those that play by the rules.
Of course, if one is content with being a mid-carder in life, then you are right; playing by the rules is the way to go.
Shawn and Taker did their thing, everyone said, "Nope, can't touch that." and the show came to an end.
ReplyDeleteThat's kind of clever, I like that.
ReplyDeleteOf course I also liked Bill Watts' "Rules' in a theoretical sense too.
I don't even remember this. This must have been the least hyped big match ever
ReplyDeleteTook the advice and went with ONS 06. Rey vs. Sabu? Whaaaa?
ReplyDeleteNah...I knew enough to take everything with my back. I have actually been hurt far worse fighting waves in the ocean, (its not fun unless you have at least two injuries by day 3 of vacation.)
ReplyDeleteAlso Edge's theme music is awesome, and missed. Remember when he had Rob Zombie?
ReplyDeletePaul Ellering, maybe?
ReplyDeleteIts not like all of the Ukraine is jumping in bed with the Russians . Just the eastern third from what ive read. I tend to think it was the shithead running Georgia. Not defending McCain, hes also a shithead.
ReplyDeleteGood...Good. I demand a remix of Enter Sandman, (for somewhat obvious reasons) and the Overture for the Phantom of the Opera, (because it's awesome and no one saw that coming)
ReplyDeleteI have spent more time reading about this PPV and Terry Funk than I have spent watching this PPV and watching Terry Funk.
ReplyDeleteYes, risks are 1 thing. Acting like an asshole is another. Strawman argument
ReplyDeleteAnd playing the role of Beulah, Kitty from Arrested Development.

"Fuck her up Beulah fuck her up!" chants. This show rocks.
ReplyDeletePutin isn't going anywhere near Kiev, he can't hold that. That's my point, the west didn't have much of a plan for this and pretty much just broke the country in two. The parts that are pro-Russia are REALLY pro-Russia.
ReplyDeleteCrimea is for all intents and purposes part of Russia, but got moved in some paper move because the Soviets thought Communism would rule the world, so who cares about demographics! That was some world class British mapmaking there.
Cory took Luongo's job fair and square, and then he sadly took my main man Marty's job fair and square. And now Marty wants to leave, waaaaah...this is even worse than Bryan not being in the title match.
ReplyDeleteSo Jeter's gonna become a Steinbrenner, Hogan's gonna buy a baseball team, and HHH is gonna wrap himself in the flag?
ReplyDeleteWell....that gimmick ended abruptly.
ReplyDeleteSee, I just rewatched Money in the Bank 2011, and all I can think at the end is "Hey Vince! Say goodbye to THIS! Because it's the last time you'll ever see it!"
ReplyDeleteThe crowd shitting all over the 619 made me feel warm and fuzzy for a minute.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was the first story I remembered reading that, Vince chasing around Brisco with shit filled underwear to make him vomit, as Brisco easily vomits (not that being chased with shit filled underwear isn't gross) and Vince finds it hilarious to cause it.
ReplyDelete"This wasn't a good idea, I don't think I wanna be here" That's classic shit. The only good dialog in wrestling I can remember.
ReplyDeleteI knew you couldn't stay away.
ReplyDeleteI like the 619 / West Coast Pop! What did he do in ECW as a finish?
ReplyDeleteJust turn Punk heel on Bryan the night after Wrestlemania. Hopefully with Bryan as Champion.
ReplyDeleteCory is the future of this business. Thus he'll be buried in the mid-card 6 months from now.
ReplyDeleteI'll take that....as long as much like HBK I get to sing "you are my fire. my one desire. believe when I say...I want it that way" myself
ReplyDeleteWe'll get back to you on that request.
ReplyDeleteGroovy! Far out!

ReplyDeleteYeah. I'm a big Punk fan, so I don't want to see him booed, but...I can't imagine it won't happen if he gets jammed in the main event and not Bryan.
ReplyDeleteJason Albert? Why not just let him be called "Albert" and be done with it?
