WWE Talent Told to Come up With Names For Their Finishing Moves
There is a push for everyone in the WWE to come up with names for their finishers. Apparently, Daniel Bryan came up with the name "knee plus" for his finishing move months ago but no one in the company has used that on television. Even still, they are asking wrestlers to come up with names.

Wade Barrett Update
Due to his promo at the WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony, Barrett's stock has went up a lot in the company. His promo was unscripted too.

Dude, the bull hammer rocks. Barrett's certainly making it work AND in short order. The crowd's already getting behind it.
ReplyDeleteOh shit...can you imagine Punk fans' reaction to calling it that?
ReplyDeleteYeah it's not legal and it's kind of stupid because how is paying for that really any different than paying for cable/satellite?
ReplyDeleteCause you look like youve seen better days!
ReplyDeleteYour mom, fuckhead.
ReplyDeleteScott, time to break out the banhammer!
ReplyDeleteOnly for him to come back with another ip, but thats enough for today!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously dude, go back to 411. This is a troll free zone.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not cool was Verne not capitalizing on that appearence by putting the belt on him immediately after that appearence. How stupid do you have to be to look at that appearence (name one other AWA guy that ever got an interview with Johnny freaking Carson) and think "Eh, I'm still not sold on him getting the belt, let's 50/50 him until we run him out of here"?
ReplyDeleteDirecTV still doesn't have the balls to carry Epix so fuck them.
ReplyDeleteIs that for Prime or is that just HBO GO being available on the new Kindle Fire TV box? I have both HBO GO through a Dish Network subscription and Amazon Prime (mainly for free shipping but they do have the entire run of Veronica Mars so that's a plus), I'm curious as to what the deal is so I don't feel like I'm wasting money on one or both.
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely clear on what your question is asking, so I'll just throw out what I know-
ReplyDeleteYou need the cable subscription for HBO, or you need access to someone else's- I use my parents HBO account to setup hbo go on my Roku box. as you're aware, Go has most every you'd want from HBO, outside of some comedy specials.
Amazon Prime recently reached a deal for some of the older HBO content for their streaming deal. it's not as extensive- no Game of Thrones or Veep or True Detective right now- but it'll get you the completed big names, like The Wire and Sopranos.
I honestly think Amazon Prime is the best value streaming service, and that's before the free shipping comes into play. If you don't mind being a season back, you can keep up on Justified, The Americans and all that good stuff there.
I'm sure he's already been booted, the posts come up as Guest.
ReplyDeleteAnd this isn't his first banning, either. He made a post in another thread similar to another quick-booted poster.
Savage's outfit with the red/black colour scheme and the RAW logo was incredible.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good deal for Amazon, especially if Arli$$, Dream On and Tales From The Crypt are added to the deal.
ReplyDeletewww.wiziwig.tv - then download Acestream.
ReplyDeleteDone.
Another TJ: Meltzer is saying Styles is a shoe in to take the IWGP title from Okada this weekend, which would make him the first gaijin champ since Brock Lesnar from 2005.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they did, sadly.
ReplyDeleteSteve Corino just called Tajiri a little slant eyed bastard. The HHH/Booker T angle said that was too racist.
ReplyDeleteThat makes the ROH/New Japan show so much less interesting.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, seen that one. At least they're consistent in their overkill.
ReplyDeleteI remember the back of the Apter Mags used to have ads for "Slant Eyed Slaughter" VHS tapes. Interesting times, those 80s and 90s.
ReplyDeleteExcept Austin winning KOTR was a last minute fix, his promo got him over... and then he jobbed until January, but got over because he was such a great promo.
ReplyDeleteDepends. Bryan was so good he smashed through the glass ceiling. Punk too, Mysterio as well.
ReplyDeleteLOL... I can't catch a break on here today
ReplyDeleteOk, good to know in case it comes up during a bar trivia game.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing about Jeff Jarrett's finisher (The STroke?). I always thought someone was doing a move on him.
ReplyDeleteForgot about this part. Was Superstars still the main show or was that Raw at this point?
ReplyDeleteBig E using the Bossman Slam, especially if he added a 180 turn to it, would be solid. It's a good finisher because it can also be used anytime as a counter. The beauty of a good finisher is it can happen at anytime.
ReplyDeletemake sure you check out the penis plex. i forget who suplexes who, but when flair and nikita land, nikita's koloff pops out, and tommy young sticks it back in
ReplyDeletei still say taker now needs 2 more matches so they can end in draws
ReplyDeleteSo, I have to ask......where does the OP live where an antenna doesnt work?
ReplyDeleteI have that problem here, but I am up in the mountains of Colorado where the signals are blocked.
If Anderson comes on the show and beats tosh to a pulp, that's the first episode I'll have watched in years.
ReplyDeleteIs this real? I can't tell anymore if people are kidding on the web.
ReplyDeleteit's real. not sure if wwe edits it out on their copy (or if they even know), but it's definitely on the old THV version. it's not hard to miss since it happens out of a suplex into a pin attempt
ReplyDelete^ This. Always bugged me that the Public Enemy-Gangstas could smash each other toasters and a whole host of other items and a schoolboy would end the match.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely.
ReplyDeleteFirst, congrats to YFL. He's now the first search result for "Tommy Young Penisplex". Second, it's 100% true. I'm going through a radio interview trying to find when Tommy tells the story, but here's an (admittedly fuzzy) clip of the incident.

And, since we're on Nikita: Nikita Koloff beheads David Crockett:

Watched WM 12 outside of the main event because I didn't have the time to sit and watch the 65 minute match straight through yet and the undercard for that ppv is pretty damn good. Diesel vs Taker was surprisingly good, Vega vs Austin was very good (Heel Austin is the shit), the opening six man tag was decent enough, and some of the antics in the Piper vs Goldust match is pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteIt's a WM a lot of people don't bring up when talking about great manias but this one IMO is a great Mania.
Makes me cry as a Met fan because he was picked I think one spot before the Mets would've taken him.
ReplyDelete"ECW always had a hard time building to a finish"
ReplyDeleteall foreplay
Yeah the undercard to the show was fine. Too bad Bret and Shawn had to be such man children in the main.
ReplyDeleteRaw and Superstars were the only shows that mattered. Challenge was basically dead in from 1994 through it's final episode in August '95, and All-American and Mania were 99% recaps and highlights from Raw and Superstars.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet Roman Reigns gets everyone to believe in that Superman punch of his. (Well, except me. I think he needs a different finisher to complete the package.)
ReplyDeleteBarrett desperately needs a better finisher. It's too contrived.
good idea, but I'd use someone like Barrett instead. Barrett would be perfect with a wicked DDT- he's got that height to pull it off.
ReplyDelete*insert Rainmaker comment here*
ReplyDeleteHmm<
ReplyDeleteIf Cesaro's Neutraliser wasn't so awesome, he'd be a superb candidate to use it.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Punk break it out against Cena in one of their matches?
ReplyDeleteI rank that as second, behind the Doomsday Device
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteThe Killswitch is hands down the stupidest and most contrived finisher ever. Always felt Christian could have got over better with a more snappy finisher.
ReplyDeleteAlso, was it Shane Helms that used the Vertebreaker? I'll admit that's contrived as fuck too, but a great looking move. Give it to Big E or even Rusev.
Literally everything just wrote is wrong
ReplyDeleteIf everyone sold it like JTG, it'd be one if the better looking contemporary finishers.
ReplyDeleteQuite why they introduced the fucking puppet is beyond me, though.
Remember the time when a sock puppet literally helped Mankind make millions of dollars in WWF?
ReplyDeleteReigns and Barrett look so much better. Big Show, who to my understanding has some boxing training under his belt....throws a very girly looking punch that is quite "wrestling-y". It's terrible, god awful. And I've seen him do the chokeslam recently so I know he can.
ReplyDeleteWatching Survivor Series 2000. It's an awful, awful show. The American Badass gimmick has not aged well. Taker is just ... lame.
ReplyDeleteThat was my initial thought when he started using it - but it simply seems like a stupid and lazy rehash.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, Mick was massively over and bought as a legit (if only occasional) main eventer and title contender when Mr. Socko was introduced. It came at a time when he was on the cusp of turning into a megaface, and helped cement that turn. Santino is over purely as a comedy performer and will never go beyond that point.
Watched the Degeneration X PPV yesterday. Yikes, what a rough show.
ReplyDeleteRusev. That would be pretty awesome
ReplyDeleteYeah, the F-5 is just spinning and dropping a guy. It doesn't emphasize Brock's strength and really doesn't look devastating at all. Sort of an odd finish for a guy like him
ReplyDeleteHe belongs in a tag team
ReplyDeleteI dug the superplex-to-splash combo that Power & Glory used.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. The majority of the time the GTS doesn't look like it comes even close to a knockout blow
ReplyDeleteThat thing was awesome.
ReplyDeletethe ones I talk about are (like the mentioned Magine).
ReplyDeleteYeah, Santino won't be a main eventer with his current gimmick, but the statute of limitations is up on copying the Socko gimmick, and it's been updated for the PG Era so it's not a straight copy. Plus, I think Miss Cobra is very cute!
ReplyDeleteThe only, ONLY, time the GTS looked effective to me was when he delivered it to Big E in their match the night Langston turned face. The reason it worked was because Langston sold it properly and his feet hadn't touched the mat by the time the knee connected. It looked wicked. Every other time, the guy is on his feet when the knee hits and, meh.
ReplyDelete...
ReplyDeleteYeah, no. After KOTR he was still in lower-mid card stuff until his match with Bret (which he lost, and was only there because Bret asked for it.) It wasn't until January that he actually won a pushed match on PPV (and even that was overturned.)
