Hey don't rag on Watts too much. His STF was way better than Cena's.
ReplyDeleteWould make sense that they would have LARPing so late in the game, Vince must have just seem Role Models.
ReplyDeleteMy cat has a better STF than Cena
ReplyDeleteThat Countdown show was decent, but somehow the Outsides were No. 10 and Santino Marella was No. 7, so ...
ReplyDeleteThe brands need to be back.
ReplyDeleteI find no fault in what he said. His honesty and lack of PC bullshit is refreshing.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Flair can help bring about a new Horsemen-type stable, with himself posing as the JJ Dillon guy. It can start with The Miz, then they can bring in ummmm....uhhhhhh....hmmmmm.......fuck it, I got nothing to work with here. It would just end up being the JOB Squad anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened?
ReplyDeleteRyder Miz Ziggler Sandow.
ReplyDeleteThe Snore Horsemen
ReplyDeleteThe Poor Horsemen.
ReplyDeleteWay to shoot down Ric's actually decent idea, WWE.
ReplyDeleteThat would fit with Flair, anyway.
ReplyDeleteWWE is REALLY missing the boat on ACH
ReplyDeleteHas a manager ever pulled off the angle of turning a jobber into a star? Like someone with no credibility.
ReplyDeleteWell, if WWE is serious about it and build it right like the Shield...
ReplyDeleteMiz
Ziggler
Ryback
Curtis Axel
Miz can talk, Ziggler can wrestler, Ryback is the muscle, Axel is the guy who takes the pins.
Ziggler and Flair would be awful.
ReplyDeleteWell, Heyman did for awhile.
ReplyDeleteExplain...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Also, Romero's really charismatic and Strong's a solid hand, so they're missing out three-fold.
ReplyDeletetime for me to start looking for flair in town. i'll just walk around offering free drinks. his radar will go off eventually
ReplyDeleteThat would be a perfect group.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more. I love it. He's gotta know there was gonna be backlash from something like that. I personally have 0 issue with it
ReplyDeleteb/c cult says so, that's why
ReplyDeletedon't you realize by now that that's how it works around here?
Ziggler doesn't need it and Flair is a parody of himself. Plus their personalities would clash.
ReplyDeleteWell...yeah.
ReplyDeleteHaving Axel to take the pins sounds like planning to fail, no?
ReplyDeletewell, we see steve lombardi on every.wwe.dvd.release.
ReplyDeleteso heenan musta done something right
He shittalked Total Divas and threatened to kick Randy Orton's ass for real, both to the media. He's a hothead with no brain/mouth filter.
ReplyDeleteHe's also been off the wall on Twitter, posting all sorts of decidedly non-PG, non-company-line, non-kayfabe things.
He was just Cena's TV program.
ReplyDeleteYep, those things may not matter to us, but they matter a lot to such a big company. Being an Anti Authority rebel can be cool as a wrestling gimmick, but it's not wise in real life.
ReplyDelete"what a waste: miz"
ReplyDeleteftfy
flair is probably wasted right now, too
ReplyDeleteRight. Even if they are just JTTS, they are still much better hands than what they have now
ReplyDeletePut a dollar bill on a piece of string.
ReplyDeleteI find Romero particularly galling. They're about due for another wrestler of Hispanic descent with a propensity for dancing.
ReplyDeletereminds me of when peter tried to capture james woods on family
ReplyDelete"ooh! piece of candy. ooh! piece of candy. ooh! piece of candy"
Hope they give Matt Cross another shot on Tough Enough.
ReplyDeleteNot exactly. If WWE is pushing them correctly, then Axel will be taking the pin from guys like Triple H, Cena, the headliners. Axel can be the guy who eats all the finishers when a smozz goes down.
ReplyDeleteNobody on the Shield is the job guy, but that's a rare thing. Most teams and/or groups have a weak link. Axel is the poor fellow who hasn't stand out at all, so he gets the shit job.
Lol.
ReplyDeleteWHY IS ACH WITH THE DECADE?!
ReplyDeleteno seriously, that's what the announcers were asking a couple of weeks ago. i need to catch up on RoH
Supposedly they're sticking mainly with unused NXT talent.
ReplyDeleteHe admitted his prejudices and bigotry in an interview on ESPN.
ReplyDeleteroddy has no personality whatsoever. even more bland that lance storm
ReplyDeletei honestly wouldn't be surprised if they considered him way too bland even to help
Unused NXT talent? They are already under contract. What's the point then?
ReplyDeletequestion: will wwe ever train people from the ground up (on a large scale, not just TE)? or is everyone they're going to take going to have some experience?
ReplyDeleteTo bring back a recognizable name show to the network to boost subscribers without having to pay extra?
ReplyDeleteCuban can handle the backlash.
ReplyDeleteA more bland Lance Storm? Is that even possible?
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't give a fuck.
ReplyDelete:sighs:
ReplyDeleteWWE.......
yes, his name is roddy strong
ReplyDeletegreat in the ring, sooooo not there as a personality
unless you count florida state d-bag frat boy
"Flair is scheduled to head to Pittsburgh in order to undergo medical tests"
ReplyDeleteDOCTOR : "Sorry Mr. Flair, but the results are in and it turns out you've been dead for the last 5 years."
FLAIR : "Great, somebody tell my tax lawyer!"
Yea iv kind of been off the ROH train since last year so im not sure
ReplyDeletePWG gets all my attention at this moment
When did he threaten Orton? Because that just make me a fan of the guy.
ReplyDeleteHe's good in the ring, but nowhere near the class of the guys he came up with (Joe, Daniels, Aries, etc)
ReplyDeleteWould you trust Flair after 5 drinks?
ReplyDeleteIs Drake Younger getting a ref job? Don't Remember if he got signed or not
ReplyDeleteStop downvoting me, Mark Cuban.
ReplyDeleteNot if he has to pay for them.
ReplyDeleteHe is a ref from what I checked out.
ReplyDeleteOh god no. His *idea* was decent, but we all know he'd fuck it up some how.
ReplyDeleteIf you're so bland that it's actually your gimmick (Steve Blackman would be another example), then being bland can be a good thing.
ReplyDeleteStop downvoting me, Roddy Strong.
ReplyDeleteHe was a referee in NXT this past weekend
ReplyDeleteJust saw the report, yeah he'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteHe signed. There was a picture on twitter of him down there is a ref outfit. He looked weird. Can't remember his NXT name, he kept the Drake part.
ReplyDeleteMeh. I don't really see anything that special in him.
ReplyDeleteYoung Draker
ReplyDelete9 more Jef.
ReplyDeleteDOCTOR: "We just have to run one final test, excuse me."
ReplyDeleteNURSE: ""It's OK, he's not paying for this visit. The WWE is."
Ok gotcha. A shame he wont be a wrestler as he has gotten VERY good in the ring in the last 2-3 years after fading away from the deathmatch stuff
ReplyDeleteHe should be super sensitive (especially to the women) and like to sing a lot.
ReplyDeleteIn the pic, he looked like he was in 50's.
ReplyDeleteI hope they do some type of "Danny Davis" angle with Drake Younger at some point.
ReplyDeleteWhy people still do the death match stuff I'll never know, it needs to be about ring work now. Sorry to those who miss ECW.
ReplyDeleteOh really? I hadn't noticed.
ReplyDelete#nowitsonly8more
Here he is. He changed his name to Drake Wuertz. http://www.wrestlingheads.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/20140510-111217.jpg
ReplyDeleteStill don't get the whole Sandow thing. They gave him the briefcase for nothing. I think he could be salvaged if they played it straight as a mean dude who's smarter than everyone else.
ReplyDeleteThey've ruined the whole briefcase concept by making the winner job all the time. It's stale.
ReplyDeleteIf Tough Enough is more a behind the scenes look at life in NXT I much rather have that then another competition where the competitors wind up being giant busts.
ReplyDeleteDefine star. Like a nobody becoming a champion?
ReplyDeleteHe's not with the Decade.
ReplyDelete1. Flair is a liability at this point. Just keep him off TV.
ReplyDelete2. "Card subject to change" but we'lll still advertise DB anyway
Curtis Axel.
ReplyDeleteAgree with number 1. The road is not a good place for Ric Flair at this point in his life.
ReplyDeleteWell it's an escape an a way to be "a quick wrestler" for those who are shit in the ring
ReplyDeleteBut will people ask for refunds if Bryan isn't on the card?
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to assign a handler to him just to make sure he shows up to events now.
ReplyDeleteYea he somehow aged 25 years in the last 10
ReplyDeleteHow about Kofi?
ReplyDeleteNo. Punk was driving HIM around.
ReplyDeleteAt this point the answer is DDP.
They should have Evolution pay off the refs to have them beat the Shield at Payback.
ReplyDeleteAny gifs saved up or "with a tear in my eye, this is the greatest moment of my life" speeches saved up when you pass Jobber?
ReplyDeleteUnlike past champs, I don't think there's anyone you've pissed off around here. It's like...you're the people's champ.
Yeah, DDP seems to be the miracle man at this point.
ReplyDeleteall the time???? like twice in the span of 9 years?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll pass him, because he'll see this and fire off 1000 posts.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned far this too long after the fact yesterday, but I am NOT happy that "Wind Beneath Our Ring" has been removed from Stone Cold Appreciation night, as has "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amoré" from the Green Frog Grocery fight.
ReplyDeleteNazis.
Just spam the last few.
ReplyDeleteOh, I thought he meant DDP could drive him in his pink cadillac from WM 6.
ReplyDeleteThis one should actually tie me with him.
ReplyDeleteThreadjack: Get thee behind me jobber, for the moment got the #1 spot.
ReplyDeleteThe new champion!
ReplyDeleteJust have the man become part of Adam Rose's entourage. After a couple weeks of Flair bopping around, trying not to be a Lemon, Rose calls him out, tells Flair that Flair IS a Lemon and kicks him out.
ReplyDeleteFlair finds a new heel to take Rose out, story proceeds from there.
I would like to that the beautiful asses of the Divas and knockouts specifically Brooke Tessmacher's for comprising 60% of my post count)
ReplyDeleteYep, funny how you made it after you started to do this around a year ago.
ReplyDeleteThat way no one can complain about me flooding the board.
ReplyDeleteI'll give you 2 months before you're up there.
Took you long enough.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the same amount as well, probably will be in the top 5 sometime next week.
ReplyDeleteLike I said, Jobber wasn't giving this up without a fight.
ReplyDeleteThank my job for being boring as fuck plus the non-wrestling conversation has been MUCH better.
Brooke's Ass will be the one with the #1 spot!
ReplyDeleteMazel tov!
ReplyDeleteFlair has never been a compelling manager, and now he's a rambling drunk.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's true, just be prepared to win the #1 spot about 4 more times this week.
ReplyDelete60% seems a bit low, I would put it more at 75%.
ReplyDeleteAs long as I did it once, I'm cool with it.
ReplyDeleteRandom: Looking at random Vader matches and I come across a tag match he had at the end of 92 at a house show. Vader and Chono vs Sting and Muta. I really want to see that match.
ReplyDeleteI thought I told you to fall back young'n lol
ReplyDeleteAnd the fun begins!
ReplyDelete....well THAT didn't last long. LOL
ReplyDeleteTHREAD PADDING POST TO KEEP JOBBER OUT OF THE NUMBER 1 SPOT: I think I'll have a cheesesteak for lunch today.
ReplyDeleteDoctor: "Mr. Flair, I hate to tell you but you have SUPER AIDS.
ReplyDeleteFlair: "The good news is that means that baby CM Punk has Super AIDS too! Wooooo!"
From where?
ReplyDeleteAny condiments on that cheesesteak?
ReplyDeleteProbably Charley's.
ReplyDeleteAlways got to go with mayo.
ReplyDeletelol. You are the master at padding the post count.
ReplyDeleteI proudly job to Jef Vinson today. Awesome long time veteran poster, with great tastes in wrestling, music, women, and film. Cool dude, cool poster. Great #1. Welcome to the small but elite club my friend.
ReplyDeleteOr in the immortal words of Q "You got the juice now man"
They have a good teriyaki chicken cheesesteak sandwich.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm just trying to help Jef.
ReplyDeleteOh, good choice.
ReplyDeleteHe's also in favor of a master race that does not include Asians as well as having a master huge cock!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.charleyssteakery.com/food/#!/chicken
ReplyDeleteIt's going to feel really, really weird if you decide to take a vacation.
ReplyDeleteAanndd, the poster count circle jerk is resuming, thus ruining what was a fun thread. Check with y'all later!
ReplyDelete*top 5 handshake*
ReplyDeleteI truly know what power is. That poswer lies within the ass of Brooke Tessmacher who comprised 60 - 70% of my posts.
This sounds a lot like Mark Henry's retirement speech.....
ReplyDeleteLater, and you know it wasn't gonna last forever.
ReplyDeleteI posted from vacation before. The people I was hanging with at the time bored me.
ReplyDeleteWell, I will be out of town next month, but I will still post when I get to a place with wifi.
ReplyDeletePlease never come back.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to post at my cousins house over Thanksgiving, but all of their devices jammed up the wifi, I felt so bored.
ReplyDeleteSome people just like to be killjoys.
ReplyDeleteVery good choice.
ReplyDeleteBuzz kills.
ReplyDeleteBut without them who is going to make tentacle porn, compact cars and flat screens?
ReplyDeleteAnd they did make spraying toilets.
ReplyDeleteNot to be that guy, but it was a random kid on the roof that said to Q, "You got the juice now man." And Q just gave him the look like, "Nah man, you don't get it."
ReplyDeleteTrue. Side note - I would have fucked the chick with the gold teeth at the record store.
ReplyDeleteYes, how dare the majority of us have fun! We enjoy a good jerk around the circle!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Well I haven't seen the movie for awhile but you're right. I usually leave my mistakes on fixed for open mockery but I'll fix this one.
ReplyDeleteHe could have just been nice and told us to move it to the Network thread, we all know Stranger would like the hits.
ReplyDeleteSome if this shit is getting ridicously hard to read.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Q have a grown-up girlfriend?
ReplyDeleteIt really bugs me I blew that quote lol. If you had any idea how many times I watched juice, menace 2 society, boyz in the hood, and above the rim in high school you'd know why.
ReplyDeleteLike someone who got to main event level. I don't consider Axel getting the dead IC title that big a deal.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't Adam Rose's entrance be even better if he came through the crowd and the Express (still plants) formed "organically" as he eventually made his way to ringside?
ReplyDeleteHello?
ReplyDeleteThat would be fun, yes.
ReplyDeleteCagematch is awesome. Just found the first ever house show WCW ran in Pittsburgh. My first WCW show, only thing I remember is buying a DDP shirt. And I think Sting showed up at the end.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=43786
Asian made things don't exist in the world of Abeyance. Made in China is the bane of his existence.
ReplyDeleteYeah it was one of the en vouge girls too!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ that visual.
ReplyDeleteRemember when TNT used to show Above The Rim after like every NBA game?
ReplyDeleteYep, the website is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteGoodbye?
ReplyDeleteDon't need to respond, Disqus was a little wonkey for me so I was testing it out.
ReplyDeleteAnd to make the paying customers feel like part of the fun, have him take selfies or something with fans during the entrance?
ReplyDeleteThe hilarious part is even though WCW was red hot, they couldn't run the Civic Arena(holds close to 20 thou) because of Vince so they were forced to go to some place that only held a couple thousand if that.
ReplyDeleteYeah that would be good. Maybe satrt to carry him as he gets to the barrier and carry him over the barrier.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Every year after all star Saturday night too. The dude playing ball by himself on the roof still cracks me up today
ReplyDeleteYep. Dawn.
ReplyDeleteLucky bastard.
And pass out E to the crowd!
ReplyDeleteMore great ideas that WWE will never do.
ReplyDeleteOmar Epps always gets the hot hot hot girls as his love interest.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid Juice briefly made me want to be a DJ. Then I checked the ads in the back of The Source for how much DJ equipment cost and that was the end of that.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear Flair still has good ideas in him, sad to hear WWE won't listen. The only good thing that could come of this is Flair eventually turning on Miz with a ballshot so hard Miz's nuts come out of his cheeks like in Hot Shots.
ReplyDeleteI was pissed at him for getting to fake screw 13 on House.
ReplyDeleteI think mt next marathon will be all of the 1989 WCW events just to see Ric Flair's amazing run in all it's glory. Well, except for Starrcade since it sucks.
ReplyDeleteIs it me you're looking for?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, to the guy that tried to post the comment about how these threads are getting hard to read, their is a thing called oldest first.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
Tommy Shepard.
ReplyDelete"How high can you get, Nutzo?!?!"
Did they ever run any kind of show in new York city? I saw the clash from Troy NY a few weeks ago and it made me wonder if that was as close as they got?
ReplyDeleteNow that's something I want to see.
ReplyDeleteI personally don't. The spot HHH currently holds is Evil Management, and he's by far the best guy to do it at this time. Right now there aren't any credible big-time heels. This is a major problem , but they can address that in the near future.
ReplyDelete*bows*
ReplyDeleteFor the win.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell? YOU'RE supposed to say "good-bye", and I'M supposed to say "hello. hello, hello".
ReplyDeleteYou ruined everything!
I watched that movie Lookout this morning with JGL where he plays a guy with a brain injury and memory loss who gets pulled into a bank heist. Damn good movie. I think that's my biggest fear, something going wrong with my brain. I dipped my toe into those waters with a concussion and short term memory loss for about two weeks and it scared and angered the fuck out of me.
ReplyDeleteMy very first ECW show. Notable because Taz got arrested right before the show started.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=47506&page=2
Also, all the lulz for ECW outdrawing WCW.
Abeyance is WAY too young for that reference and the blind chick in love with Lionel Ritchie.
ReplyDeleteI got my ex-girl a simple turntable system called "DJ in a box" that ran for $250.
ReplyDeleteDoing that allowed me to get into her box.
Sorry, it was a test.
ReplyDeleteWhich makes him a REALLY compelling manager.
ReplyDeleteWe should form a pool of "when will Ric show up smashed on air and do something wacky?"
STOP DOWNVOTING ME PEOPLE THAT AREN'T MY MOTHA FUCKA!!!
ReplyDeleteSting lost the title to Flair in the Meadowlands. They may have also run Nassau.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm sure he's seen 40 year old virgin.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I didn't get the reference.
ReplyDelete
