I've always been fond of things like the Stone Cold Steve Austin Beer Truck legacy, which went on to include Kurt Angle and milk, and hopefully Daniel Bryan and...I dunno, Soy Milk?
I also secretly loved the Black Hummer angle in WCW, even though I don't think it ever paid off.
Also if you happen to know why a 2001 Chevy Lumina would turn over, idle for a few, then die, now not turn over at all (and seemingly leak gas), you'd be kind of a hero.
My first car list...
ReplyDelete2001 - 89 Buick Century pd $150 cash
2004 - 94 Buick Century pd $2,400 cash
2007 - 99 Chevy Blazer pd $5,000 cash
2014 - 07 Dodge Nitro... owns me for the next six years at $11,500
Also, everything I know about cars, I learned from the Beach Boys.
Also, your fuel lines might be shot.
ReplyDeleteAre those expensive?
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a car person, but I say that my favorite use in wrestling would have to be JBL's limo.
ReplyDeleteHis music is wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteIf you know a mechanic, you can go to an auto parts store and purchase one for close to $30, and just pay him labor. A garage will charge you at least $60 plus labor is $100/hr where I live.
ReplyDeleteNothing is really cheap when it comes to your car... always going to be more than expected.
Austin's Cement Truck or Zamboni
ReplyDeleteI have an idea what's wrong with your 2001 Chevy Lumina. See the car is trying to kill itself Paul and its slowly succeeding. Killing itself in this manner is extremely painful for the car. But the car will continue to kill itself in this way just to rid itself of you. It would rather die a horribly painful death than spend another second with you inside it.
ReplyDeleteAh that makes complete sense. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWell Angle's already missed the past 8 years. What's another 4-6 months?
ReplyDeleteI think if there are 2 absolutely unanimous feelings on this blog, it's
ReplyDelete1 - Miz sucks
2- Kurt needs to retire, for his own well being.
And I didn't see Raw, but I heard that Sheamus didn't really show much sympathy for Ambrose being screwed out of the title, so that's a nice first seed planted for a heel turn. Sounds good to me.
Kurt is not going to be able to walk when he reaches 50 years of age. He might die in a ring.
ReplyDeleteYep, his drive to never quit and be the best might be what ends up killing him. It's sad.
ReplyDelete"There's no faces or heels anymore"...yet 1 face meant to appeal to the kids hits another NOT meant to appeal to the kids, and that's supposed to instantly turn him heel? Unless it was just supposed to be the first chapter of his gradual turn...try again, guys.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious, did this "no faces of heels anymore" thing actually come from WWE? Or from an "inside reporter"? I remember the start of the Attitude Era, Vince said something like that, but not lately.
ReplyDeleteI know right? You are very welcome. By the way, just reading that over that sounded really harsh and mean, you know I'm just fucking with you right?
ReplyDeleteI would honestly be happy if they just completely stole the Sheamus storyline from WWE 12 where Sheamus ends up winning all the titles, then immediately loses the WWE one to HHH.
ReplyDeleteHe has to go balls out in everything he does. Its a sickness at this point
ReplyDeleteTAKE MY MONEY!!!
ReplyDeleteMiz is no worse than many other talents today and Kurt just needs to retire in ring.
ReplyDeleteI just want to be difficult.
Actually you can get it for free at certain establishments with a bi curious mechanic. There's this place in my area and I get all my car related issues fixed for free.
ReplyDeleteSupposedly Vince said that recently. Either way, I hope this was the first part of a gradual turn, b/c just winning the battle royal idn't gonna do it.
ReplyDeleteI pride myself in trying to find the positives in every wrestler, but... The moment Miz turned face a few years back... There is just ZERO about him.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Like I said, it's a great first seed. He just needs to really act cocky about it now, and it should be all good.
ReplyDeleteI hate face Miz, but I like heel Miz just fine. They need to make the group with him, Ziggler, and Ryder already...it's a good idea, and at this point will literally save their careers.
ReplyDeleteAngle: He's not John Cena, so that prognosis is likely accurate.
ReplyDeleteSheamus: As mentioned below, good first step of a heel turn. But horrible, on it's own, as an attempted "turn".
Cena: Sure, why not? Somebody's gotta remind the former Mr. Langston to DANCE!
Legends: WOOOO! I need money, WOOOO! Where's the mini-bar, WOOOO! I love you guys, WOOOO! I can bang the host, right? WOOOO!
"I think if there are... absolutely unanimous feelings on this blog, it's"
ReplyDelete3. DAT LANA
YES.
ReplyDeleteCant argue that one.
ReplyDelete1. Miss 4-6 months of what? Was he even working?
ReplyDelete2. Booting a dude in a battle royale was supposed to signify a heel turn?
3. I'm all for Cena working with up-and-comers. Big E probably makes more sense as an ass-kicking heel anyway.
Stupid question.
ReplyDeleteVince said it in 1997 too. Meant just about as much then as it does now
ReplyDeleteWhat do you drive?
ReplyDeleteNot saying Angle is fully healed at that time, but Angle always returns from injury sooner than expected. He never milks an injury.
ReplyDeleteI'm having fun with SuperCena's quick returns.
ReplyDeleteI don't.
ReplyDeleteHis talking heads are CONSTANT on the network. Its like he waits around for filming. He's awful
ReplyDeleteYou're missing out. Check out Real Racing 3 on iOS for funsies.
ReplyDeleteI wanted news updates on Dixie's weird tweets :(
ReplyDeleteUnrelated: I'm the world's greatest sporcle wrestling player.
ReplyDeleteAs long as Cena jobs for the Up-and-comers,I'll be fine.

Angle needs to retire already, just go on to managing and training.
ReplyDelete2011 was really Angle's last great year.
ReplyDeleteI still like my idea of hiding drugs and alcohol all around the house. The rules are last one to stay sober wins a million dollars. But if you do slip you stay in the house and if you can tempt someone else into using you get a bunch of your drug of choice.
ReplyDeleteMiz is best served as the mouthpiece of a heel tag-team, like he was with John Morrison.
ReplyDeleteI smell ratings!
ReplyDeleteRVD is also undefeated. 4-0 Baby!
ReplyDeleteOr with Thruth.
ReplyDeleteThis sucks.
ReplyDeleteI can see some heel with staying power trying to top 21 as part of their gimmick, but I doubt anyone ever will. I mean, the original streak only became a thing around, what, 18? Before that, they weren't trying to keep Taker undefeated or even cognizant that he was. He was just a popular guy who won matches.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, if WWE were smart they need to push a new WM undefeated streak just because Undertaker's streak has been the big draw for the last 9 years and now with Taker defeated, WM business will probably go down a bit.
ReplyDeleteI think he also needs to embrace what he always was as a face: a dickhead bully. Attack people after the bell, backstage, whatever and when asked why, answer "because I can."
ReplyDeleteSo THATS why Goldberg is coming back...sure it will take til he's 70 to catch Undertaker but he can a 30 second match each year...or not.
ReplyDeleteThis is the problem with WrestleMania today: the lack of a real undercard. Seven matches on a four hour show? If they had more undercard matches, someone would be on a little bit of a streak that they could take advantage of.
ReplyDelete2. worst heel turn ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's probably cost him years of his life and certainly has cost him of his sanity.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not much of a car guy so this holds little interest for me. Oh, by the way, you know if you'll be in town during Battleground? I figured even if you aren't going to the show we could get together for drinks or a bite to eat.
ReplyDeleteHe's already 45. Damn, I selfishly want him to have one more WWE moment.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine the crowd pop when his music hits.
Scenario #36 of leaving money on the table with the streak: Why the fuck did they never put a young guy on a Goldberg esque undefeated streak of 12-15 months and book him vs Taker at mania? Would have been huge if they had chosen the right guy
ReplyDeleteI want Legends House 2 to be a Big Brother/Survivor type game. One team is Flair and his boys (Arn, Windham, etc) and the other is Hogan and his boys (Saggs, Beefcake,etc). I'd watch it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they can put Alexander Rusev on a streak for Goldberg to end at Mania 31. I mean, I know it's not nearly the same thing but it's something.
ReplyDeleteOnly superficially: cars with nice bodies/paint jobs that look like they were/could have been in the Fast and Furious franchise; I know nothing about the insides.
ReplyDeleteHe got a ** match out of Wes Briscoe last year. That's a miracle!
ReplyDeleteCena's still the man. He doesn't have to go in Jericho mode and job to everyone.
ReplyDeleteSo Ambrose trying to throw Reigns out of the Rumble is "every man for himself in the rumble" and Sheamus kicking Ambrose in a battle royal on Raw is him turning heel....
ReplyDelete"I DRIVE married women to cheat"
ReplyDeleteStandard bad Parallax1978 response
4 wins stretching out a period of 12 years....RVD will have the steak tied in about 2075!
ReplyDeleteI smell a feud with 3MB!
ReplyDeleteNot everyone,but if they wanna build a new guy,winning a feud against Cena will make him.
ReplyDeleteAt least that one was original.
ReplyDeleteAnd somehow Kevin Nash returns and brings back WCW.
ReplyDeleteComplete with War Games!
ReplyDeleteAnd Austin Aries saves the day.
ReplyDeleteThere was even the random scene where HHH and him were talking to each other on the phone, in the same room.
ReplyDeleteMy CAW unintentionally looked like a red headed Aries.
ReplyDeleteI think the CAW feud with Vince in SVR 2010 is the only good storyline they made.
ReplyDeleteHeel CM Punk. but instead of "this place" he yells: "THIS THREAD..........SUCKS!!!!!!!!!"
ReplyDeleteMy caw looks like Brandon Lee or AJ styles Lone wolf persona.
ReplyDeleteParallax is understandably getting a bit sick of that running joke. Why don't we shelve it for a while and only pull it out on special occasions?
ReplyDeleteWorst ones were of course any of the Undertaker storylines.
ReplyDeleteJust stop Angle, for your own good just stop.
ReplyDeleteI see a Misawa scenario.It's sad how Kurt is been,years ago he was still in a solid shape.
ReplyDeleteThey had one in 2009.
ReplyDeleteI was sure this was where they were going with Ryback
ReplyDeleteYep, Shield are 2-0. My money is on Reigns being the only one to keep it though.
ReplyDeleteMeh. I'm probably just gonna start mocking it.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your battleground question, I'm not gonna be around that weekend m. Gotta go up north. I'm always down for watching some raw and grabbing some drinks or something tho
But then they hot shotted him into the main event title picture and.....
ReplyDeleteAlt QOTD #1: What's the most fucked up or best way you got revenge on somebody who wronged you?
ReplyDeleteRVD could be an interesting choice.
ReplyDeleteMaking them read Meekins QOTDs.
ReplyDeleteWas gonna gonna go with "made them read Abeyance1s posts" but he hates asians enough already
ReplyDeleteI see the same scenario as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd 2011.
ReplyDeleteOne of the exes who cheated on me, we had one last "thing" and while I was taking a shower I pissed in all her shampoo and conditioner bottles and shook them up.
ReplyDeleteWith Paul Bearer returning and Masked Kane,at least you could the masked Outfit.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he's one step away from just murdering you to help cleanse the population. I would watch out.
ReplyDeleteOh tag!
ReplyDelete:stares at Farva:
ReplyDeleteI see this involving a lot of poop.
ReplyDeleteYeah, like his theme as well.
ReplyDeleteDid you get a bad prediction from a fortune cookie and that's what started all this?
ReplyDeleteMade them take down a banner. /caliber
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. Punk/Taker always seemed like it was the end goal that mania season. Maybe if Ryback got over huge they would have audibled
ReplyDeleteThat was just way too harsh, I mean I get getting revenge on somebody but there are some lines you just don't cross!
ReplyDeleteNo, but it did taste bitter.
ReplyDeleteNo it didn't.
ReplyDeleteWhich lead to a nicer banner.
ReplyDeleteGreat explanation. You've changed my mind
ReplyDelete"Sit down, E. Huh ha. First, I'd like to apologize about the whole becoming-enamored-with-your-boobs-and-giving-you-a-championship (not a fucking "title" or "belt," goddammit) and subsequently-becoming-distracted-by-a-new-toy-and-forgetting-about-you thing. Much to your discredit, however, I did see you sneeze on March 14th after clapping that chalk around.
ReplyDelete"Anyway, E, I have some fortunate news for you--John would like to feud with you. We're going to take your already lukewarm character and make people care even less about you. You're going to lose at two consecutive Special Events. And you bet your titties we're going to make jokes and the-computer-photoshops-pictures of you in embarrassing situations. Congratulations."
Anyone up for a PPV watch tonight at 8 PM EST?
ReplyDeleteAngle needs to just relax and wrestle 1-2x a year. No reason to be wrestling every week.
ReplyDeleteMoved everything on their desk in inch to the right except their stapler.
ReplyDeleteSince I'm too lazy to email Scott and wiki isn't giving me any answers, I'll ask here: Why did Sting drop the title to Flair on a house show in Jan 91?
ReplyDeletemost unnoticed heel turn since Powers of Pain joining Fuji at Survivor Series
ReplyDeleteThey could have Dolph Ziggler go on a 25 year losing streak.
ReplyDeleteHogan? Seriously?
ReplyDeleteMaria Menounos had the biggest streak during her one Mania match.
ReplyDeleteCocaine addiction.
ReplyDeleteYeah man, we'll have to set something up in the future. Maybe meet at Hogans place, do they play RAW there? They should.
ReplyDeleteWhat the WWE need to do with Big E instead of having him feud with Cena (Big E does not need a heel turn) is incorporate his online persona into his in-ring character. If they did that then Big E would be a big time face.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, I hope Bad News Barrett fumigated the Intercontinental title after he won it because who knows what type of things Big E done to (if you saw Big E's Instagram video this week about his last days as IC Champion, you'll know what I mean).
Although if Jimmy Harts there I'm gonna deck the fucker for being a dick to me as a kid.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it last week when they reported that plan was not to turn Sheamus heel until after the European tour.
ReplyDeleteI am.
ReplyDeleteEww.
ReplyDeleteLegends House 2 should just be the "Odd Couple" of Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. Let's face it, with those two in the house no one would pay attention to anyone else anyway.
ReplyDeleteBecause he's been in and out of rehab so much? You could literally pick 300 wrestlers that have more of a documented history of cocaine abuse than Hulk Hogan.
ReplyDeleteIf Sheamus is supposed to be a heel now, it sure didn't look like it on Smackdown, the guy was celebrating with the fans like normal.
ReplyDeleteSince I'm too lazy to email Scott and wiki isn't giving me any answers, I'll ask here: Why did Sting drop the title to Flair on a house show in Jan 91?
ReplyDelete"According to Bryan Alvarez, when Sheamus kicked Dean Ambrose in the Battle Royal from RAW, that was supposed to be his heel turn."
ReplyDeleteall the lulz
Jesus, you will defend ANYTHING. It's bordering on parody at this point.
ReplyDeleteHe should lose in the next 2 manias to go 4-2-0. Get it? MARIJAUNA!?
ReplyDeleteThat'd just be 9-10 weeks of Flair doing Hogans laundry & washing up in exchange for being tossed a stale bread crust now & again (and doing five alarm bladejobs if the crust hits him in the forehead)
ReplyDeleteFinishers = Heel/Face turns
ReplyDeleteOk cool. I think there were a couple others yesterday interested as well. Show suggestions?
ReplyDeleteLeaving money on the table is WWE's whole MO.
ReplyDeleteHow the hell do they think a face attacking another face in a battle royale using a completely legitimate move is a heel turn? Are they paying these writers minimum wage? I actually thought the interview afterwards where he was uncaring for Ambrose was the beginning of a slow burn heel turn. I didn't realize he was already supposed to be a heel. However now, actually trying to win a match today means you're a heel. Appearently WWE thinks face means giant pussy. That must be why Bryan is scared of Kane.
ReplyDeleteYou know, it's hard to imagine anyone having a run anything like the one Undertaker had. He started at the tail end of Hulkamania, continued through the New Generation, Attitude, Ruthless Agression, and Pg-13 eras. That's kinda amazing.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Would Austin's heel turn at WM X-7 be worse? He was still cheered, despite the turn. And that was in the world title picture AND main event at WrestleMania.
ReplyDeleteActually, the only drug I've heard Hogan seriously linked to was marijuana.
ReplyDeleteOh God, Oh God!
ReplyDeleteIf Ryder's fate is any indication of how WWE feels about such things, Big E might be better off leaving his "online persona" exactly where it is and and doing everything Vince and the writers tell him to do.
ReplyDeleteThe other factor is that he spent so much time as a "special attraction" that it was fairly easy to keep putting him over. Really, until the Kane match at 14, you can't really make a decent storyline case for him doing the job. Then X-Seven with HHH, you could see it, but not really, and by the time you get to Flair at X-8, when the story would have made more sense had Flair cheated to win or some such (I mean, UT went and beat up the guy's kid!), the Streak was already a thing and not worth giving up there.
ReplyDeleteThe main difference is that Big E doesn't use his online presence to complain about his lack of a push.
ReplyDeleteIt would probably be more like 9-10 weeks of Hogan picking up Flair from whatever bar is stupid enough to give him a tab. Meanwhile Flair would be begging Hogan to pay whatever bills he could not pay for himself.
ReplyDeleteI may be remembering this wrong but didn't the Punk/Taker match only come about because of Punk winning a 4-way (the stuff with Bearer only came later right?)
ReplyDeleteThere was no compelling reason for the match to happen prior to that.
So Ryback could have just as easily been slotted in to that slot, though they would have obviously had to change round the whole booking of the autumn so Ryback didn't spend his time jobbing to Punk and losing all his heat.
Not that I'm complaining as Punk / Taker was massively better than anything Ryback might have been able to put on
Kurt Angle? That should read "4-6 days".
ReplyDeleteYea, the Punk/Taker match was a result of Punk winning a 4 way. By all accounts, Rock/Cena 2 was penciled in for a year with Punk/Taker essentially being planned for months.
ReplyDeleteIf you remember, Ryback was already jobbing ppvs in the fall. His winless ppv streak lile 5 months in the fall/winter of that year. That doest really scream of them building Ryback up for Taker
A list of every undefeated wrestler in WM history....

0-0-1....Billy Jack Haynes, David Sammartino
Looking at that list, two comments....
ReplyDelete* Heyman shoud start claiming that Cesaro has the 'new Streak' since he beat 30 guys in the battle royale and is now allegedly 30-0.
* Lesnar should target Animal, Ax and RVD at the next three Manias in order to give his wife the longest unbeaten streak in WM history. Hawk could be difficult.
so rocky v is on, and it was the very beginning where it was revealed that paulie once again was an idiot
ReplyDeleteseriously, if anyone ever deserved to be fredo'd, it's him
flair would somehow find a way to mortgage the legends house and then default on the payments
ReplyDeleteI hate pot/420 humor. It's all "420. Hee hee get it?" Yeah, real subtle.
ReplyDeleteNO shit I saw a DeLorean driving down the street today.
ReplyDeleteThe head knock/foot on the rope one? Lousy finish to boot
ReplyDeleteIs there footage of that? I've never seen it. The title change was right after the Black Scorpion stuff.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dGtW31X83s
ReplyDeleteThanks. lol at the awkward crowd cut when Flair blades. Is the full match available?
ReplyDeleteAlso, always loved Sting's neon green/black combo. Flair's flesh colored gear is all the lulz.
I drive a 1999 Chevy Lumina. (said in Will Ferrell voice. "I drive a Dodge Stratus!!" SNL)
ReplyDeleteI think Flair was promised it for doing the Black Scorpion thing. Probably an attendance boost thing.
ReplyDeleteWCW was a strange, strange place.
ReplyDelete
