I mean, what would make you think this isn't a fake? There's zero new footage in there, it's all just old clips. And is the WWE-hired editor risking his job just to be a cool guy on some wrestling blogs?
I know we're getting Cena/Lesnar anyway, but this seems pretty fake.
If heel Brock had the title for that long, it’d be tough to imagine a situation where Rollins could cash in his briefcase. I have a bad feeling Brock takes the title, loses it quickly to Reigns, who then gets the 30 second title reign as Rollins cashes it in against him right away. Then they do a Reigns chase to get it back.
If Bryan is healthy in time, I'd bet Bryan ends up being one of the challengers that Brock beats on the way to Mania 31. Maybe Survivor Series or the Rumble.
My ONLY concern about Brock at Summerslam is how long can they keep Ambrose and Rollins hot? Right now Ambrose is awesome and I don't want fans to have gotten tired of him by the Fall.
Man, seeing this really reminds me how much it sucks that D-Bry got injured. The guy was set to mow through Kane, Orton, possibly HHH or Batista as challengers all summer, and then have an epic Summerslam main event against Brock. Not only would it have rocked but would have been the absolute high of Bryan's career. Whatta shame.
By the way...what if Cena vs Lesnar isn't for the belt at Summerslam? What if... Cena retains in the four-way match. HHH sledgehammers Roman, but Cena takes HHH out. Then... PLAN C, it's Brock Lesnar to come out and destroy Cena, and Rollins cashes in and becomes champ.
Then at Summerslam, Lesnar beats Cena in a straight up grudge match and then goes away for awhile. Plus Ambrose vs Rollins for the title at Summerslam and through the Fall. Maybe they trade the title back and forth a few times.
Then eventually Daniel Bryan comes back, beats Rollins for the belt and drops it to Brock at Rumble. Roman wins the Rumble, and its Brock vs Roman at Mania 31.
I doubt they would do an officially SummerSlam montage 4-5 weeks before it happens. Pretty sure Brock will make a few appearances in the next few Raws.
Why take those two out of the battle royale? It would be a nice visual to see Adam Rose get thrown out of the ring only to get caught and then thrown back in by the Rosebuds. And while Sandow would only be cannon foder he certainly deserves to be in the match more than some of the other jobbers in the match (and there are quite a few of them).
Just imagine if Wyatt even remarked to Flair something like, "you know, you could've taken off your Hall of Fame ring before punching me." We'd be hearing backstage report after backstage report on how Wyatt can't do business, he doesn't have his heart in the business, he doesn't have respect for veterans, he doesn't have what it takes, and so on and so on until he would be jobbed out as punishment and released.
Then... "What's Windham Rotunda doing in the Impact Zone, Taz?"
Not freaking out over getting busted open hardway seems like an odd thing to be heaping praise on someone for. Maybe it's because guys don't bleed anymore and they expect them to throw a tantrum when they do.
True. Such a bad draft. MKG does some things well. I think his ceiling is in his prime Gerald Wallace (1 time all star, could never really shoot but got by with athleticism and hustle)
So awesome that my Wizards got Beal. It seemed obvious to me he was better than MKG. MKG might be able to develop into a decent shooter at some point, but it's year 3 already.
I think they'll give us Ambrose vs. Rollins in some gimmick match at Summerslam. Perhaps even for the briefcase. I wouldn't worry about them as much as Reigns as he'll be feuding with Orton probably.
I don't recall seeing a wrestler get as buried and actively jobbed out as Sandow has in recent memory. He had a decent midcard character and made a solid tag wrestler with Cody Rhodes. I don't get it. Alberto Del Rio should be the one dressed up like George Washington or LeBron James and buried every week.
I always saw him as a Santino type comedy wrestler really. He can lose every match for the rest of his career, but still be fun and entertaining to watch. Just don't think he's all that great in the ring, average at best.
I think the circumstances here are a little different. It wasn't a botched spot or an errant ladder like Orton at MITB that wasn't really anyone's fault. It was because Flair was out there throwing punches near Wyatt's eye and didn't think to take his giant-ass ring off.
Thing is, he really wasn't pushed that much in the past either. Remember that Rhodes Scholars did lost most of their matches. Other than 1 fluke MITB win, he's pretty much been a jobber his entire career.
I think he's good if he doesn't have kids. I'm 32 IF I had a couple million in the bank and even some side investments I would still want to find some additional source of income at least until 50.
Damn Damien Sandow was incredible. Awesome gimmick, good matches and a nice push and he was over. Now they pissed him away for nothing. Shit like this is why I kind of hope the network ends up as a catastrophic failure even though I really like it.
I remember him being over but aside from token new guy jobber squashes I don't remember him actually beating anybody. Rhodes Scholars lost all the time and I remember Cody clearly winning the breakup.
He was one of the 10 most entertaining acts on a show that is currently unwatchable. He's heel, who cares if he puts guys over. To bury a over act like that is dumb unless you are just playing around on the internet doing a gimmick. Then its good I guess.
That's what I'm saying. It's a tough business. Shit like this used to happen all the time and it was just part of the job. Now you get stickers and juice boxes for being tough and not complaining.
Biscuit! is right on. He's was making mid 7 figures for at least 2 years, and high 6 low 7 for the 2 or 3 years before that, with very little expenses. If his house is paid for he could live off the interest alone.
I love Billy Joel. I guess while playing a concert at Notre Dame, he was told not to play "Only the Good Die You" because of the lyric "You Catholic Girls start much to late." He proceeded to play that song at least five times.
You're trying too hard. I said he was a fun act, but he pretty much always lost. Then you said i had a bad memory or something. Now you're saying that it's ok to lose as a heel. (Chug a coffee, take a deep breath, and start over. You're off your game today)
Yeah, he takes that "Don't take no shit from anyone" pretty liberally when it comes to concerts. At the Grammys in the early 90s, he went on after the show cut off a speech by Frank Sinatra. Playing "River of Dreams," there's a break in the song to lead back into the chorus, and he stretched it out, making comments into the mic of "Valuable commercial time being wasted" while looking at his watch.
Well Ric Flair is almost certain to die pennyless in a ditch some day, or else be totally cared for by HHH/WWE like some sort of pitiful charity case. Stories like this make me chuckle about that.
I like how you have only one comeback to someone calling out your ridiculous statements. You have 5,000 posts as a gimmick. Its enough. Time to move on to something else, or start having conversations like a normal human being. You've run this joke into the ground. No one wants to see it anymore.
I agree with Whitlock. If you are the Pacers and want to win now, just give him a two-year deal. That way, if he becomes too problematic, you are not saddled with his contract
What facts have you used to dispute that its a waste of an act who was over? You're stand by line of "trying too hard" isn't a fact. Do you know what a fact is? Actually you never answered me yesterday when I asked if you understood what buried meant either. Can you give me your understanding of both definitions please?
Eh, I'm going to Battleground and I don't feel pissed although we all have known about this match for a while. It's a throwaway PPV but it has some good matches on the card and I'm sure I'll get my $135 worth.
A lot of things used to be a part of everyone's job, but society has weeded most of it out because it's fucking insane. Unprotected chair shots and gushing blood used to be a part of wrestling, now we know that concussions and hepatitis really aren't that cool.
This was during the point in the 80s where he was crying poverty over his business manager stealing a good chunk of his money. Trying to bleed money from a stone was nothing my family was interested in.
Plus, I got out of the way pretty quick. He just wasn't paying attention while driving.
Haha. wwe.com has a funny typo. "This Sunday's free WWE Battleground Kickoff will feature fighting Funkadactyls as Cameroni squares off against Naomi in a one-on-one match."
If that's the end of Sandow then that's too bad. He's been reliably entertaining for years. Good thing about Rose though. He and Ryder may both be very nice guys in real life, but both of their characters need to die in house fires.
Parallax has said he somehow figured out vj was that guy. I believe it because that dude seems stupid enough to waste his time making 5,000 gimmick posts. I get lots of hate having been here too long/talking too much but I'd lose steam working a message board gimmick after a day or two.
Adam Rose just doesn't translate to the big stage. His entrance looked cool as hell in NXT because it's such a small building that he's basically filling the scant amount of empty space with what looks like this huge party. But on Raw, it just looks like a few idiots bouncing around.
Agreed on "Backlash 2003" - it wasn't a great match or anything, but I didn't think it was the 1* or whatever affair that Scott gave it. They were both still pretty green at that point, but watching it back years later, you can really see flashes of brilliance from both of them in that match.
Never heard of Charlie Manson, and while I will not deny having posted on NPP in the past, I am certainly not a regular poster now (that can be said about 99.9% of people, as only like 3 people post there now, lulz)
Interest? What interest? Banks are not even giving out 1% interest. Most money markets are like 0.5% at best. So if he had let's say 10 million in the bank, with 0.5% that's only 50,000. 50K isn't much to live on, especially with his high health insurance (which is probably 2K a month).
He CAN live on it, but who knows if he's good with money or not.
The point is that living ONLY off of interest is very difficult. If he got like a 30K podcasting job or something, that's fine. He's set then.
TJ: By the way, has anybody else been watching the music videos Weird Al has been putting out the last few days (he's putting one new video out everyday for eight days)? Pretty good stuff so far. I REALLY like Word Crimes (Blurred Lines), Tacky (Happy) was pretty good and Foil (Royals) has some funny moments.
I'm pretty sure the faux injury to Rollins on Monday night was a way to work out Plan B and move on to Plan C without Rollins losing the briefcase. Plus, it could push back the Ambrose-Rollins match a bit.
"Man, the 14 people who order Battleground on PPV are gonna be pissed at having the main event spoiled, though."
ReplyDeleteI am sure at least 13 of them already know CENAWINSLOL http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/176/931/30190.jpg
I hope we still get Bryan vs Brock at some point down the line, because that match would have rocked. Maybe at 31?
ReplyDeleteI hate being this way but have they ever paid for UFC footage before? Wonder if it's fake.
ReplyDelete....not the matchup itself, just the ad
I haven't seen their Extreme Rules match since it aired. That finish just totally deflated that match for me.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that it doesn't specify if it's a title match.
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't want the other three to be champ though.
ReplyDeleteWould be perfect with Brock holding the title til Mania if he could just work more dates
ReplyDeleteNCAA champ, UFC champ, WWE champ...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he did something else that should've been on this highlight reel too (...and no, I'm not talking about humping Sable.)
Should be a good match; Brock better win.
ReplyDeleteIs battleground even available on PPV? Michael coke repeatedly stated that it's exclusively on the network.
ReplyDeleteI mean, what would make you think this isn't a fake? There's zero new footage in there, it's all just old clips. And is the WWE-hired editor risking his job just to be a cool guy on some wrestling blogs?
ReplyDeleteI know we're getting Cena/Lesnar anyway, but this seems pretty fake.
If heel Brock had the title for that long, it’d be tough to
ReplyDeleteimagine a situation where Rollins could cash in his briefcase. I have a bad
feeling Brock takes the title, loses it quickly to Reigns, who then gets the 30
second title reign as Rollins cashes it in against him right away. Then they do
a Reigns chase to get it back.
If Bryan is healthy in time, I'd bet Bryan ends up being one of the challengers that Brock beats on the way to Mania 31. Maybe Survivor Series or the Rumble.
ReplyDeleteMy ONLY concern about Brock at Summerslam is how long can they keep Ambrose and Rollins hot? Right now Ambrose is awesome and I don't want fans to have gotten tired of him by the Fall.
ReplyDeleteO yea totally forgot about Rollins. Dont really watch Raw.
ReplyDeleteThey were just UFC photo's of Brock, not actual footage. Altho not sure if that matters
ReplyDeleteUFC should let them use the footage of Brock running away
ReplyDeletewhenever anyone hit him for free.
Man, seeing this really reminds me how much it sucks that D-Bry got injured. The guy was set to mow through Kane, Orton, possibly HHH or Batista as challengers all summer, and then have an epic Summerslam main event against Brock. Not only would it have rocked but would have been the absolute high of Bryan's career. Whatta shame.
ReplyDeleteLMAO, that's some WCW 1999 type shit right there. WWE is embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteYes, international PPV makes more money for WWE than the WWE Network does.
ReplyDeleteWell, to be fair a 2000 WCW video package would be far more business exposing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cZtuwjdPJU
ReplyDeleteBy the way...what if Cena vs Lesnar isn't for the belt at Summerslam? What if...
ReplyDeleteCena retains in the four-way match. HHH sledgehammers Roman, but Cena takes HHH out. Then... PLAN C, it's Brock Lesnar to come out and destroy Cena, and Rollins cashes in and becomes champ.
Then at Summerslam, Lesnar beats Cena in a straight up grudge match and then goes away for awhile. Plus Ambrose vs Rollins for the title at Summerslam and through the Fall. Maybe they trade the title back and forth a few times.
Then eventually Daniel Bryan comes back, beats Rollins for the belt and drops it to Brock at Rumble. Roman wins the Rumble, and its Brock vs Roman at Mania 31.
Stop.
ReplyDeleteYoure so cool!!
ReplyDelete"NOW... there's no script! And no rules!" Wow, that video package.
ReplyDeleteThat would be awful for Roman. No way they do that.
ReplyDeleteNo mention of the Streak? Hmm...
ReplyDeleteFaux pas on Cole's part!
ReplyDeleteAnd Lance Stephenson has signed with the Hornets for 3 years at $27 million
ReplyDeleteI doubt they would do an officially SummerSlam montage 4-5 weeks before it happens. Pretty sure Brock will make a few appearances in the next few Raws.
ReplyDeleteMKG is not that guy, sadly.
ReplyDeleteHenderson can hit open shots... MKG maybe will never be able to. Broken form.
ReplyDeleteWhy take those two out of the battle royale? It would be a nice visual to see Adam Rose get thrown out of the ring only to get caught and then thrown back in by the Rosebuds. And while Sandow would only be cannon foder he certainly deserves to be in the match more than some of the other jobbers in the match (and there are quite a few of them).
ReplyDeleteThey are not doing Ambrose/Rollins for the title at Summerslam.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is they will have a rematch from MiTB
ReplyDeleteJust imagine if Wyatt even remarked to Flair something like, "you know, you could've taken off your Hall of Fame ring before punching me." We'd be hearing backstage report after backstage report on how Wyatt can't do business, he doesn't have his heart in the business, he doesn't have respect for veterans, he doesn't have what it takes, and so on and so on until he would be jobbed out as punishment and released.
ReplyDeleteThen... "What's Windham Rotunda doing in the Impact Zone, Taz?"
You stop.
ReplyDeleteSad that he was the #2 overall pick. Then again, that was a sad draft class. They should have taken Beal though.
ReplyDeleteWho are you to doubt Zack Ryder, Xavier Woods, and Heath Slater? They're jam-up guys.
ReplyDeleteAny chance of Sandow winning if that's the case?
ReplyDeleteMaybe by cheating
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's pretty shitty that he got busted up and had to be "cool" about it. I would've jacked that drunk motherfucker in the face.
ReplyDeleteNot freaking out over getting busted open hardway seems like an odd thing to be heaping praise on someone for. Maybe it's because guys don't bleed anymore and they expect them to throw a tantrum when they do.
ReplyDeleteBecause Rose is undefeated and the other undefeated guy, Bo Dallas, is winning the battle royal.
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with that. Sandow just needs to win a match, period.
ReplyDeletePWINSIDER?!
ReplyDeleteNewz
ReplyDeleteTrue. Such a bad draft. MKG does some things well. I think his ceiling is in his prime Gerald Wallace (1 time all star, could never really shoot but got by with athleticism and hustle)
ReplyDeleteHe never had a stand out skill. He had the skill set of a solid role player.
ReplyDeleteThey cancelled catering for Sunday night due to budget cuts, so Rose and Sandow have been assigned to pick up pizzas for everyone.
ReplyDeleteIt would set up for an easy midcard feud
ReplyDeleteThis community must be over CM Punk, because normally there would be 150 comments by now.
ReplyDeleteTHIS 1 MILLION TIMES (the Adam Rose) thing.
ReplyDeleteYou know he wasn't pushed enough, or something. (there, I got the ball rolling)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it is every young wrestler's dream to get busted open by Ric Flair and at MSG of all places.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty much just a defender?
ReplyDeleteBesides how many wrestlers of Wyatt's generation would get the chance to say, "I got busted open by Ric Flair."
ReplyDeleteSo awesome that my Wizards got Beal. It seemed obvious to me he was better than MKG. MKG might be able to develop into a decent shooter at some point, but it's year 3 already.
ReplyDeletePeople are over him.
ReplyDeleteI know I am.
I hope they beat the crap out of each other like at Extreme Rules. These two have great chemistry. Their Backlash 2003 match was a hoot as well.
ReplyDeleteThat can occasionally drive to the hoop.
ReplyDeleteI think they'll give us Ambrose vs. Rollins in some gimmick match at Summerslam. Perhaps even for the briefcase. I wouldn't worry about them as much as Reigns as he'll be feuding with Orton probably.
ReplyDeleteIf they selected Beal, a Kemba/Beal backcourt would be pretty damn solid
ReplyDeleteWho would have ever thought that Ric Flair would be in a match in 2014 and the other guy is the one who gets busted open?
ReplyDeleteNot as solid as Wall/Beal :) :D
ReplyDeleteNope
ReplyDeleteGotcha. I just think he has potential still. Not even sure he is 20 yet. Way more athletic than posey
ReplyDeleteI bet Flair can't even put a baseball cap on without his forehead leaking.
ReplyDeleteMy bet is on Cesaro winning although I would not be surprised if Dallas wins it.
ReplyDeleteYeah he is more athletic.
ReplyDeleteIf you play the wing and cannot shoot in today's NBA, you are not going to be all that effective.
He should concentrate in being a lockdown defender. That is what will lee him in the league
What are the chances the LA Clippers boycott the season if Donald Sterling is still the owner when the season begins?
ReplyDelete10%
I agree with that 100%. Wing guys who can't shoot are quickly losing their place in the league
ReplyDeleteFlair and Dusty would both be five-alarm in an argument over the phone.
ReplyDeleteGood for Punk. Retired at 35. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall seeing a wrestler get as buried and actively jobbed out as Sandow has in recent memory. He had a decent midcard character and made a solid tag wrestler with Cody Rhodes. I don't get it. Alberto Del Rio should be the one dressed up like George Washington or LeBron James and buried every week.
ReplyDeleteBray wouldn't be disrespectful to Uncle Ric.
ReplyDeleteI think Sterling has a hell of a good chance of winning his lawsuit against the NBA.
ReplyDeleteMoney goes quick, he'll be back, somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI always saw him as a Santino type comedy wrestler really. He can lose every match for the rest of his career, but still be fun and entertaining to watch. Just don't think he's all that great in the ring, average at best.
ReplyDeleteI hope not for his sake. He's got investments and owns his home outright. He majorly fucked up if he has to return.
ReplyDeleteI love drama (shocking, i know), so I do hope he sticks around until opening day, specifically to see the potential boycott unfold.
ReplyDeleteI think the circumstances here are a little different. It wasn't a botched spot or an errant ladder like Orton at MITB that wasn't really anyone's fault. It was because Flair was out there throwing punches near Wyatt's eye and didn't think to take his giant-ass ring off.
ReplyDeleteI can tell by some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few fakes in my time.
ReplyDeleteSure, if it's true that they are giving up on Rose.
ReplyDeleteVince Russo says it's ok
ReplyDeleteSandow must have used a weight bench before Triple H and forgot to wipe it down or something.
ReplyDeleteIt looked brutal, he had stitches right above his eyelid. I'm sure it wasn't fun getting that numbed and stiched up.
ReplyDeleteNO U
ReplyDeleteThing is, he really wasn't pushed that much in the past either. Remember that Rhodes Scholars did lost most of their matches. Other than 1 fluke MITB win, he's pretty much been a jobber his entire career.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Sting's first promo after Hogan's heel turn.
ReplyDelete"Hogan, you tell these fans to stick it? No, Hulk... YOU stick it!!"
cutting edge there, Stinger!!
I think he's good if he doesn't have kids. I'm 32 IF I had a couple million in the bank and even some side investments I would still want to find some additional source of income at least until 50.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything WWE does that you can't justify?
ReplyDeleteDamn Damien Sandow was incredible. Awesome gimmick, good matches and a nice push and he was over. Now they pissed him away for nothing. Shit like this is why I kind of hope the network ends up as a catastrophic failure even though I really like it.
ReplyDeleteThey seriously missed a golden opportunity there.
ReplyDeleteYou have a bad memory, or your just trolling.
ReplyDelete-101%
ReplyDeleteIf the NBA players wouldn't stand up for themselves in the CBA in 2011 they sure as fuck won't stand up for something as trivial as this.
You really think they're protecting Adam Rose at this point?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Vince Jordan is Kevin Dunn, or maybe Kevin Dunn's half brother Over-Dunn.
ReplyDeleteToo bad AJ is pregnant. #InternetReporting
ReplyDeleteMiz as a face.
ReplyDeleteNo. It's annoying.
ReplyDeleteIts a six month old story. He'll be missed by anyone who tries to sit through a raw but he'll back one day too.
ReplyDeleteBeat that horse!
ReplyDeleteDoes a battle royal loss really count on a W-L record?
ReplyDeleteSo Rhodes Scholars won a ton of matches?
ReplyDeleteHe owns apartment slums in Chicago. He's still making bank.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised Flair didn't hit himself in the face so that he could get busted too.
ReplyDeleteFuck i wish Wyatt would have bitched about it so Vince would bury him...oh well
ReplyDeleteThat's a tad extreme of a reaction for a JTTS who is getting up there in age.
ReplyDeleteI remember him being over but aside from token new guy jobber squashes I don't remember him actually beating anybody. Rhodes Scholars lost all the time and I remember Cody clearly winning the breakup.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe he really DOESN'T CARE. He knows the business is tough, and shit happens.
ReplyDeleteCM Punk stealing the standard Billy Joel concert sign off of not taking any shit from anybody? I love it.
ReplyDeleteHe's 31.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get why he went to Charlotte for nine per year if he was getting the same from Indiana. Unless what I've read isn't true.
ReplyDeleteOh so now losing matches on TV while being entertaining as a heel isn't OK? I'm having a hard time following the internal logic of your gimmick.
ReplyDeleteHe's going to get this stupid shit over regardless. It's kind of amazing to watch.
ReplyDeleteHis music and driving couldn't be any worse.
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't it? He competed and didn't win. That's a loss in my book.
ReplyDeleteSandow is going to dress up as Papa John, you heard it here first
ReplyDeleteHe was one of the 10 most entertaining acts on a show that is currently unwatchable. He's heel, who cares if he puts guys over. To bury a over act like that is dumb unless you are just playing around on the internet doing a gimmick. Then its good I guess.
ReplyDeleteBlasphemy about the music, but the driving is spot on. Billy Joel almost hit me as a kid in the Bridgehampton Caldor parking lot.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm saying. It's a tough business. Shit like this used to happen all the time and it was just part of the job. Now you get stickers and juice boxes for being tough and not complaining.
ReplyDeleteBiscuit! is right on. He's was making mid 7 figures for at least 2 years, and high 6 low 7 for the 2 or 3 years before that, with very little expenses. If his house is paid for he could live off the interest alone.
ReplyDeleteYou all mean TEAM Rhodes Scholars
ReplyDeleteI'd bet 1 e-dollar he's just another posters gimmick account.
ReplyDeleteOh, for some reason I thought he was in his mid to late 30's. My bad.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Now Jobber will be angry and will troll you too. How DARE you use facts to argue with him!!
ReplyDeleteDude just follow the buzzards already
ReplyDeleteYeah, dude has a story to tell for the rest of his life. And growing up around the business, something tells me it's all good with him.
ReplyDeleteI love Billy Joel. I guess while playing a concert at Notre Dame, he was told not to play "Only the Good Die You" because of the lyric "You Catholic Girls start much to late." He proceeded to play that song at least five times.
ReplyDeleteThey would only offer him a 5 year deal, he didn't want to sign for that long
ReplyDeleteMaybe Well Dunn?
ReplyDeleteYou're trying too hard. I said he was a fun act, but he pretty much always lost. Then you said i had a bad memory or something. Now you're saying that it's ok to lose as a heel. (Chug a coffee, take a deep breath, and start over. You're off your game today)
ReplyDeleteYeah, no doubt. Cena threw fucking stairs at him, I doubt a little hard-way ruined his evening.
ReplyDeleteor an NPP guy.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that Hayward and Parsons got almost double what LS got. Smh
ReplyDeleteMy teeth are much better, thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteYeah, he takes that "Don't take no shit from anyone" pretty liberally when it comes to concerts. At the Grammys in the early 90s, he went on after the show cut off a speech by Frank Sinatra. Playing "River of Dreams," there's a break in the song to lead back into the chorus, and he stretched it out, making comments into the mic of "Valuable commercial time being wasted" while looking at his watch.
ReplyDeleteHit him in the fucking head, too. How that was ok in the age of no unprotected chair shots in the head is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteKnowing what we know of Flair, he probably went backstage and cried about it.
ReplyDeleteDifferent rules for those two guys probably
ReplyDeleteI do remember that being covered, lol. Good music too. Crazy that he hasn't released a new album in like...20 years?
ReplyDeleteHe pee'd in the shower, despite it being all pipes
ReplyDeleteWell Ric Flair is almost certain to die pennyless in a ditch some day, or else be totally cared for by HHH/WWE like some sort of pitiful charity case.
ReplyDeleteStories like this make me chuckle about that.
Probably more than you'd think given Flair's constant debts and inability to stay retired.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and then gigged himself because he felt left out.
ReplyDeleteI'll see that and raise you one Sandow trying to get caught by the Rosebuds and the crowd moving out of the way so he lands on the floor.
ReplyDeleteI like how you have only one comeback to someone calling out your ridiculous statements. You have 5,000 posts as a gimmick. Its enough. Time to move on to something else, or start having conversations like a normal human being. You've run this joke into the ground. No one wants to see it anymore.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Whitlock. If you are the Pacers and want to win now, just give him a two-year deal. That way, if he becomes too problematic, you are not saddled with his contract
ReplyDeleteOh, bullshit. He's not a sadomasochist. He had to act cool about it or he'd be seen as a whiner.
ReplyDeleteSome people don't feel the need to bash everything that the WWE does. I'm right there with him most of the time.
ReplyDeleteWhatever makes you feel right.
ReplyDeleteWhat facts have you used to dispute that its a waste of an act who was over? You're stand by line of "trying too hard" isn't a fact. Do you know what a fact is? Actually you never answered me yesterday when I asked if you understood what buried meant either. Can you give me your understanding of both definitions please?
ReplyDeleteWay to use facts!
ReplyDeleteEh, I'm going to Battleground and I don't feel pissed although we all have known about this match for a while. It's a throwaway PPV but it has some good matches on the card and I'm sure I'll get my $135 worth.
ReplyDeleteI want to see both things happen. WWE SUCKS!! (there! my one moment of weakness!!!)
ReplyDeleteYou could have gotten a nice payday
ReplyDeleteA lot of things used to be a part of everyone's job, but society has weeded most of it out because it's fucking insane. Unprotected chair shots and gushing blood used to be a part of wrestling, now we know that concussions and hepatitis really aren't that cool.
ReplyDeleteThis was during the point in the 80s where he was crying poverty over his business manager stealing a good chunk of his money. Trying to bleed money from a stone was nothing my family was interested in.
ReplyDeletePlus, I got out of the way pretty quick. He just wasn't paying attention while driving.
Is jacking a motherfucker in the face still allowed though?
ReplyDeleteDecades and decades of wrestlers priding themselves on not complaining lest they be seen as whiners tell me I'm right.
ReplyDeleteHaha. wwe.com has a funny typo. "This Sunday's free WWE Battleground Kickoff will feature fighting Funkadactyls as Cameroni squares off against Naomi in a one-on-one match."
ReplyDeleteSounds like it'd be way more fun and memorable at the Royal Rumble, though.
ReplyDeleteIf someone is going to take liberities, then it damn well should be.
ReplyDelete*GRAMMAR SLAM!!*
ReplyDeleteMan if you just coukd have taken a stunt fall over his hood you might own the publishing to Piano Man.
ReplyDeleteI love it when artists just say "fuck you" to whatever higher up is telling them not to sing a song or verse like Jim Morrison or Johnny Cash.
ReplyDeleteCameron is taking Spinnerooni lessons from Booker. It's a tip off that she's going to debut the Cameroni at Battleground.
ReplyDeleteWell at least now he knows and knowing is half the battle!
ReplyDeleteGI JOE!
ReplyDeleteAh, that makes the story easier to understand. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWell that Charlie Manson guy over at NPP brags he's somebody here....
ReplyDeleteWell if he's ever in a pinch he could always throw Joey Mercury out of his house and sell it.
ReplyDeleteFor a while there in my early 20s, I wouldn't have minded making "Angry Young Man" my official theme.
ReplyDeleteAMERICAN HERO!
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn that Bo was just in a Battle Royal about two weeks ago (and got thrown out). Did I imagine that?
ReplyDeleteIf that's the end of Sandow then that's too bad. He's been reliably entertaining for years.
ReplyDeleteGood thing about Rose though. He and Ryder may both be very nice guys in real life, but both of their characters need to die in house fires.
Parallax has said he somehow figured out vj was that guy. I believe it because that dude seems stupid enough to waste his time making 5,000 gimmick posts. I get lots of hate having been here too long/talking too much but I'd lose steam working a message board gimmick after a day or two.
ReplyDeleteNo, you're right. Wasn't that the one Roman Reigns won to get into the MITB match?
ReplyDeleteThe worker is good, but the gimmick may have run its course. Why not send him down to NXT to repackage and come back strong?
ReplyDeleteit's not a spoiler when we all were expecting it
ReplyDeleteAdam Rose just doesn't translate to the big stage. His entrance looked cool as hell in NXT because it's such a small building that he's basically filling the scant amount of empty space with what looks like this huge party. But on Raw, it just looks like a few idiots bouncing around.
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt. Gotta take advantage of the situation. Keep working the cut!!
ReplyDeleteAgreed on "Backlash 2003" - it wasn't a great match or anything, but I didn't think it was the 1* or whatever affair that Scott gave it. They were both still pretty green at that point, but watching it back years later, you can really see flashes of brilliance from both of them in that match.
ReplyDeleteSame thought here. Where was "Conquerer of the Streak"?
ReplyDeleteOr better yet, "Client of Paul Heyman, and Conquerer of the Streak".
Never heard of Charlie Manson, and while I will not deny having posted on NPP in the past, I am certainly not a regular poster now (that can be said about 99.9% of people, as only like 3 people post there now, lulz)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much the finish tainted that match, because that was absolutely a 5* brawl. Go back and watch it, it's amazing.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about payment, but they've definitely used UFC footage/photos before for Brock.
ReplyDeleteHe's never been a good word maker.
ReplyDeleteRollins has until June to use the MITB, I think that'll help fill-in some of the usual post-WM lull.
ReplyDeleteInterest? What interest? Banks are not even giving out 1% interest. Most money markets are like 0.5% at best. So if he had let's say 10 million in the bank, with 0.5% that's only 50,000. 50K isn't much to live on, especially with his high health insurance (which is probably 2K a month).
ReplyDeleteHe CAN live on it, but who knows if he's good with money or not.
The point is that living ONLY off of interest is very difficult. If he got like a 30K podcasting job or something, that's fine. He's set then.
I think the more important question, Mr. Jordan, is this, and I demand an answer immediately!
ReplyDeleteAre you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist Party?
TJ: By the way, has anybody else been watching the music videos Weird Al has been putting out the last few days (he's putting one new video out everyday for eight days)? Pretty good stuff so far. I REALLY like Word Crimes (Blurred Lines), Tacky (Happy) was pretty good and Foil (Royals) has some funny moments.
ReplyDeleteThe shock could have given you a heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack! (I also love Billy Joel)
ReplyDeleteOnly push he's had is with Cody in the tag divison and failing to win the titles mutliple times. That's it for him.
ReplyDeleteThe Noid.
ReplyDeleteI've found myself checking out Thea Trinidad (TNA's Rosita) in the Party Posse more than paying attention to what Rose is doing recently.
ReplyDelete... Is that PARTY TIME, ALL THE TIME? If so, sign me up!
ReplyDeleteJORDAN CRUSH!!!!
(that`s all i have)
I'm pretty sure the faux injury to Rollins on Monday night was a way to work out Plan B and move on to Plan C without Rollins losing the briefcase. Plus, it could push back the Ambrose-Rollins match a bit.
ReplyDeleteThe workers not much good either, unfortunately.
