Hi Scott. Big fan of yours since the golden age of the WWE (2000).
I wanted to ask you a question: Who are, in your opinion, the most injury-prone wrestlers in the business? And on the other side of the coin, who are the most injury inducing wrestlers you've seen?
Finally, do you think being injury-prone effects a wrestler's status in the company? It seems like the WWE brass lost faith in Daniel Bryan partially because he was out with a neck injury for 6+ months after giving him a huge push.
Well, Bob Orton was walking around with a broken wrist for like 15 years, so he really has to be up there. How did he keep getting cleared by the medical staff?
These ones were answerable.
ReplyDeleteWhy dont they just make the plane out of the same stuff they make the indestructible black box out of?
ReplyDeleteAhmed Johnson.
ReplyDeleteEnd thread.
Or, if he was around to say it: "UND! TRUD!"
Y does Stingr tidal match?
ReplyDeleteSOMEBODY GONBA GET HIS ASS WHIPPED!
ReplyDeleteThat somebody was usually Mark Henry himself.
Wow, from IC title match to pre show match against the most recent call up from the farm system. That, in theory is a pretty good demotion.
ReplyDeleteEdge was AWFUL for this. Every other month he was hurt. Often for months st a time. Probably hurt him more than anything.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair to WWE, it wasn't a planned demotion. He's collateral damage.
ReplyDeleteRey Mysterio
ReplyDeleteMark Henry
Wade Barrett
.....Daniel Bryan (?)
New England Style, aka "Sensible Shit Style"
ReplyDeleteRandy Orton's shoulders seem to be made of styrofoam.
ReplyDeleteKennedy/Anderson seemed like he was tearing a new muscle every 6 months. Weird, given that he never, ever, superdoublepinkyswear used steroids. Huh.
Rey Mysterio's knees and legs were/are bubblegum-coated balsa wood.
Nash's quads/knees.
Here we go, Adrian!
ReplyDeleteThe same reason that a flimsy Kia is safer than a hulking 60's Thunderbird. The weaker body collapses and absorbs the shock that would otherwise be transferred to the passenger after a crash.
ReplyDeleteI doubt the claim that tonight is the first televised Russian Chain Match. Even if you claim RUSSIAN chain match is different from a Chain Match, there have been others before now with Koloff
ReplyDeleteI'm not aware if Neville and Barrett ever crossed paths on the indies before arriving in WWE. I'm hoping that they did and are eager for a chance to tear it up in front of a big crowd.
ReplyDeleteAre you diabetic, or have some other reason why you need a meal to survive three hours?
ReplyDelete.."updates throughout the night" Here's a tinfoil hat special: They're so scared of crowd revolt they're going to cover their bases, tease updates, have Barrett come out mid show and insist the belt should be his.....have Bryan come out "wounded" and win, with the mystery angle being BS out of Chicago fear
ReplyDeleteThe only correct answer to this is Edge.
ReplyDeleteI would still think that as the number one contender to a title you would warrant a little better. Especially with a slot obviously opened on the main card.
ReplyDeleteEdge kept getting injured at inopportune times. Right when he was transitioning to a main eventer in '03, then 2 month after he became the tippy top guy of SmackDown, then tore his Achilles when he and Edge were gonna be what ended up as JeriShow
ReplyDeleteGee guys I wonder if Kane helps Rollins.
ReplyDeleteANyone else watching the youtube preshow? And if so is the HD not working for you because it isn't for me.
ReplyDeleteThey clearly haven't decided what they want to do with the title.
ReplyDeleteI'd argue the tag title match is more deserving of the slot on the card than a thrown together Barrett/Neville match.
Which is better: chain match, bullrope match, or dog collar match?
ReplyDeleteWas the tag match the original preshow?
ReplyDeleteI'm always surprised the Pre-show doesn't stream on WWE.COM so they could put a link to the sign up page right next to it.
ReplyDeleteHoping Orton wins tonight.
ReplyDeleteChain on a pole.
ReplyDeleteClash 3 had Koloff vs Morton I believe. On TBS.
ReplyDeleteYes, it has been pushed up to the main card because of the Neville/Barrett match being on the pre-show.
ReplyDeleteAh, Biker Chain match. The one with Lesnar and Taker was decent.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll turn the show on for background noise, but I don't know if I care about any of these matches.
ReplyDeleteRemember how last year they had a WeeLC match on the preshow?
ReplyDeleteI miss comedy matches on PPVs, i think the levity makes for a better overall show.
Oh, ok. I didn't realize that and I agree. That does seem fair.
ReplyDeleteBring back the Dragon Chi Match!
ReplyDeleteOdds of "it was a plan all along, that is BRILLIANT Maggle!" as the last words before we fade to black -
ReplyDelete2/1
Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal taking sick bumps in a match they weren't in was some fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteTHAT WOULD BE HORRIBLE BOOKING!!!!
ReplyDeleteNothing says extreme quite like banning moves.
ReplyDeleteIt would've been better if they did dog collar style.
ReplyDeleteHES NOT OVER
ReplyDeleteSome of the old gimmicks just wouldn't work as well today; Rich the Bruiser wouldn't be any good.
ReplyDeleteOne Hold Barred match
ReplyDelete"He might have to pull out something new something old..." is he getting married?
ReplyDeleteHow did Bob Orton keep getting cleared to wrestle?
ReplyDeleteHe was the first successful recipient of Dr. James Andrews' tapeitupectomy.
I miss when injured IC champs would honor their PPV obligations and defend in -***** matches.
ReplyDeleteMABEE AS A MIDCARDER NUT TEH MAIN EVUNT!
ReplyDeleteIt seems rather transparent, maybe even 3/2 odds
ReplyDeleteCarrying on the indelible spirit of WCW Uncensored.
ReplyDeleteI want Bayley in a dog collar match.
ReplyDeleteChicago already chanting New Day Sucks all on their own.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't any Extreme Rules matches at Extreme Rules are there?
ReplyDeleteYuuuuup
ReplyDeleteSo we know that Payback will have Kane facing either Rollins or Orton dependant on if he turns tonight.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping he ends up facing Orton so Rollins can have a title match against a better opponent.
\_0___/
ReplyDeleteAnd I want Sasha.
ReplyDeleteDidn't see that leaked TV spot, eh?
ReplyDeleteHint - CHOO CHOO
Holy shit had I not stopped by here, I never would have remembered this was tonight.
ReplyDeleteIs there some sort of scientific explanation for headaches being way more common on Sundays?
ReplyDeleteRenee Young is literally the only reason I bother with these fucking pre-shows anymore.
ReplyDeleteHangovers from Saturday?
ReplyDeleteRenee mentions the Blackhawks, gives a shoutout to Duncan Keith....Punk begins rethinking everything.
ReplyDeleteStreet Fight is pretty much the same thing, but I agree it seems strange.
ReplyDeleteMake either the Divas or tag match Extreme Rules, add something different from the same match we've already seen on tv
Every time I hear Duncan Keith, I think of that song "I Know What You're Doing"
ReplyDeletePunk's writing a Drax (GotG) solo comic. I'm not a Marvel guy by any means, but I'll be checking this out.
ReplyDelete"Barely Breathing", 90s kids represent
ReplyDeleteNaomi is heel now? Is she working an angry black woman gimmick? "AH NAW SHE DIT INT!" :: Head shake thing ::
ReplyDeleteNaomi must be heel, she's wearing Black leather.
ReplyDeleteJudging from Naomi's outfit, she's a face tonight.
ReplyDeletePunk beings rethinking cause he hasn't slept with Renee yet. Trades AJ to Ambrose for Renee.
ReplyDeleteI saw that... good for him to be doing all the stuff he likes to do.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's the right title.
ReplyDeleteDiesel?
ReplyDeleteDamn Naomi has some serious abs.
ReplyDeleteNaomi fine as hell.
ReplyDelete"Everybody hated Melina"
ReplyDeleteShaaaaaaaaade
He's facing A-Train?
ReplyDeleteSome serious ass too.
ReplyDeleteYeah that hasn't always been the case has it? She looks shredded.
ReplyDeleteLol at Booker still burying Melina.
ReplyDeleteThat's a shoot brother.
ReplyDeleteAmbrose immediately comes to the commentary table to stake his territory, clearly worried about Renee's Blackhawks mention.
ReplyDeleteGet Dean a new mic please!
ReplyDeleteOrton seemed like he was getting injured every year, but that seemed to have stopped recently.
ReplyDeleteThe crowd is jacked.
ReplyDeleteAmbrose is so 90's looking... I bet he just came from a Mudhoney concert.
ReplyDeleteWell *I* go to Chicago for deep dish pizza.
ReplyDeleteNaomi is kind of crap interview.
ReplyDeleteTouch me I'm SICK
ReplyDeleteYeah, not really shade when it's true.
ReplyDeletePunk: "Jake Roberts put his snake on your face, well I'm gonna put my snake on Renee's"
ReplyDeleteHarper should totally use the power bomb as his finisher.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny: Some trolls start a hashtag #FeministsAreUgly and feminists respond by posting half naked pictures of themselves. Well played trolls.
ReplyDelete"They banned piledrivers?"
ReplyDeleteAmbrose is zany.
I stashed a fat nug of some fire tree in my room somewhere and now I can't remember where I hid it. Goddamnit...
ReplyDeleteI bet he has both the No Alternative and If I Were A Carpenter CD's in his car.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anyone using any kind of powerbomb as a finisher at the moment.
ReplyDelete(waits for someone to correct me)
When I was a teenager I had a great spot in my closet ceiling to stash stuff.
ReplyDelete"One of the nerd favorites kissing someone's ass in front of a nerd crowd...this is gonna be GREAT, pal!"
ReplyDeleteRenee looking much cuter than she did at 'Mania. I am glad someone checked the suggestion box.
ReplyDeleteMe either. Owens uses the pop-up version, but the straightforward power bomb is ripe for a reappearance.
ReplyDeleteVery brave children's voices in Chicago, lol.
ReplyDeleteI wanna curb stomp a femiNAZI from my college.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid I had this big medical book that was hollowed out and I hid all my shit in that.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if the Sheamus/Ziggler feud is going to lead to a Hair Vs Hair match.
ReplyDeleteThat would make far more sense than a Kiss My Arse match.
Nice recent comparison, Byron.
ReplyDeleteBrian Bosworth?
ReplyDeleteYou should put your dong in her mouth, that'll shut her up.
ReplyDeleteAny dong to mouth opportunity should be taken.
ReplyDelete"Steph, this is clearly your queendom...what will you name it?"
ReplyDeleteDolph probably wouldn't be facing this downward-sloping career trajectory if he could pry himself away from Twitter for 15 minutes.
ReplyDeleteLike, the feminists hate her. The other feminists are cool with everyone, except that little cunt.
ReplyDeleteThe Steph interview only matters if Jericho calls her a trashbag ho before asking if Macho got her started.
ReplyDeleteMysterio
ReplyDeleteAngle
Edge
Mark Henry
Christian
Barrett
Orton
Bryan
And kinda cena
There should have been over/under on how many times Renee said "arse".
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna criticize his THAT'S A SHOOT BRUTHA tweets about Sheamus over the weekend, lol.
ReplyDeleteBig Steph, The Authority seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?
ReplyDeleteI'm 6'6", 300 pounds, and have even less neck than Brock Lesnar...
ReplyDelete"Little cunt"... Yeah, your English is definitely getting better.
ReplyDelete"Stephanie, without knowing precisely what the danger is, would you say it's time for our viewers to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?"
ReplyDelete"Yes, I would, Kent."
Fuck that little cunt, she looks a doll.
ReplyDelete*Principal Nash sees wrecked student area after lunch*
ReplyDeleteARGH MY QUAD
Punk is Minnesota and Ambrose is Cleveland in that deal.
ReplyDelete"I brought my own mic!"
ReplyDeleteSo I guess Toronto has pretty much given up.
ReplyDelete*flips ATV*
ReplyDeleteARGH MY QUAD
Why do you think she's married to HHH, she has a thing for old guys.
ReplyDeleteAny chance Caliber sent a audition in for Tough Enough?
ReplyDeleteWell said, Renee Young. I like that they're punishing people for shooting videos vertically.
ReplyDeleteLike all of their sports teams. They all say D'oh.
ReplyDeleteHe'd be leaving money on the table if he didn't.
ReplyDeleteYeah the crazy feminists are annoying as fuck. But it's best to ignore them for the most part. So am I just getting older or are more feminists seeming to get crazier?
ReplyDeleteKane is working Roman on house show, coming up
ReplyDeleteFuck her? Is she going to be in NY in the near future? I'll give her a tour of the beer cooler, if you catch my drift...
ReplyDeleteUgh a last man standing match? If ever there was a stip that should go away.
ReplyDelete#FattBuff
ReplyDeleteAhmed Johnson was up there too. Tons of pushed derailed due to injuries.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna tell you from my experience, from the exception of that little cunt, they're all nice people with reasonable arguments.
ReplyDeleteHey, at least it's a shark cage match. Or a Russian chain match.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.harkavagrant.com/?id=341
ReplyDeleteIf the Chicago crowd goes creative and, along with the END THIS MATCH chant, starts counting REALLY FAST to 10 when a count starts...that'd be hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAll those poor schmucks who don't realize they don't meet Vince's fap criteria.
ReplyDeleteI'm not down with the pit hair. I even find pit hair on guys odd.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting on the mythic "fuck you both" chant.
ReplyDeleteYou know when people say 'I don't dislike Roman, I hate the way he's been pushed', yeah well I dislike him. He's shit.
ReplyDeleteHA.
ReplyDeleteLMS is the worst... it is literally one guy laying there, one guy standing there, and the ref trying to make counting to 10 dramatic.
ReplyDeleteI hope Chad Bryant sent one.
ReplyDeleteI like the gimmick. For every bad match where the gimmick hurt the math overall, there is an amazing match that the gimmick only improved.
ReplyDeleteThe ones I met are all shaved.
ReplyDeleteBah I wanted to make this joke but couldn't remember his fucking name.
ReplyDeleteUgh, Reigns/Big Show is LMS? That is gonna get SHIT on by the Chicago crowd.
ReplyDeleteWell, to be fair, he was JUST out with another injury.
ReplyDeleteHey, I haven't been shy in my opinion of the man, lol.
ReplyDelete"You say feminists are ugly, huh? HOLD UP, BRO. LET ME GET OUT THESE TITTIES."
ReplyDeleteHITC needs to go away.
ReplyDeleteRESPECT THAT, SIBLING!
ReplyDeleteHITC would be fine if it were used randomly and correctly.
ReplyDeleteElimination Chamber too.
ReplyDelete"This is going to get ugly"
ReplyDeleteAnother shoot comment. They're going off script tonight.
ABQ police just tweeted out that can't confirm Jon Jones is in custody but they can confirm they are investigating.
ReplyDeleteThat kind of confirms it right? If this was just a rumor, why would you investigate?
This crowd is jacked! They're louder during the pre-show than most cards are during the main event.
ReplyDeleteChicago is not going to be kind tonight. The Punk chants have already started.
ReplyDeleteCM Punk! CM Punk!
ReplyDeletePart of something for the first time in his career?
ReplyDelete"I should have went over at Wrestlemania 19" will be next.
ReplyDeleteJesus, that Punk chant drowned out mic'd up Booker.
ReplyDeleteOf course. But it's not.
ReplyDeleteWhat's happening? Been offline all day.
ReplyDeleteThat needed to be a total Goldberg-esque "get in/get out" squash, not a protracted thing where both guys lay around. The lull in between counts is pretty much BEGGING fans to start chanting.
ReplyDeleteWhat's with these weird cuts between Reigns/Show and Rollins/Kane promos? Is this happening to anyone else?
ReplyDeleteYeah, pretty much every femist I have known has been cool and nice. Just hearing about some of the antics of the younger feminists have made me wonder if I'm just getting too old.
ReplyDelete"6'6", 300 lbs?!! OH YEAH!!!"
ReplyDeleteStupid stupid stupid!
ReplyDeleteThat needs to go away just for the safety factor.
ReplyDeleteBut that's not the math' fault... LMS just sucks by its very nature.
ReplyDeleteAllegedly Jon Jones was arrested after being involved in a 3 car accident. He fled the scene, cocaine was found in his car.
ReplyDeletePlus, it sounds like the result of a night of Taco Bell and Coors.
ReplyDeleteThere is fanatism in all movements. I'm left guy, that doesn't mean I'm on board with everything.
ReplyDeleteBrat Wyatt zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteSpeak to me Wyatters?
ReplyDeleteIf WWE is going to continue not listening to fans, then they simply need to stop coming to places like Chicago. Then again, smark cities are the only places where the product ever looks over.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about Ironman matches.
ReplyDeleteDo you guys have any idea who the sound guy is on these messages?
ReplyDeleteI did answer. Thought long and hard about how to troll the blog with it, too. Let's not diminish my efforts here.
ReplyDeleteThat hashtag is the equivalent of "Hello Dean? You're a stupidhead!" I only get mad when the respondents put up pictures of Beyonce. Fuck the Beyhive. Buncha losers.
ReplyDeleteThe Dana White media friends have been strangely silent all day today.
ReplyDelete"The buckets, Undertaker! When you look into the depths of your soul, you will see that buckets amass. The vibrations of the universe are settling in rhythm with your failures. But when you look deep into the bucket, and its bottomless abyss, what will comfort you then, Undertaker? What will comfort you then?"
ReplyDeleteI guess I already missed the tag team match.
ReplyDeleteFirst Blood would've been better and just have Reigns murder Big Show.
ReplyDeleteDude, that's fucked up. Don't insult the good name of Taco Bell by associating them with Coors.
ReplyDeleteNope it's on the main card.
ReplyDeleteCole's not dead anymore?
ReplyDeleteWhy stop coming when it is a sell out every time?
ReplyDeleteGive us some Bad News about DB, get some heat.
ReplyDeleteI wish Hulk Hogan matches would come back. Hogan doesn't have to wrestle them - but I want to see someone no sell and laugh at Cena's finisher.
ReplyDeleteYou can't kill Cole. He's outlasted Stevie Richards.
ReplyDeleteWorse, pretty sure they went with "considering legal action"
ReplyDeleteRoh row...
ReplyDeleteCesaro made the main card? I'm shocked.
ReplyDelete
