Re: Dumbest Booking Decisions in wrestling history

You forgot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz1DHgdVKeE I'd throw in Eddie Guerraro unmasking all the luchadores and forming the LWO. Even if Eddie hadn't been injured, what they hell were they going to do with that. They were already jobbing everyone but Rey, as evidenced when they killed an angle w...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

McMahon is attempting to divert all young talent that might be future money draws to Evolve and/or NXT . The end game is to leave all potential future rivals with a talent pool that will not draw a dime. That way once again McMahon will have total control of the wrestling talent. Guys like the Buck...

As to the O'Reilly thing, I have the real scoop: he is either going to stay, or leave. Nothing in-between.

Re: The NXT Thread

Are they doing anything with Biff Busick yet. It's been over a year and the only thing I saw was a name change for him to something considerably worse than what he was currently going by.

Re: DGUSA/EVOLVE Thread

So Hero is still in Evolve.....the whole Hero back to WWE was crap? Hero chided whoever 'broke' the story as it being untrue. I just saw the posted match of him and Cody. It almost looks like he's put on more weight. I don't care (hell, I was Dusty fan), but if he has, the 'E' might be wary of sign...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

Cedric was delivering in the ring at that time. The problem was that he wasn't put in a position for people to care about him. I don't remember a single thing that he did between the title shot against Elgin and the heel turn nine months later other than the TV Title match at ASE- which only happen...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

Is this the new thing to claim that Alexander was this huge wasted opportunity even though they gave him the ball a bunch of times and tanked over and over ? When he had his 'breakout' match in the E's CWC, all of a sudden history was rewritten and he was full of pure awesomeness and why oh why did...

No TPT for 2017? No there is. It begins at the Pittsburgh TV tapings. Sweet. I'll be there. Got to see the finals back in '14 with that Hoss battle. Still irked London flaked off that show. Wasn't the excuse, "I was upset i learned I'd be facing Cedric instead of Roddy'. Which was announced at...

ACH>>>>Cedric I couldn't possibly disagree more. Every show I went to, the crowd pop for ACH was always far, far greater than Cedric, even when Ced was being pushed. It's almost painful when you're cheering for a guy, and you realize you're one of the few who are doing it since you can hear yoursel...

Re: DGUSA/EVOLVE Thread

Am I mistaken but I thought AR Fox had heat with Gabe? There was some for some inane reason on Gabe's part. But it seems to have died off, or Gabe needs him that badly. And floslam is starting to post some of the EVOLVE matches. I got the blu ray of this, and really enjoyed this match between Ospra...

I'm going to surprise myself by agreeing he has gotten better after his absence. I now kind of look forward to seeing him, and I enjoyed him enough for a solid mid-upper card guy.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Interesting words by Jerry Lynn about his ROH title run at X-Pac's podcast. I’m was glad for my run in Ring of Honor. It actually did reignite my career for some more years, kept me going. But after the first weekend loop, after the second night, I said to Adam Pearce, who was booking at the time, ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I have a truly random thought: How many former Special K members are still wrestling besides Jay Lethal? I'm sure there's someone, but I'll be damned if I can think of who it would be.

Re: craziest spots ever

How can we forget the Mulkey Brothers getting the crap kicked out of them every weekend. One of them takes two really bad ones back to back starting at 4:27. The sound of flesh smacking the concrete that hard.

Re: Supercard of Honor XI - Lakeland/Orlando, FL

The feeling I got when I first watched the DBD match many years ago is that the crowd went into it wanting sh*t on Jeff, but Jeff's performance definitely post-facto justified the reaction he got. A case of the crowd not grasping the proper dynamics of booing a wrestler. They gave it their all at t...

He just wrapped a ROH camp also. The knee-jerk reactions from some of these guys really makes you shake your head sometimes.
Social Media and impulse control issues go together as well as juggling matches in pools of gasoline.

Re: (BLOG) Why the Beer City Bruiser Rules

He's one of those guys that helps round out a card and somehow manages to be fun each time I've seen him live. And they have him in the right role as BCB works as Silas' 'Arn', or at least an Amish Roadkill , only with more beer and less teeth. :)

These names aren't exactly winners, I agree, but I think it'll still be good to have them individualized as opposed to what we've gotten the past couple years.

Re: 2016 ROHWorld Pick 'Ems Standings

Apparently the 3 show handicap I gave myself was a little *too* generous to make this year's field competitive. I won't go soft on everyone next year.
