    A combination of surname and first name.

    I'd have thought it was a combination of surname and in the rats when you were registering

    I actually was demented when I was registering every year. The bar was right across from the exam hall we used have to go to. Big happy head on me in the photo for the student card every year.:pac:

    Besides the Tombstone.I think I remember Hbk using it most recently don't as me who against(maybe Taker), I remember people were wondering how he was allowed to do it.Apparently WWE trust veterans like Hbk doing it but don't expect David Otunga to do one in the next match he has.

    I remember him giving cena one on the steps at 23.
    Bit of a shock when he done it.

    I'm fairly sure Lawler used one recently on The Miz. Maybe at No Way Out? Or it could've been in their TLC match.

    Yeah.

    How does the taker do that thing with his eyes?

    Also what the name of his new entrance songs.

    He teased one but he didn't actually do it.

    Lads, I just deleted a number of posts for nonsensical posts and pointless bickering. What part of *NO CHAT* do you not understand?

    If you think a guy is constantly trolling, report the post(s). Leave it up to myself and BH to sort it out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,980 ✭✭✭Degag


    I think Lawler is (or at least was) allowed to use the piledriver after it was banned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,101 ✭✭✭MitchKoobski


    The piledriver that's banned in the Texas piledriver, where they have the head between the legs and jump up in the air.

    The one that seems to be allowed at times is a sort of pulling piledriver, where they set it up like its a powerbomb, but fall backwards and pull the waist with them to turn it into a piledriver. Removes the danger that was involved with the old fashioned jumping type.

    Who was the first Wrestler to use the lights going out in the arena & then appearing.I'm assuming it was Undertaker but I know Sabu used to do it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 229 ✭✭TheBantam


    In the Hell In A Cell match with Mankind and Undertaker was Mankind meant to go through the top of the cage with that chokeslam?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 148 ✭✭Smoshi


    Yeah i think so

    The ring was set up to sink in when he hit aswell, wasnt it?

    No, I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that the cell wasn't supposed to "cave in" for the chokeslam. When Foley landed in the ring, he was legitimately KO'd for a few seconds

    EDIT: Found the clip, from 2.10 onwards

    I'd imagine its impossible for anyone to answer given the current nature of the product; seems to me people get random pushes which last two - three weeks without warning and said pushes end as quickly...

    The throwing him off the cage was planned, the cage breaking was not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    I heard a guy actually ask foley that question a few years back and he answered by saying something like "well if I was, I wasn't told about it." I lol'd.

    But he did follow it up with he was merely supposed to bs chockslammed onto the chair that was lying on the roof.

    No he wasn't. Incidently the chair that he was supposed to fall on fell down and hit him in the face after he went though the top of the cage and opened a 2 inch hole in his mouth and he lost a few teeth.

    Whats the likelihood of WWE (or even TNA) ever doing a PPV here or in the UK?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    WWE might do something like Insurrexxion again, but the chances of a mainstream PPV happening over these parts in the near future is unlikely.

    As for TNA, more likely, but really who knows?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,013 ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    I think it's an appropriate time to point out the WWF's SummerSlam 1992 at Wembley Stadium was legitimately WWE's biggest crowd ever. Having about 82,000; it smokes WrestleMania III's 78,000.

    WWE have been working that number for over 20 years, saying it's 93,000. Although the maximum capacity for basketball is 78,000...even moving seats around, there's a fire code to adhere to. They'd unlikely even get 80,000.

    Well done WWE. Biggest crowd ever -- let's never do it again. If they didn't do two tours and two TV tapings weeks over here they could do it.....they'd just need to promote a big match at a big PPV.

    ......maybe whenever Barrett is a big-time babyface (unlikely! lol) and challenges for the WWE title they could do it at wembley....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,888 ✭✭✭Charisteas


    Good point Jay. Another option would be to book Ricky Hatton and/or David Haye in a wrestler v boxer match, similar to Mayweather/Big Show at WM. They are huge in England and would be sure to boost ticket sales.

    With the time difference, it's pretty unlikely

    Summerslam 1992 flopped in the USA and thats the important part the USA market is what matters to Vince.
