Random Wrestling Thoughts (Part 2)

ERG89

I'd hate to see what Heyman & Russo could come up.with together on a bad day. Some absolute trash by Heyman since he was given a role on Raw.

Jaysus you take someones random thoughts way to seriously.

What an odd way to react when someone discusses the thing you chose to write on a discussion board. Did you make that point and hope we’d all just not acknowledge that you said anything?

$6500 (plus another $400-500 in taxes) for Bray's mess of a title.

For anyone with some money to spare, and a mental illness, this Christmas.

The Trish Stratus 24 was on WWE network just now and I felt Trish came across very well on the show.

You would want to be insane to pay for that.

Jim Ross once said that one of his roles (at least during the 90s when he referred to this era) was to act as the go to guy when a wrestler had a problem. You would "never go to Vince directly first".

John Laurinaitis seemed to have the same type of additional role as many wrestlers referred to going to him first in the mid 2000s.

It appears that may have changed somewhat in recent years. Many wrestlers have stated going to Vince directly. Often having to wait hours outside his office in the arena. That said, surely it would still require some sort of process. Even if that process has changed from the past.

The one thing I always notice when they show Vince's office is that he has a dinosaurs head on the wall. Oh, I just googled it & HHH gave him it as a gift, with his tongue firmly in his own cheek I'm sure.

Vince having a T-Rex head mounted on the wall in his office, it's quiet possibly the most Vince thing ever.

The more I think about it the more I feel the styles of wrestling matches are comparable to that of movies.

For example, if you look at a wrestler like Bret Hart. He was a masterful storyteller in the ring. A superb in ring technician, great in ring psychology, and could work with anyone. His matches are some of the best ever in wrestling and are considered classics. I would say Bret Hart matches are comparable to Martin Scorsese movies. Both Bret and martin are widely regarded as one of the most significant and influential in their art form, and are known for making masterpieces.

Then you have a wrestler like Ricochet. Known for his fast paced in ring action and acrobatic type style of wrestling. His matches would probably be more comparable to the like of the Fast and Furious movies. Those movies are fast paced action movies, which tend to focus on flashy cars and high speed chases, generally they tend to be over the top and somewhat ridiculous but they seem to make a lot of money because they draw in the casual fans. Richochet's style of wrestling wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea though.

Finally you've got a wrestler like Sandman. A wrestler who made his name in ECW who called themselves alternative wrestling. Sandman wasn't a particularly good wrestler, but he got away with it because of his character and his hardcore style of wrestling. His matches would be comparable to pornographies. He's basically a hardcore porn star.

Nope, read it somewhere and posted it here, Found it..interesting lol. Wonder if it's true

Bit random this but sure this is what the thread is for.

Everyone remembers Legacy right? Randy Orton leading 2nd/3rd gen stars Cody Rhodes and Ted Di Biase.



Do you remember though when they briefly added Manu to the ranks, the son of Afa?



Or when they flirted with the idea of bringing in Jimmy Snuka's kid, the former Deuce. Then teased a story where Ted Di Biase was ejected while Manu and Sim Snuka didn't make the cut.



Then it looked like everyone was gonna turn on Randy for being too harsh.



When finally the original trio aligned in a ruse and beat down Snuka and Manu.

I always though they should have given the 2 outcast lads a chance of doing something together. Maybe play off their Islander heritage.



A long way to get a random thought across!

Always though Ted Jr was going to be the Star.

Omackeral

Actually found the segment where the whole thing comes to a crescendo. Starts around 3:30

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsP9Re1JFfo

Snuka and Manu were fairly brutal on the mic in retrospect.

He had all the right elements to be. Young, who his father was and WWE was behind him. I don't think wrestling was for him to be honest. As soon as he left WWE in 2013 he had three matches accordingly. Once in 2013, another in 2016 and finally he retired after a match in 2017. He's only 37 so could still wrestle if he wanted to. Am sure somewhere like AEW would offer him something.

No. He hasn't been Y2J in quite some time, and that's a WWE thing too.

And its no, becuase what he's saying is right

The Revival have that look now

How I would rank North American Wrestling shows I watch at the moment.

1 AEW/NXT

2 NWA Power

3 Impact

4 MLW

5 Smackdown/RAW



Not counting Lucha Underground as it looks like it is finished but that would be to 3 if still active and not counting ROH as I haven't watched it in a long time now.

Outside of randy Orton I was the same. I mean he had the history being a third generation superstar through his dad and both his grandparents(that's got to be unique) and to just look at him he like randy Orton passed the eyeball test for me. He also showed he could go in the ring. It's a shame as in recent WWE history his dad was as naturally gifted a wrestler I've ever seen. The million dollar man had a great gimmick and could run rings around hogan and just savage in the ring.

There's a great card available on FITE next weekend from Warrior Wrestling. Minoru Suzuki/Tom Lawlor alone makes the price worth it, you also get Ospreay, Rocky & Red/The Rascalz, Cage/ELP and Archer/Pillman Jr., along with a Kurt Angle appearance.

To be fair, all three of them looked like CAWS.

Looking back on it now, that stable was very bland looking. When you look at past wrestling stables, most of them had members who were all unique looking compared to each other.

NWO - Hogan, Hall and Nash all had their own unique looks.

DX - Triple H, Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, Chyna and the New Age Outlaws all looked different.

Nation of Domination and Minstry of Darkness - all individual members stood out from each other.

The Shield - Same outfits but different looks.

Even Evolution was unique. Legacy looked very bland and boring.

Great idea on paper but it bombed
