Damn Lashley didn't look bad for once. Anyone find it funny his name is L + Ashley? :D[/quote]

That's your opinion, Vince shot him a great line with the "Did you just call me Vince" bit, and Lashley just stood there grinning like an idiot. The guy shouldn't be given a mic. Oh well, I guess at least it's ECW so not much of anyone is watching and he can get some practice.

Well yea, obviously it's my opinion... You don't think Lashley looked better tonight than he usually does? Sure he needs to hone his charisma a bit, but I'd say tonight's Lashley definitely showed improvement.

Baby steps perhaps. He's still far from polished, and I doubt he'll ever be like Rock, Austin, etc on the mic. That doesn't mean he's a lost cause though, Lashley really has the look of a dominant heel, he just has the voice of a sweet little 5 year old girl. Very odd combo.

I agree with you on another thing, though i disagree with you as he really did seem to show improvement. I think his improvement can be linked to the fact that he simply can't work well by himself and needs a good foil in somebody; in this case Vince.

Yeah I mean that makes sense... he definitely does have the heel look too. I mean, he's black! :lol: Just kidding of course... I don't want to trigger another one of myke's anti-anti-PC monologues.

:lol: Anyway, I say he has the heel look to him just because he's so freakishly big, where traditionally the babyface's were the smaller guys... of course Hogan & Warrior failed to fit that stereotype, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

When they move Lashley over to Raw, and I'm assuming this will happen sooner than later as Vince is already working a program with him, will he be face or heel when he inevitably faces Cena?

:whistle2:k There's crazy rumors circulating that Teddy Long is out as GM on SD and being moved into another role. Perhaps he will manage Lashley? Probably a long shot (no pun intended), but could really help Lashley in the long-run.

Knowing WWE, Teddy will end up managing Mark Henry again instead. I wonder if Henry will be slotted in over on ECW. 90%+ of the ECW roster is expendable, so it wouldn't matter how many of them Mark Henry injured.
 
[quote name='Zenithian Legend']Can we go 1 whole wrestling topic without someone dying? There is some irony in the fact that two wrestlers died during what was supposed to be the Jake the Snake wrestling topic, and neither one of them were Jake.[/QUOTE]
Ok, I admit that got a laugh out of me because of the irony. Jake is going to bury everyone, I promise.

I was watching my WMIV dvd the other day, and Bad News Brown stunningly wins a big battle royal, eliminating Bret Hart at the end - I was almost sure Hart won that one, maybe Vince had the crew go back and edit the ending as he would've still been upset with Bret Hart at the time the dvd came out.
Click to expand...
Hah. By today's standards it sure seems like it, but really Bret was a tag team guy at that point - the Bad News program was his first singles feud since he arrived in the WWF (he was a single for a short time before the Hart Foundation formed, but never had any feuds). Bad News was going to be the interim (read: between Wrestlemanias) main event heel eventually, so they had him do the doublecross and get the win.


Anyone else pick up the new WM3 DVD? I'm about halfway through it, and yes, of course a few of the themes are overdubbed (Steamboat's most regrettably), but it's not terrible. No blurs since it was long before the scratch logo first appeared. It's 18 this week at Best Buy, may be even cheaper elsewhere.

Haven't watched disc 2 yet, which has pop-up videoesque facts that show up during the matches. Sheesh, couldn't they have just put it as a subtitle track on disc 1 instead? LOTS of extras on disc 1 regarding the Steamboat-Savage feud, which is cool.
 
Bad News Brown? Sorry to see him go - that feud with Piper was great. Plus, Bad News was one of the first guys I can recall to use the enziguri in the US.

I watched ECW last night, and I'm still a little confused how Balls Mahoney is left out of the "ECW Originals" group. I understand why, but I'm amused at how no mention has been made of Balls being an original (or Taz, for that matter).

I can't decide who I'd rather see him injure - Holly or the Extreme Expose girls. With Holly, there's even a chance they'll hurt each other. WIth the girls, Henry's sloppy enough we might get a nipple shot.
 
WWE.com has learned that on Monday night, Orton will face Carlito and Ric Flair in a Triple Threat Qualifying Match for the final spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania. While Coachman granted Orton’s wish of a chance to qualify, he also gave Flair and Carlito a second chance. The two battled in what was supposed to be the final qualifying match last Monday, but The Great Khali attacked both, ending the match in a No Contest and leaving the final spot vacant.
Click to expand...
I guess they figured out a way to put Orton in the MITB match.

Also from Smackdown spoilers:

MVP demanded a match with Chris Benoit at WM.

What a waste.
 
Orton was already in the MITB before Carlito/Flair even got in the ring last week. I expected Orton to run in and attack the two, but WWE logic prevails and Khali makes the run in instead. God forbid Khali interrupt a segment as important as the Masters/Duggan bit.
 
The more matches they add to WM, the more I don't want to order it. MVP vs. Benoit?.

Then you got the new breed vs. the originals. If Heat was still on TV, that would be perfect for their pre-PPV match, but it's horrible for the PPV. Not to mention it's got clusterfuck written all over it.

There's also Ashley vs. Melina(hasn't been announced yet). Reminds me of Christy vs. Trish from WM 21, hopefully it won't be that long or as painful as that match was.
 
Kurt Angle responds to the Sports Illustrated:

[quote name='KurtAngleTNA.net']The following is a statement from Kurt Angle regarding the recent Sports Illustrated media reports about the use by athletes of performance enhancing drugs obtained through the internet:

I did not improperly receive prescriptions. It is well documented that in my career I have broken vertebrae in my neck on five occasions and each time the course of treatment was under the care and supervision of my Doctors. Any attempt to link me to the athletes in the current news accounts who may have improperly sought performance-enhancing drugs is without foundation.[/quote]
 
Somewhat wrestling related. But does anyone know if I can found out what wrestling dvd's are rare. Or are they all just over produced?

Some of the dvd's I own are on amazon market place for $20+
 
[quote name='JaytheGamefan']And yet he's still awesome. I plan to buy the WM III DVD this weekend - it's got a bonus CD at Wal-Mart for about $19.[/QUOTE]

I'm kind of disappointed so far. The first disc is fine - the event itself only has a few overdubs (more on that in a minute), and the extras feature some really cool Steamboat & Savage promos, as well as the SNME match between Savage and George Steele where Steamboat makes his surprise return (although having the music overdubbed THERE really hurts). I remember watching that as a kid, it was the second SNME I ever saw and I almost wore the tape out from rewinding the Steamboat appearance over and over.

The second disc is NOT fine. This could have been something really, really cool, but it's just another WWE half-assed effort to cash in that I should have expected. Yeah, little facts or quick picture-in-picture promos come up once in a while during the match....if by "once in a while" you mean one every several minutes. Really weak. They could have easily had one every 30 seconds, but that would require some effort, so fuck it, right? Ugh. I like how they mention Joey Marella died in a car accident during the first match, but then fail to mention Hercules is dead in the following match.


Ok, the overdubs. This is a strange one. It may be the same on the anthology discs, I don't know because I didn't buy them.

They DO overdub Hillbilly Jim's theme - strange because it was a WWF-produced song, but, like the Demoltion theme later on, they may have worked with an outside producer that wanted to get paid.

They DO overdub Ricky Steamboat's theme, which is certainly expected but still disappointing. One of the best entrance themes ever.

They DO overdub Koko B. Ware's theme, which I thought was something he sang on (don't know the name) but I'm not sure. It's replaced with his song from the Piledriver album, which he ALSO sings on. Strange, but fair enough...until you notice:

They do NOT overdub Honky Tonk Man's briefly used first theme, which was almost certainly externally done. You would have thought with the precedent from the Koko B. Ware match that they'd overdub it with his more well-known Piledriver song, but nope.

Oh well, whatever. I'm just glad the original broadcast VHS tapes were in my possession long enough to make copies of the stuff I wanted.

Oh, and here's one of the shots of me with my dad. I was right on the aisle, I think I'm on there like 3 or 4 times...mostly during entrances:

There were closer ones, but I didn't want to post the shot as Piper's coming down because I was COVERING MY EARS. I remember thinking it was way too loud until like 5 matches into it.

I would say that 95% of ECW's roster is bullshit. none of the fit the mold of "extreme" nor are any good/characters I'm interested in. What they should do is a re-revamp of the ECW and keep all the originals, stop this bullshit plot of original versus new-comers (who cares), and set more Extreme matches and let them actually do their moves. What's the point of having Sandman come to the ring with his kendo stick if he isn't going to hit somebody with it and repeatedly? Lashley doesn't fit the mold and can't modify himself to fit in extreme. he's too nice and doesn't have any edge too him. He can't really hold a crowd, and as I said before, he needs some foil - some other person - to feed on to actually show any intensity. ECW should be pretty much its own independant entity of WWE or show very few crossing over points. They definitely need to jumpstart a tag team division and get some better teams involved. Bring back the FBI, set up Tommy Dreamer with his partner in the 90s (was it Sandman? Can't really remember off the top of my head, but wasn't he in a feud with him? I know I have a bloody awesome match between the both of them just after Sandman had his neck broken and Dreamer had his back broken/father died).
 
They shouldn't fix the ECW. Its fall was unfortunate, but poetic -- it's just a shell of its former glory under the WWE umbrella.

Awww fuck....why Orton. He doesn't deserve to be at a Wrestlemania that lame piece of shit. Put Carlito in instead. He's so much more fun to watch. Anybody have any or watch any videos of him in WWC? He's damn great! Shit, even put in Flair since he's going to retire soon. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a final WM as a sendoff.

By the way, what does MVP stand for?

True enough, but damn it I want some chairs, tables, ladders, kendo sticks, etc. etc. etc. wrestling. WSX was decent at first, but has shown its true MTV lackluster colors. TNA, well x-division sucks now and so does most of the show. I still have a glimmer of hope that they may fix ECW. Otherwise its back to Ring of Honor and CZW (I really don't care for this one too much, but their Cage of death is great).

THIS is the fan WWE should be afraid of: hiccup's a lot more casually into the product than us, knows enough but clearly doesn't follow it the way we zealots do, and still finds the product embarassingly bad. Us fuckers aren't going to stop watching, but HE will.

I haven't watched a WWE event in over a month (specifically, RAW) -- before that, years.

(I did check out Stone Cold's return, though... which felt pretty empty.)

you weren't kidding.
 
MVP stands for Montel Vontaveous Porter, and Orton definitely deserves to be in 'Mania before Carlito - he's a main eventer and a former world champ, and he's actually been consistently good in the ring, unlike Carlito, who was just "there" for a long time before this Flair angle lit a fire under him.
 
I watch WWE maybe once every 3 months. Don't know why I bother. TNA I gave up on a while ago . I keep up with the garbage(don't know why I bother) on websites. I guess when you start watching at the age of 6 all the way back in 79 it becomes a part of life.

I am thankful for the DVD sets though.

Funny you should say that because at one point I was super die-hard watch every wrestling show imagineable and kept up with it pretty well. I would say I watched pretty much everything. Used to do channel switching between WCW and WWF Raw before I got PIP. Loved, loved the Attitude era of WWF and the WCW for pretty much its entire run (sucked at the end). Since then, I want to get into it, but its just been g-d awful to bland and boring. now I catch it here and there, but lately been watching quite a few episodes.
 
Continuing my last post, Did anyone ever go to any of the WCW Starcades? I went to one, but to most of the Halloween Havocs and I should find my photos. I believe it was Halloween Havoc 96 or 97, but I was there and I got to take pictures of Randy Savage in his black Macho Man get up, and it was the end of the night after main steel cage event, and I was beginning to get up when my friend was like sit back down motherfuckers, the shows not over. So I was like what the fuck are you talking about? Everyone's leaving. He said they'll be back and told me that somebody was coming back that night. Well guess who it was, Rowdy Roddy Piper. The whole MGM Grand Garden Arena just blew up at the point. He was unbelievable. It was the best cherry on top of any PPV I had ever seen.

Another question, Did anyone got to any of the Halloween Havocs?

You're kidding me right? Carlito has a great gimmick, great tagline (this is debatable I know), and an incredible stage presence. Give me one of those that bland, boring Orton has? Orton doesn't even have charisma like Carlito (I guess that goes with stage presence). Orton doesn't have Carlito's hair either so there, neh:booty: Orton's been pushed to win the belt, but he never deserved it. Even before the "Flair angle", I've been a fan of Carlito's and have enjoyed whenever he comes out. I even liked his Carlito's Cabana
 
Well it seems that Candice Michelle was actually topless during the segment where her towel got ripped off on Raw (uncut in the UK). Vince would have the Divas out there wrestling topless if he could get away with it.

If I go to the TNA house show in April, I'll have attended every major promotion in the past 20 years, save for WCW. It's a shame, as I think Flair's book mentions that the Great American Bash was at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati (wikipedia says that, in 1986, GAB was a tour of 13 shows, and not a single PPV event, which it would later become). I also skipped out on many many Nitros, and even the Souled Out PPV where Benoit won the title from Sid, only to show up on Raw the next night, was at Riverfront Coliseum. I'm a little miffed I never went to an NWA/WCW show.

So you're not actually a robot then? :shock:

I wasn't 100% sure, but I thought Hillbilly Jim's music was dubbed at WM3, as you can generally tell when they're playing something over the normal audio track. Call me crazy, but I actually kind of like Steamboat's dubbed theme, although still not quite the same. Did he ever use that theme? Maybe in WCW or something?

I also thought it was rather odd that Andre had no music, then again I can't really remember what him having a theme... but twas so long ago.

I think the WORST case of dubbing was on the Chris Benoit DVD in a match with Booker T from WCW, Vince opts to give Booker some crazy generic theme instead of his WCW or WWE version of his theme.
 
Brother Ray upset a lot of fans at the previous Impact tapings and so they really let him have it at the next one, which took place on 2/22. A lot of fans were really on his case that night as they chanted "fat pig" at him, not to mention that some of the fans made pig noises in reference to him. There was also a sign with a picture/drawing of a pig and Brother Ray's face was attached to it.
Click to expand...

Best wrestling news I've read in awhile. If I were going to TNA tapings I'd draw a big picture of shit, and write Bubba Ray next to it. I hope he takes all these chants to heart and commits suicide. The irony would be enjoyable on all accounts. The "Fat Pig" thing seems pretty stupid, but it's dumb enough that it could spiral onward, and really get under someone's skin. I can only hope.

[quote name='PhrostByte']Yes... yes yes... No... no no...

I cannot tell you. According to OWW he's running a wrestling school right now owned by himself and his brother Booker.

I always thought the WWE should've picked up Stevie Ray, at least on a short term contract, to feud with his brother, but they never did for whatever reason. Perhaps age? Although, Flair is 106 and only now is he finally talking about retiring. Anyhow, Stevie Ray was definitely one of the all-time great tag team wrestlers, but unfortunatley for him he ended up on the Marty Jannety, Jim Neidhart, Bart Gunn, Tom Zenk, Boris Zhukov side of the break-up.
 
Brutus looks fantastic considering his age, and WWE has dubbed over Booker's theme numerous times - it is production music, and they don't own the rights to it. Luckily, they own the King Booker theme, so that'll probably go unchanged forever.

As for Carlito, I've been a big fan of his since '04 when he debuted, but he's lost a lot of momentum in the past year due to laziness, and now he's finally regaining some of it by finally having good matches on a regular basis again. Orton may not be the most charismatic guy in the world, but he's very good in the ring, and has been a fantastic sidekick for Edge since Rated RKO began.

That music is on most of the PPV DVD from '01-'03 for his entrances. Wrestlemania X8 for Gamecube also has that music. It seems weird that after all the years, they finally decided to pay the money to license the music. It's just like Kane, up until Summerslam '03, the music he has now was redubbed with his music he had when he first debuted. Heck, Bischoff had "Back in Black" as his entrance music when he was announced as Raw GM and now everytime they replay it, it's his regular music.

Honestly, I just wish that WWE would just cough up the money for the original music instead of putting generic crap in it's place.
 
The money it would cost to replace a minute of an entrance theme would be far better spent elsewhere - I don't like it when music is replaced, but I understand why WWE doesn't want to pony up the cash. It costs thousands of dollars to license the tunes, and they certainly aren't going to get that money back unless it's on a DVD that stands a good chance of selling really well.

Are you writer for one of the wrestling magazines or something? I would love to go to that many major events, but I don't have the cash and they don't come on a regular basis anymore like they did with Halloween Havocs. By they way, I looked it up and I was at the 96 and 97 Havocs. Trying to find the rest of my memorabilia or pictures.

I wish I knew what this laziness people have been talking about. I think he's been far entertaining and consistent compared to Orton who makes me change the channel and bores the shit out of me (sometimes literally ;))

I meant to say I've seen shows from every major promotion, save NWA/WCW. I'm not a writer for any mag. Too many dirtsheets rely on free labor, and I'm not about to do that (despite my love for paragraphs-long posts here ;)).

I've been to a dozen and a half WWF/WWE shows. The PPVs I've been to include KOTR 1999, KOTR 2001, Cyber Sunday 2006, and maybe another one or two.

I've been to 7 or 8 ROH shows, all of them in Dayton, OH.

I've been to 2, maybe 3 ECW shows. a couple of TNN TV Tapings as well as November to Remember 2000 (when Corino won the title).

I've been to hundreds of HWA shows, and 2-3 OVW shows as well, and also a smattering of indies.

I wish I held onto my ticket stubs for wrestling shows and concerts, b/c I can't remember who I have and haven't seen in my life anymore.
