The Al Snow Wrestling Thread

Deuce is Snuka's adopted son.

SD thoughts -
The HHH-Khali stuff tonight was great - it started off awesome with the wacky INDIAN BROKEN GLASS ARM WRESTLING CONTEST! graphic, and then got better as HHH, Khali, and Singh traded barbs, with HHH mocking Khali's poor English, then substituting Rungin's name with "Bunion" and "Onion", and then getting absolutely destroyed by Khali as a result of his shenanigans. Khali laid him out with THE CHOP, the vise grip, and then got a visual pinfall of sorts on him. This didn't seem to get the crowd into seeing them have a match, but it was effective at making Khali look like a threat to HHH.

The show-long stuff with La Familia didn't do anything for me, but I loved the finale to it with Edge going insane and attacking Chavo, then tipping over Vickie's wheelchair, making him the biggest face in the building until he spoke, which resulted in massive boos again.

MVP-Jeff was built up well again, with Jeff having yet another great match this week, this time with Shelton. Both guys have been on a roll over the past few weeks, and Jeff once again added some new offense, as did Shelton, who used a shoulder-mount running powerslam, something I don't recall him doing before. MVP breaking it up with the step-up kick to the chops was great, as was him teasing giving Jeff some of his bling as a calling card, only to keep it for himself.

The divas opener was an amusing little deal, with Victoria's gymnastics and J.R. rattling off the logic flaws behind having Maria, of Greek heritage, represent skiing for the SUMMER OLYMPICS. Cherry's shadow boxing was pretty funny as well, and Natalya's look improved a great deal with the equestrian getup she was sporting.

THE!~ Brian Kendrick vs. Crazy was a fun match that saw Crazy get in way more offense than I expected. I thought he was traded to ECW in the supplemental draft, which would make sense given his shirt, but on commentary, it was sold that he was on SD and Crazy either didn't get the e-mail, or wore the ECW shirt because it was the only clean one he had - a funny line there, although it's a bit odd to trade a guy up from ECW to SD like they seemingly did.

All in all, I'd say this was a good show, although it was a largely uneventful one, and had some really long boring stretches to it. Still, it effectively built up some PPV matches, and finally did something to make people care about HHH-Khali.

Quotes -
J.R. - Cherry in...pink and black boxing attire.
J.R. - This is a conundrum - Maria’s ancestors are from Greece, Maria’s dressed as a snow skier…for the SUMMER OLYMPICS!
J.R. - Natalya by nature, but naughty by choice.
J.R. - It’s my favorite Asian redneck, Jimmy Wang Yang!
J.R. - Yang channeling Ricky Steamboat with that arm drag.
J.R. - Yang’s got some hops - no doubt about it.
Tazz - Zack Ryder with the ground and pound…
MVP - Jeff Hardy is, was, and always will be his own worst enemy. I just have to be better than you, Jeff Hardy, and everyone else.
J.R. - Charles Robinson was injured a few weeks ago by Khali - he’s back tonight.
J.R. - The strange enigma known as Jeff Hardy, with multi-colored hair and yes, the popularity, has a diverse personality.
Crowd - LET’S GO HARD-DY! LET’S GO HAR-DY!
Hawkins - I can’t find Zach!
Vickie - Did you check catering!?
Tazz - Standing ovation for the King of Kings!
Singh - Before we get this broken glass arm wrestling challenge under way, the Great Khali has something he’d like to say…
Khali - TLIPLE H! WWE SMACKDOWN CHAMPION! GREAT KHALI!
HHH - That’s a really good point… I…honestly, I have no idea what he said.
Singh - The Great Khlai says that you should get out while you can - while you’re WWE Champion. Khali doesn’t care that you’ve beaten some of the best, like the Rock, Big Show, and even Cena. You’ve never gone one-on-one with the Punjabi Nightmare, the Great Khali.
HHH - That’s what I thought he said. What’s your name? Bunyan?
Singh - RUNJIN!
HHH - Find a lamp and rub the side of it until he goes back inside, then cork it. You’re right, I’ve never been in the ring with Khali, but he’s never been in the ring with THE GAME. And normally, I’m one of those guys who formulates a plan and doesn’t tell anyone and then does it, but today, I’m gonna let you know what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna take those two wrinkled up Slim Jims he calls legs, I’m gonna break them, and then, I’m gonna beat him. And here’s the thing, Onion, there’s not a damn thing you or the Jolly Genie can do about it. You can tell Khali if he’s not down with that, I’ve got two words for him (crowd chants SUCK IT)
J.R. - Let’s take another look at the amazing story of R-Truth.
Kozlov - I am undefeated - I DEMAND BETTER COMPETITION!
J.R. - I want to thank all the fans in the WWE Universe, especially the males, because SmackDown was the most-watched show on all of network TV among males.
Tazz - I’ve got a huge male following, so if I stick around, that’ll only rise.
Tazz - I’m a huge fan of THE Brian Kendrick.
J.R. - And that’s coming from THE TAZZ!
Kendrick - If knowledge is power, then I’m the strongest man in WWE! And I have an advisor - Ezekiel Jackson!
J.R. - Nice dropkick from THE Brian Kendrick on THE chin of Crazy.
J.R. - Camel clutch from THE Brian Kendrick - where’s the Iron Sheik when you need him?
Tazz - Crazy’s like a bumble bee and Kendrick’s like a gnat. Buzz, buzz buzz!
J.R. - I like the sound effects.
(with Crazy in an ECW shirt)Tazz - I guess Crazy didn’t get the e-mal that he was traded from ECW to SmackDown.
J.R. - Maybe it was his only clean shirt.
Tazz - Boy, is this THE Brian Kendrick cocky or what?
J.R. - He’s a little Loose Cannon-ish.
Edge - COME ON UNDERTAKER, USE YOUR SUPERNATURAL POWERS! STRIKE ME WITH LIGHTNING, PLEASE! MAKE THE LIGHTS GO OUT, UNDERTAKER! COME ON, DEAD MAN! (after Edge conchairtos Chavo and tips over Vickie’s wheelchair) IS IT FINALLY DAWNING ON YOU!? THAT YOU SHOULDN’T FEAR THE UNDERTAKER, THAT YOU SHOULD FEAR ME! YOU WANT TO PUT ME IN A CELL LIKE IT’S SOME SORT OF PUNISHMENT!? MICK WAS RIGHT, THIS IS THE EDGE THAT NEEDS TO STEP INTO THE RING WITH THE UNDERTAKER. HE WANTS TO TAKE ME DOWN, WELL, I’M GONNA TAKE THE UNDERTAKER DOWN TO HELL WITH ME! I’M GONNA TAKE THE ENTIRE FAMILY WITH ME! AND VICKIE! MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE, I’M GONNA TAKE YOU DOWN TO HELL WITH ME!

Yeah, that's why Deuce is still around. He's Jimmy Snuka, Jr. Well, (insert Snuka's real name here) Junior. Adopted, as Jay said.

The guy KC James Curtis teamed with was Aaron "Idol" Stevens, former Heat jobber who worked somewhat of a program with raven, during which Raven brought back his finger breaking gimmick.

The one release that saddens me is Shannon Moore. I've been a fan of his since his 3 Count/"HB2K" days.

EDIT: Smackdown is pre-empted for a fucking Raiders game.

Pre-season no less. Thanks for reminding me to check, thank god the game is on a different network here.
 
[quote name='Halo05']They were all over Okinawa back in 03/04. Shipping would probably cost more than the games. That being said, they don't work on US SNES'.[/QUOTE]

Wrong. Got a US SNES? Want to play Japanese games? Snip out two plastic tabs in the cart port, and you've magically got a region-free SNES.
 
I'll make a guess and say Paul London will be on the chopping block next. Its not his fault for laughing at an exploding Vinnie Mac!

Glad Shannon Moore is released. He can go back to TNA where they were actually using him. Then WWE will hire him again just like last time. One day they need to make a North Carolina stable with all these guys, just once. I'll settle for a Survival Series match cause I'd imagine all those guys using crazy team moves.

[quote name='pitfallharry219']He should just pony up for a PS2. Fire Pro Returns is worth every penny of it.[/quote]


Best $5 I ever spent on a wrestling game. I just wish it wasn't so damned close to the GBA Fire Pros. I love FPW, hell FPW-A was my most played GBA game, but getting out of pins by high level A.I. opponents needs almost an ungodly amount of button taps in FPR. I still need to finish my roster too.....All this FPR talk is making me want to go play some FPR right now.

Also, I started doing something called "FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS" over on the CAG Blogs. The first one just went up and features Chris Jericho vs. Ultimo Dragon as well as Owen Hart vs. Jushin Lyger. There is also some Misawa action in there too, the match where he debuted the Tiger Driver '91 against Akira Taue. 5 Matches, all Japanese Wrestling. The Lyger/Owen match makes me sad to think about Owen being gone. Mindblowingly awesome ring-work.

Quiet, you two! Before TNA sees this, and thinks, "Man, that's brilliant!"

Oh god, too late! Every man for themselves!

Oh my god, Matt. That was Fantastic! :) I wonder if TNA will pick him up just to have him do a "Shoot" in the middle of the ring at the ppv? I know he didn't leave on good terms, but how bad are we talking?
 
Jeff Jarrett isn't a fan of Harris now because of how he left, so...he's fucked for a little while, and really, what's he gonna shoot on? I WAS ROBBED IN WWE! THEY GAVE ME... A BAD NAME! I COULDN'T BREAK THROUGH THE GLASS CEILING THERE! That image is glorious stuff though - it's already getting rave reviews on the DVDVR board, and I'm sure a "My Sacrifice" video is soon to follow.

I didn't create that image, by the way. I found it at The Smart Marks Forums, which is probably how it ended up on DVDVR since they share many users. But I literally laughed a lot at the Titantron video.

Yeah, but that's never stopped anyone before. :) And this is TNA we are talking about. I can See West screaming now about what a major signing this is. I don't expect it, but I can see it.
 
Things are looking bad for Killer Kowalski.

From Dave Meltzer:

Walter "Killer" Kowalski, 81, one of the great heels in wrestling history, suffered a massive heart attack today and is in grave condition.

And Kennedy is injured...again.

Hi everybody!
I just wanted to give you a little heads up...


As Dennis Spencer speculated, at our recent house show in Georgia, I did indeed dislocate my right shoulder after taking Shelton's finisher. I basically landed with my arm stretched across my body. My body weight, his body weight, and the force that he applied in delivering the maneuver caused my shoulder to pop right out of the socket. I'm going to tell you right now, it was honestly the most painful thing that I have ever endured in my life up to this point. (Aside from watching a Great Khali promo.) I was able to get some relief in the locker room after being held down by two people while a doctor pulled, twisted, and popped it back into place. The pain immediately went from a 10 to 1, and I was so relieved that I actually started laughing.

Over the course of the past few days I have had four different MRI's in four different places...absolutely AWESOME when you're extremely claustrophobic. Yesterday, I visited an orthopedic surgeon in GB who specializes in shoulder surgeries. He did a "Great Swami" routine on me by twisting and feeling around my shoulder, and then attempted to schedule a shoulder surgery that would keep me out of action for 6 months BEFORE even looking at the MRI. I was obviously a bit skeptical and decided to get a second opinion.

Today, I traveled to the Andrews Institute in Pensacola, Florida to see Dr. James Andrews - a renowned orthopedic surgeon. I spent the day undergoing different tests, including an MRI, range of motion, etc. Dr. Andrews offered me great advice and a different approach towards rehabilitation.

Here's the deal: I have a torn labrum, which basically is a muscle in the shoulder joint that holds everything in place. I also have some damage in the rotator cuff muscles, but it's from the accumulative effects of being in the ring for ten years. I'm going to spend the next two weeks in Pensacola doing two-a-day rehab sessions. I will also be working out the other parts of my body that aren't hurt by swimming, sprinting, cycling, leg training, and eating 6 nutritious high protein meals a day. After two weeks, Doc Andrews will assess my progress and determine if I have to have surgery or not. If not, I'll have an additional 2 to 4 weeks before I can return to the ring. If surgery is required, I'll be out for 4-6 months. Obviously, I'm hoping for the first option. Regardless of the severity of my injury, I will be working as hard as I can to return to the ring and continue to do what I love. I have the unbelievable support of my wonderful wife, family, extended family within the WWE, and my loyal fan base. I ask for your continued support! As this situation unravels I will keep you updated!

The trailer for The Real Angle leaked out

NWS due to language
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmKR9Lr5og8

Kurt talks about the internet video called "The Real Angle" and how it was not supposed to be released whatsoever. He was not happy with it's "leaking." He said that he was sorry that he got a bit graphic in calling out WWE people and he called someone in WWE to relay an apology to Vince McMahon.

Kurt talks about his Spike TV "reality show" called "Caught in the Action" and where it stands right now.
 
So very disappointed that Shannon Moore is released. I loved him in TNA and was so excited when he signed with WWE, but alas, my guess was right in that Vince scooped him up so he couldn't be used in TNA. 'Tis a shame, hopefully he heads back to TNA and gets back in the big picture.

Killer Kowalksi passed away today, after suffering a massive heart attack yesterday. Sad news, but at least his pain's over now. He lived a long life, and accomplished a great deal in wrestling. I hope WWE puts up a graphic and/or does a video package for him during this week's TV shows, as they have a history of not doing that for major-name deaths (like Lou Thesz, whose death was completely ignored on TV).

No, he hasn't.

Latest Meltzer update

Saturday night Kowalski update
Reports are that Killer Kowalski made a turn for the better today but remains in Intensive Care. He has shown a small improvement today and he has been responsive to guests who visited him tonight.

Doesn't look good though and it seems like it's only a matter of time.

Damned Wrestlezone - they posted that he'd died, and fortunately, it turned out that he hadn't.

Wrestlezone - http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=220338273
On August 8, 2008, wrestling journalist Georgiann Makropoulos reported that Walter "Killer" Kowalski had suffered a major heart attack and that doctors did not expect him to make it through the night. On August 9, 2008, wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer reported that he had been taken off life support and was unresponsive. Kowalski passed away earlier this evening.

Walter "Killer" Kowalski (1926 - 2008)

Wrestlezone would like to offer Kowalski's family and friends our most sincere condolences.

Brock's UFC right result -
He won via decision after three rounds, meaning he won't be cut after losing two fights as per the terms of UFC's contracts, and there's a better chance we'll get Mir-Lesnar II

Here's the Brock-Herring fight -
