"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson Wrestling Thread

hahahahahaha i love how triple H quickly put his hands behind his head....

...and of course how there just happened to be a camera man in front of that window....
 
0 wrestlers.

Several sports-entertainers, though.

The end went laughably corny to overlong to cool for a half second to corny again.

Between this week and last week's Raw, as well as last week's Impact, I'm kind of tired about how poorly they portray police officers acting in the line of duty/procedurally. There are so many flagrant inconsistencies in the way police would actually respond to a domestic incident like this one that were overlooked here. They seemed to know who to arrest and subdue, and they did it with complete apathy and no concern with handling the situation at all.

It was crap. But, to WWE's credit, unlike TNA, their fake police officers don't dress up like paintballers.
 
[quote name='Iron Clad Burrito']Why do they continually call it the 25th anniversary of wrestlemania, when the first one was March 1985 (24 years ago)? It's the 25th wrestlemania, but only the 24th anniversary....[/QUOTE]

For the same reasons they called 2000 the new millenium when it really didn't start until 2001

Retardation it is, then.

Sounds like this show is a solid "skip." I saw the opening Taker/HBK, the JBL/Punk match, then read this thread... off to play games now.
 
I really can't wait for Joe Hennig to make it to the Big leagues. That's why I love FCW. It's all WWE Developmental.

When I went to the last FCW event, Peter Gruner and Tom Prichard said I could have some good potential in the business.

I get evaulated May 2nd. :D
 
So I get done watching Heroes, and I change it to Raw, only to see the Edge/Cena/Big Show contract signing. Am I missing anything else by choosing to skip the 2nd half of Raw?

Because logic and facts can be overwhelming?

I said the same thing a few weeks ago.
 
the hhh and orton thing was very lame.. two of their biggest names not even at the arena sucks for those who paid to see them...

the skit at ortons house was almost as bad as the pillman/austin house/gun angle
 
[quote name='mykevermin']That's 7, though, right? Is there one for this week's SD I missed in the spoilers I didn't read?

Also, Koko really does a disservice to the Hall of Fame. He was a helluva wrestler, and his match w/ Martel is one of my forgotten Wrestlemania favorites. But the fact is that he's not really well remembered as a "Hall of Fame" kinda guy. It'd be like inducting "Power and Glory" into the hall.[/QUOTE]

LoL,how can you say a actually wrestler does a disservice for a wrestling hall of fame when you have clowns like pete rose and the fridge in there."But the fact is" no that isn't a fact it's your opinion and your entitled to it,some people might have very well remember him as a hall of fame type of guy.
 
[quote name='Purple Flames']Orton's wife looks like a Barbie doll.

She's a Stepford Smiler in every sense of the word.[/QUOTE]

I know a ton of people who have run across Orton and his old lady and everyone says shes pretty much a bitch. Orton was at my cousin's wife place of employment and there were a few kids there who wanted autographs. Orton asked her to run out to his hummer and get some pictures and she made a huge ordeal about it. Then when Orton was signing the promo pictures for the kids she was annoyed and kept saying that it was enough.

I've met Orton around town a few times and hes always been very cool.

You gotta fill me in on this. Is there some fee for a tryout? After I graduate from college I'm gonna have to move to Florida.
and good luck btw.
 
I could swear it was something like 800-1000 for the tryout, but that may have been the one for people with "no wrestling experience" where the only guy they actually liked lied and actually had some wrestling experience.
 
[quote name='ZForce']For the same reasons they called 2000 the new millenium when it really didn't start until 2001[/QUOTE]Also it would just be confusing from a marketing standpoint to hype up Wrestlemania 26 as the 25th Anniversary.

What bugs me is how they aren't even saying "Wrestlemania 25" anymore... now it's "the 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania" every time.

Ugh, don't say that. I could see them inducting Hercules if they ever need a token dead guy some year.

Koko did some pretty fun stuff prior to his WWF gig, but...yeah. Only positive(?) thing I can say about Senor Birdman is he is often the vague nostalgic punchline to the references some non-fan friends make. "Hey man, whatev'r happened to Koko B Ware and George The Animal?" ::mockingly flaps arms::

Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Ricky Steamboat.
Terry & Dory Funk.
Bill Watts.
Koko B Ware?

If Tony Atlas can get in, I don't see why everybody is bitching about Koko going in.

At least Koko is a great guy and was a damn good wrestler.
 
That skit was over produced. I liked the Austin/Pillman one better.
 
Speaking of that skit, I loved the random people hiding in Orton's house, popping up screaming in the kitchen and laundry room.

Made me want to play Lethal Enforcers.

Even funnier is that Striker and Grisham just made video game references just now making fun of DJ Gabriel saying he had on his Tetris shorts.

I don't agree with the past precedent dictating what is acceptable now. Just because Nikolai Volkoff and Johnny Rodz and William Perry are in doesn't mean the bar has to be lowered forever.

Feh, screw it. I guess there is no point in taking a hall of fame for a fake sport too seriously.

This is where it becomes less about how good of an athlete they were, and more to a "how big of a contribution to further the industry" they were.
 
Enjoyable Raw show - I dug Flair's appearance, Big Show's silly faces, Kofi getting another OMG BIG WIN! that will no doubt mean nothing as per usual, and the hilarious home break-in, although it lacked HHHomer going HHEEERE'S JOHNNY! Orton going through glass only to be well enough to run within a matter of seconds amused me.

The whole thing was hilarious - the toss itself reminded me of Jazz being thrown out of the Banks' house on Fresh Prince, and Hunter's slow walking once again came off as him being too slow to move any faster as opposed to him being determined to find his foe. Orton's delayed reaction to his "wife" being an utter dipshit by answering the door when a hammer-wielding maniac is on the loose was awesome, too.

I wasn't expecting to see Koko go into the Hall of Fame, and while he's certainly the weakest entry yet this year by a wide margin, I don't mind him being in. He was a hell of a worker in Memphis, was a perfectly fine undercard act in the rock 'n wrestling era, and worked really well with Owen in High Energy. Hopefully his induction leads to Santino singing Piledriver at 'Mania, then getting beaten down by the inductees, and being called a sissy by Bill Watts.

I apologize for that because this was actually the first time in years that I watched ECW and I typed the first thing that I thought was how to spell his name. I will have to take time more often to watch it.
 
Matt Stryker doesn't wrestle anymore, and if he does, it's in hillbilly gyms in Cincinnati for peanuts. Who cares if you steal the name of a nobody?
 
[quote name='neocisco']I'd wrestle for honey-roasted cashews. Them boys is tasty.[/QUOTE]

Would you go thru an quad stack of tables covered in barbed wire and... set on fire? With thumb tacks, nails, and broken glass surrounding the area of said tables?

.... for honey-roasted cashews?
 
Botchamania 70 goes back to its roots of, you know, showing botches (and is awesome as a result):

What's the deal with Tenay always trying to act like such a badass? Does he do that on purpose or something?
 
Well, Looks like I'm gonna start wrestling for Pro Wrestling eKlipse, FCW dicked me over SO much and alotof the guys were so rude with some of the questions I had. So pist off but I'll get over it. I'm just glad to be wrestling honestly. Even if FCW is all WWE I'm glad to be in at least a Indy Wrestling Fed. Really don't know what to say lol.
 
Matt Hardy just alluded to burning Jeff Hardy's house down, and killing his dog.

#-o

Maybe I misinterpreted it, but... yeah.
 
Tangent: NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!" Podcast had John Cena on as a guest this week. He talked a bit about the business and his rise, had a bit of self-deprecating humor about his movies, and revealed that he doesn't know jack shit about figure skating.

http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=35&prgDate=03-07-2009&view=storyview

Also: Someone didn't do their research, Cena was billed as (and didn't deny being) the "Longest reigning champion in WWE history." Someone forgot Backlund and Sammartino, among others. Unless someone's actively divorcing WWE from WWF.
