[quote name='guyver2077']holy shit... i had no idea big poppa pump was back! hell fuck yes[/QUOTE]

It's just too bad he's a babyface this time. Dude tends to cut the best promos as a heel.
 
Booker's first week as a regular commentator was a big letdown - he seemed sedated out there, and added little to the show. I'm looking forward to seeing him as a coach on TE though - more excited than having Austin as the host, actually. Loved Alberto beating up Hornswoggle, and Drew-Kofi was fine. Loved Barrett being Show so quickly, and they built up Zeke-Show nicely as well. I expect Dolph-Edge next week to further make Dolph look like a fool, although they could surprise me. Their booking of Kelly tonight was really good, minus the shoehorned angle of Vickie going through her things that WAS NEVER BROUGHT UP BEFORE despite apparently happening for a while.

[quote name='mykevermin']well, let's be fair - Anderson is supposed to be the 'asshole,' but it doesn't feel conveyed in the booking of how he became champ.[/QUOTE]

Fair enough, I don't watch TNA so IDK what his character's supposed to be. Is he still playing face, or was this a heel/heel match, or what?
 
[quote name='neocisco']He didn't say that, didn't even come close.[/QUOTE]

Well apparently it was edited out of every broadcast except the Australian one so I guess for some people it did sound too much like that.
 
Yea, I don't really hear it either myself. I just found it funny that such a big deal is being made about it to the point that they muted it from the broadcasts.
 
You can just burly here him say it becomes he says it softly.. He says come on then the word then he covers it up by stuttering tha-that a lot louder. You have to listen closely during the come on part.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']No, he stutters and says nuh-nuh.

Quit trying so hard.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. Mountains outta molehills people.
 
Whoever ordered the Nexus 'broken N' shirt off of WWEshop.com .. have you gotten them yet? If not, any word on when? I notice they have been on backorder for awhile. I'm tempted to pull the trigger, but I'm not sure.

When did you order? I ordered it in December when they were doing that buy one get one free as a gift deal with them. It took about 3 weeks to finally ship.

Mine arrived about a month after I ordered it.
 
[quote name='cdubb1605']IF it were true, something wouldve leaked earlier this week about them having to edit audio.[/QUOTE]

Smackdown pretty much has audio edited/remixed/added to the show in post production every week. Which is why the show sounds so freakin sterile and the crowd is either pipped in cheer/boos or simply dead.... why the WWE feels they need to do that I have absolutely no idea.
 
[quote name='crr_1119']When did you order? I ordered it in December when they were doing that buy one get one free as a gift deal with them. It took about 3 weeks to finally ship.[/QUOTE]

Same here. Took longer than normal, but I think that was also because it was around New Year's, when they weren't shipping stuff out until the 7th.

If you haven't ordered them yet... I dunno. I figure they're being clearanced, so it's possible they may never be back in stock unless there's a firm date listed on the page.

This post should be taken quite seriously.
 
[quote name='Demolition Man']the crowd is either pipped in cheer/boos or simply dead[/quote]

I love when you hear the crowd pop massively and you see a bunch of people sitting on their asses, not doing anything at all.

Which is only worse than when WWE pans to a crowd shot that clearly wasn't there at the event. I swear one of my WWE dvds has a match from the late 1980's/early 1990's where they pan to a crowd shot featuring a number of people wearing D-Generation X t-shirts. :lol:

.... why the WWE feels they need to do that I have absolutely no idea.
Click to expand...

So they can tell you who they want you to like and hate. What? You didn't think they actually let the genuine crowd reaction change anything, did you?

Spitting image of Matt Pinfield.
 
Matt Hardy is the Doug Gilbert of this decade.

Watched the 1997 Royal Rumble today. Decent match, really reinforced that Vince McMahon has *no clue* what goes on in the world outside of his own wrestling company. They were in Texas, and playing to the Hispanic crowds there, at least 4 of the 30 were AAA wrestlers: Cibernetico, Pierroth, Latin Lover and Mil Mascaras. McMahon had no clue who any of them were. Not even Mil fucking Mascaras! Jerry Lawler also mocked Jim Ross' encyclopedic knowledge of those 4 in much the same way he guffawed Matt Striker calling a Michinoku Driver last week.

There's a running theme of 'herp derp'ing anything that isn't WWF in origin that remains to today.

Ross' commentary on this match is the 2nd best commentary of any Royal Rumble match - the first being Bobby Heenan in 1992 ("BE FAIR TO FLAIR!!!").

The match featured much more star talent than 1996 - Austin, Buldldog, Undertaker, Bret Hart, Rocky Maivia, etc. Also Kane got about 20 minutes of match time in, except he was Fake Diesel in 1997. Thing is, in retrospect, he looks like Kane. The face is unmistakable - but more than that, he *walks* in the ring like Kane does. If you've ever noticed how Kane walks, his shoulders dip in a very unique way. Not that I expect him to be the spitting image of Kevin Nash, but pro wrestlers learn that different gimmicks mean different movesets and behaviors. Contrast Fake Diesel, which is exactly the same as Kane save for the outfit and finishing maneuver, with Mick Foley - Mankind, Dude Love, and Cactus Jack all had pretty big variation in their movesets and transitions.

Speaking of which, we'd probably groan about it being shitty booking if it happened today, but I *loved* Cactus Jack, Mankind and Dude Love all being in the 1998 Royal Rumble. I can't wait to watch it later this week.

I think it worked because it was Mick doing the gimmick. Since Mick works so hard to put his gimmicks/characters over there was no phoning it in. Foley took pride in his craft like so few ever have (or do).

[quote name='davo1224']Joey Styles: It's a shame he didn't succeed in taking his own life.

Classy Joey.[/QUOTE]

Care to provide some actual context?

Care to provide some actual context?[/QUOTE]
ONS '05 or '06, Joey was ripping on Mike Awesome for taking the money to join WCW.

I don't see the problem since Styles was just performing; it's not like he could look into the future and see that Awesome was going to kill himself.
 
It wasn't classy at the time haha. Nevermind looking back on it. Remember when Stephanie McMahon wished death on Freddie Blassie on RAW and he croaked later that year?

I still wonder sometimes if that Styles commentary was a work. Atleast I hope it was.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']Matt Hardy is the Doug Gilbert of this decade.[/QUOTE]

...I don't see the connection. Care to elaborate? Did he shoot his mouth off about Dixie/Jarrett or something?
 
[quote name='neocisco']So I'm assuming that clip is in there? Alrighty then.[/QUOTE]

Please don't make this more awkward than it has to be :lol:
 
[quote name='davo1224']It wasn't classy at the time haha. Nevermind looking back on it. Remember when Stephanie McMahon wished death on Freddie Blassie on RAW and he croaked later that year?[/QUOTE]

Knowing Blassie's history he probably came up with that line himself. I didn't think anything of it other than it was a strong closing line delivered by a poor actress.

So I was looking for some graphic of a guy slamming his head into a desk. I typed "slam head against desk" in Google, and the first result was some guy's Facebook post about TNA. :rofl:

More bloated whale or a half-talent southern mouthbreathing hee-haw who is only in the business because their brother did all the goddamned work.

Dude, WWF loves to *BURY* talent that isn't theirs, but the one time that had me falling out of my seat in laughter was when Doug Gilbert came out for the WWF 1996 Royal Rumble. They gave him the worst, most generic, "this dude is a fucking joke and we're letting you in on it" theme music in the history of pro wrestling.

Lemme see if I can find it on YT.

I honestly think Foley is the king of gimmicks. Others change and it often doesn't work, but dude can make anything work and make it belivable that it's not just the same dude in three costumes.
 
Yeah he differentiated the characters. At the very least, Mick Foley three times was a lot better than any other two available people.

Does anyone remember Los Boricuas constantly getting turned on by DX but still helping them every week?

Besides the music, it contained my favorite Hennig moment on commentary:

(awkward pause when Gilbert appears on screen)

Hennig: ...who's that?


It really did look like some random schlub from the crowd in a 'rasslin outfit, so that comment was (ahem) perfect.
