Bought the Saturday Night's Main Event DVD earlier today. Great nostalgia. They should just re-air this stuff on Monday and Friday nights, rather than recycling feuds between guys like Cena, Edge, HHH, and Orton ad nauseum.

Looking at old wrestling stuff on youtube, and I found what has to be one of the great "shoot" interviews. It's just Mick Foley, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, and an interviewer eating and talking about how the business has changed. I totally recommend this to anybody who digs wrestling and has watched it evolve (or devolve IMO). Check it out:

Why is a WWE thread in the sports forum?
|
Because it's not just sports, it's sports ENTERTAINMENT.
Don't look at me, Vince said that. |
Anyone else notice that Andrew "Test" Martin went up to the wrestling ring in the sky?
|
Yeah, I didn't hear what happened though.
|
Shame. He was only 33. Sounds like a snappy newsflash for CNN.
Taking up professional wrestling will cut your lifespan down to roughly 40 years...unless you have no wrestling ability. |
I just watched one of my friends tag team with Superfly Snuka down in Clayton.
He's held up pretty good! Short match, but it was really fun! |
Jimmy Snuka is amazing.
Also, I've been reading The death of WCW, and finding some hilarious botcheries, like this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXkZCtZ-6IU I'm trying to find one from 1999 where a bunch of stage blood was supposed to drop on Kevin Nash but misses and hits the crowd. It cuts to vince russo looking shocked. Konnan and Juventud Gurrera are standing behind him in stitches. Oh, and Kevin Nash screwing up walking and tearing his quad literally on his returning day from an injury. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIa7KU4N5Eo |
WCW used to get on my nerves.
|
Not as good as when Booker T called Hulk Hogan a n*gger.

Raw is in Buffalo tonight, debating whether or not to go.

I've debated on going to Raw on the 15th until I seen Big Business will be there on the same night.

King Kong Bundy is supposed to be coming to NC sometime soon
:D |
Love me some King Kong Bundy. I can't get this picture to post but here is one of the two greatest Bundy's of all time:

Picture is brilliant.
I still caught RAW in Lousiville, thanks laregely to my friend being an idiot and getting the date wrong. I thought they still did the shows in advance (They do for WWE Superstars, which a rejects that aren't reject enough for ECW) ut RAW's live. Just goes to show you how long it's been since I seriously watched wrestling! Apparently, judging by Wikipedia and the confrontation Flair had with Randy orton on RAW, he's possibly un-retiring AGAIN. not as bad as Terry Funk, who had retired and un-retired so many times the experts and marks actually lost count. |
lol, me and my roommate were playing Resident Evil 5 and chainsaw guy popped out. He's like "Oh! Chainsaw Charlie is back out of retirement." So we
|
until Andre the Giant comes back, you can all go fu*k yourselves |
Jesse Ventura was great until he went ape shit and became one of those nutbag 'truthers'
|
I don't even know what is going on right now, but I got tickets to see The Great American Bash on the 28th. :(
|
It doesn't matter. I usually go to it when it comes because its an excuse to drink copious amounts of booze and yell at people.
Went to the great american bash a few years ago and met Benoit which was amazing(still have his autograph! :)) At the actual PPV they had a whole Benoit tribute to him and then he lost to Bradshaw for some reason. It was a terrible event though :( |
That sounds fuckin' ridiculous. And not in the good way where some wrestlers are all like "Well, the best matche sI ever had were the ones I LOST.
Anyways, 3-for-All is on tonight. Sounds predictable and absurd. Orton vs. Triple H vs. Cena vs. Big Show for the WWE title Jeff Hardy vs. Edge vs. CM Punk for the Heavyweight title and Tommy Dreamer (Who hasn't retired) vs. some schmuck for the ECW title. |
YOU MEAN SOME SCHMUCK WHO NEEDS TO RETIRE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO VS CHRISTIAN :rolleyes
|
And now it's the schmuck who needs to retire vs. the schmuck who's not as cool as edge vs. the fat schmuck who's been in WWE way too long vs. the irish schmuck vs. the schmuck that speaks with a lisp.
Anyways, Trump Raw was certainly one of the more entertaining RAWs I seen in a while. Me and a friend have been joking about Randy Orton's "UH KICKED HIM IN DUH SKULL!" speech a lot and now having heard it I can't stop laughing. I look forward to seeing Cena vs. Miz. |
