Wrestling Thread 10/21-11/3 | Oct 28 RAW - Orton & Cena Are Champs | NTWT Secret Santa Q Due Tonight

[Case]

WCW was foul for that. That pseudo-JR character brought nothing to the program and only aided in their demise.

Dr. Death was just as foul for being right there along with him..

Vampiro was trash. Sting messing up for putting that fool over.

I don't put that on Sting..I'm sure that was Vince Russo's idea..

Why do y'all hate Vampiro so much?

I remember I was heartbroken when he lit sting on fire in the inferno match

Vampiro just seemed boring to me..I'm sure he could wrestle, but I don't remember anything he did in WCW..And I always thought of him as WCW's Gangrel..

Didn't Jericho bury vampiro in one of his books?

Yes.

Supposedly Vampiro told promoters on 2 different occasions that Jericho didn't like working for the promotions and hated the country he was in. I think it was in Mexico and Japan.

Completely forgot about Oklahoma lol

[Peep Game]

Not sure how Vampiro was before WCW, but in WCW I remember him being a cool look/character and nothing else. He wasn't much in the ring outside of his finisher. He was basically Curtis Axel with face paint.

AJ making Brie tapout clean....Brie's winning at HIAC :x

Wouldn't mind seeing Bryan and his wife walk out with both belts. AJ will play the pissed of heel pretty well and Bryan just deserves something good.
Will they start referring to him as a three time wwe champ if he wins? His 5 minute reign at SS and his one day reign both count right?

Cool young fella Santino Marella

On a side note I can't be the only one loving the KRS one track in the nba2k commercials.

I've been thinking about this for a while and wanted NTWT's thoughts..

If someone was to ask you what 5 matches you thought represented what wrestling was all about, which 5 matches you picking?..Royal Rumble can't count since it's pretty much half a ppv by itself..Tag matches and non-WWE/F & non-WCW matches are fine too..So Japan, Mexico, ECW are all fair play..

Matches don't have to be considered the greatest or even your favorite..Just what you think is a great representation of pro wrestling..

-Flair vs Steamboat..Chi-Town Rumble for the NWA WHC..

-Undertaker vs HBK..Wrestlemania 25..

-Austin vs Hart..Wrestlemania 13..

-Rock vs Hogan..Wrestlemania 18..

-Sting vs Flair..Great American Bash '90..

[naija nitemare]

HBK/Taker HIAC - Big guys can move too

Ric Flair/HBK WM 24 - Storytelling & grandeur

Bret Hart/HBK WM 12 - Epic technical wrestling

Edge/Mick Foley WM 22 - Shock and awe plus athleticism from Edge plus a sexy broad

King Kong Bundy/Hogan WM 2 - Graceful, elegant, athletic, exciting are the words that come to mind




jk about that last one

TLC 2 WM 17

- Many of the more experienced talents in WWE developmental are unhappy with some feeling they aren’t learning anything and are just doing the same drills day after day, week after week.


The complaints have gotten loud enough that Triple H has decided to pay a little more attention to what’s going on.


A lot of the complaints reportedly deal directly with NXT head trainer Bill DeMott but complaints against him are said to be fairly common. A source adds that no talent really wants to step up and complain directly to Triple H but he heard through the grapevine that morale was low enough that he needed to see what was going on.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Samoa Joe vs. Kenta Kobashi

Rock Vs Stone Cold Steve Austin (WM 17)

El Hijo Del Santo & Octagón VS. Eddie Guerrero & Love Machine

Kurt Angle vs HBK (WM 21)

The Rock vs Hollywood Hulk Hogan (wm 1

THIS!

You have 2 of my most favorite matches.

- Samoa Joe vs. Kenta Kobash

- El Hijo Del Santo & Octagón VS. Eddie Guerrero & Love Machine

- Eddie Guerrero VS Rey Mysterio Jr (Halloween Havoc)

- John Cena VS CM Punk (MITB) (yes, unfortunately Cena has to be in this list )

- HBK VS Taker (WM 25)


List is purely mid 90's - present. I know there's a lot more (the 80's had a whole lot of great matches), but these are the 5 that came right off the top of my head.

Looking at it, I should've at least had 1 Y2J match

 

[donmega]

Dixie mimicking Dana too?

Hate that @TitoOrtiz is injured & can't fight at the PPV vs @Rampage4Real. Bad week for him and @RealBully5150. Karma much?

— Dixie Carter (@TNADixie) October 25, 2013

Dana's tweet that came some time before Dixie posted hers

Oh boy KARMA is a *****

— Dana White (@danawhite) October 25, 2013

 

[celticspride34]

Representation of pro wrestling?... that's a hard one man... here's my best guess list....

Y2J vs Shane Douglas vs 2 Cold Scorpio vs Pitbull #2
Taker vs HBK Retirement match
Bryan Danielson vs Nigel McGuinness GBH 8
Bret Hart vs SCSA WM13
TLC WM2000

 

[owensstr8clownin]

I actually enjoyed Vampiro in WCW. I thought his angle with Sting was pretty good from start to end

 

[robpzee612]

This gets me everytime.
