[freakydestroyer]

She doesn't even look intimidating anymore, that was her whole gimmick.

 

[grizzly hebert]

Wrestling in Lane Bryant club collection...

Smh

 

[DCAllAfrican]

The Top Ten Moves of Amazing Kong

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 

[Peep Game]

That next Total Divas episode will be lulz

And these random cameos are killing me. Fandango, then Sandow, and now Roman Reigns, with only feigning interest in Jojo and Eva Marie

 

[3dgarfly23]

match was pretty eek

 

[DCAllAfrican]

^ I will watch your post when I get a chance. My favorite Benoit/Guerrero matches:

WCW Nitro - Chris Benoit vs Eddie Guerrero (12-23-96):

New Japan 1996 (don't feel like looking up full date)
Part 1:
Part 2:
Part 3:

 

[jdcurt2]

I don't think I've watched a Benoit match since the triple murder.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I don't think I've watched a Benoit match since the ALLEGED triple murder.

*Fixed
Oh wow..........never saw this

 

[DCAllAfrican]

And while on the subject of Benoit: Chris Benoit Murder Conspiracy Theories with Geraldo on O'Reilly Factor -

 

[Case]

*Fixed
Oh wow..........never saw this

AA is the MOST under rated promo man I've ever seen..Him, and Jake Roberts, always gave you those serious, articulate, and deep promos..

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

*Waits for 4w to come in and say that nobody who wrestled for WCW was any good at anything

 

[Mcflyy]

Since Benoit seems to be the topic, who would you guys cast as Benoit in the upcoming movie about him?

Bret: (Talking about CM Punk and Daniel Bryan)"You can tell that they weren't watching Hulk Hogan. They were watching Bret Hart and SHawn Michaels"

 

[johnnyredstorm]

No one. That movie shouldn't ever be made. I can't see Hollywood doing it the right way. Who knows how things really went down and why.

If I have time, I might watch the match he won the title in.

I agree..But yet I'm surprised that Lifetime didn't make a movie out the subject..Just seems like the type of sleezy thing they'd do..

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Bret: (Talking about CM Punk and Daniel Bryan)"You can tell that they weren't watching Hulk Hogan. They were watching Bret Hart and SHawn Michaels"

I've never seen the allure of Hogan—maybe because I was born in 89. NWO is cool, though.

Speaking of Devitt, DVDVR dudes said this

Hasn't it been reported that while the WWE is interested, Devitt isn't? Like he likes living in his villa being a relative unknown, flying to japan doing shows and then going home and being just a dude?

And drinking tea.



More or less nailed it. Best work/life/pay ratio in Wrestling outside of a high end WWE legend to my mind.



Colt Cabana makes good money outside of WWE but he has to hustle dealing with promoters and hawk merch. Devitt works out of one centralised booking office so to speak, a guaranteed work schedule with plenty of time off. He is also like a son to the promotion and likely factored in with New Japan post his in ring career.



Getting older or Luther Ward or Becky Lynch being successful might possibly change things though but as it stands and stood last year I don't see him going to WWE.

 

[grizzly hebert]

Since Benoit seems to be the topic, who would you guys cast as Benoit in the upcoming movie about him?

Even though it was confirmed false...

I say Liev Schreiber would have been perfect despite his height.

If not him, then I say Scott Caan. Tom Hardy would work too.

 

[sickickz23]

Never knew that they were conspiracies about the Benoit tragedy....watching it on youtube now...

 

[in the line for viis]

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

How can Kaval wrestle in a suit though?

 

[88th]

How can Kaval wrestle in a suit though?

His gimmick is based on the Hitman video game?

 

[Good Ol J.R]

His gimmick is based on the Hitman video game?

He's Low-Ki, that's why.

And yes.

Bret: (Talking about CM Punk and Daniel Bryan)"You can tell that they weren't watching Hulk Hogan. They were watching Bret Hart and SHawn Michaels"

I've never seen the allure of Hogan—maybe because I was born in 89. NWO is cool, though.

Hogan never appealed to me either and I was born in '83

Never was a Hulkamaniac. Found his "say your prayers, eat your vitamins" shtick to be extremely corny.

Dug his Hollywood Hogan persona and his NWO run though. Still remember how

I was when he was revealed as the third member It really shook up the wrestling world at the time.

I appreciate what he's done for wrestling, but I can't say that I was ever a Hogan fan.
