Wrestling Thread Jan/Feb | 2/29 RAW - The Undertaker Returns to Respond to The McMahons

When someone's doing a super kick type strike to the face is the one kicking slapping their chest to get that nice slap sound effect?

Usually they slap their thigh

And they slap because it's gives them more power behind their kicks.

Thanks I was trying to see where it was coming from but couldn't tell on the camera angles.

Good for you Torrie, you don't have to subject yourself to Sunny and Chyna levels of life.

What was bad about this match?

I stopped watching in 2002.

Triple H wasn't fully active in the match at all because of a groin injury he suffered prior to the event, yet triumphed over Goldberg with a sledgehammer strike.

He was moving like a slug that night

The Hitman has Prostate Cancer

It is with great remorse that I feel compelled to speak truthfully to my friends, family and my millions of fans around the world. In the past few years, I’ve spent more than enough time paying the price for all those years trying to be the best there ever was as a professional wrestler. I executed excellently and my proudest claim was that I never seriously hurt or injured another wrestler in my 23 year career. I’ve paid a price for all that “fake” wrestling. Aside from a devastating career-ending concussion and numerous surgeries when I was younger, in recent years I’ve had two knee replacements, two hernia operations, surgery on my right elbow, and, just a few months ago, I underwent a four-corner fusion of my right wrist that even now makes it most difficult to write or type.

Mark Helprin wrote: “We are all perfect clocks that Divinity has set to ticking when, even before birth, the heart explodes into a lifelong dance.” I’ve had a great lifelong dance and I’m a survivor of many hard battles. I now face my toughest battle. With hesitation and fear, I openly declare myself in my fight against prostate cancer. In the next few days, I will undergo surgery with the hope of defeating this nemesis once and for all.

My fans have always looked upon me as a hero and I’ve always done my best to live up to that in and out of the ring. I beat the odds when I suffered my stroke in 2002, but it is now yet again, that I draw upon the many adults and young children I’ve met throughout my life who courageously fought and usually lost in their battles against this deadly disease. One year ago, I watched a brave young man named Whesley fight brain cancer to the end. If I can find even an ounce of his courage to stand unafraid and face the tough road ahead of me, I will march toward this destiny with his spirit chanting in my ear.

I make a solemn vow to all of those that once believed in me, the dead and the living, that I will wage my fearsome fight against cancer with one shield and one sword carrying my determination and my fury for life, emboldened by all the love that’s kept me going this long already. Love is my weapon and I’ve got much of it around me all the time, for which I’m truly blessed and eternally grateful. My children, grandchildren, and my loving wife Steph have been and will constantly be at my side. I refuse to lose, I will never give in or give up, and I will win this battle or die trying.

Most important of all, I hope I can take the fight to prostate cancer. To be a leader in awareness and to set the example for men everywhere who find themselves in my very same shoes, that prostate cancer can be beaten.

That always sucks man.

I just read his post. Sad. But brave and encouraging.

 

[af1 1982]

Damn Bret

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Funny thing is the Young Bucks just found out last year (Talk and Shop Podcast) that folks slapped their legs to get the SuperKick sound. Wild to be in the business as long as them and not know that. But for some reason, yall think they should be World Champions in WWE.

Doesn't Prostate Cancer have an extremely high survival rate?

Was watching New Japan yesterday when The Bucks lost the belts to Roppongi Vice and man them dudes are nothing but spot monkey's. Never really seen any of there stuff until you marks got me interested in here but i'm not a fan of them.

99%

Remember, we're not counting men with prostate cancer who die of other causes: 99% of men with the most common types of prostate cancer overall will survive more than five years after diagnosis. For the more than 90% of men whose prostate cancer is localized to the prostate or just nearby, the prognosis is even better.

per WebMD. Still, it's sad to hear.

 

[D Fly]

Sad indeed.

damn **** cancer

 

[Case]

Sucks to hear about Hitman..Poor guy has had one terrible thing after another happen to him since Montreal..Brother died, career ending concussion, divorced 1 or 2 times, stroke, parents died, family feuding, and now prostate cancer..

 

[sortanew2retro]

Watching Summerslam 2000. Forgot all about the RTC, The Goodfather.

 

[robpzee612]

Damn hope Bret pulls through.

 

[datboi81]

Bret's definitely been through it. Crazy how a guy who took care of everyone he wrestled, is now suffering. Prayers to the Hitman.

Last thing we need is another one of our childhood heroes passing. I had this conversation with my wrestling guys this weekend that it's really sad when you look at most kids who's heroes are all alive, but most of ours are 6ft under.
