The General Wrestling Thread

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

From Meltzer, NBC has greenlit this idea:



Hopefully it won't be shitty when they actually get to work on it. Always felt a fictionalized show based around pro wrestling could be a goldmine.

Redundant much?

[BigBiss]

why do we not have a Matt Hardy Death pool going yet?

The National Geographic Channel's documentary on indie wrestling airs tonight at 10 p.m. It's about ROH and NWS.

[Warner2BruceTD]

I think NWS is the New Jersey indy that uses former WWE guys like Beefcake and Jimmy Snuka. They have some of the most awesomely bad promo posters ever. I remember being in a pizza joint, and they had a poster up for LIVE LUCHA LIBRE featuring a main event of BALLS MAHONEY vs. SNITSKY.

- Adult film company Third Degree Films is releasing a parody based on the Hogan family titled "Official Hogan Knows Best Porn Parody." Below is the description and cover photo:

"In this pants-wettingly funny parody, Hulk Hogan has a lot more on his hands than just his wife and kids! Follow the nation’s favorite wrestling hero and his super-tanned reality TV family as they heat up their Florida mansion with moves you won’t see in the ring! After downing a bucket of steroids and Viagra, the Hulkster calls a hooker to calm him down, giving new meaning to the ‘choke hold’ and ‘piledriver!’ Meanwhile Brooke catches hell for wearing a slutty shirt, which doesn’t seem to bother her boyfriend Bill, and Nick entertains Brooke’s horny friend Lexi, leaving his nerdy pal Linc to get it on with Linda! With this sex-crazed family all living under one roof, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got a ring-side seat!"

LULZ

I caught the NGC documentary. Pretty good stuff.

Hearing Delirious talk normally and seeing Truth Martini without his glasses was pretty jarring.

[EmpireWF]

Yeah, it was a good doc. Delirious speaking clearly was a WOAH moment.

Funny how the Briscoes talked for maybe 15-20 seconds in the whole thing and they show more charisma than most anybody in either WWE or TNA these days. Those guys should be making tons of money.

Dave Lagana even had a few moments on camera for the promos segment.

Would never know Shima Xion was just some dude from West Virginia.

Mistico a.k.a. Sin Cara #1 returned to action this week using the Sin Cara gimmick at the Tacoma Washington house show. From what I understand, he is back full time in the role including Smackdown tonight. Hunico, a.k.a. Sin Cara #2 is going to be sent back to FCW however he impressed WWE higher ups and is expected to be called to the main roster sooner rather than later.

- His return isn't being smiled upon by the locker room. Minor spoiler alert but he wrestles Heath Slater on tonight's show. When it was taped, the match was filled with so many blown spots that they had to RE-DO the match later in the show from the beginning. So in essence, they wrestled twice at the tapings.

There are 2 sides to every story but so far I have only heard one. Judging by the side I have heard, WWE has A LOT of explaining to do. Harry "DH" Smith is one of the nicest individuals in all of wrestling. He is hardworking and friendly to everyone. That is why it is mind boggling that he went out of his way to lend WWE several important pieces of Hart Family memorabilia to WWE so they can display during Wrestlemania weekend at Axxess. These items including his father's (The British Bulldog) wrestling gear, Owen Hart's Blue Blazer mask, the Blue Blazer singlet, and some personal photos of the Harts and a few other items. WWE released Smith but have not only NOT returned the items but have failed to return his calls requesting their return. This is some BS if true.

Watching "The Rise And Fall Of WCW" last night made me dis-like Kevin Nash being back even more.

[BazookaJoe5]

I haven't seen the movie version of the Rise and Fall of WCW but the book about the same subject, The Death of WCW, is a must read. As far as wrestling related books go, it's the best I've read. I found it more interesting than both of Jericho's books and Bret's book, which are amazing reads as well.

I like Kevin Nash the performer we see on TV, liked his in ring ability years ago and still like his mic work, but yes, he is a douchebag backstage.

No one has made more money with less talent, for that i have a strange respect for him
