The General Wrestling Thread

[Warner2BruceTD]

Global Wrestling marathon on ESPN classic starts in a half hour and runs till 8 eastern. Then again on Wednesday.

Global ran every afternoon on ESPN in the early 90's, and was the first national TV exposure for Booker T, Stevie Ray, Sean Waltman, Jerry Lynn, & Marcus Bagwell, plus had stars of the time like a pre Raven Scott Levy, The Patriot who came in after AWA folded, Doug Gilbert aka Dark Patriot, Eddie Gilbert, Cactus Jack, Rip Rogers, etc. Also local Texas guys like Tugboat Taylor, Chaz Taylor, and a bunch of others.

If they show the early stuff before it went to shit, it's really good and pretty historical in a lot of ways. I used to run home from school to watch every day.

I think biss should book RAW Superstar Ricky Starks vs ESPN Classic Superstar Chaz Taylor. SUPER NO VACANCY, buddy.

Mad Dog Billy vs The Crusher was probably not the best way to start this off. Brutal.

A very very young & fresh faced JBL (John Hawk!) on commentary.

This is fucking amazing. I'm blowing off work today.

What Vince is doing to Danielson

[JayDizzle]

"The Beard is Here."

Somehow that shirt's gonna be bought and used in a completely other connotation than what Vince and Danielson want it to mean.

Good to see Ricardo back from his PED suspension.

Still a little puffy but dem pipes he's got to announce are just as good as when he left.

Are we set to a a feud between Del Rio and EL LOCAL?!

[JayDizzle]

Small thought (while during a decent RVD/Del Rio rematch with a SHITTY FUCKING ENDING):

Miz and Alex Reilly used to team, then fought.

Now both announce or at least do something that effect nowadays.

Why not have one work on RAW and one work SmackDown with the rivalry continuing that way?

I think Ricardo might be out for a while...

Only Dreamer, DDP and Foley could take the beating the Artist Known as El Local and walk away.

It's not WWE even......crowds have been dead everywhere since everyone has a smart phone and would rather be distracted by Facebook, Twitter and Instagram than watch the event they paid for. In rare cases is this not the case.

lol no, this is what happens when a good portion of the adults who are at WWE shows aren't even fans of the product.

Eva Maria (Marie? I don't care.)... I'm a fan as far as looks go.

On another note, Cena's neon yellow shirt would make him a great Paintball target.

Don't why I'm thinking that but if he went down, Platoon-style, in a hail of paint... I'd be happy.
