The General Wrestling Thread

Is there a more useless, tired, played out, boring, redundant, waste of fucking air time in the entire wrestling world than Kane? Seriously, does anyone say to themselves "wow, Kane is wretling? I gotta see that!"?

He's the fucking worst. Instant channel changer/dvr fast forward.

So I take it that he's not making your top 100?

Since Uncle Vince effectively murdered the "Survivor Series" namebrand, we're getting a taste of the old school team format this upcoming Summerslam...

The Nexus is finally going to face up to a numbers game of their own as Cena's finally got a team of dudes to fight by his side.

Not Yoshi Tatsu or Golddust...

No, Cena's assembled a team of rivals so great, it might be worth it to at least illegally pirate the PPV.

Cena's tagging up with:

 

R-Truth (Wassup?)

The Great Khali (holy shit that dude's HUGE)

Edge (Cena had to kill this guy in a TLC match in Canada just to get his belt back)

Chris Jericho (The 1st Undisputed Champion. He beat Austin and Rock in the same night to do it... Cena is a pussy compared to Jericho)

John Morrison (The Monday Night Delight, former ECW Champion and formerly one-half of the Greatest Tag Team of the 21st Century)

Bret Hart ('nuff said)

Kane was awesome until he just got boring about a year after he took off the mask.

From the time he debuted in 98 through 2000 and maybe even 2001, he was great. Big dude who could work well enough as the Undertaker-esque monster and had the cool masks.

Random Mascarita Sagrada gif.

That little fucker invented moves. Alot of guys do that "around the world" headscissors now, but he was the first guy i saw do it.

I've never been to a wrestling meet & greet before. I'm wondering what the standard procedure is. Do you have to buy something just to talk to the wrestlers or what?

Apparently Ric Flair is also going to be at the Meet and Greet at Collinsville and I really want to see him.

 

[FedEx227]

Don't get too excited. it's basically hand Ric Flair something to sign, he smiles, you ask like 2-3 questions take a picture and your out.

I talked to Jim Cornette for like a minute during a recent meet and greet.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I've never been to one either, but I've seen the ones they do at ROH shows. Generally, if its a big star, the line is outrageous and you should at least have something to be signed or be prepaired to buy a 8X10. The indy guys will usually hold a brief convo with fans or pose for a picture and shake you hand. It all depends on the talent. I would suspect Flair would require some type of purchase, and I doubt you'll get any sort of substantial conversation out of him.

I've seen Nigel McGuinness and Bryan Danielson spend a lot of time with people. At the Edison shows, the only bathroom is in the front lobby, so its not uncommon to have Necro Butcher in front of you on line, and Austin Aries taking a leak in the urinal next to you. Not the best time to mark out.

One minute with Jim Cornette is like a sick tease.

You should have invited him on your show, he might have agreed.

 

[FedEx227]

I know... It was awful. I'd talk to Cornette for days if I could.

After my minute, he had a 5 minute conversation about D'Lo Brown with one of my friends.

Flair doesn't require you to really buy anything but you need a ticket to get into the line and you have to have something to sign as well. You'll get a pic out of it and a sign but you won't be able to say anything more than "Big fan, Ric!"

It's a shame the man's over 50 and does yoga for a living now.

You never hit up bars after ECW shows?

I was underage and my brother took me there when all of the guys would go out drinking.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Nah, I don't drink, I would go straight home. Never even thought to do that.

 

[Bigpapa42]

I went to the fan fest before the ROH show on WM in Houston two years ago. While I was there, it was Jimmy Hart and the Nasty Boys, Diamond Dallas Page, Samoa Joe, and Christie Hemme. Booker T wandered through and apparently Mick Foley and Sting were both their just a few hours before. I think you had a buy a $20 ticket to get into the autograph line, then pay another $20 to get something signed by any of them. It was supposedly like $100 or $150 to even get to see Foley and Sting. I was only interested in Joe and he let me jump the long ass line to get him to sign an ROH DVD. Only got to talk to him for a moment, but it was cool. Found out I'm thicker through the shoulders and chest than he is...

I was 15-16, I didn't drink either, but my brother has his friends did...there was a good number of them that went out together after the shows. It was pretty cool as a kid.

Anyone going to watch the new Lucha Libre USA show on MTV?

Did anyone see Superstars?

Yoshitatsu vs. Primo
Hart Dynasty vs. Usos

Were these two matches any good? Should I seek this out?
