wrestling thread

I think Gangrel didn't get as far as he could've because he didn't play ball with Vince. Vince wants to own all the characters and gimmicks, so he can continue to make money off merchandise, if you get over. Gangrel has always owned his name and gimmick and likeness and wouldn't give it up.

So, putting too much time and effort into Gangrel wasn't a long-term investment for Vince.

 

The Heenan Stable in the NWA had so many great wrestlers, Nick Bockwinkle, Ray Stevens, Blackjack Lanza, and loads of others. They rival the Horsemen. Lou Albano when he had the Samoans and others was the greatest manager.

Worst was because I hated them, the Hart Foundation. I liked Bret, but Neidhart, Davey Boy and Dynamite Kid sucked.

 

I'm partial to the JOB Squad. hahaha


Or the bWo

 

This was my favorite Ruthless Aggression era jobber faction.

 

Your favorite WWE moments?

- WCW Invasion (this story arc dragged out a bit too long but at its peak, it was freaking awesome!)

- Eddie Guerrero wins WWE Championship (Eddie wasn't even one of my favorite wrestlers but chills when he pinned Lesnar)

- CM Punk's pipebomb (to this day, I still don't know how much of it was fake)

- The Shield invasion (best faction of the new era)

- Jericho's debut (greatest entrance in WWE history)

- Nakamura's debut (greatest entrance of this generation)

- HHH pedigrees Foley on thumbtacks (the only time I was disturbed by wrestling, the shock value was a perfect 10)

- Edge announcing retirement out of nowhere (one of the saddest moments for me, chills when the crowd got behind him)


I'm sure I'm forgetting many...

 

First Year of 4 Horsemen
First 6 months of NWO
1989 WCW
1995 ECW
Flair in the 92 Rumble
The Austin Bret stuff from the RAW before 97 WM.
Eddie win vs Brock
Edge first cash in
Joe 2005 TNA
Sad but when Owen died at the ppv because it was just a weird situation knowing that he passed away on the show.
Feb. 6 1999 ECW Concord, NC--ECW were not my parents thing and I even talked them into going. It was great!!!!!!

 

Most memorable moments from my generation:
- nWo formation
- nWo attacks WCW guys with bats in parking lot, Nash throwing Mysterio like a dart into a production truck
- nWo vs 4 Horsemen in War Games
- Austin/Hart feud
- Undertaker/Mankind fued
- original Undertake/Kane feud
- Sting/Hogan build-up
- DDP/Savage fued
- ECW Barely Legal
- Sabu vs Funk in barbed wire ropes match
- Sabu/RVD tag team and feud at the same time
- Mick Foley anti-hardcore wrestling promos in ECW
- Sabu vs Sandman Starway to Hell match
- Dudleys causing riots every week in ECW

 

This was a great moment. Probably one of TNA last moments that were really really great. This should have made Lethal TNA's top babyface for many years to come and he even was just in his mid 20's when he did this and in TNA style did nothing with him after this.
