apollo Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) I've been watching lots of WWE youtube throwbacks since I cancelled my WWE network subscription... man... so many amazing clips from 1998 to 2007... WWE was absolutely something else before the Benoit incident. I think Chris was one of the best wrestlers ever... it's a shame he had brain damage. Biopsy showed that he had the brain of an 84 year old alzheimers patient IMO what diminished quality of WWE's product was the flip to PG rating. Only a year after the Benoit incident... once the company got backlash from public for all the steroid use and overly violent working environment. Don't get me wrong, they still do produce decent product. If you skip through a Raw episode in 30-45 minutes and a SD episode in 30 minutes, you still get pretty good entertainment. I think if it was up to Vince himself, it would have never turned PG. Here's a good one... I watched like 20 other Eddie clips after. Viva La Raza.

shiznak Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Undisputed Era are over as ****, and not just Adam Cole. I want to see The Shield vs. Undisputed at SS. Maybe have Triple H and Undisputed vs. Angle, Jordan/Gable, and the Shield. Edited August 25, 2018 by shiznak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapefruits Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Went and saw Mick Foley at Laff Lines last Thursday night in New West. Talked about the Cell match and a fw other things. I could listen to Mick tell stories for hours. He then did a Q&A before ending the show. Gurv Sihra (Sunil Singh in WWE) was in attendance as well as a few of the ECCW guys. Mick brought Gurv up on stage during the Q&A. Awesome show. Really hope he doesn't take another 4 years to come back. https://twitter.com/SinghBrosWWE/status/1035412254101975040 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cope19 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Mick is an awesome human being. I met him after his show in medicine hat years ago. I was not able to attend his show as I was at a wedding next door. I snuck in after and talked to him for a while. He was showing me pics of him dressed up as Santa on his phone and some celebrities hes met and stuff like that. Very humble human being. He signed the guest list of the wedding and came over and crashed the wedding a bit (that part took convincing his manager a bit). Top notch person though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznak Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I don't see Kairi vs. Asuka ever happening under Vince. I don't think they can build up a proper feud with the North American audience with their limited vocabulary. Maybe if they have a special PPV in Japan or something, but I don't recall ever seeing a feud between two Japanese wrestlers ever happening in the WWE (although I could be wrong). I'm still sad that we never got to see Itami vs. Nakamura in NXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only heard about it a couple weeks before the show. Was lucky enough to snag tickets. If Nash ever does a similar show I'd definitely go. He just speaks his mind and doesn't seem to really care who he pisses off. Looking forward to Halloween Hell. Never been to the Anvil Center. ECCW's Ballroom Brawl 11 should also be interesting. They are doing 2 nights for the event at The Commodore January 11th and 12th. Not sure how it's going to work but El Phantasmo is guaranteed to be at the event.

With Foley being here only a few weeks ago and now Flair doing a show, I hope this is a sign of things to come. There are many wrestlers I'd love to see tell their stories live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Arrogant Worms Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Leati Joseph Anoaʻi, known around the world as WWE superstar Roman Reigns, revealed to the world on Monday night that his leukemia has returned and he’ll be stepping away from the ring for a period of time to be with his family as he undergoes treatment. Anoaʻi began his promo on Raw by stating “my real name is Joe, and I’ve been living with Leukemia for 11-years and unfortunately it’s back.” He tearfully told the crowd that he was going to be away from WWE for an unknown period of time, which meant he would be forced to relinquish the WWE Universal championship. He then shared the story of when he was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 22. Anoa’i said he was able to “very quickly” put it in remission. Anoa’i carefully laid the belt in the ring and was embraced by Jonathan David Good (Dean Ambrose) and Colby Lopez (Seth Rollins). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
