The Fear Of The Wrestling Thread Is Far Greater Than The Wrestling Thread Itself - Part 151

[Hunter Rider]

I bear a small degree of sympathy for the specific ill-informed individual who disapproves of this induction.

Pinkien Sandow!

Tyson was put in 2 years ago.

2012

Ah that's right,I remember him being at WM Fan Axxcess but for some reason I forgot about him in the HOF

 

[SuperBatman]

Yeah Tyson got inducted by HHH and HBK in 2012

 

[cabel]

We need a Mike Tyson/Mr. T standoff yesterday!

 

[TheNextNolan22]

R.I.P. Togi Makabe. We hardly knew ye.

 

[cabel]

I did not expect Fale to win that match.

Japanese Diesel using Razor's finish!

Prince Devitt ends Lance Archer’s miserable life.

For those with the network, are there any classic era wrestlers that you've enjoyed discovering, meaning you had little if any knowledge of them beforehand beyond maybe a name?

I really need to check Prince Devitt out.

I'm not there yet, but I'm going to watch WWF late 80s to early 90s, specifically the time of Hogan, Savage, and Warrior. While I've seen some of the matches, I've never experienced them before.

And I'm looking forward to when more NWA stuff becomes available so I can experience the era of the Four Horsemen.

Billy Graham. Superstar was truly ahead of his time. He should've been the 5 year WWF Champion, not boring Bob Backlund.

Silence!

YEAOH!!

YEAOH!!

The long lost extra from the "Beat it" video.

Nolan, you already mentioned that you're picking Shibata to win the cup, who are you expecting him to face in the finals?

Anybody but Shelton Benjamin. But I'm going with Nakamura. I know it's early, but I think Nakamura will win the G1.

For fun, I'm picking my predictions one round at a time, but at the moment I'm expecting Shibata vs Goto for the finals. With Goto being a former cup winner, wanting another shot at Okada, and being Shibata's tag team partner, that seems like a good way to go about it. But maybe I'm booking to much like an American.t:

Are you thinking they'll do Nakemura vs. Okada for Wrestlekingdom? Nakemura seems to be the one major guy Okada hasn't faced as far as I know.

Oh Cabel. Gotta book less like Vince McMahon and more like Jado and Gedo.

And as far as I know, they've had only one singles match and that was all the way back in 2008. They recently teamed up against Tanahashi and Naito.

Not only should Hall, Roberts, Warrior and Mr. T be allowed to write their own speeches without any guidance or censorship whatsoever, they should also deliver them simultaneously.

If you've been paying attention to this thread, you know I book nothing like Vince McMahon.
