The Wrestling Thread Will Take You Out, Like On a Date

I always thought Ivory was underrated. Great wrestler and was as hot as any diva.

I'm watching the Best of King of the Ring on blu ray. It's good so far. King Booka hosts. Only downside is they don't go into the history too much. They show the coronations though

I need to buy that. And The Austin dvd.

I'd actually never seen it until now. We had a local video store that had several wwf and wcw tapes. I used to love renting those. Later on my cousin started taping the ppvs for me but I never kept them , huge mistake.

I saw the vhs for In your house : Final Four on amazon is selling for about 50.00. Luckily there's other methods of getting some of this stuff but it's tedious and not everything is available.

Back in the old days the way I used to watch ppvs was thanks to one local video store that would bring in all the WWF and WCW ppvs as soon as they came out on vhs. I'd have to wait a lot of months but I eventually saw them.

James Storm beat Angle clean tonight. TNA are really building Storm up as a top guy. Bobby Roode and James Storm ARE TNA.

Didn't watch it but judging by the results it seems like most matches had the right outcome. Storm went over and while neither AJ or Roode won neither lost either...which is good. I didn't read about any clusterf*** finishes. Maybe Brother Love IS changing things for the better.

Yeah, Cole was fine before he tried to be a heel. He was boring, but I preferred boring to this.

He is the worst thing about the program right now, and the worst heel I've ever seen. You don't love to hate him, you just hate him. He ruins shows with his constant screeching about absolutely nothing. He damages matches, he damages wrestlers, and inexplicably the brass continues to say "Hey, let's do a Michael Cole segment."

Nobody wants to see a Michael Cole segment! Ever!

Yeah thats the problem with him. Even as a heel. He ruins the shows. Nobody pays to go to the live shows to see Cole eat up airtime with no return on it. He's heel act is being done just to be done.

He interrupts the show and hurts the flow of segments, matches, etc. Heenan, Lawler, Ventura etc never did that.

Yeah. Michael Cole (the person, not the character) isn't necessarily a bad guy but it's unfortunate how Vince McMahon is portraying him on television. Michael Cole is like the outcast that no one ever cared for until the popular kids allowed him to join their group just so he could provide the lulz and so they could have him do their dirty work. He's nothing more than a pet to Vince McMahon, Triple H and Brian Gerwitz. They know he would do anything to keep his job and you bet your ass they're going to take advantage of that. They probably laugh like a flock of school girls on a weekly basis with the stuff that they feed him during the live broadcasts. When you think about it, regardless of his push it's not necessarily something to be proud of.

And yeah, he was pretty much a watered down version of what Vince McMahon used to be (before turning heel). Neither liked or hated, no gimmick, trying to act unbiased, etc. No matter what nobody compares to Bobby Heenan or Jesse Ventura.

Cole might not be a bad guy but he is indeed the Vince McMahon mouthpiece. And you're right he has followed the progression of Vince McMahon's on air announcer style to a tee.

Anybody who has watched WWE for a long time can see the similarities between McMahon and Cole over the years.

WWE needs a new play by play guy. Move Cole to color commentary and bring in a guy who can deal with Cole and call matches. Lawler has been phoning it in anyway. Josh Matthews ain't gonna cut it, because Cole needs someone to play off of to be a successful heel commentator. Scott Stanford is underrated, maybe give him a shot? He sounds better than Matthews, whose voice is soft and boyish.

The announcer pool is dryer than its ever been. Thats a bad thing for WWE. Cole wouldn't work as a color guy unless he changes his act. And like someone else said he doesn't have the credibility for the position either. They need to do whatever they have too to gt JBL back, put Nash in a color spot, anything.

Oh man...Cole is a horrible play by play commentator. My friends and I used to groan when he'd call matches. He didn't know the names of any of the moves. I remember when Kurt Angle was still in WWE and would hit all kinds of awesome suplexes. Most commentators should know the names of the basic suplexes but Cole would always scream out, "Oh, what a maneuver!"

He was so bad with that whenever we'd get together to watch PPV's we turned it into a drinking game. And, trust me, we all got drunk as hell.

Thats that Vince McMahon style of announcing...only Cole wasn't as familiar with wrestling at first.

A blast from the past.

Underrated hottie and wrestler. I wish WWE had more women like her around today.

JBL isn't going to give up life in Bermuda to return to the WWE as an announcer.

Agreed!

 

[Darkness Falls]

If Chris Jericho is coming back, he's my pick to win the Royal Rumble. Its the last big accomplishment missing from his resume.

Yeah, you're better off importing the Silvervision DVDs. They're a little pricey, but the commentary and music is uncensored and of course its in DVD quality.

that was like our video store here haha, it was the only place that had wrestling tapes

Cannot wait for Y2J to return. WWE has had an ugly empty space. I don't really want to see Jericho coming back as a heel. More entertaining as a face.

 

[Darkness Falls]

saw this on tv the other night and laughed myself silly
idk what was more amusing the cheesy music or the fact they got otunga to do the ad

unless he's gonna be backstage with johnny ace, he won't even get screentime at tlc

It's hilarious how the promo comes off as so homo-erotic.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

An oiled up body and a white background really don't make for a good viewing experience, unless you're watching gay porn.

RAW starts at eight tomight, right?
