Without the Wrestling Thread, There Is...No...You! - - Part 187

I have a feeling that this is going to go horribly wrong. Like it'll be intended to be something really positive, but they end up doing something really offensive without realizing it. This is the same company that had a group of Mexican guys come out riding a lawnmower.

If he were still alive then the angle would have culminated with Big Bossman hitting Kofi with his nightstick backstage when we was entering catering. Then claiming it was self defense.

Is this her usual gimmick?

Not a gimmick. It's her being herself.

Not too long ago, her only ambition was to lead a church choir. Then, she hung out with NextNolan during the Wrestlemania 30 weekend.

Shame on you, sir. Shame!

Our safe word was:

It would be a bad PR nightmare for the WWE to have every single African American employed by the WWE walk out of the company, so sooner or later they have to do something right with their black wrestlers. Does the WWE want to be sued by the NAACP for racial discrimination? Do we want to see Kofi, Big E, Xavier, Mark Henry, Titus O'Neil, Darren Young, David Otunga, R-Truth, Booker T, Byron Saxton and the ladies Alicia Fox, Layla, Naomi, Cameron and Sasha Banks all stand there in a press conference while Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton bash the WWE for their racist standards? I doubt that. Again it would be a bad PR nightmare for the WWE.

I don't see that happening though unless the WWE does something really stupid (and that cannot be ruled out) like debuting a Neo-Nazi group or a faction of white wrestlers in Blackface. That cannot be ruled out though, as if it does happen, it will be proof beyond the shadow of a doubt that Vince is mentally incompetent to run a business.

As an Asian American, I am confident that the former KENTA will do well in WWE.

Jay Lethal vs. Matt Sydal/Evan Bourne at Final Battle. That'll be awesome, but I wish it could've been Lethal/ACH at the big show.

According to the Wrestling Observer, Mark Henry was appearing in WrestleMania 31 ads because WWE wanted to "make sure someone of his race" was in it

Last night, PWInsider.com reported “The Icon” Sting is scheduled to make his WWE TV debut at Survivor Series tomorrow night. As of now, he is not scheduled to appear at next week’s WWE TV tapings.

F4WOnline.com is reporting their sources also believe Sting will be at Survivor Series, but that has yet to be confirmed. The timing of Sting debuting at Survivor Series, however, makes sense for a number of reasons.

With regards to Randy Orton, Dave Meltzer is reporting he was spotted eating at a restaurant in St. Louis, and doing virtually nothing to keep his presence in St. Louis hidden.

As far as him appearing at Survivor Series, however, it could just be that Orton is in town as he lives in St. Louis and was reportedly visiting with is father today.

However, he is indeed in St. Louis, which seems to indicate his filming responsibilities are finished, making an Orton appearance at Survivor Series both possible and very likely

Earlier today I saw the movie "Dinner for Schmucks" and was disappointed to find out it starred Paul Rudd and Steve Carrell instead of Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn.

 

[Bat Brain]

Here's an idea: put potential Survivor Series spoilers in spoiler tags. What you posted above could have been a cool surprise.

The Orton thing I believe. The Sting rumor? I believe it when I see it.

What could they possibly do with Sting tomorrow night? I think without the Undertaker coming back, options with him are limited. If this is a set up for WM, then who could he really face at WM at this point? Cena...? I can't see that working well. Sting/Rock...? You'd need to bring back Rock. Perhaps he does the appearance in the rafters to get the fans in a tizzy. The WWE does need any shot in the arm they can get at this point...

I went back and watched the original Survivor Series main event: Team Hogan Vs. Team Roussimoff. Its surprisingly good considering most of the participants were hosses. The action was fast paced for 15 minutes straight. Lots of tags and emphasis on teamwork. Orndorff gave a wonderful performance and Patera was on fire for this! The Richfield crowd was going wild until Hogan's numbers started to dwindle before Bigelow gave a valiant effort against insurmountable odds.

The Orton thing I believe. The Sting rumor? I believe it when I see it.

Guess that GM rumor might come true after all.

If they go the Sting as GM route....

I guess that answers my question. I hadn't heard about that.

OK guys, For all the people that have watched the first ever StarrCade, where would you rank as far as the Greatest Wrestling PPVs of all time go?

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Kota Ibushi is easily one of the most breathtaking wrestlers of this generation. It's rare to see someone with his accuracy.

Didn't Sting say if he can't go up against the UT he would like to go up against HHH?

That being said with the Authority pretty much coming to an end at Survior Series most likely they probably would need a Person to put in charge. It would be interesting to see if they put Sting in that GM Role and that could lead up to maybe a Sting vs. HHH match at WM if anything unless the UT wants to wrestle one last match.

Top 20 or 30 for sure. Personally I'd hesitate to put it in a top ten. It deserves recognition for its overall historical significance. The stuff that's great; the cage match, the dog collar match, the tag title match, is really great. The rest of the card is forgettable.

 

[Wheels]

If you want to be completely surprised then don't post in a wrestling thread in the modern era. It's rumor about an appearance, not something confirmed.
