Wrestling Thread 9: Lets go Chuck Taylor, you're the best wrestler in the world • Page 98

So the Hogan/Bischoff thing was just an announcement for a shoot freestyle wrestling promotion venture they're teaming up for with some MMA coach. Lame as fuck.

 

Slow day working from home so I put on the first Survivor Series and couldn't believe how hot that crowd was during the opener with Team Savage and Team HTM. I still don't know how they pushed Hogan as a face after he got eliminated on a countout, left the ring, and returned after Andre won just to bash him in the head with the title belt.

On to Survivor Series 1988. Crowd going nuts for Team Warrior's entrance to kick this off.

 

Babyface Hogan being a cry baby and a sore loser is one of the funnier tropes of his era.

 

I know there’s gotta be more instances of him being an asshole while being a mega face. The whole premise of the Mega Powers Explode thing was that Hogan was getting closer and closer with Liz and Savage was…jealous?

 

Well the classic is rumble 92' when he gets eliminated fair and square by sid and as a cry baby he essentially helps heel Ric Flair pull him out. Lol like such a heel move. Poor Sid!

And yes mega powers is essentially Savages toxic jealousy getting the best of him and turning him back to heel. "The lust in your eyes"

 

no one forced wwe to have a b level ppv in a stadium, regardless if it was the last before mania.
they would have easily sold it out in an arena.
i'll go a step further: not every wwe ppv needs to be in a stadium or two nights.

 

I’ll say it again, Mania needs to be in an arena again. Looking back at Mania 14 and Austin winning the title for the first time was so special because it was in an arena. It made feel so much more alive ! I wish they would do an anniversary for Austin’s first title win and do Mania at the TD Garden

 

this makes me happy

 

Kick his ass Steve

 

Just scrolling through Instagram and I randomly find MVP and Jami from Code Orange in the same jujitsu class.

 

Light the fuse bring the boom etc etc

 

they should be calling Kevin Knight and Speedball KNIGHTSPEED!

 

There's something beautiful about Okada drop kicking Kenny to counter a V-Trigger. Brings back fond memories

 

If PWG was a match

 

That match ruled.

 

Happy they gave that match a whole 30 minutes

 

Miyu Yamashita's good and all, but Wakana Uehara as Miyu Yamashita's better.

 

Just got home what did I miss

Also, hip attack me, Toni

 

TK started the show by announcing that you're banned from attending live AEW shows.
