Maybe for a transition move. Doesn't look like a legit finisher for a main eventer in my opinion.

You forgot the Hoglog. It was basically like the Eye of the Hurricane but with a legdrop instead. Also, he used the Cobra Clutch and a Swinging Cobra Clutch Slam when he was in ECW. Damn, how could I forget those? Alright, now the list looks even more sad. The Showstopper - standard Chokeslam Missle Dropkick - used during 'Show's "slim days" in late 1999, most notably in his match against Viscera The Final Cut - Eye of the Hurricane The Alley Oop - Flapjack from a Powerbomb position Dragonsleeper - used for a couple weeks, before Undertaker decided to start using it on his own and name it "Takin' Care of Business" Spear (aka WWE generic big man finisher #42-B) - Used a couple times while teaming with Kane Hog Log - The previously mentioned Final Cut, but using one of his legs rather than his arm to drop the opponent Cobra Clutch Backbreaker - Sometimes this would simply be used as a submission. Other times though (and this definitely looked more devastating than the Showstopper, IMO), he would lift the opponent just prior to the submission, drop their back across his knee, then throw them off to the side, sometimes resulting in the opponent doing a full spin before hitting the ground. Knockout Punch - because WWE can't decide from one week to the next whether Undertaker or 'Show is "the best pure striker in WWE" Camel Clutch - since 'Show is now apparently a submission specialist because he's challenged John Cena to a "match he can't possibly win" at Extreme Rules Do tag-team finishers count? If so, you got the double-chokeslam he used with Kane. I don’t remember if he and Undertaker or if he and Billy Gunn had double-team finishers though.

Honestly I hate how they ban moves. They should just ban dangerous workers. I remember Lance Storm said something along the lines of that he’d rather take 1000 tombstone piledrivers from Finlay than one snapmare from a shitty worker.

Why is it stupid? Taz was ECW champion back when it meant something and he did win the world tag team titles with Spike Dudley. Taz isn’t the first person that a promotion has hyped as a world champion b/c they won the world tag team titles.

Don't forget Kennedy, which looks especially idiotic on him. Yeah, Kennedy also has that stupid clown/jester tattoo on his arm.

He'd definitely have to wear a shirt or some sort of singlet that covers that up. Although knowing WWE, they'll make it part of his gimmick. I can see it now: "The Tramp Stamped Titan" or "The Slag Tagged Smasher"

I always found Stevie Ray to be pretty funny on commentary. “Suckas gots to know!”

Maybe if Matt Morgan ever leaves TNA he could fill that role.

Young face? Dude is almost 38. I guess he's young compared to Booker T, Angle and Nash but it's not like he's some newbie.

Actually, that's not a terrible pick as far as the womens side goes. She has a ton of charisma, just needs to improve in the ring.

Just off the top of my head - John Tatum Eddie Gilbert (They were married) Road Warrior Hawk (Not sure about this, but for some reason I'm thinking she did) I believe she confirmed Road Warrior Hawk in a shoot interview. They were apparently dating for a while

So what's up with Piratebay.org? I used that site a lot a few months ago but I heard the guys who ran it were going to jail or something.

I’m surprised how over he got without having someone like Michael Cole or JR refer to his “frying pan like hands” or “bowling ball sized head”.

Guilty pleasure? That song is awesome!

Fun fact #2: Shane McMahon was also in the main event of the first ever episode of Smackdown.

50000 people in Goldberg's home town going nuts for what should have been a PPV match.... I was there personally, it was definitely not piped in. and as far as piping in crowd noise is concerned, the only time that I know for a 100% fact they they did it was during Goldberg's entrance in the smaller venues they'd run for TV up north where he didn't get much of a pop. I believe they also piped in his chants for Starrcade 1998 (the one where he lost to Nash), but I could be wrong. I'm pretty certain they didn't. I was there and the crowd went nuts for both him and Nash. It was such a boring undercard and everyone pretty much had the life sucked out of them when Bischoff pinned Flair, that the crowd was waiting for anything to wake them up.

Sounds like a job for Dets. Benson and Stabler.

Isn't that IYH: Cold Day in Hell match the one where you can hear Vader telling the ref to tell shamrock to ease up and not be so stiff? Yep, that’s the one. Then when Shamrock kept stiffing him, Vader just unloaded on him with a brutal right hand. They went home pretty much right after that. I was at that event, wasn’t half bad live. The Taker/Stone Cold match was really good as was Vader/Shamrock. Ahmed Johnson's gauntlet challenge against the Nation was pretty interesting as well. Matches weren't good but the crowd was pretty into the final match of it b/c if Ahmed beat Farooq then the Nation would've disbanded. The rest was pretty forgettable though but we did get to see a Rock/Mankind match and I got to chant Die Rocky Die.

Movie reference is Something About Mary. The thread ender is the Mass Transit Incident. New Jack basically stabbed that kid in the face with an exact-o knife.

Seriously, someone point Samoa Joe to a gym. If he keeps this up, he's going to look like Yokozuna.

I call shananigans on that, as Bret had wrestled for less than a year at that point, and had spent like 2 months or so on the D/L with his knee injury. Did his contract specify that he actually had to wrestle or just appear? If it was just appearances, I can see the 310 number b/c I think he was on every RAW during the time his knee was hurt if only to just do interviews with the rest of the Harts. Plus autograph signings and stuff like that may be factored in. If it’s actual wrestling appearances, then I have a hard time thinking he could miss two months and fulfill 310 dates.

I don’t know where the Mulkeys are now but I remember their lone win on WCW Saturday Night vs. The Executioners (or some other generic masked team). I loved the interview afterwards where the Executioners are going nuts after getting beat and making excuses and David Crockett goes, “ya got beat! What else is there to say?” Someone has to put that on the youtube thread.

I think it’s because Cole overuses the phrase. You might have caught JR or King using it once every few shows or something but it’s a Michael Cole staple and annoying one at that. Kinda like when King got really bad with shouting “puppies”.

I vaguely recall him beating mid-level guys by using the ropes or hitting them with Jimmy Hart’s megaphone. I can’t remember him beating anyone but jobbers with his Shake, Rattle and Roll finisher though.
