UNLESS a referee is actively wrestling in the match. Then his strength is x10. Unfortunately, a referee refereeing a referee match is still prone to 10 minutes of knocking outage. Edit: Yes, 'referee refereeing a referee' makes sense, dammit! LMAO that one is gold, why didn't I think of that?

Well if the good ones come back and leave the '20' behind then yes.

Oh yeah it thought me a lot about US locations as well.

Hmmm there are many big matches. Truth be told If I had to pick just one match it wouldn't be a world title match. I am getting it just to see if they will do the swerve that would be HBK beating Taker. For the record I don't see it happening but if anybody could do it it's HBK.

You see my problem with Barry Windham is I first heard of him via his The Stalker days in WWF. This was when I started getting into wrestling, 1996, So that shit gimmick made me think he wasn't a particually good wrestler. Now I find it hard to accept him despite seeing some of his enjoyable older stuff. First impressions last, as the saying goes.

From the posts of yours I have read there is nothing poor about them. Where is Jingus when you need Him?

I am new here so I can't have an opinion, or at least some people would say that. Rubbish of course, everyones opinion is important. I agree with your sentiments, I joined the board for a reason.* The reason is it looked like it was full of entertaining posters. So let us try not to lose them all, come on people stay and post. Make the board fun. *Looks like I joined in the wrong month.

To make shit threads if would appear.

I don't do lyrics sorry.

Silly me how could I forget Nash.

It was working I liked the way you debuted them one after the other HBK, Hall, HHH, um who else was there?

Here is One I love Powerslam wrestling forums

It was partly the era. Some heels like The Sarge when he was anti US and anybody who faced Hogan really did need the security. In those pre internet days there were still s(mart)marks, but very few.

I read the cards you were writing in the build up, quite enjoyable booking actually. Although you did book a lot of family feuds

Please do.

I like this site, I am going to be watching a lot of old shows here, the coming months. Thank you for the link.

Thanks for the advice, but I think that something like Youku would still be easier. (As long as, like we've been saying, everyone loads it in advance. This thing can be "Roseanne Barr trying to walk up a steep hill during a hurricane" slow.) I've wondered what country it was from. I knew it probably wasn't Japan, since there would be a lot more English (or at least Engrish) on the site if that was the case. No it's for sure not Japanese. Mandarin Chinese is what it is. So if anybody needs help on what to 'click' or where to 'click' let me know.

Pity it ended like this. I for one would like to see it start again.

I joined just as all this was going on... ...Please don't suspect me.

Time dependant I would like to join. Can I make a suggestion? I watch live streaming wrestling here... Justin tv. It's usually very reliable and for streaming not terribly slow. Plus it has live chat and watch video at the same time. Basically is combines a live MSN style chat room with the streaming video. Best of all it's in English. The only thing is it doesn't host the videos, somebody needs actually stream it from their PC. youku.com is chinese by the way so if anybody needs a translation of anything.

I signed up for the next one. Wish I had joined the boards in time for this one. fascinating stuff, reading this.

Is there any point in having gimmicks at all these days? Is having a gimmick dead weight in 2009? Would you rather watch nothing but pure wrestling with maybe a storline but with no characters like Kane, Umaga, Abyss or even the Undertaker or would you rather have a mix of Angles and Punks & Boogeymen and Khalis? Now to a certain extent (almost) every wrestler has at least a basic gimmick but most don't let their career rest on it. Angle, Nash, Steiner, Cena, HHH, Orton and so on all have gimmicks but you just don't really notice most of the time because it's in the background. In wrestling past, but since WWE is my first love here in particular, there have been many gimmicks, some extremely stupid and some good but you all know that. Gimmicks no matter how massive they may seem grow stale after a time Taker, Sgt. Slaughter, Kane, Bradshaw (pre JBL), Mankind and even Hulk Hogan (Yes he was a gimmick The All American) all lived by a gimmick, but most outstayed their gimmick (& some were thankfully changed like Bradshaws.) Wrestling wouldn't be what it is or what it was without gimmicks like Hulkamania & Cenacrapola (The new official name for Cena's fan following) but at the same time Gimmicks only attract a certain type of fan the long term fans want real wrestling first & Gimmicks second. I do care in a way about gimmicks (almost) Everyone needs a gimmick. If everyone just showed up, got in the ring and wrestled it wouldn't be very entertaining for long. one could say even that would be boring No gimmick build up, no gimmick character devolopement, & possibly even no explaination for the match. I love gimmicks when they are done well it makes a wrestler more watchable Mankind for instance, if he had no gimmick back in the day, people would have said "Why does he do that stupid mouth thing (mandible claw)?" But with his character it makes sense because he was sadistic and 'mental' (at the beginning). There would be reason for much of anything in Pro wrestling / Sports Entertainment if not for the gimmicks. Yes, a lot of the time there are stupid ones, but there are also so many good ones to balance the equation. I am convinced People do enjoy characters, not just anonymous faces wrestling. So to answer my own question, yes even in 2009 having a Gimmick can still get you a long way.

Really? that is the dumbest thing ever.
