That's a nasty blade job there.

I said it in another thread somewhere. That I am working and studying in Ireland. I am in Dublin county. (Fingal.)

I would say succeeding, not trying.

First to feature a nameplate? WTF?

Where have you being? I am in Ireland at the moment. That's no secret. Irish use mate like its going out of fashion.

No I get your meaning mate.

Well it's obscure here...

As usual Hogan is distorting the truth heavily. He was asked to wrestle at the show. This is a fact. However in a midcard attraction vs Jericho. He asked for too much money and was told no. So he decided to have back surgery. Surgery that he knew 6 months ago he was going to have right after WM. It was in no way out of nowhere. He got pissed off because he couldn't get a big enough pay day so he took the surgey early. Where did you hear this? I actually think Cena/Hogan was what they wanted. There actually was alot of talk a few months ago about Hogan/Cena, in fact I think in this thread there was a even a post that someone credited a report of a lineup being leaked that was completely accurate now looking back, sans Cena/Hogan, so there is a chance this was actually true. Ultimately, that explains why Cena was just kind of thrown into that Show/Edge stuff, too. And reports earlier were that Jericho might be working against Austin, not Hogan. Ultimately, if Hogan/Cena and Jericho/Austin would be on this card, we would have a very stacked lineup and undoubtably there would be no question that this would be a sizable buyrate from it. I read it in English wrestling magazine Powerslam.

Thanks for educating me. What an obscure reference to have as a folder name.

He He what have I started here?

As bad as that was I have seen worse.

Unless its a match with a midcard title on the line. Then there will be the magic foot/hand on the rope.

Me too, mind I am still not quite sure the correct use of the word.

What the hell's a Gulag anyway? No holds barred has a nice traditional ring to it.

Woah Muta did one hell of a bladejob. Funny I don't recall that Undertaker one. I remember one night both HBK and Vince McMahon overbladed and bled a little too heavy. What PPV was that?

I learnt what Vivify meant thanks to Dean Douglas at Summerslam 95

Unless you are a black tag team... When ever you take time to set up a chair, table ring steps or other illegal implement, be assured that you are going to be the one taking the bump through said item(s). When preparing to take a finisher, you will be rendered immobile for the entire time it takes your opponent to do his warm up for the move. see: Tuning up the band, 5 knuckle shuffle, people's elbow etc. When a wrestler becomes a referee, his resilliance will automatically diminish to that of a regular referee.

He sure did a good job. One of the few times a match has crossed the line into genuine worry for a talent's health. As opposed to more frequent mark(ish) worry when a match is booked right.

Notable examples Steve Corino, everytime he bled in ECW, his blonde hair turned red and dripping. Jerry Lynn, see above. Steve Austin, Mania 13, the blood was absolutely GUSHING, perhaps the fact that he's bold did exaggerate the blood, but still, epic moment. Ric Flair, his match with Trips at (Cyber Sunday?) in a cage, Ric bled like no ones business... Well brutal IMO. Mick Foley as Cactus Jack, the epic picture of his blood strewn face with only his eyes and mustache viewable.. But honestly, the worst i've seen someone bleed that isn't in the indies, when people pretty much nearly die, is... Eddie Guerrero vs JBL. Eddie during that match, geez, the blood, I actually thought the match might be thrown out, and justifiably thrown out. Does anyone know if that was a legit cut he had from the chairshot or from a screw up on his part from blading?

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.

What do you think are the unwritten rules of WWE - past and present-? Here's what I've got: - No amount of offence will stop Hulk Hogan when he is Hulking Up. - Referee's are the weakest people in the world: once someone runs into one, their knocked out for 10 minutes. -security guards are on a similar level of weakness as referees, which is why it always takes more than 4 security guards to suppress one wrestler. -Wrestlers are not allowed to carry weapons that could actually kill the opponent i.e. knives, guns etc. regardless of how personal the feud is. Any weapons carried that could kill the opponent must not be used to the full effect of their power (i.e. how HHH's sledgehammer). -During a Hardcore match any weapon is acceptable (be it a paddle, watermelon or a cake). During ANY other match however, weapons can only be selected from under the ring. -He pays your wages, he looks after you when you get injured, but it's still alright to make fun of your boss and attack him. -in normal situations weapoons knock yo uout but in hardcore matches it wont. -if its a wrestlers finisher it will be devastating where as if a wrestler uses it as a normal move its averge affect. -if a heel jobber gets offence in on a higher rated wrestler it will be kicks when there down and sulplexs and countless pins. -If you piss off Triple H, make sure the week after you check under the ring for a sledgehammer. -If drinking beer with Stone Cold after a match, 9/10 times you will get a stunner. -If in a tag team match with DX, when Shawn Michaels hit you with Sweet Chin Music, you don’t go down, you turn around to be hit with the Pedigree. -If in a ladder match, take forever to get up there and reach for the belt even though your only on the second step. -If you are a giant, you will be World champion (Or at least a main event push) within a year of you debut (Undertaker, Kane, Big Show etc.) -Undertaker will win at Wrestlemania. (Except this year I am really not sure!) -At the old UK only PPVs (Insurextion, Rebellion etc) championships that matter will never change hands. -If you are related to anyone in else who is also a wrestler, YOU WILL END UP FUEDING. -Even the worst moves ever can get over as finishers (Hogan Legdrop, Peoples Elbow and The Worm.) -never... EVER... attempt to subdue an angry Samoan by headbutting them or attempting anything with their heads in general. They have the hardest heads on the planet and feel nothing.

I've been meaning to put this up for a while now, since I joined actually, what unexpected things has pro-wrestling taught you that have nothing to actually do with wrestling itself? The reason I thought of this thread is because I learned to count to ten in Spanish because of Super Crazy in ECW, so I was wondering what, if anything, the rest of us have learned over the years.
