Name one babyface who got to the top level because the people felt sorry for him. Mikey Whipwreck. though most of you probably will ignore ECW here.

I once used Backlunds chickenwing in a scuffle back when I wa s in 7th grade in PE class with an 8th grader. (this was in late 94 around the titme backlund regained the title and was THE heel at the time). This kid was crazy so in oder to restarin him, I put him in the hold and actually picked him off the ground (I was much stronger then he was and a bit bigger) I didnt hurt him though thankfully. I just saw a fight in a bar on sat night in the pool room, like 8 guys surrounded and beat on 2 guys and the one guy grabbed a pool cue and dared them to hit him and thge other actually used a chair shot lmao my elementary school friends and I used to wrestle at lunchtime in the early 90s. I often would be the ref and ignore the faces tag and allow the heels to cheat by being constantly distracted. we did royal rumbles by throwing each other over a barricade. my cousin tombstoned me on his bed once and alter gave me the razors edge. no pain thankfully. One time I foudn myself in 7th grade, having to fight approx. 6 or 7 guys on my own. I was taking karate classes at the time so I busted out some sweet kicks and actually held my own. I clotheslined one guy too. In high school in class one kid did the peoples elbow to another during a friendly paly fight it was pretty funny.

Just realized that myself, I only put it on last week, cuz I finally figured out where evereyone was getiign those avatars from (yes I have been here for three years and didnt know that till now lol) is there one that nobody uses? cuz maybe Ill change it to that?

the jake turn? lets turn it over to rd at wrestlecrap.com for that one The Ultimate Warrior. The name alone sends chills down the back of even the most hardened wrestling fan. Whether you love Jim Hellwig or hate him, you have to admit he has an aura about him that makes people sit up and notice. Oh yeah, and he was also involved in some of the dumbest angles of all time. Like this one. Let's set the Way Back Machine for the early 90's... Warrior is in a feud with a brand new guy called the Undertaker. You see, the Taker shoved the Warrior into a casket and locked it, which would, admittedly, tend to agitate most people. Especially when you consider the rescue crew consisted of Earl Hebner and Rene Goulet (sans glove), who tried to open the casket with useful objects like drills and sledge hammers. Hey, don't ask me - maybe they were trying to BEAT HIM OUT of the casket. Anyhoo, the dipshit duo was finally able to open the casket and find a rather unhealthy (but not dead) Warrior passed out inside. Warrior knew he was in over his head, so he needed to turn to someone who knew the darkside. Someone evil. So who did he turn to? Jimmy Jack Funk? Koko B. Ware?? Lord Alfred Hayes??? No, silly, he turned to someone he could TRUST... ...our old pal, Jake "The Snake" Roberts! Jake took Warrior on a nature walk to the dark side. You see, if Warrior could be evil, he could defeat evil. Or something like that. Jake can probably explain it better than I can. First up, Warrior had to face the fear of the casket. Jake put Warrior in the coffin that the Undertaker constructed, and then convinced Warrior to let him close the lid. Jake had Warrior exercise by doing a few of the Undertaker's patented zombie situps. So far, so good. Next up, we head out to the cemetary. Let it be known that no good in wrestling has ever come out of a cemetary (we hold up this and the Sting-Vampiro feud of this year as irrefutable evidence). Warrior digs a grave and find a skull. Jake convinces the Ultimate Nimrod that he should really let him bury him alive. Warrior obliges because he's stupid. Jake does a nice job of filling in the grave, burying Warrior up to his ears. In a cute touch, he puts the skull face to face with Warrior. I wonder if any cemetaries could use an over the hill, out of work drunk on the payroll? Somehow, Warrior unearthed himself and met up with Jake in a crypt or mine or something - it was kinda vague. Jake tells Warrior that the key to beating the Taker is in a dark room. Inside the room is a casket, and all the warrior has to do is open it up to find out what it is. So the Warrior traipses into the room to find... SNAKES! Well, what the hell was he expecting? A leftover shipment of WWF Ice Cream Bars? Warrior, undeterred (and too dumb to figure out this just MIGHT be a trap), heads for the center of the room to find a tiny casket.. ...which is very carefully opens to reveal... ...a plastic snake! With a BIG SMILE!! It almost looks as if it were saying this. Instead of falling down laughing, Warrior snuck in for a closer look. Imagine the Warrior's horror as the plastic snake came to life and fell down! Somehow this caused the Warrior to start writhing about in pain. I guess he must have cut his finger on the plastic fangs on the snake or something. Warrior cried to Roberts about trusting him... ...but Roberts showed no remorse, and instead, introduced his new catchphrase. Jake then handed Warrior over to the Undertaker and Paul Bearer... ...who left him for dead. Well, at least he already had a casket. All this led, of course, to the big Jake Roberts - Ultimate Warrior feu...oh wait, no it didn't. Warrior left shortly after this due to a contract dispute or something. Or maybe he was smarter than we think, and just wanted to get out of this crappy angle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Jake Roberts: "You want to learn, you'll lay down and you'll relax and accept it. You gotta walk it alone. I can show you the path, but I can't walk along and hold your hand. So if you're ready, Warrior, as ugly as it is and as bad as it smells, release it! Release it. Come on, open up your soul and let the snake in." - Jake: "Now I must bury you in the same soil...the very same soil, my man. Bury your fear, Warrior." Warrior: "I trusted you before, Snake Man. Before my gods I trust you once again. BURY ME, SNAKE MAN! BURY ME ALIVE!" Jake: "Stand your ground, Warrior! Stand your ground!" Warrior: "BURY ME!" *SNORTS* - That snake seems to be saying: "HOW ARE YA?!" - Jake: "Yeah, reach out for me. I'm a snake. Never trust a snake." as for the taker face turn, at the SNME, after jake lost to savage, he waited behind the curtain with a chair, he saw liz coming close, before she mad eit thru the curtain, Taker appeared from nowhere to grab the chair out his hand and stop him, this led to the funeral parlor incident which cemented taker as the face.

I would second hogan and bulldog pretty shocking. scott steiners turn in 98 was shocking, though there were pretty obvious hints for months, but to a mark wow. Owen turn in 94 shocked me, cuz I thought they had made up.

Regal was a defacto face during the first two months or so of the invasion, untill he cost angle the wwf title against austin on "the biggest raw ever" (yes it was billed as such that week)

well besides taking a shower backstage at Raw for no particular reason.

candace also was on the higlight reel once(after her Superbowl commercial but it got interrupted by hassan and daivari), thats about all of note she has done

I was just watching the royal rumble 04 dvd and big show got put in the walls and the crossface and tapped out both times, my q is why would a wrestler tap out if its not a way to end the match?

I guess Austin didnt want to press charges? and why are you asking these questions? I have wondered them for years till I finally gave up.

I have to agree his current haircut is pretty bad. Fozzy skyrocketing? LMAO

my ps has made noises for it sems forever, especially in wwe games after SYM. It makes the reading noise constanttly, especially in games with commetary (sports games) or soudn bites. Its no that loud, I barely notice it most times. I dont knwo if it is bad or not. But I asumme my ps2 must be wornd down a little at least after 2 and a half years of gaming and watching dvds.

yea, plus you keep wanting to do all the cool sa stuff, you forget that you cant climb walls or shoot out windshields or tires or what have you .

I dont see all this love for Kash. He was only around for ecws last year. and his lame kid rock ripoff gimmick was kinda poitnless IMO at elast, but he had great matches. what I mean here is, the only guys that can prob work this show well are the guys who werent around in ecw until the end.

no matter he would have died anyway at the end.

Probably no build. But I wasnt watching at the time so i dont know. Id assume they just annoucned the team. remember this is wwf, where all faces like each other no matter their past.

As for JBL, I dont think his chacater would have been so great if it werent for the wwe title. remember he didnt hit his heel stired untill he won it, and started recruting lackeys and beocming more over the top and bragging. Sure most will make the case for a us title run first, but it wouldnt have worked so weel for him. Really the onyl other heel on sd at the time was booker t

actually it was rikishi who made too cool popular, it was the rikishi dancing that people loved, well that and the stinkface. wrestlecrap studied this once. They concluded that since rikishi already had a dancing gimmick before (the dreadful "Makin a difference Fatu" of 1995-96), that the sole reason he became popular in 2000, had to be the big ass. turning one of your most poular faces heel on a whim will retyy much kill all his heat. (IMO the WWF wanted to have a surprise hit and run driver instead of the obvious DX members or HHH, but the fans took a crap all over rikishi as the guy, so they had to insert Trips as th emastermind to save the angle)

Yeah impact had some good guys there. Also Aaron Aguilera (wwes Jesus) was a popular star here. They had a school in Simi Valley and later in my area of Oxnard. The local paper jad an artcle on that I still have it somewhere

well the only people I "met" outside a wwe show was really just one, ref Tim White, he signed an auto for me . I saw some guys coming in and they waved but thats baout it. However I did mean lot of wrestlers at that WWA show. They were really cool and most seem willing to talk with us (especially Jeff Jarrett, who was the nicest wrestler I have ever met) The best guys are the indy guys. Hell they probably just love attention since theyre littleknown for the most part. I would say just be cool with them, just have a normal talk. Compliment them nicely if you wish but nothing too scary.

Yea I thought it looked better last night. The problem with the move is that he basically started it as a literal FU to Brock, whos long gone now. But since the people buy it, why change it up? However I fear this title push may be a year too late.

Well you know I have some words on this subject. Yeah theyve pretty much done all they can to kill his character, yet he remains over enough, that if they tried to make him a challenger for the world title (heel or face) the fans would buy it. Benoit is in the same position. Face it, my nero and paragon of virtue will never be the top anything in WWE. He was bascially the next big thing in the WWF back in 99. By early 2000 he was over enough to have a world title reign. But hey, if he doesnt like whats going on, I dont blame him for wanting to leave the cesspool that WWE has become. He's getting older now, and he may be on borrowed time (luckily he has had very few injuries in his career so that may not be the case) TNA is a joke so forget that. I can see him going back to tours of Japan and Mexico perhaps. He can command decent money anywhere he wants due to his WCW and WWF/E exposure. If he does leave.....well godbye Chris we hardly knew ye (well thanks to HHH)

Make that 4 matches . . . the 2 Tag Title Matches, CW Open, and Women's Title Match. Plus, all the hype videos are hacked outta there, except for UT/Kane. The quality is surprisingly good for EP though as they clipped the event down to 3 hours. oh i didnt know that, i dont have the vhs.

same thing here

................................................................................ ................C'mon, Ready to Rumble?! At least gimmie an Eight-Legged Freaks or something. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is another movie I enjoy that features Arquette. How can you not enjoy for the greatness that is the movie Ready 2 Rumble? It shows the extremes from both sides of the business! You got the insane #1 fans doing everything they can to help the hero and you got the backstage political backstabbing from the GM and the workers. Its the best workshoot movie ever! Agreed. At least that was a wrestling movie that exposed the business. Though it was dumb that a promoter would agree to let his top guy have a shoot match with a fired wrestler. and I loved Vegas Vacation but evryone hate sit
