King Kamala

IIRC, the Rockers used "Livin' After Midnight" for a bit after they started in WWF. I remember watching some YouTube clips of their early matches where they came out to it. And I thought WWF stopped using outside music for the most part in 86ish.

The two major feuds they had were with The Filthy Animals and Paul Orndorff (who trained all of them except Shawn Stasiak IIRC) and with The Insiders (the short lived DDP-Kevin Nash tag team).

Yep, that's right Cheech. And Kevin Nash was sort of a member of the stable as their "Coach" before they kicked him out and he feuded with him. They were around from IIRC September 2000 to February 2001. I think that's all the basic background of the stable you need.

Alright, it's time for another edition of our weekly Let's Talk About thread... I know a lot of you probably didn't watch WCW in the second half of the year 2000, but this was an incredibly interesting collection of raw talent. As a semi-mark at the time, I thought these guys would dominate wrestling for the next decade, in particular Sean O'Haire and Mike Sanders. WCW even did fairly decent job (by WCW standards at least) of pushing them as such. On the other hand, these guys were green as hell and they may have been given too much to soon.Then WWF bought out WCW and these guys went nowhere really. It says something when Chuck Palumbo is the most successful member of your stable. And there haven't been many more guys, at least in this decade, with more wasted potential than Sean O'Haire. That guy had a good look, was agile for his size, and his short-lived Devil's Advocate character in WWE is one of my favorite of all time. But he never seemed to go anywhere. I thought for sure he'd have a Worlds title by now but instead he's fat and is doing MMA (rather poorly from what I hear). What are your thoughts on this stable from WCW's dying days? Edit: I realize I was one of a small group of WCW viewers in its dying days so if you're not familiar with the stable itself, feel free to talk about the members' success (or lack thereof) after the stable was disbanded.

I'm there because of Steve Coogan. The premise is intriguing too. Ben Stiller's due for another good movie.

Stiller was kind of ripped during The Ben Stiller Show days. I was surprised to see that when I rewatched it a month or two back.

He's wrestling at the great four hour television taping in the skies now

Oh boy I bet WrestleMania Weekend in Mexico City would be a hoot! And that would mean Mil Mascaras getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame! *starts a WrestleMania in Mexico City petition*

Flair also had some semi-competitive matches with Joey Maggs in the early 90s.

I was in attendance for the worst loss in Boston Celtics history back in January '03. They lost to The Pistons. Checking on basketball-reference, I see the score was 118 to 66. Ouch. The only fun moment at the game was when what was left of the crowd chanted for Bruno Sundov when he entered in at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

But EHME took the hit to the head like a man, Dandy!

This afternoon

That's it- I'm posting a Bruiser_Brody to die by the end of April thread in Graphics Testing....

Oh the Pizza Hut's Game Face thread needs to be in there, solely for the purpose of having the Food Folder represented in Classics.

Ah yes, Keiper's Folly as I call it. I'm biased since I posted a lot in it but I think Chris Masters/JN News is Dead is worth considering for Classics.

Well these Damien Demento videos have become really unfunny Seriously this a WCW 2000 level bad "comedy" skit where Demento goes back to wrestling school.

Hey, let us not forget that The Enquirer was the one to reveal that Jesse Jackson had an illegitimate child! But I'm not believing in till I see it on The Insider

*shakes head and leaves*

I hope I'm the one exception to users with wrestling in their screen names always suck! I haven't gotten ridden of the Kamala part (and won't ever) because I'm a creature of habit. I'm confident enough in my posting abilities to have a wrestling related screenname. Edit- Wait a second, Dandy is pretty good. OK, those are two exceptions.

Patrick Swayze has terminal pancreatic cancer Yikes, the cast of Road House is not having the best of luck in these past few days. Hopefully, this news report isn't true (it was originally reported by The Enquirer) but several other places have picked it up.

If you do so, you should take a picture of your head popping out of a trash can and use it as your avatar.

canadiandestroyer213 Mecca- The poor man's Enigma or is Enigma the poor man's Mecca? You decide dx1997 truthiness Bruiser_Brody Chazz- I like Brody, I can understand why he's in this tournament and why others don't like him but I do. Superjerk edgehead69- Despite us both being long-time posters, I don't really know SuperJerk. Edgehead69 is just another WWE folder mouthbreather. MVP- I hate this guy. Hate him. Matt Young KingPK jericholic82- I don't hate Jericholic82, yeah he's kind of dumb but he seems harmless enough and contributes a bit (emphasis on a bit) in the general folder. But KingPK shouldn't be in this tournament at all. dustinbeaverton- Raz was bad but he hasn't been here for months. Razateca Bix- See above except replace Raz with Vanhalen Vanhalen Battlenuts Enigma- I smell a little gay around here! pbone majormayhem1- Hate this guy. EHME/Simon Brigante C-Bacon Kawalimus TaigaStar- Toughest matchup in this round. Kawalimus is good for unintentional comedy. TaigaStar isn't good for anything. UsethesledgehammerUh- Upset of the round. Marvinisalunatic Cheech Tremendous flairfan- Cheech is too much of a grouch sometimes but he's also a damn fine poster. flairfan ruins 24/7 threads. Cena's Healed Pec Illustrious One Downhome- Coin flip. Don't really dislike either. Mole
