BUTT

You know, I honestly don't see what's SO bad about the full nelson. It's all in how effective they sell the move as being. Nobody has really used the full-nelson for a while, so it's seen as being old-school and thus ineffective. When you think about it, the move (if actually applied) could really hurt your arms and neck. If everyone could take a move like the People's Elbow as a serious, world-title winning finisher, I don't see what's so bad about a full-nelson. During Scott Steiner's time as Big Poppa Pump, I always thought they should change his finisher to a swinging full-nelson, as it would at the very least be better than the Recliner (although really, anything would). I really think every wrestler in WWE should have at least one pinfall finisher and one submission finisher. It would help to make matches more interesting and help fans get into the submission moves more.

I remember back in mid-93 in WWF magazine they announced that in upcoming issues they would be running a series of articles in which they would defend WWF and Titan Sports from the allegations (drug, sex, etc.) that had been made against them. The first article was really good and it concerned Billy Graham and the steroid allegations that had made against the WWF. Even at a young age, I was surprised to see WWF actually acknowledging their various scandals in the pages of their own magazine. Well, the month after the Graham article, they announced that the second part of the series would not be running that month, and in fact it never ran at all, as the series of articles ended at one. Does anyone know why they stopped running these articles? The series started and ended before McMahon was indicted, so I don't think that had anything to do with it. Did Titan's legal team advise them that it was best not to draw any attention to these claims, or was there another reason? Thanks in advance to anyone who has any answers about this.

^ Agreed.

I can't believe that Counting Crows dude used to go out with Jennifer Aniston.

I was a fourth grade spelling bee runner-up. I guess my skills have declined since then.

But I don't like Simple Plan. That song they wrote for Motley Crue is awful. And the word you're thinking of is either Indubitably or Indoubtably. I'd guess the former.

Jesus, CronoT just can't catch a break.

I think that's Johnny Gunn and Brad Armstrong, but I could be wrong.

Personally, I think that the most interesting this about Hart's comeback interview is that when they show all the heels watching backstage on a monitor, The Rock is standing there with them, despite the fact that he hadn't debuted yet.

Isn't Hogan's son around 15?

I thought Ray Licachelli and Ray Apollo were the same guy.

When I was 10, my brother and I used to play with wrestling figures and we came up with an angle where Ric Flair won an "I quit" match over Bret Hart because someone played a clip of Hart saying "I quit" over the loudspeaker. This was 3 and 1/2 years before WWF did it with Rock and Mankind.

It got locked and pinned.

I'm not just going to ignore a thread about myself.

The S**** K**** wedding thread. You posted in it! Then it carried over into the "The following people are awful" thread.

No way. Unlike the immortal film character after whom I have named myself, I am not a fighter. Besides which, he's a mod. You can't win against those people.

Well, consider this. I made a thread about S**** K****. It got closed. Does that sound like losing to you? I say yes.

I voted for the first "yes". But I certainly don't like Simple Plan!

I was hoping it would encourage mockery of a known TSM enemy. It's not like that Reshad guy who would start threads about how he thought Scooter was a "pretty" man.

I can't "lose" on here without explaining mself.

I think people misunderstood my intentions in creating that Keith thread.

Well, keep in mind, HHH (in character) disavowed the racial remarks before WM, probably because he realized there was no way he could go over in the match if the storyline was black man vs. racist.

Mike's right. The big advantage that they have in this particular "down period" as compared to the one in the mid 90's is that they have no competition - there will always be a market at least in the low millions for wrestling, and WWE has a stranglehold on that market for now.

Come on, Slapnuts isn't really a bad poster. He just made one really bad post and everyone gives him shit because of it.

Ladies and gentlemen, useless moron Scott Keith is getting married. Discuss.
