Wrestling Moves you busted out In Real Fights
The Amazing Rando replied to I like Forums's topic in General Wrestling
Not in a fight, but me and my friend used to throw each other around on my trampoline (like, if he tried to suplex me i would jump with it so I didn't land on my neck and things like that...we weren't trying to kill each other). So I'm like "let me try this fireman's carry" and basically what i actually was trying to do was a Somoan Drop, as he ran across at me and hopped up enough that i could catch him and fall back, not using much strength but instead his momentum to carry it over... Well...I slipped, and the result was more like a DVD ...crunched him up like an accordian, if I would have sat straight down and not fallen back and onto my side... I might have broke his neck. He got me back a while later by dropkicking me in the chest mid-bounce. I almost fell off the damn trampoline. -
I would also call it force of habit. "Instinct" as it were. The wrestler is conditioned to think PAIN + TAPPING OUT = NO MORE PAIN and thus, it's just an automatic thing. MY Problem comes in how someone like Rock can be put in the Crossface, and not tap right away, but if Rock was to put it on Benoit, Benoit would tap instantly...unless the storyline involves Benoit "knowing his hold SO WELL that he can escape". Same thing for Kurt Angle and a good 75% of the people he's feuded with.

What an oddly kayfabed theory. The wrestlers know who is going to win, so they decide to bring out weaponry just to add to the display. "Hey man, I know I'm going to win tonight, but do you mind if I hit you in the face with this kayak?" "Well sure, only if I can throw this bowling ball into your crotch!"
-
The "wrestlers put them under there" theory just sounds odd. What ring crew member would let someone do that? Are they all on break when they do it? Does the Undertaker turn out all the lights for a few minutes so they can sneak them out there? *Taker lowers his hands* Taker: Everybody...GO! Raven: WOOO! KAYAK! Snow: BOOOOOOOWL! HHH: *Hhhonk*

Show Me a Match You're Inordinately Proud Of.
The Amazing Rando replied to Ace309's topic in Community/General
Of course, for myself it's Clark vs. Thugg FTF 04. The idea for it came from the moment Thugg told me I could write what I wanted. I didn't want Thugg to so much as leave his feet until late in the match (He does end up sitting on a table early on backstage, though). The other thing I wanted was a memorable ending, and the "Chokeslam Escape" sequence around the bus, and well, the entire bus section, still makes me smile. I used to have the link in my sig, so I don't feel like finding it. Through all the stuff I did with the HoT, I felt better about my losing Final JL Match Evah than any of the other stuff I wrote against Landon (Iron Monster included). Season's Grievings was fun though. -
My theory is that, when there's a Hardcore style match set up, ring techs are told to put extra items under the ring before the show. Here's another question...how is it that wrestlers know EXACTLY when to come out from under the ring? but a KAYAK?! Not even Vince McMahon would say "hey, guys, when you are putting that ring up, throw a kayak under there, I want to see the look on Raven's face! Can't put THAT in a shopping cart MOTHERFUCKER!"
-
^I would watch a reality show based on the ring crew, if this was the case. "We are ready for anything!! What is that? Gardening tools? Well shit, we might need to rake some leaves! THROW IT UNDER THERE!"
-
Cause...even though he had failed at winning it about 4 times before that...HE WAS GONNA DO IT THIS TIME
-
A funny bit would be him having a closed chair on his lap the whole night, and having to give it up early in the show, then getting launched later by someone else. How does HHH constantly get a sledgehammer under the ring, or how do any of them guys get any of their special stuff under the ring? What ring crew needs a bowling ball bag, fake trees, stop signs, and the like?

I actually enjoy the previews for Hitchhiker's Guide, and am extremely amped up to see it next friday. Also, on another note, the main writer of "Yes, Dear" graduated from my college, and his advisor was my professor on numerous occasions (same major and such). Apparently the guy is also related to some very famous old-time Mexican actor...but I am too lazy to go on IMDB to look it up right now.

In my dictionary, they are actually referred to as synonyms of each other. Destiny - that of which is irrevocable Fate - a lot fixed without reason

I might be digging myself into a hole, but I guess it goes back to that original question... there has to be one single reason by both actions exist in our culture when they are fundamentally the same.

"The Love Shack" "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" I have no idea why, NO IDEA. I just love doing that little dance to annoy the FUCK out of people.

^ The story you used above was spoken by William H Macy in the film "Northfork", but it does work well. I'm not a religious person much at all (i'm still debating over all of that), but as I sit and think about it, I wonder why we have both wishing and praying to use, and most people do use both. They almost seem to go hand in hand, with the entire "God" piece of the puzzle just sort of THERE to be acknowledged when it is needed. Wishes, in fiction, have been addressed to genies and all other sorts of people and creatures...but if you just out and out wish for something offhandedly...who is there to answer it? God answers prayers...he might say no alot...but he answers. If there is some person or some thing there to answer wishes...how does this person or thing relate to God and religion? If there isn't an answerer, then the entire idea should just be forgotten and we should move on as a society and a culture. Pray for something if you have a God, or just sit there and let things happen as you believe has always happened.
-
But like I said... if you have God in your life, why wish at all? If everything is in God's Plan, a wish and a prayer will get the same answer. And in fact, a wish would be indiginent cause you didn't even bother to petition God for what you wanted, you just threw the request out there. I know some religions do not allow prayer toward God, which is why my current standing on the issue is that wishing is prayer's loophole, so that the wisher doesn't have to reach out to anything specific, but can still let it be known that he or she wants the request to happen.

I would never work at Dairy Queen, and I am trying my best to get the fuck out of the fast food world.

...or a banjo. Definitely a banjo. This has bluegrass written all over it.

Magnolia & Punch-Drunk Love are the two that most people "don't get" but that I love. I need to get Magnolia on DVD....

WWE Uncomfortable with Batista as Champion
The Amazing Rando replied to Dimensions's topic in The WWE Folder
*I* could get over (all 5'10" and 135 lbs of me) as a threat if I got that much TV time. -
Anyone else miss the "good old days" of 2000?
The Amazing Rando replied to Jingus's topic in General Wrestling
I own SSlam 2000 on DVD (mainly for TLC and Shane killing himself) but going back to see the Main Event, which was fine considering Angle's concussion, makes me very sad to see that THAT was how they ended such a great angle. Steph should have ended up with Angle. There should have been no other option. HHH should have lost Steph and his chance at the title, whether Angle or Rock won it. Angle should have AT LEAST came out on top of HHH at that moment. -

He lives in England. Unless you got Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang or that damn Weasley's magic jalopy in your garage, I ain't driving there. All you need is Flubber and a good bounce. -
WWE Uncomfortable with Batista as Champion
The Amazing Rando replied to Dimensions's topic in The WWE Folder
Well you have to wonder, considering Batista has barely been on TV AT ALL since he won the belt. I mean, they must be uncomfortable since the supposed top man in the company gets less TV time than the Hurricane. Just fuck this shit...seriously. If Batista was on TV as champion as much as HHH is now, he'd be doing fine. -
The Autobots had giant robots too... Superion ruled j00. Period. Then again, they also had Computron, which I believe made Grimlock smart....or, Grimlock was made smart and built Computron or something. I need to visit the TF Encyclopedia again.

I will drive to FBOP's house and find out once and for all if he is a Frozen Block of Piss that can type. It wouldn't be weirder than anything else around here. -

The Amazing Rando replied to Dimensions's topic in The WWE Folder
So they want to move the WWE and World Heavyweight Belts to the other brand? I didn't watch Raw, so is the draft scheduled to be after Backlash?
