  8. WCW facts, tidbits, and stuff people forgot

    in General Wrestling

    Posted

    Matt and Trey Parker explained the rules of cursing on TV after they did their episode of South Park where the word "Shit" was said 162 times in 24 minutes.

     

    They said basically, the FCC has no regulation over basic cable, so anyone could do anything they wanted. The only problem is pissing off advertisers, because that's where majority of the money is made.

     

    So, there's no way the government could have come down on Kevin Nash saying "Bullshit" 3 times on Nitro, because they have no control.

  11. Alex Shelley Wants Out Of TNA

    in TNA Wrestling

    Posted

    Alex Shelley wrote on his live journal that he has requested a release from TNA, saying, "Speaking of TNA, I'll have an update on that soon, along with some details of why I'm not there. For everyone that's interested, I asked for my release in early January, but for whatever reason, have yet to recieve it." Shelley will be debuting for ZERO-ONE in March. That promotion has certainly become a safe haven of sorts for TNA talents that are underutilized as Simon Diamond and Sonjay Dutt have done quite well since debuting there.

  12. Frankie Kazarian Leaves TNA

    in TNA Wrestling

    Posted

    Frankie Kazarian gave TNA management notice yesterday at the Impact! tapings that he was finishing with the promotion. According to one source, Kazarian's contract actually expired late last year and he was never asked to sign new paperwork, so he was working without a deal. Kazarian was a former co-holder of the X-Division championship with tag team partner Michael Shane. I don't have any word on how this affects Shane's status with TNA, if at all...

  14. WM21 to be Kurt Angle's Final Match?

    in The WWE Folder

    Posted

    This difference between Shawn Michaels' back and Kurt Angle's neck is that Shawn injured his back in one isolated incident. Before he took that bad bump on the casket at Royal Rumble 1998, Michaels really didn't have any back problems despite the normal aches and pains that come with being a professional wrestler. Angle has had lingering neck problems for the past 9 years. That would be remarkably unhealthy for someone in a non-athletic line of work, and it's compounded even worse considering he's been doing pro wrestling since 1998 and the incredibly high workrate he utilizes.

     

    Michaels had two back surgeries in April and November 1998 and took an unheard of four years off and now he's back as good as ever. I think almost 24 months after, we can deem Angle's 2003 experimental neck surgery a failure because he is not better. That surgery worked for people like Scott Hall and DDP because they don't have the insane work ethic inside the ring that Kurt Angle has (which is probably a credit to their intelligence). The point I'm trying to make is that Angle could not do what HBK did and take however long off to relax because this has been an exponentially growing problem for 9 years. HBK wrestled only one match after his back injury and immediately got it fixed. The situations are completely different. Michaels bounced back because he knew what had to be done and didn't waste anytime. Angle seems to have a fetish for working through pain, and it's ending up to really screw him professionally, but hopefully not personally.

  20. The DDP/Johnny B. Badd feud of 95-96

    in General Wrestling

    Right. The Booty Man basically ended up taking the spot Mero was originally supposed to have, just to finish out the feud.

     

    Luger won the TV title on a house show on 02/17/96 and lost it back to Badd the following night. Luger won it again on 03/06/96 in what was probably Mero's last match with the company.

    I was at the Saturday Night taping where Badd had his last WCW match, jobbing the TV Title to Luger.

     

    We got fucked over hard on that show. They were advertising Ric Flair vs. Sting for the WCW Title in the main event, and instead we got some crappy asshole 8-man tag match and it was like Flair, Arn Anderson, Kevin Sullivan, & Loch Ness vs. Sting, Lex Luger, and The Steiner Brothers.

  21. Who should of won the WWE world title...

    in General Wrestling

    Posted

    Raven was so ready to be WCW Champion in 1998. I really believe he was the big main-event heel that was destined to keep WCW fresh when the nWo angle ran its course. He had the most heel heat of someone not in the nWo (and probably had more heel heat than anyone in the nWo not named Hogan, Hall, or Nash) but someone convinced Bischoff he couldn't draw, brother.
