baseball terminology with WWE wrestling

Recommended Posts

Guest Trivia247

I don't know if this works here but what the hell. We have heard the last time Hogan came back that he was the babe ruth of Wrestling. and sure he is, Babe Ruth was still worked even after his phyiscal career as a baseball player ended, they still dragged him out to wave his hat and hit a slow ball for the delight of the faithful, and once again we see this happening with Hogan again and his one more match..

 

Now what other Baseball sayings could you equate with current or recently past WWE wrestlers?

 

 

Babe Ruth = Hogan

Explained above

 

Ty Cobb = HHH

Absolutely totally hated despised and wished dead by both rival ball club fans and his own team's fanbase. But he was so damn good as a ballplayer you just couldn't stand it. HHH is one of the best out there both in character and in the staying power of a active wrestler, but his character's obnoxiousness in acknowledging how good he is adds to the heelness that people gravitate too.

 

 

 

continue the list..

Did Ty Cobb ever fuck the manager's daughter to stay on the team?

Chris Benoit = Randy Johnson

 

Always phenominal, getting old and grizzled, always seen as a "cool" player on a ship that wasn't going anywhere (Seattle Mariners/WCW)...

 

and finally won the Big One alongside an equally talented partner! (Eddie/Benoit walk out of WM 20 with World Titles, Schilling/Johnson walk out of World Series 01 with titles)

 

And now is solidified on the big show... (Raw Main Events, Yankees)

Jim Ross has stated that Ric Flair is the Mickey Mantle of wrestling

Flair has the drinking and womanizing down but as far as I know his knees are in good shape.

 

If Flair is anybody, he is Nolan Ryan or Roger Clemens, old guys who kept on going successfully.

Thats mostly cuz JR is a hardcore mick fan, being from Oklahoma and all.

 

Benoit=Red Sox, coming close so many times never winning the big one, then finally does, in dramatic fashion

 

 

and I think Trips would still be the top guy, even if he didnt get with Steph, remember Vince loves big muscular guys.

I know.

And HHH=Yankees, they both represent all that is evil in their businesses.

Probably, he most likely would not be married to her if they didn't push him to the moon with her. He would not however have as much power as he does now had he not married Steph.

When Chris Benoit becomes the main focus of Raw..than go ahead and compare him to the Red Sox.

Jackie Robinson = British Bulldog

Did Davey Boy break barrior for British wrestlers in WWF?

 

I don't get the correlation.

 

Ron Simmons=Robinson in WCW and I suppose Rock would be WWF's equivilent.

As a baseball fan, I am disgusted at the comparison of Ty Cobb and HHH.

 

Cobb is one of the best ever, HHH is garbage compared to Cobb.
