NAME THAT WRESTLER!

[Arnold HamNegger]

Shannon Moore?

[Arnold HamNegger]

Chris Candido?

[ddpBANG]

10 wrong guesses and no new clue?

[Crippla]

Benoit and Bruschi don't deserve to be a part of such bullshit.

CC, who the fuck is running the thread right now? I refrain from bashing you, I never have given you shit but the annoyance is starting to show to me.
Read the thread you prick. Terran is giving clues but since I know the answer and can't guess, he is letting me do it while he's not here.

[Crippla]

I'll leave it up to Terran to give you a new clue though since I wouldn't wanna give it away.

[TerranRich]

Okay, new clue:

1. Has wrestled for every single one of the "Big Four" US promotions (WCW, WWE, ECW, and TNA)
2. Has had only one title from a major promotion (and held it twice)
3. Has a family relationship with another wrestler, though they aren't technically related
4. The title from the major promotion that this wrestler won is no longer active
5. Doesn't like fake animals very much

I see this is another good wrestler I picked. ;)

[James Steele]

Brad Armstrong?

[TerranRich]

Nope. Nice to see you here btw Sr. Steele

[TerranRich]

7 more guesses until another clue also

[The Fugitive]

When you say a major title, you mean a world championship, correct?

[ddpBANG]

He didn't say major title, he said major promotion.

[The Fugitive]

Yeah, I just noticed. I was kinda hoping I could have removed my post before anyone else did.

[TerranRich]

If you read the clues, the exact text is "title from a major promotion", which means just that. Any championship belt from a major promotion (e.g. WWE or ECW).

[TerranRich]

Heh, no such luck. I refresh this thread like every 5 minutes. ;)

DAMN FIREFOX 2.0 AND ITS ALT-S SHORTCUT! :rant:

[The Fugitive]

Hell, I'll take a shot in the dark and say Hootandtoot Guerrera.

[TerranRich]

Nope, not him. (6 left)

[The Fugitive]

Rick Steiner?

[TerranRich]

Nope

[The Fugitive]

Was Jimmy Snuka guessed?

[TerranRich]

I don't believe so. Wrong either way. 4 more.

[weather vane]

Psychosis

[James Steele]

Jim Neidhart

[The Fugitive]

Ricky Morton?

[TerranRich]

No, no, and no. 1 more.

[The Fugitive]

Shane Douglas?

[KingofOldSchool]

Jake Roberts

[TerranRich]

Nope!

Next clue:

1. Has wrestled for every single one of the "Big Four" US promotions (WCW, WWE, ECW, and TNA)
2. Has had only one title from a major promotion (and held it twice)
3. Has a family relationship with another wrestler, though they aren't technically related
4. The title from the major promotion that this wrestler won is no longer active
5. Doesn't like fake animals very much
6. Born in England

:)

[TerranRich]

Not Jake Roberts either.

[Xero]

Crash Holly?

[The Fugitive]

Norman Smiley?

[James Steele]

Dynamite Kid

[The Fugitive]

Was Dynamite even able to walk when when TNA first started?

[Xero]

LOL, double edits...

[James Steele]

Oh shit, I forgot TNA was involved. I just saw "Born In England" in bold and typed what popped in my head

[KingofOldSchool]

Norman Smiley?

That's the only one I can think of that fits that criteria.

[KingofOldSchool]

Wait Norman never wrestled for the E I believe.

[The Fugitive]

He's wrestled tryout matches for the E.

[James Steele]

KENNY DYKSTRA?

[The Fugitive]

Giant Haystacks?

[James Steele]

Smiley only held the WCW Hardcore title once, not twice.

[Crippla]

Fug is right, it's Smiley since Terran already told me and said I could do this while he's not here. So your go Fugitive.

[The Fugitive]

Son of a bitch, Terran's offline.

[Crippla]

Smiley only held the WCW Hardcore title once, not twice.
I thought that too but apparently he held it twice according to wikipedia.

[James Steele]

Damn it, I have no idea...


Chris Adams?

[James Steele]

ok

[KingofOldSchool]

Norman was never officially in ECW or WWE.

[The Fugitive]

The hell it's my go, I only stayed here this long was because I was so curious who this mystery wrestler was. I'm out of here.

Next person to post gets to pick a wrestler.

[KingofOldSchool]

Yay

[James Steele]

ALRIGHTY THEN!

[James Steele]

SON OF A BITCH

[Crippla]

Norman was never officially in ECW or WWE.
Yes but he still wrestled for them which was the clue.

[KingofOldSchool]

http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/pictures/08/wwalucha.jpg

[KingofOldSchool]

Yes but he still wrestled for them which was the clue.

But when did he though?

Unless he has proof, then it's not really a good clue.

I could say that Sting worked for WWE in 1986 because he worked a house show against Outback Jack.

[James Steele]

Give us the clue to your next wrestler, holmes.

[The Fugitive]

Too slow. :)

[James Steele]

That's why I use OWW. They have way too much shit on there but it helps in this kinda thing.

[Crippla]

Smiley worked in ECW in 1995 and has worked dark/tryout matches for WWE. I'll let Terran explain this when he comes back on but someone else give new clues for now.

[Crippla]

That's why I use OWW. They have way too much shit on there but it helps in this kinda thing.
Yeah me too, this wasn't my clue, Terran just told me. I think he uses wikipedia which can be inaccurate though.

[KingofOldSchool]

Okay...3 clues

1. Was a multi-time champion in the NWA.

2. Teamed with Andre The Giant in his early days.

3. First name is Paul.

[TerranRich]

Sorry.

"In 1995 and 1996, he briefly competed in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion."

and

"...and then had several tryout matches with World Wrestling Entertainment in 2003 and 2004."

and according to OWW: "June 21, 2004 - RAW: Chuck Palumbo defeated Norman Smiley (tryout) in a DARK MATCH.."

According to TV.com: "He worked in ECW in 1995 & 1996 & then went to WCW in 1997."

And according to IMDb.com: "ECW: Hardcore TV - Mental! (2003) (V) .... Himself"

I'm just going by all the several sources out there.

2. Held the WCW Hardcore Title twice
3. He is the Godfather to Vampiro's son in real life
4. WCW HC Title is now defunct, obviously
5. Destroyed Chavo's horse Pepe in an angle in WCW
6. Born in Northampton, England.

Whoever is supposed to go, can go. I'm taking off for the day, and possibly for a while. Happy Holidays!

[Crippla]

See ya.

[James Steele]

Paul Orndorff

[KingofOldSchool]

No.

[James Steele]

Paul Roma

[KingofOldSchool]

No.

[Jeritron]

Paul Jones

[Crippla]

Just realized James Steele hit 7000 posts and I'm not sure who else fits besides Orndorff.

[KingofOldSchool]

No for Paul Jones.

Two more guesses and I'll give another clue.

[Jeritron]

Paul Mooney, Paul Reiser. next clue

[KingofOldSchool]

Nice try, two more SERIOUS answers.

[Jeritron]

Damn, I just looked at the scores and I've really fallen off. Mostly due to laziness and not bein around but theres been some damn hard questions. Me and Dez had a good fued in the early goings but it looks like I'm way back now...

Stumped on this one

[NeanderCarl]

Paul Vachon

[NeanderCarl]

Is Paul his ringname or his real name?

[KingofOldSchool]

Okay...NEW CLUE.

1. Was a multi-time champion in the NWA.

2. Teamed with Andre The Giant in his early days.

3. First name is Paul.

4. Has been a TV and Tag Team champion

[KingofOldSchool]

Is Paul his ringname or his real name?

Real

[ChiefStubbs]

Paul W. Taylor the Third, aka Terrible Terry Taylor.

[TerranRich]

"Number One" Paul Jones

[KingofOldSchool]

Paul W. Taylor the Third, aka Terrible Terry Taylor.

Correct

[ChiefStubbs]

1. Never held any title.
2. Deceased.
3. Took steroids that stunted his growth.

[TerranRich]

Dino Bravo?

[Jeritron]

Dynamite Kid?

[Jeritron]

Doesn't really qualify for the 'never held ANY title' category but whatever

[TerranRich]

Neither does Dino Bravo. Are there any wrestlers that are deceased, took steroids, and never held any titles? I mean, I think every wrestler at some point has held a title.

[The Fugitive]

Dynamite Kid?

Why does everyone think Dynamite's dead? :-\

[ChiefStubbs]

Neither of them.

[TerranRich]

Hercules Hernandez?

[ChiefStubbs]

Nope.

[ChiefStubbs]

I will be out for a while.

[Crippla]

Little Beaver?

[ChiefStubbs]

Nope. One more guess, one more clue.

[Crippla]

I don't know, Junk Yard Dog?

[ChiefStubbs]

Nope. I think next clue might help.
1. Never held any title.
2. Deceased.
3. Took steroids that stunted his growth.
4. Real name is Chris.

[Crippla]

Chris Von Erich.

[TerranRich]

Chri$h Ca$h aka Christopher Bauman

[TerranRich]

Chris Von Erich would've been my guess and it's probably right anyway.

[Crippla]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm right.

[TerranRich]

Dammit Subbs, get back here!

[ChiefStubbs]

Sorry.
Yeah, it's Mr. Von Erich.

[Crippla]

OK, here's my clues...

1. Never held any titles.
2. Tagged with a former WWE Champion.
3. Tagged with a former WCW Champion.

[Crippla]

No guesses?

[Jeritron]

Dennis Rodman

[Crippla]

Nope.

[NeanderCarl]

Is this a trick? Are clues 2 and 3 the same person?

[ddpBANG]

They probably are, Carl.


Eric Angle

[Crippla]

Not Eric Angle. A few more guesses and I'll give a new clue though I might not be on until tonight.

[Crippla]

To answer Carl's question, they could be.

[NeanderCarl]

Jay Leno

[NeanderCarl]

These clues are too vague, the first set of clues should at least narrow the mystery wrestler down to a specific area. This could be anybody, especially the way tag teams are thrown together for one show only nowadays. Do you mean a REAL tag team (as in held titles together, had a team name or a team move etc.) or a makeshift team? Because I don't consider Cena and Batista a tag team, but they have teamed up.

This person could be literally anybody. There must be hundreds who fit that criteria, this is just a pure guessing game now.

Sarge DeWayne Bruce/Buddy Lee Parker?

[Crippla]

They were a real tag team not just a one time thing and I didn't wanna give it away right away. None of the answers are correct so far.

[Crippla]

OK, here's a new clue...

1. Never held any titles.
2. Tagged with a former WWE Champion.
3. Tagged with a former WCW Champion.
4. Didn't wrestle for WWE.

That should narrow it down a lot.

[ddpBANG]

Question: Did the person(s) who won the WWE and WCW titles tag with this person before or after they won their title?

[Crippla]

Before, I'm only giving that info out because people are struggling with this.

[Jeritron]

Dennis Rodman still fits all the clues

[Jeritron]

Tank Abbot

[Crippla]

Nope.

[Watson]

Al Green aka Blade from the MasterBlasters.

[Crippla]

Correct. :y:

[Watson]

Awesome.


1. Has wrestled in WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA, USWA, and SMW.
2. Held titles in all those feds except TNA and USWA.
3. Had serious legitimate heat with Shawn Michaels.

[NeanderCarl]

Chris Candido

[Watson]

Yep. Too easy I know.

[NeanderCarl]

Okay....

1. Wrestled for WCW, ECW and WWE (amongst other companies, of course)
2. Ring name was inspired by a famous tag team
3. Has won seperate tag team championships with two different members of the same family.

[Crippla]

British Bulldog?

[NeanderCarl]

No and no.

Maybe this one is harder than I thought it was then?

[NeanderCarl]

Come on, people! No more guesses? Or is this thread dying a slow death now?

[NeanderCarl]

1. Wrestled for WCW, ECW and WWE (amongst other companies, of course)
2. Ring name was inspired by a famous tag team
3. Has won seperate tag team championships with two different members of the same family

1. Wrestled for WCW, ECW and WWE (amongst other companies, of course)
2. Ring name was inspired by a famous tag team
3. Has won seperate tag team championships with two different members of the same family
4. Has been a member of two racially motivated stables

[Xero]

[NeanderCarl]

Tracy Smothers

:y:

1. Wrestled for WCW, ECW and WWE
2. Named after the Brisco Brothers (real names Freddie Joe and Floyd Brisco). His WWF name in 1996 was Freddie Joe Floyd.
3. Has won seperate tag team championships with two of the James brothers: Steve Armstrong and 'Road Dogg' Jesse James Armstrong

[Skippord]

Is this world title reign from one of the big four?

Bryan Danielson

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Yes, but that doesn't matter since you got it.

[The Fugitive]

Woot!

2. Currently wrestles in WWE
3. Has wrestled in WCW

[Skippord]

HHH

[The Fugitive]

Nein.

[The Fugitive]

Hmm, didn't realize I was nearing 1000 posts.

I guess it's tradition to make some milestone thread to tell people what I think of them, ya?

[Xero]

King Bookaaahhhh!!!?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I've never done a milestone thread. True Story...

Chris BEnoit.

[The Fugitive]

No and no.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

RVD

[The Fugitive]

Asshole. :(

Blah blah blah, must spread rep, bah bah bah.

Yay!

Hmmmmmm

1.Has been in a famous stable with, and feuded with, a former NWA Heavyweight champion.

2. Former World Heavyweight Champion

3. Made his wrestling debut in 1991.

[NeanderCarl]

Oh, and I don't think Smothers was ever in the Nation.

They had a USWA branch of The Nation of Domination, and Tracy Smothers was a member under the name Shaquile Ali.

[NeanderCarl]

DDP

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Nice. Never knew that about Smothers.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

DDP

Nope..

Nice was in reference to smothers BTW.

[NeanderCarl]

By Heavyweight champion, do you mean as in "World Heavyweight" champion, or just any heavyweight title (Intercontinental, US, TV etc.)

[NeanderCarl]

Buff Bagwell

[Crippla]

Triple H?

[NeanderCarl]

Disco Inferno

[What Would Kevin Do?]

No to all, and yeah, it's technically a "World" Heavyweight championship, but not necesarrly THE World Heavyweight Championship (ala the WWE one)

[Jeritron]

Kevin Nash

[ChiefStubbs]

DDP?

[The Fugitive]

Val Venis.

[Crippla]

Come on, what World Championship did Val ever win?

[The Fugitive]

Ever heard of a little organization called the CMLL?

I don't throw out bullshit guesses, Monica.

[ChiefStubbs]

And you're about four years of debuting off with Val.

[Crippla]

Ever heard of a little organization called the CMLL?

I don't throw out bullshit guesses, Monica.
Yes, I didn't know Venis was champion though. Who is Monica?

[The Fugitive]

If you're going by Wikipedia, it's 1991. If you're going by OWW, it's 1995.

Find out soon enough.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

No to all. I'm going to jet for a bit, so another clue before I go.

5. Has had two major tag team partners. One wrestled in WCW, and one wrestled briefly in ROH.

3. Made his wrestling debut in 1991.

4. Has been in multiple videogames on PS2

5. Has had two major tag team partners. One wrestled in WCW, and one wrestled briefly in ROH.

6. Has some badass/unique hair....

For the sake of a giveaway clue, since no one will ever get this.

7. Was in a branch of the NWO.

[The Fugitive]

Hiroyoshi Tenzan?

[Ben Rodrigues]

Booker T?

[Skippord]

Mike Awesome?

[Ben Rodrigues]

Mike Awesome?

What branch of the nWo was Mike Awesome part of?

[ddpBANG]

What branch of the nWo was Mike Awesome part of?
The Awesome branch.

[Crippla]

This is most likely wrong but is it Masa Chono?

[Crippla]

I'm thinking him or The Great Muta which is my second guess if I can.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Hiroyoshi Tenzan?

Bingo.

1.Has been in a famous stable with, and feuded with, a former NWA Heavyweight champion. Masahiro Chono

2. Former World Heavyweight Champion IWGP World Heavyweight

3. Made his wrestling debut in 1991.

4. Has been in multiple videogames on PS2 KOC 1 and 2, Wrestle Kingdom, ASPW 3, technically FPR and FPZ.

6. Has some badass/unique hair.... Best Mullet Ever

For the sake of a giveaway clue, since no one will ever get this.

7. Was in a branch of the NWO. NWO Japan.

[The Fugitive]

To be fair, not everyone here follows puroresu, so that might be the reason it took so long to guess.

That would be like if I decided to pick Dr Wagner Jr for the next game, it would take about 10 clues before anyone got him because not many people follow lucha libre.

As for my turn, I'm vacating it. Things are too hectic today to monitor a game.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

True, but you could make the same arguement about people from the 70's and 80's

I figured I'd make the clues as narrowing as possible, so if someone actually tried to look it up, they could probably find out.

[NeanderCarl]

Okay, Master Fugi, I'll take your go if you're vacating it....

1. Received training from a famous tag team
2. Once wrestled for the WWF under a Fonz-like, biker gimmick
3. Had a feud with one of his trainers over a midcard championship in the early-mid 90s.

[johnny nintendo]

Is the answer Ghostbusters 2?

[NeanderCarl]

Yes. Yes it is.

Oh wait.... no.

[johnny nintendo]

Seriously I'm taking a guess, is it Kama The Supreme Fighting Machine???

[NeanderCarl]

No, but :rofl: @ Papa Shango in a "Fonz-like gimmick".

[johnny nintendo]

What do u mean fonz like/ biker gimmick? You mean like the guy off happy days? And he drove a motorcycle or he never did drive one??? Heyyyyyyy!?

[NeanderCarl]

Well, he had a biker look, kinda like The Fonz, in leathers etc. Not actually sure if he ever actually rode a bike on camera or even to the ring.

[The Fugitive]

Don't know why, but for some reason, I'm thinking the Honky Tonk Man. :-\

[NeanderCarl]

You know what, I don't think I'm going to be around here much in the next couple of days, so rather than just leave this hanging, I'm going to wave the white flag and let somebody else have a pop.

The answer was Scott Hall. The famous tag team who helped train him are former WWF World Tag Team champions The U.S. Express, Barry Windham and Mike Rotunda, who would later feud with Hall over the Intercontinental championship in 1993/94 under the name Irwin R. Schyster.

And the Fonz-like gimmick he portrayed was "Razor Ramone" (sic), the greasy Ramones-influenced biker persona he portrayed on entering the WWF in mid 1992. I don't believe a Ramone match was ever televised, and he would later undergo an overhaul and become rich Cuban immigrant 'Razor Ramon'.

[Crippla]

K, I'll do one then...

1. Has wrestled under a mask.
2. Wrestled in ECW.
3. Has been a World Champion of a promotion.

[johnny nintendo]

Jerry Lynn?
Mick Foley?
Justin Credible?
Sid Vicious?
Mike Awesome?
Rey Mysterio?

Take your pick

[Crippla]

One guess at a time ffs.

[johnny nintendo]

Mick FOley?

[Crippla]

No.

[ddpBANG]

Mysterio

[Crippla]

Nope.

[Crippla]

Here's another clue...

1. Has wrestled under a mask.
2. Wrestled in ECW.
3. Has been a World Champion of a promotion.
4. Never wrestled in WCW.

[ddpBANG]

Justin Credible

[Crippla]

True.

[ddpBANG]

Does that mean yes, fucktard?

[Crippla]

Yes.

[ddpBANG]

50 pages is a good run, and as much as I'd like to continue playing it just seems pointless now with the total lack of interest in the game from most "former" players. :shrug:

[Legend Killer]

You called him fucktard.

[Crippla]

Well done. You can read his post, Destor.

[addy2hotty]
