Now I remember where else I heard it referred to as the Hollycaust: Over the Edge 1999 against AL Snow

Almost as great as naming your finisher after the date rape drug.

this amused me.


Lance Von Erich accidentally gives a peck on the neck to a male fan at 24 seconds in as he makes his way down the row of females for hugs and kisses. male fan quite enjoyed it as he is seen celebrating when the camera pans down.

Hearing Bob Holly in shoots always amazes me. For some reason I don’t expect him to have as much “personality.” There’s more Big Shot in him than Hardcore.

A potential legal bombshell could be on its way and cause huge headaches for the WWE.

They are not the one involved in the lawsuit but it does target the legal status of an "independent contractor" when used by companies who don't allow all the legal rights associated with independent contractors and purposely avoid following all labor laws and regulations associated with employees.

In the past, whenever someone seriously threatened to challenge this in court in regards to the no compete clause, WWE caved in every time to their demands.

If I remember correctly, WWE flirted with a union forming in the 80s or early 90s till Hogan snitched and managed to derail the whole process.

Quote:

What could be a major game changer story for UFC, and inevitably if it is in UFC, will be with WWE, is that Leslie Smith’s filing of a complaint to the National Labor Relations Board may also include a ruling as to whether UFC fighters are employees or independent contractors.

The board, as part of its ruling on her complaint, would have to make a determination which category fighters fit into. The NLRB can’t go to bat or rule in cases involving independent contractors. Smith is claiming that UFC violated federal law that protects employees who engage in union activities by the nature of releasing her.

UFC used a sleight of hand as they never released her, as her contract expired and they opted not to sign her to a new contract even though she’s won her past two fights and her third fight saw her opponent miss weight and she didn’t fight. She was also ranked No. 9 in her weight class at the time they opted to not offer her a new deal and she was known for having exciting fights.

It’s not a secret why she was let go. But the NLRB can’t rule on it if she’s an independent contractor, meaning that ruling will be sped up.

If that ruling comes down that fighters are employees, that will almost inevitably carry over to WWE, which has far more control over its performances and over careers than UFC does

Hmmm that makes sense... I saw that PPV.

Trying to find audio of it but I only found the spanish version and they don't say that.... They do call the Funnel Cake powder sugar "cocaine" though after AL snow hits Holly with it.

Watching NXT from this week. I'm a big Lars Sullivan fan. He's a "traditional heel," as weird as that seems. He's not trying to be cool or anything - he's just beating people up. It's great.

screech 05-18-2018 05:43 PM

Also I'm in love with Cathy Kelley

Cool theme for Mauro.

I haven't been watching NXT. Good for Mauro to get a theme, but is it weird for me to ask why? I guess JR used Boomer Sooner and all that, but is Mauro going to be making an entrance anytime soon?

No, I'm wondering why also.

Mr. Nerfect 05-19-2018 03:07 AM

I just watched the SmackDown clip of Bryan destroying Cass. Holy shit, Cass is ATROCIOUS. I never used to have it in for him or anything, and quite liked some of his mic work in NXT, but here he was just awful. A weird inflection, weird delivery, a terrible script doesn't help, stumbling over lines, clearly nervous -- you can sense when he decides "it's time to perform this thing I rehearsed to try and look like I'm good on the mic." Goddamn, I don't want enough WWE to be conditioned for this shit, haha.

He did a decent job selling Bryan's attack on the leg, but everything else was pure dog turd.

screech 05-19-2018 07:38 AM

His turn wasn't bad, but the ensuing feud with Enzo/Big Show was awful. I think he's been garbage on his own, really. He needs someone with him to hide how uncomfortable he is/seems.

So for some reason I'm a glutton for punishment, can't get over my WCW nostalgia, event when it's shit. However the one thing that I hate the very most about the end of WCW is simply Mark fucking Madden. He is so horrible, every chance he get's he's ripping of Joey styles or making an allusion to something that happened in WWF or ECW. He was the worst.

Not all that surprising given the look of his torso.

He has a weird build. Reminds me of Josh Barnett. Pure function and no dieting lol

He always struck me as very clumsy and awkward. Could never get into him because of it.

Swagger looks like he was fully engaged in a feast at catering before being suddenly told on the spot to go out and do some rasslin.

#1-norm-fan 05-20-2018 01:31 AM

He's got that old school fat southern brute heel body. Could have worked it into his gimmick. What a waste.

He should never wear trunks.

Swagger wrestling in anything but a singlet just looks wrong.

Cool King 05-20-2018 09:56 AM

That was also during the time the WWE were trying to push "WWE FanNation" as a term for their fans before going with "WWE Universe".

Cool King 05-20-2018 09:57 AM

Imagine if "WWE FanNation" stuck.

I don't think a "WWE FanNational Championship" would have even lasted a day.

Bad News Gertner 05-20-2018 10:49 AM

My gf went to her mom's for a few hours so I decided to look around on youtube for some stuff to watch, and I came across 20 WWE Heat shows from 2002 where it's only wrestling, no recap shit. I spent the entire time she was gone as well as all morning smoking weed and watching these videos.

I'm a very productive person.

Stacey Keibler and Test. Testicles lol. Stacey looking anorexic by the way. Currently dancing in the ring. So hott. Interupted by Justin Credible Haha.

Bad News Gertner 05-20-2018 10:55 AM

Test wins with his bad ass Big Boot.

Steven Richards vs Johnny the Bull Stamboli. Lol its so bad but I can't stop watching

Evil Vito 05-20-2018 11:00 AM

I would say that roughly 75% of my fantasies in 2002 involved Stacy Keibler or Trish Stratus.....very often both :naughty:
