Schlomey's Wrestling Thread aka My Attempt To Legitimize The Wrestling Forums
 

For most of 2012 I have complained that the Wrestling Forum has gone down hill. So far down, in fact, that I have kept a running count of reasons why I should stop venturing into it at all.

Well now it is 2013 and Schlomey is no longer sitting back and letting those trampoline fedders and newbie "Cena should turn heel" assholes ruin this place for him.

Post in here if you are fed up with the lack of quality provided in the wrestling forums BUT be warned that you will be getting gunned down by my brothers in black if you post ridiculous tirades.

Next order of business: Who wants to join this new world organization? You think you have the right to wear the black bandanna? We will see.....



My first step in legitimizing the Wrestling Forums is to continue my video series, for those of you who can't read or don't know how to use YouTube, go shoot yourself...but first watch the links provided.

Loved the LHW division in 2001, Jerry Lynn, Essa Rios, Jeff Hardy, Malenko, Crash Holly etc were tearing it up on Heat every week. On a par w/ the WCW cruisers in their prime IMO.

The LHW division in 2001 eludes me. I was "on break" from wrestling at the time. Slowly over the years I have caught matches from that period. Most of them had Kurt Angle or Chris Benoit in the main event role which I find unusual from where I had left off.

Malenko in WCW was easily top 5 all time favorite but I can't remember even 1 match he was in in WWE.

Maybe that is where I should go next on my list....

Dean vs. Scotty 2-Hotty Backlash 2000 easily his best WWF/E match.

Adding this now to watch later. The quality appears to be quite bad, however. Thank you.

This is a good idea and you have my full support.

I don't like starting threads but I"m hoping to garner the support of the best members of this community to post POSITIVE and THOUGHT PROVOKING threads on our clubs behalf.


2013 will be the year of intelligence, reasoning and understanding in the wrestling forum.

With my brothers at my side there will be no trampoline federation large enough to stop us.

Down with trampolines!

Then back up again.

Then down with trampolines!

Then back up again

Then down with trampolines, ripping through it, breaking both legs, because the kid weighs 375 pounds

very nice :y:

I feel like owenbrown wrote that first post out for you.

Strike 1 Tazzy D

I've been following the following DDP has going on with getting old wrasslers back in shape and off drugs and booze.

So far Jake the Snake and Scott Hall.

I fail to see how Bobby Jaggers factors into this

Consider Bobby Jaggers the dark match to a much more important concept main event.

Hey, does anybody think the WWE should cut out the kiddie crap and go back to PG-13 and end this PG garbage.

I am all for helping legitimize the wrestling forum if you will have me Mr. Schlomey

Really looking forward to Raw tonight, hope it does not let me down. (And by that I mean I hope Punk does not lose)

I know you are just being Gertner but I will swerve this into an actual conversation.


My wife who is NOT a wrestling fan but does watch with me on occasion to appease me had a conversation while watching some wrestling the other night.

First we watched a few CM Punk matches from his Blu Ray. No issue.
Then we watched a Royal Rumble from the Attitude Era. Some sexual references and a lot of language.
She got really confused by that.

We both came to the conclusion that cussing and excess blood does NOT help nor make wrestling better. It has it's place and can enhance matches on occasion but over saturation of anything dulls the product. I found myself getting embarrassed by the language and perverse nature of the Attitude Era product. It was awesome when potty words were cool when I was a teenager but now I find it crass and totally unnecessary.

Lack of blood and language has, in some ways, helped the product become MORE mainstream but more importantly makes the wrestlers work harder to tell a great story.

Everyone will have an opinion on the matter I just wanted to share a persons point of view that has not been tainted by years of fandom and more importantly years of being a jaded message board attendee.

New topic. Do you prefer wrestling or rasslin?

Define rasslin

that's just crazy enough to save pro wrestling!

Been saying that for years. I don't miss blood and foul language, really.

I just miss engaging plots and wrestlers I gave a shit about.

Fuck yea and cena should turn heel

I like this new guy.

Hey, anybody think CM Punk is a terrible draw? Fucking vanilla midget.

punk is a whiny bitch

Punk draws me in. Since I'm not an analyst I'd say that's good enough.

Remember when the Godfather went away for a while and then came back and the announcers were like "Godfather opened his own escort service. He's gone legitimate!" like that was somehow an extra layer to his character.

Your thread title reminded me of that.

As for a Cena heel turn: if it happens it happens. He will never wrestle the style that I really enjoy on more than a casual basis so it really wouldn't change how I view his work.

Also, how bout the effin Godfather man? Brother never wrestled a 3 star match in his life but always found a way to get work and get pushed.

I turned legit without leaving....granted I'm not getting laid much. :|

How about that Goodfather. He was like the Godfather only he didn't participate in unsavoury activities.

Yawn. Gertner for dinner again!?

The man committed. Whether it was a voodoo priest, an MMA fighter, a black militant, a pimp, a reformed pimp, or an unreformed pimp, Charles Wright sold his character. Whatever he was doing, you believed it.

Dear Everyone,


This is they type of response this thread deserves. :y:
it doesn't hurt that I completely agree.
He was never a favorite but damn that guy was always a solid company man.
Papa Shango scared the fuck out of me as a kid.

You know who else was solid?

Bastion fucking Booger. He had a workrate of 8.37

You know who I remember? Tiger Cheung Lee. Man was Asian ya know.

Schlomey Lesnar.

You know who else I remember: Tom Brandi. Guy used to be Salvatore Sincere ya know.

The American Dream Schlomey Rhodes just attacked Gertner with....with...he..he he got a bicycle!
