Currently reading this book (about halfway through). I highly recommend it. Same writer. Same general theme.

The guy's single in the back looks like the one I wore in kids fed. wrestling. OCWC in the house.

Poor Rob, sounds like his favorite took his ball and went home today.

I don't like the way Rick used to talk to Miss Elizabeth.

Yeah. What a baby he is. Not thrilled about it at all. Whatever, though, maybe this will accelerate the Roman Reigns push.

How sure are we this isn't a work? This could easily be a Vince creation.

remember when tugboat and typhoon's finishing move was to run off the ropes a couple times and then just sit on their opponent? and that sumo guy yokozuna would do the same but off the bottom turnbuckle (sp?)? I mean, yeah, these guys are fat but that cushiony weight can be endured for a minute or so can't it?

how about reversing the figure 4 leglock by flipping over? does it actually turn the pain in the other direction like flashing a mirror at medusa?

better manager:

bobby "the brain" (would always point at his brain when he outsmarted someone and by outsmarted I mean cheated his rough ridin' face off)

jimmy "mouth of the south" hart (was he a hart like brett hart and those guys? don't remember. used to crank people over the head with that megaphone on the reg, tho)

steve dave · « **Reply #135 on:** January 29, 2014, 01:42:06 PM »

a wrestling manager is essentially a license to cheat. total bullshit. and million dollar man had a "body guard". you are a wrestler, that doesn't even make any rough ridin' sense!

Akeem always looks like he's stifling a laugh in these, like "holy crap, I'm wearing a mockery of an african costume and fist-bumping a pimp caricature."

I don't think they are that smart. Would be a great work, tho.

So what are we thinking for a Wrestlemania 30 card?

I'm guessing this:

Bautista vs Orton for the title
Daniel Bryan vs HHH
Dean Ambrose vs Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins (Ladder match? Would be sweet)
Brock Lesner vs Undertaker
Cena (accompanied by Hulk Hogan) vs Bray Wyatt
Gold dust vs Cody Rhodes (Woof)
Some stupid Alberto Del Rio Match.

That card doesn't do that much for me, really. I mean, it will still be awesome but isn't WM 30 supposed to be huge? We need CM Punk back.

But whatever. I'll be there anyway. I got some sweet 6th row tickets through Yahoo. Anybody else going? The marriage of Wrestlemania and New Orleans is too awesome to pass up.

undertaker can't lose right.. I mean, right!?

ChiComCat · « **Reply #147 on:** February 17, 2014, 09:25:11 AM »

How much do tickets to wrestlemania cost? I haven't watched in at least 15 years, but it could be fun. Also, good to see that Gold Dust is back.

They're pretty expensive. I got mine for free through work, but seats in my section are going for 750 bucks on Stubhub right now. I think you can in the building for, like, $50. But that's in the top deck of the Superdome.

Not to Lesner.

I'd be ok with them jobbing him to Daniel Bryan or some other young-ish guy that will be around for a while. But if he does end up against Lesner, there's no way WWF would be dumb enough to have him lose.
