Scott Hall shoot interview. this has got to be one of the best shoots I've seen. Hall is completely open and honest about a number of things. damn good interview.

positive comments about hogan?!?

this must be a work.




...but that aside...

it really was a good interview. hall always seemed like sucha cool guy, i liked his perspective on everything. ...though i really hated the interview guy. seemed like a douche, like he wasn't even paying attention, just reading off a list of questions. whatever.

the interview itself was great. very candid.

Jake Roberts drunk at the Heroes of Wrestling indy ppv circa 2000.

excellent video tribute to Jakey.

so... how did they actually do that snake biting stuff?

not just, like, getting that on TV, which i can't imagine they could do today but... actually getting the snake to bite, and getting crazy ass macho man to sign up for it? (perhaps that last part answers itself)

going off of what I've read and/or heard about on the Snake dvd, the snake was supposed to only briefly bite Randy and they actually practiced it beforehand (which was something Savage apparently liked to do for his big matches/events).

but when they did the actual bite, the snake wouldn't let go (I think they even edited down what was shown on tv for time). so it was actually biting down on his arm (you can see the blood from where it ripped into his skin). the snake actually died afterwards from a toxic reaction. they say Savage joked afterwards that "the snake got the venom from him." heh.

Y'know, they don't really do the "getting tied in the ropes" bit anymore....

great Mick Foley promos from Raw. these are some of my favorite Foley promos of all time. they really took you into his psyche and gave you insights into his life and persona.

I finally found this, it's about four and a half minutes in. my all time favorite Mick Foley promo EVAR.

aweshome promo......

rare footage of Owen Hart winning the WWF title from Bret. the decision was reversed post-match.

Owen screwed Owen?

he kicked his leg out from under his leg.

That was a classic!

What colliseum special was that from?

I used to love the wrestlefests and supertapes!

I couldn't tell you where it came from, sorry. I found it randomly on youtube. it's got to be sometime from 94, though. but those comp tapes often did have some great, rare stuff. Savage vs. Piper on WrestleFest '90 is a good example.

Grimmus has probably already posted this, but the discussion of the top wrestlers of all time made me think of this:

actually I don't think I had, but I was thinking of adding match clips to that Starrcade thread I did last year.

Diamonds are forever, so is Ric Flair. Thanks for all the memories, Naitch.

The more I see, the more I'm convinced that Flair is the greatest wrestler ever to step up to a mike. I can't be the only person who'd buy a multi-disc DVD compilation of Flair's promos.

now i miss mean (woo! bygod) gene

I miss Woman!

me, too.

I'd like to wrassle with Hilary. She'd probaly win though.

Yeah, Hillary would give you an ass whooping, Georgie. But, Ron Paul would trounce all of you.

you people do know that Wrestling is fake right retards?

TNA has so much good talent that they should be dwarfing the WWE right now. But they're not, and I don't think they'll ever come close sadly.

When I heard the comment that Vince McMahon told RVD about "teaching the fans to chant ECW", I truly believe he has that kind of power after Raw this past Monday. When John Cena mentioned the "fire Regal" chant.... what did the crowd do? They automatically did just what he said.

So yes, I do believe that it's true and the WWE hardcore fans can be programmed right down to a freakin' "T". Which brings me to my point... when TNA has that kind of power over fans, then they'll have something.



WWE is going to always have that audience participation / sheep kind of crowd. They know their audience and they know how to work them accordingly.

TNA's problem is that they haven't made a concerted effort to establish a set fanbase. One week they want to be "sports entertainment", the next week they're pure wrestling, the next week they're garbage wrestling and spot fests, the next week it's a 2-hour variety show...

The shows also come off as clusterfucks from one week to the next with storylines and angles dropped and started for no reason. It's almost like they wake up with a blank slate and start over from week to week. I mean how many #1 contenders matches can you have week after week on Impact and the PPV's before someone who actually won one of those matches finally gets the said title shot?

Heyman touched on this a few months ago. They've been around for five years now and they still don't know what they want to be. They haven't made any effort to take a direction and go with it. And until they do that, they're just going to be a program that draws in the occasional fan here and there to see what's going on, but won't hook them.


Santino as Roddy Piper was fucking great.

REGAL'S SUSPENSION RAISES QUESTIONS

By: Bryan Alvarez
The Fight Network
bryanalvarez@f4wonline.com

I'm back! And how strange is it that the last column I wrote was about how awesome it was that William Regal won King of the Ring. Here we are just a few weeks later and Regal has been slapped with a 60-day drug-related suspension, which brings up further questions about the WWE Wellness Policy.

While we do not know what Regal was suspended for, we do have a few clues. We know he had major problems with recreational drugs earlier in his career and was ultimately sent to rehab by World Wrestling Entertainment, a move that he has said over and over again saved his life. We know that he has long since claimed to be clean. Of course, the term "clean" in the pro wrestling industry is funny, as Eddy Guerrero was considered "clean" when he died despite the fact that he was still taking steroids, growth hormone and prescription narcotics. We also know that, according to Sports Illustrated, William Regal made online purchase of the steroids stanozolol, somatropin, genotropin and anastrozole between November 2004 and November 2006.

The belief among some in WWE is that Regal didn't fall off the wagon and go back to recreational drugs, but that he likely began taking steroids again somewhat recently. One theory is that it was suggested to him (not by anyone in power at WWE, but perhaps by another wrestler) that he get back on the gas since he'd won the King of the Ring tournament and was subsequently being pushed as an active wrestler and not just a suited-up GM. Regal doesn't have the ripped bodybuilder look that many people associate with steroid use, but he also didn't have that look when he was buying steroids online.

If Regal failed for steroids, which seems most likely, it sure does say some interesting things about the Wellness Policy, particularly with the bodies that were on display in the main event. JBL is probably clean given his physique, but rumors have swirled forever about HHH, John Cena and Randy Orton. Cena, of course, has always insisted that he's steroid free, although the fact that he tore his pec off the bone (a common steroid injury) and was able to return approximately four months later (which is nearly impossible without the help of steroids) doesn't exactly help a lot of people take his word for it. HHH, like Cena, has never failed a drug test, but he's the biggest and the most ripped that he's been in years, and as Lance Storm has noted, holding onto your physique as you reach 40 isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world, and Lance lives at home and can watch his diet perfectly. HHH is on the road several days per week and somehow manages to maintain a tremendous amount of muscle with very low bodyfat, and if you remember his physique from about two years ago, he looks better right now at 38 than he did at 35 and 36.

And then there's Randy Orton. Orton is on at least his second strike, and depending upon what you count as a strike some would say his third or fourth. He's had the most dramatic recent transformation of anyone, going from a guy who looked like a skinny high school basketball player in late 2007 to a guy who just a few months later is ripped to shreds with a six-pack and more muscle than he's had in years. And, strangely enough, several years back, from September 2004 to February 2007, in fact, Sports Illustrated discovered that he had been ordering steroids online -- somatropin, nandrolone, and stanozolol to be exact.

I don't have proof, but there is some strong circumstantial evidence that at least one, and perhaps several, of the main eventers on Raw Monday night were on steroids. And even if all of them were clean, only the most naïve fan would believe that everyone that worked the show Monday night was clean. Yet somehow, only William Regal got suspended. This is not to say that Regal should have been spared; rather, the question is how he managed to get nabbed and so many others did not, or more precisely, why we continue to see mid- and upper-midcarders suspended for failing tests, but it never seems to happen with, as Hunter himself called them, the "tippy-top guys", who strangely enough have the best physiques of all.

Except during the December to Dismember PPV, when the fans in attendance started a "TNA" chant, or did Vince train them for that, too?

Yeah, but who got the bigger buy rates?
I'm sure Vince was cryin all the way to the bank!

Actually, December to Dismember was one of the lowest selling PPVs of all time. You'd have to go all the way back to the dark days of the mid-90's to find worse PPV numbers.

you mean 1994-1995 when Big Sexy the quad snapper Kevin Nash was the lowest drawing champion of all time?

From wikipedia

Ah, yes, who can forget his program with King Mabel? No, seriously, because I've been trying to.

whoever come up with this gimmick and this costume needs to be shot...



at least he's wearing a shirt there.. unlike his later gimmick Big vis...



seriously.. someone needs to buy this man a bra.

Still more than the five people who paid for the last TNA PPV!

Snarf thought he had finally seen a woman nekkid.
You have just ruined his fantasy!

there's only one good gimmick in Tna and it's

What were the last TNA buyrates and live gate sales?

What's that? Nothing to back up your argument that TNA's ppvs have collectively done worse than December to Dismember?















I win! By default, granted, but I win!

Perfect vs. Santana, IC tourney finals, spring 1990

You mean the fact that Impact is only doing the same figures as ECW (the lowest rated WWE show) isnt proof enough for you that TNA still is not doing as good as WWE?

Oh, and just to clarify things!
I bet WWE is crying about their "poor" buyrate, cause TNA is doing soooooo much better!


I find it funny that most of those PPVs are merely WWE/WCW main eventers!

Man, MNTV's show schedule really reveals a lot about how far wrestling has fallen in the past seven years or so.

Fucking beautifully done!

That is fucking awesome.

please WWE just say no to goldberg.. we never need to see him agian.

Link.

very nicely done. but. . .he'll be back.

his last retirement was ten years ago when he had his retirement match for his Texas Wrestling Academy group. that lasted about a year and a half or so as he returned to the E in '02.

I think his last retirement match was genuine as well, when you consider his injury. It was only advances in medical procedures that allowed his return (his gap in his WWE career was far bigger than 1 year, thats for sure)

I actually dont see him coming back as a regular wrestler, but I can certainly see him making appearances some way down the line, in a non wrestling capacity (maybe something like general manager of Raw), and maybe the odd in ring appearance like Steamboat did last year.

I think the big difference between Michaels and most other retirees is that he has been wanting to retire for the past few years and has constantly been talked out of it.
