And pretty hardcore, even by today's standards

Continental was more redneck even than Mid Southern, huh?

I love the old GMC parked behind the backdrop. Those old TV studio shows were great.

The most notorious real life badass to grace the squared circle. Stories of his legend range from putting Jimmy Jack Funk's eye out, biting noses off in bar brawls, fighting eight police officers, and keeping his job in late WCW solely because no one had the balls to fire him.

Jimmy Jack Funk was the brother of Love Machine Art Barr. Most famous for teaming with Eddie Guerrero and being managed by Tonya Harding. They did a hair match in TJ or Los Angeles against Rey, Jr. and some other Mexican. Fantastic match.

Well, aparently Mr. Funk said/did the wrong thing to Mr. Fifita somewhere down the line. I also hear that Rick Rude and Paul Orndorff were also total badasses in real life.

Orndorff seemed like a major asshole.

I heard he's a pretty right on guy. Total redneck who didn't take shit from anyone. He beat the living hell out of somebody in the lockerroom once. Vader maybe? I'll find the story.

Yeah it was vader.

Vader was/ is a legit badass. Loved to shoot.

Watching the greatest rivalries on netflix. Flair/Steamboat and Raven/Dreamer better be on here or I call bullshit. Regardless, I got a sweet sig from it.

Wow. Abdullah The Butcher and Bruiser Brody, color me impressed this thing may be legit after all.

Mankind and the undertaker? Come the fuck on. This is greatest rivalries not greatest matches.

Their feud in WCCW made mer the Abby mark I am today.

I never saw the Dominic story. I remember him in a shoot video. He was maybe 6 or 7 and Rey, Jr. was in charge of him at the house. There's debate over whether or not Rey, Jr. asked the kid the kid to hand him a bong.

Vader like to work stiff/careless, but I don't think Orndorff was the only one to beat him down in a locker room.

One armed Orndorff beating him down and stomping him w/ flip flops on. I think Vader say he was scared to fight back cause Orndorff was part of the office.

They say Rude was a tough guy, no stories like Meng though. I do like what he told Kevin Nash about wives and the biddness, "Never take your wife on the pirate ship."

If Rude didn't have that back injury, could you have imagined him in WWE mid 90's? I think Hogan woulda pushed him out of WCW, like he did the other B+ talent that was looking to take the next step.

I'm pretty sure I read that Rude was an arm wrestling legend and a hell of a bouncer before entering the business. There is a story out there about Rude fucking The Ultimate Warriors shit up with open hand slaps backstage.

"F ACTS: After Rude graduated high school he began working as a bouncer in the sleaziest, nastiest, toughest establishments in the twin cities-Minneapolis. He quickly became known as being extremely tough as one night Rude had a dislocated elbow and his left arm had to be put in a sling. Rude being the tough guy he was, still showed up for work that night and had an encounter with a pro bodybuilder who shall remain unnamed as he was causing considerable trouble. No other bouncer did anything about it except for Rude who used his one good arm and open-hand slapped the man who was knocked out cold. It was really only a matter of time before Rude broke into the world of wrestling.

In 1982, he became a jobber under his given name, Ricky Rood and fittingly his moniker was “the toughest bouncer in Minneapolis”. His arm wrestling days shone through nicely in wrestling as he demonstrated that the Road Warrior Animal could not even budge Rude’s arm despite using both of his arms. One night in 1988, when Randy 'Macho Man' Savage who at the time was the top man in the WWF (now WWE) decided to go out to this one particular rough bar where all the NWA guys used to hang out. Savage enlisted the services of Rick Rude and Dynamite Kid who acted as his 'informal' bodyguards. With these two men to watch his back, there were no problems that night. Rude’s open-handed slap became legendary in itself as many stories emerged of him knocking out his fellow wrestler’s in real locker room fights. The 400-pounder P.N. News was knocked out with just one slap, tough guy Paul Orndorff (a pretty tough guy himself who kicked the ass of Big Van Vader backstage and bitten off the ear off Tony Atlas in a street fight) hit the ground hard and even the legend himself the Ultimate Warrior faced Rude’s disciplinary actions. During one particular wrestling match with the Warrior the pace of the match was slow as he was sore and stiff. After the match Rude told him he needed to pick up his game but the Warrior contested and said he could do whatever he want. Unfortunately, he too was knocked out by the Rude’s one arm slap.

In 1998, while partying at the hotel bar with all the NWO crew. Kevin Nash made a remark that pissed off Rude. The two men ended up getting into a heated argument. In his hotel room Rude offered Nash to settle this dispute with a good old fashioned fist fight. Nash backed down and subsequently checked into a different hotel the following night."

Rude was part of that Road Warriors, Krusher Kruschev/Smash wrestling school where they were all power lifter bad asses.

You can say whatever you want about Kevin Nash, but the dude is smart. He knows when to hold em and when to fold em.

If I had spent the first twenty years or so of my life going through winter in Minneapolis I would have probably knocked out a few people too.

Kevin Nash is a fucking overrated tool. One of the smarter guys in the business, tho.

You'd be there if she tongued your chili spout.

HA! Michael Hayes was suspended for offering Rosa Mendes a drink after she just got back from rehab.

Extreme Rising is trying a second go of it in December. They are going to be taping for a TV show that is alleged to be running in the Philly, buck county area, as well as South Jersey and Delaware.

Best post in this whole thread ^

Old video from Beulah McGillicuty's porn shoot. Quality is poor.



http://www.youporn.com/watch/617620/daydreaming-with-beulah/

Chris Hero fired, rumor has it for not being "ripped" enough. What a load of fucking shit.

Yeah, I heard that. Wasn't he the one who didn't want to do drills at the training center, or was that someone else? Plus HHH was quoted as feeling that they have enough "indy" guys. Wants more Rybacks and cookie cutter juice heads I guess.

Also, they just put an HR guy in charge of Talent Relations. Dude has no wrestling experience other than being an office boy for WWE. And I thought the step down from Jim Ross to Johnny Ace was bad.

Seems like HHH is taking wrestling into the worst combinations of Russoism and Vinces muscle fetishism....Sad to think a guy like Foley probably wouldn't even get his foot in the door in today's atmosphere.

Ya know, I had hope for Trevor Murdoch, as a slobber knocker, but they took the first chance they could to ditch him.

Then you get a guy like Ted DiBiase Jr, that they just let go. He had it all. The breeding, the size, the skill. He got hurt, was ready to come back and it was "we don't have anything for ya." Yeah, cause creative aint worth its weight in shit. Blame Steph.

Maybe we'll get lucky and Levesque will pull a Benoit. Is that too bad of taste even for here? Ah fuck it.

Some of the stories about Maurice Vachon are up there.

agreed. i have no idea who the players are or why it happened and i'm more than happy to keep it that way.








i'll preface this question by saying i watch zero wrestling but i love this thread.

so does the behind the scenes administrative shit actually happen or is that all part of the work too?.

As far as office hirings and firings, yeah, that is real. They just shit canned 2 of the people closest to HHH. Either someone told him he was wrong about something, or they are trying to suppress the leaks they have.

Who is the GM of what show, that is BS.

I think HHH is actually the COO, or some such title, and Steph is actually either the head of Creative or the department that Creative is run by. Vince took over as CEO when his wife stepped down to run for office.

Fuck John Cena - I couldn't buy the Jolly Rancher sodas [Cherry and Blueberry] because of his promo ass on the ground floor of Kmart yesterday.

Planning on a fun N fruity enema?

RFVideo is having their 40% off Black Friday sale for those interested. The shipping isn't too speedy, but it is good value for shoots you haven't been able to find online.

lol ill pretend u said 18

Kelly Kelly from her new calendar

It seems I was IP blocked on LordsOfPain. I wonder if it was for my comments there or for cutting and pasting their articles, which are 90% cut and paste jobs to begin with.

Throwin up the pirate signal to light up the XPT sky. Where are you Barry? This town needs a hero.

Jeff Jarrett and Toby Keith are said to be working on something, possibly a promotion. TNA is just about dead. They can't even tape shows at Universal. Styles is out. They are trying to sell, but all they have is a time slot, which Spike is allegedly going to bid on Smackdown to fill when WWE's TV deal is up soon.

Wow. I haven't watched any wrasslin since July (not including old school youtube stuffs). Had no clue TNA was in such turmoil.

And folks say Hogan can't wrestle

I remember the Crockett clip, and even at my young age, I knew Crockett sucked as an announcer and wished Nikita put him out permanently.

That is pretty amazing. Japanese crowd, he probably had to put effort in.

The crowd was fucking hilarious. Love how they popped for Hogan and waved American flags around. It's like "sure, you completely incinerated every last bit of my grandparents down to the fucking sub-atomic particles leaving absolutely no trace of their human existence on this Earth in your attempt to nuke our country into the 17th century, but that's alright because WRESTLING DANGEROUS!!!!!!!"

And just for the fuck of it, here's some Special Delivery Jones:

PWInsider has confirmed reports that negotiations are ongoing between Sting and WWE. Word is that a decision must be made within the next 2 weeks on whether or not Sting is going to join the company.

Several factors are being worked out right now including scheduling and what Sting is and isn't willing to do creatively. This does not mean Sting is definitely coming to WWE and he could very well work another year with TNA but the impression has been given that Sting realizes if he's going to have a run with WWE, this is the time.

The impression was also given, within WWE, that there will not be a match against The Undertaker, at least at this year's WrestleMania event. However, the idea of Sting debuting at WrestleMania XXX with some kind of cameo or vignette has been discussed.

There's also a feeling that Sting is the face of WCW and with WWE promoting a lot of WCW content on the Network, he could be an asset there. Sting is considered a fresh, unique face when they are used to using people like Ric Flair and Diamond Dallas Page to promote their WCW projects.

While it was believed on Monday that no deal had been signed yet, RF Video's Rob Feinstein noted on Facebook this morning that he heard Sting signed a deal with WWE in the last 24 hours, for what it's worth.
