Pro Wrestling thread

Seems that both he and his girlfriend were arrested for allegedly assaulting the other, and it's difficult to determine who's telling the truth. He was fired from WWE for this charge.
 
Ah wow. Thats.....becoming less and less surprising to hear from WWE actually : / But geeesh, what a bummer. Would not have guessed he had such a life outside the show.
 
The part about pushing Warrior being a failure compared to Sting's success is especially true because Sting was known as a great and loyal worker, while Warrior was a massive diva. A lot of the people he's worked with will attest to that. I've heard Ted DiBiase in particular express discontent for Warrior.
 
I had not heard that about Warrior actually, wow. That kinda bites. They both started their careers off as a tag team together, though. I wonder what Sting thinks about him? I remember WCW having Warrior in and having a feud with Hollywood Hogan, I think it just kinda died out and Warrior just vanished forever. Wonder what all happened with that?
 
Ive always pointed out the Thunder/ Smackdown gimmick, actually : p Like, they even stole the color themes for it, Raw/Nitro being red and Smackdown/Thunder being blue : p I mean yeah Raw was on before Nitro, but Thunder definitely took use of the red/blue color theme.
 
Would be fun to talk about WCW gimmicks taken from WWE. I dont really know WWE as well, though : p Did they take anything from WWE? (Besides talent?)
 
Don't like how people compare Goldberg with Ryback, even with this " feed me more " stuff. Ryback is just so bland as the video states he's basically just Diet Goldberg, Goldberg at least was entertaining and had some technical matches. Definitely think the nWo is probably one of the greatest faction in wrestling history. It had a great tie in of good guys that don't act like good guys. Always favorite is my man Scott Hall! Hey Yo! Guy had charisma and was pretty funny on the mic even with how he sounded.
 
Haha, yeah I always thought Ryback was a bland Goldberg : p I guess that Goldberg's "whos next?" catchphrase was made up in a restaurant, and apparently Ryback says his "feed me more" also was : p I would agree that Goldberg was more fun to watch, though.

And yeah, everyone calls Vince the most influential person in wrestling, but I think Eric Bischoff is MUCH more influential than WWE and ECW nerds are willing to admit. He came up with alot of awesome ideas that are still big today, including wrestlings biggest and most successful storyline ever, the nwo. I dont like it when WWE puts DX on that level, they were not as close to being as big and exciting as the nwo : p

Its not that I hate Vince or WWE or any of that, but these days everyone has this belief that WCW was some badly run company that got by on a rich guys money and gave nothing to pro wrestling. It was a huge and influential company that totally earned its place in history.

And haha, I also really liked Scott Hall in WCW, I think hes underrated actually. I love his "hey, yo", haha. He was awesome, he should have had a run as world champion. As much as I liked Hollywood Hogan as a heel character, it was definitely Nash and Hall that made nwo what it was.

Actually yes really like Scott Hall myself as well hah, he's a funny guy and I kind of want to be like him. Just reckless and funny, he was certainly a fun to see in the ring as both a persona and a wrestler. Yes actually I haven't known much about who Erich Bischoff was or is until the video, yeah I think one of the biggest problems with just fans in general is when stuff gets divided, especially with this WWF/E vsWCW stuff. I mean both had their qualities that landed them in wrestling history it's better to acknowledge both parts as you said.

Pretty interesting didn't think warrior would get as much hate as I've heard lately similar to the hulkster. Wonder if there is an interview with DiBiase talking about this issue somewhere.
 
It's quite well known that Warrior was quite selfish. He once threatened to no show an event unless Vince paid him more for the event and some other demands. Vince agreed to pay him more then immediately fired him after the event.

Yeah, I like being able to enjoy both promotions : p I may have my preferences but that doesnt mean I hate the other, I like them both. Would be cool if we still had WCW, though.
