Koko78 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Saw an article today about how the WWE wants to make Money in the Bank part of their 'Big 5' PPV events. Could be interesting, so long as they don't try to pull some stupidity like having 4 MITB matches. I can't imagine a scenario where the crowd is still entertained by the time the 4th ladder match is going. Would be fun to just have the men's and women's matches, with the winner able to cash in on either show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FappyTheClown Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Vader was my fav big guy wrassler. Sucks that HBK bullied and made him cry IRL in WWE. Should have had the belt there as well. Edited June 22, 2018 by FappyTheClown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The only top world title that Vader never won was the WWE's top prize, and he was in fact scheduled to win that title in 1996 before Shawn Michaels put a stop to it. The plan was for Vader to defeat Michaels for the title at Survivor Series '96 at Madison Square Garden and go on to lose it back to HBK at the 1997 Royal Rumble in San Antonio, Shawn's hometown. Instead, Michaels decided he didn't want to work the program with Vader and the spot was given to Psycho Sid. Vader worked against Michaels at SummerSlam that year instead, a very good match (complete with a vintage Michaels' tempter tantrum) that showed the pair could have (and should have) had more great matches down the line."Source: http://popculture.com/wwe/2018/06/23/vader-greatest-super-heavyweight/#2 Edited June 23, 2018 by Golden Goat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he has turned his life around now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he has turned his life around now. Very much so. By many accounts, Triple H was a choir boy, and Michaels was anything but. A lot of Trips rubbed off on Michaels through the years. Absent of that friendship, even Michaels admits he might not have turned his life around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FappyTheClown Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 RIP Matt Capotelli. He was from the Rochester area and seemed like a really good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Brown Eye Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 ^^ He was a phenominal guy. Grew up right down the road from me. Knew the family. My social media is covered with people talking about how he changed their lives. He would always help those in need or the less fortunate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Jerk Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Broke dude's neck. Just pick a finisher that's easy for everyone. How about a Stunner or Hogan leg-drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's all about shocking the crowd. If you dont have the charisma or have won the crowd over to be a huge fan favorite like Hogan or Austin, you cant get away with having a finisher that is nothing more then a move someone might do during a regular match. Even Macho Mans elbow drop finisher is something no one would find impressive during a match anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Macho was still alive and doing the elbow people would still love it. 2 hours ago, Bray Wyatt said: I believe the stunner ended up hurting austins back and spine from landing on it repeatedly all the time Probably, but so would taking regular back bumps and slams. And come to find out that wasn't even his finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more of the compressing of the spine instead of hitting flat like a slam etc. so when he would drop down on his butt, the spine would compress etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have also been to help the other person take the fall instead of bending forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koko78 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Didn't help Austin's spine when Owen Hart broke his neck with a botched piledriver. I really hope that Japanese dude turns out alright. That bump was nasty, but I would hope that it's a good sign that he was able to move his arms and grasp his head/neck after landing.
