DomDom Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 That would be Natalya. This Sunday is the second PPV in a row I've been at fever pitch excitement for. Purely for one reason. Chris Jericho vs. Ricky Steamboat. This is going to go one of three ways. 1) They're going to keep the match at about 10 minutes or less and let Steamboat just do what he's been doing recently. I don't mind them doing this as it's a safe option and allows a hell of a send off for Steamboat. 2) They're going to go about 20 minutes and Steamboat won't be able to go the pace, meaning that the match will fall flat on it's face. 3) They're going to go about 20 minutes and both men are going to produce an absolute scorcher. The reason I'm so excited is incase #3 happens. Ricky Steamboat was the greatest non active wrestler of all time before this all happened. 2nd greatest of all time behind the still going and still awesome Kenta Kobashi. Chris Jericho is definately something very special, so imagine just how good this can be if Steamboat has, as the fans say "still got it". If this goes 20, and Steamboat can go the distance, this will be one of the greatest matches of all time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Why, in a tag-team match, do the wrestlers on the apron, both hold on to a white piece of string beside the turnbuckle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toma_BullyWee Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Why, in a tag-team match, do the wrestlers on the apron, both hold on to a white piece of string beside the turnbuckle? Tag rope. As far as I'm aware you need to be holding onto the rope as you're tagged for it to be legal. I could be wrong though. I also thought that disappeared a few years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Stu Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Why, in a tag-team match, do the wrestlers on the apron, both hold on to a white piece of string beside the turnbuckle? I wondered this as well. Excellent question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It was to make sure the guy on the apron stayed in the corner. If he strayed too far from the corner, he'd have to let go of the rope, and then tagging him would be illegal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Just watching through Fully Loaded 2000 and got to the Val Venis vs Rikishi Steel Cage Match. Is it wrong that I marked out when the Phat man done the big splash from the top of the cage? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 No it's not. The last two matches on that show though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishyTON Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 No it's not.The last two matches on that show though. Indeed, H v Jericho Last Man Standing and Rock v Benoit for the belt were both many buys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*PeTeH-FiFeR* Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Does anyone else hate watching Batista wrestle, as he cant ?! Yeah hes a beast of a man and that alone should put him around the number one contendership most of the time but his matches are total crap. Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton are the best Entertainers, Santino is class on the mic, and the WWE have to bring back Kurt Angle, as hes the best performer of all time along side Shawn Michaels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Vince won't bring Angle back to WWE. If it ever got to the point that Angle was in the same shape as he was in the end of his WWE stint, he wouldn't take time off. Vince is quite right not to want to see someone die on his shift, so wouldn't take Angle back if you paid him. Since when did being a great wrestler ever matter anyways ? Some of the biggest matches in wrestling history have included mediocre - shite wrestlers. I have to disagree with Randy Orton being one of the most entertaining. He certainly has something about him, but he still isn't quite there. The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, Evan Bourne, John Morrison are all ahead of him and that's just off the top of my head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince is quite right not to want to see someone die on his shift, so wouldn't take Angle back if you paid him. Eh ?! think you need to watch some of Angles interviews. Vince was willing to release Kurt Angle without pay and wanted to see him return after 6 months of rest, not knowing that Angle already wanted to go to TNA under better personal terms. Angle was Vince's biggest money maker in the WWE, and Angle was pissed of the fact that Shawn Michaels was getting paid a part of his wages through the 4 years that he was injurned and Vince wasnt willing to give Angle time of with Pay. Angle has refused to never say never about the WWE again but is happier than hes ever been under TNA, better the fact that they are looking to give WWE a run for there money in the near future as ratings are picking up greatly since Angle went to TNA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said being a great wrestler really matters, infact i said he will always be around the number 1 contendership, i only stated that i cant watch a Batista match really as i dont like them that much ...... not that hard to understand to be honest. And i agree that Jericho,Bourne and Morrison are good entertainers also, Mysterio is going downhill and his matches seem to be very repetative and Undertaker also is a good entertainer but nowhere near as entertaining as Shawn Michaels. Randy Orton is the next HUGE thing even though he is big at the moment, hes only gonna get better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart. Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I wouldn't think Angle was anywhere near Vince's biggest money maker, someone more knowledgeable may correct may soon though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was close to being the biggest draw at a couple of points in his stint - but there was always at least one or two ahead of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Kurt Angle near the end was around the time of John Cena, who has been Vince's biggest money maker since he hit the main event scene, but Kurt Angle was definately up there with him and hanging on. The only problem was that he was in major danger of injuring himself beyond repair and Vinny didn't want that. So he offered him time off which he never wanted and so Angle went bye bye. Angle has always said that he wanted a lighter schedule, when in truth, WWE did everything in their power to help the guy. That's why he'd never be back in a WWE ring. He's just too much of a liability. If it wasn't for that, Kurt Angle would still be in WWE and still main eventing practically every PPV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you that John Cena was always up there, as was Kurt Angle. Both of them were fighting at the top most weeks for top spot in the buisness. So it was practically they 2 for a while, on ability it was Kurt Angle who was top of the tree in the WWE. But for being a good guy and all the littles kiddies loving him, Cena was also up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*PeTeH-FiFeR* Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) Kurt Angle near the end was around the time of John Cena, who has been Vince's biggest money maker since he hit the main event scene, but Kurt Angle was definately up there with him and hanging on. The only problem was that he was in major danger of injuring himself beyond repair and Vinny didn't want that. So he offered him time off which he never wanted and so Angle went bye bye. Sorry but i aint heard anything about Angle not wanting time off, what ive heard is a complete switch from that, in that he needed time off and he was trying to get his appearences to a minimum.
