Re: WWE Off-Topic

Watching the first episode of the "Who Killed WCW" on Vice, Nash was talking about how Rey wanted him to throw him through the glass window of that trailer he was thrown into. Nash said no, that would kill him if he did it.


That episode of Nitro aired July 26th, 1996, Dom was born in April 1997. So even before Dom was born, Rey was already trying to get out of being a father. "Yo Kev, in case my son grows up to be a terrible person, dates a gothic girl who convinces him to leave me for her cult group. Can you kill me now by throwing me through a window? Thanks."

Darkly humorous. [emoji1][emoji1][emoji1][emoji50]

9 months before Dom was born to be more specific.....Rey tried taking himself out the exact moment he realized he messed up.


Funny comment from The Rock promoting the show:
To me, it was never a question of WHO killed WCW, but rather WHAT killed WCW.

Meanwhile, the show is called Who Killed WCW

Stuff like this is fun when you mesh real life and kayfabe together.

WWEs new HQ is opening up next month. Guess that'll really help them usher in a new era within the offices.

Ironically, Vince had a big part in planning the new HQ and will never be allowed to step foot inside. Obviously for the best. New HQ won't have the stench of knowing Vince probably did some things with people in various spots within the building over the decades.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Lots of rumors regarding WWE talents and their contracts expiring.

All these suddenly happening after that other guy got let go, although re-signings have happened since he got let go too.

I just wonder where these leaks are coming from. Surely it's the agents of the talent just tipping off the dirtsheets about it (like who would honestly tell the dirt sheets that Angel and Humbertos deals expire in a few months other than their own agents trying to draw up buzz for them and/or trying to get other promotions to draw up interest to raise WWEs price to keep them).

Starting to feel a lot like sports where "player X rumored to be interested in A,B,C for price D." when clearly the source is their agent.

Can't you subscribe to A&E and/or Vice separately?
I'm not sure how any of that works since I still have cable in my house. [emoji28]

Pro: Vice uploaded the first episode of Who Killed WCW? to their YouTube.
Con: I don't see them uploading the other episodes, so I guess this is more of a tease than anything else.

A&E's account has random full episodes of WWE stuff too. Might be worth checking out when you're bored.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

It's also fairly easy to find full episodes online. Wrestling typically has more people who upload shows online than any other show/genre.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Seems like

Spoiler

Ricochet

could be leaving WWE once their contract expires.

I'm a bit surprised given they're obviously in a good position off screen at least (pay wise and relationship/travel wise) but could see why they'd want more on screen and more opportunities.

Their only options are go to AEW, be seen as a "big name" free agent followed by getting lost in their deep roster and ending up in the same spot they were in WWE six months later. Go to TNA, have a better opportunity to grow with much more room on the roster. Also they could still work with WWE if the relationship between them continues to grow.

AEW would just be another high flying athletic guy in a roster filled with high flying athletic guys.

TNA would be another option, but don't see the money being there. How often in the last decade do people leave WWE on their own terms to go to TNA? Usually it's the ones fired who do.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Random facts I just learned.

Gunther is the longest reigning IC champ in WWE history. I don't mean his single title reign being the longest, that's obvious. I mean he's held the title more days in his one reign than any champ has COMBINED in all their reigns.

Surprised that as many reigns as Jericho had, he still doesn't have his combined reign lasting over a year.

Also, the IC title wasn't so much a title that was created, it was a unified title (storyline wise, which was still a cool way to rebrand a title). Pat Patterson combined the WWF North American Championship (a short lived title I never knew existed either) with some random South American title he allegedly won.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Alba competing at Clash just got that much more important and really sad at the same time.

Her mom was visiting her last month and she got hit by a car and died.

Now Alba this weekend returns to Scotland (I'd imagine she might have been there for the funeral) competing infront of her friends and family, but her mom won't be there.

Undertaker revealed he found out while filming the bone yard match that his brother died, but he still went through with the match. That and Bryan's dad dying right before WM are the few moments I can think of where family died right before one of the biggest moments in someone's career.

Can't imagine how much harder it'd be for Alba to compete specifically in her home not having her mom there. Maybe she was even gonna tell her mom during that visit that she's gonna be on the Clash card.
