In the early 2010's he was probably the nearest to a return of Curt Hennig.

Stupid shite wwe name aside (why do they so often insist on lumping talent with such shite names?) he was someone i always rated - a good worker, always happy to put people over and technically very sound. Sound on the mic too.

 

Decent career but on the whole probably slightly wasted despite a couple of world title reigns and a few intercontinental ones.

I miss the 90's wrestling.

That said Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and the four pillars plus one or two others were light years ahead of anything then.

I would often watch and get invested in his matches. I can remember it boiling my piss how they had him lose the title to Del Rio.

Don't follow it at all these days but the Danielson/ziggler were some of the last truly great matches I remember.

I stopped watching in 2000 but remember being told about the Undertaker Shawn Michaels match at WM25 when I finally got round to watching it, it was just kicking out of finishers.

Del Rio was shite.

The period between Hall turning up on Nitro and delivering the 'you wanna war' promo upto maybe mid 99 or so was for me wrestlings high peak.

Wrestlers on Netflix is worth a watch. Follows a tour by OVW led by an aging Al Snow as they try to battle bankruptcy by getting investment from some people outside the business. 

 

Really interesting watch.

Shame we never got a conclusion, but it was magic TV:

I was watching the dark side of the ring episode on Vince’s steroid trial from the 90s and it had a great exchange in it:

 

Lawyer 1: Do you have any animosity towards Vince McMahon?

Nailz : No.

Lawyer 2: He doesn’t understand what animosity means.

Lawyer 1: Do you hate Vince McMahon?

Nailz: Yes.

Some fella called Gunther is apparently upset with Bret Hart.

I watched one of his matches and it was more akin to synchronised swimming than actual wrestling.

I brought my little lad to Belfast this year for his 6th birthday. Got tickets right at the barrier at the walk in ramp. It was quality.

 

Seth Rollins and The Miz were battling it out right in front of him. He got high 5s from Rollins, Belair, Otis, Bobby Lashley and a few more. He got a selfie with Cody Rhodes.

 

I'm not sure whether to bring him again as it set a bloody high bar and he will probably think that's what it will be like again. 

[Byrnie]

Can someone explain to me how to upload photos please?

Two questions:

 

1) How long were people singing Seth Rollins entrance music for?

 

2) Did your boy try and get Cody’s belt?

If it’s from your phone:

 

As your posting, you get “add files” and “other media” above submit reply.

Then hit “add files”, you get “Photo library” take photo, then choose. Pick “photo library”

 I don't get the add files option on Android. 

Just other media and the options are insert existing attachment and insert image from URL.

 

Pain in the arse!!

I think it was 12 minutes for the Rollins music. 

 

He gave it away right before he got to my lad. But he came over and jumped up on the barrier right in front of him on his entrance. He was mesmerised (my lad, not Cody). Cody stayed after his match and went around to sign and give selfie for a good 40 mins. I asked my lad did he want something signed, he wanted to try for a selfie instead so he was buzzing.

 

 

The Judgement Day were brilliant. I love them.

Haha, 12 minutes. YNWA on a European Semi gets about 5.

 

Did you join in for all of it?

 

The Judgement Day are class. I assume Dom Mysterio got booed out of the building? Did Finn get cheered as a hometown boy?

 

Rhea Rhipley in leather is a sight to see. Your lad old enough to cotton onto you staring at her?

Rhea Ripley bloody terrifies me mate.

 

Dom and Priest got booed big time. But that was just right at the start of hoe Dom gets booed now.

 

Finn, you could see he was torn. He got a mixed reception but he stayed in character, just about. 

 

Kevin, I joined in for all of it. I got involved in the show from start to finish. I loved it.

Fair play, I get winded after 5 minutes of singing.

 

Did Gunther wrestle on the card? He’s my favourite active wrestler and he fucking lays the chops/kicks in.

 

If you’re not man enough for Rhea, who were you slyly perving on?

 

Last question - was the singing of Cody’s song louder than the actual audio? When they were at the 02, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen that happen.

Yeah, parts of Cody's song took the roof off. It's easy to see why he's so popular. He makes the effort with the fans.

 

The missus was with me as well, so the sly perving was limited haha. Bianca Belair and Damage Control were there!!

 

Gunter wasn't on the card. I'll tell you who was and is a scary looking mf, Dexter Lumus.
