Random Wrasslin' thoughts.....

gimmick

So this is a thread for your musings which do not deserve an entire thread of its own.

For example

I just watched Card Subject To Change. Horrific to think that since its been made the following has happened -

Kamala has become an amputee

Sensational Sherrie, Paul Bearer and Trent Acid are dead

Had Kevin Sullivan and Nancy stayed together one of Wrestlings darkest moments would be completely different or never would have happened.

Lacey Von Erich almost became a diva. She is also crazy hot. Pure nom.

I also mused that even while Sherri was a dispicable heel while she was on tv she may well have been my first celeb crush.

All this in one lazy evening.

I'm pleasantly surprised with Vince for not cutting AJ's run short and having him job to HHH or the likes over and over again till brand AJ was worthless.

I would never have guessed when he arrived that he would turn into the Face that Runs the Place or be heading to what looks like a Mania match with Taker.

As much as most of us bitch at Vince and his booking team they have done a phenomenal job booking AJ.

Honestly I prefer the previous design of the IC title. Maybe because it's the one I most remember and associate with the belt.

Why does the US title say "WOW"?

I believe that says WCW, just whatever way the font is makes it look like WOW

Hell no, pre-spinner belt for me, the current one is an eyesore, there should be a bit of class in being Champion. Back when titles meant something instead of being passed around like a hot potatoe.

Well in the old days a wrestler not only was the world champion but acted like a world champ. I mean ric flair, nick bockwinkle, Harley race. They looked the part.

Well was the one I've posted basically an updated version of the winged eagle belt that Bret and Shawn had ? They kind of filled in the wings of the eagle into a round circle.

Well the universal title is basically the WWE championship just in red though so I take you aren't a fan of the current WWE title belt.

That's another thing, the WCW us champion was called a heavyweight wrestling champion just like the IC belt is but WWE won't say what's on the belt.

The NWA worlds title belt known as the globed dome belt.its a nice belt and has the lineage of the NWA whereas the big gold belt is more or less a WCW thing(or at least most closely associated with WCW)

The classic WWF Championship design was beautiful, compared to the gaudy looking WWE Universal Championship, which looks like it was designed by a child.

I agree about the big cold belt looking like a world title. It's just a beautiful belt.

WWF world title. I loved this belt design.

WCW us title

I always find it funny how most falls count anywhere matches finish in the ring.
Was Crush/Randy the only time they had a match where the opponent was pinned outside the ring and had a certain amount of time to make it back to the ring? Think Randy won by tying Crush in a chain

Random thought, WCWs US title belt was gorgeous

Myself and one of my friends were discussing belts that we loved the look of, and both of us still think that the Big Gold Belt is one of the best looking belts there's ever been, though both of us also have a soft spot for the Undisputed/WWE belt that came before the WWE spinner belt.

Big Gold just looks so prestigious. Its what every World Title should aspire to look like. Yea the Undisputed Title was a beauty too. I think the World Tag Team Titles from the initial brand split were great too, they were the Raw Brand titles so think Regal & Storm, Jericho & Christian, Goldust & Booker T.

I did not realize that Aj Styles is so small (5ft 11) but he is an amazing worker

Not sure would a Styles vs Undertaker programme work because of the height differences between the 2 men but if Rey Mysterio faced taker before than its possible

Im only 5ft 7 so i cant be talking about height lol

I actually quite like big man/small man matches with the smaller guy as the heel! They have to get creative with cheating to stay on top and I think WWE will give AJ a fair shake at a competitive match against Taker, even if he doesn't go over.

Only thing is it doesn't make sense now, storyline-wise, with Taker's threat a few weeks ago. He should be mad at Ambrose, not Styles, after Survivor Series and SmackDown won anyway. So his promo counts for nothing essentially.

Isn't a hardcore match falls count anywhere? Also, ladder matches and TLC matches are very similar but when they started the only weapon I remember being used in a ladder match was the ladder, so it did make the TLC match seem different when they started

Off the top of my head, tables were heavily featured in the Hardys vs Dudleys vs Edge and Christian Triangle Ladder match from WM2000 and chairs were heavily used in the Jericho vs Benoit ladder match from Royal Rumble 2001.

I'm not sure if hardcore follows the same rules as falls count anywhere, it's possible. I know when the hardcore title was around falls counted anywhere, but I dunno if that was just how the matches were, or if that was because of the 24/7 rule.

I suppose the only real difference between ladder and TLC is technically one lets you use chairs and stuff because nobody can actually stop you, while the other one actively encourages you to use them.

It's sort of like how there's no difference between a street fight, hardcore, no-DQ, and No Holds Barred matches.

Said this on the TLC thread after Castor Troy brought the point up. There's literally no difference between a TLC match and a ladder match. You can use tables and chairs in regular ladder matches too. I've maintained that to be eligible to grab the belt you should first have to hit your opponent with a chair and also put him through a table.

It's sort of like how there's no difference between a street fight, hardcore, no-DQ, and No Holds Barred matches. Though I do love when wrestlers show up for street fight matches in their regular clothes, like Punk vs Jericho a few years ago.

I think in the games though with a TLC match you won by pin or submission (or at least that's how it used to be, dunno if they changed it since I last played one)
