WTF is going on in this gif? Don't see him getting pushed in the way. Appears Saturn just decided to deck him for no reason. Knowing Saturn, this is a possibility.![]()
Nick F'n Patrick, though. Trained as a wrestler, still took bumps like this. Awesome.

Saturn went for a dropkick in the corner and Raven got out of the way a little early. Although if you believe Saturn (and I do), Raven and Saturn were tripping on ecstasy every single time they wrestled each other. Which makes the legitimately amazing match they had at Fall Brawl 1998 all the more incredible.WTF is going on in this gif? Don't see him getting pushed in the way.

Watching AJ in New Japan I became a fan. The guy can pretty much do it all. Brawl, fly and his mike skills aren't great but I think he is getting better all the time.This on AJ. I remember years ago, when I worked my first TNA house show, AJ was on the card, and was the first talent in the building that day. As soon as the ring was up, he was in it running his spots for his match.
Al Snow was the agent for the show, and he had Al come over and work with him a while. After he left the ring, he still stayed and watched as others ran through their spots and was learning from them.
During the show, he sat next to me at the tech booth and watched all the matches and was paying attention to crowd reactions and what got fans excited. Dude just busted his *** the entire day, and I got the feeling he did the same thing every day.
He caught an 80-yard touchdown pass that he threw. Steve Jordan of the Vikings was there to vouch for it.I hear Mr Perfect was good at a lot of different sports.
We once saw a quarterback sack himself.We won't get to see that in football this year unless Josh Dobbs does it to Kentucky.
Adrian Peterson (ACL)Damn, BKH. Just saw the news about Teddy Bridgewater. Damned Vikings are snakebitten. Feels like every year they have a shot, the football gods snipe their best player.
Add Brett Favre to that list too. Vikings were in contention his last year there had his ankle not exploded too.Adrian Peterson (ACL)
Nerlens Noel (leg explode)
Willie Cauley-Stein (ankle)
Alex Poythress (ACL)
Teddy Bridgewater (ACL)
New York Knickerbockers (brain injury)
Isn't meant to be for some folks. At least my favorite wrestlers aren't getting injured like this.
(watches Halloween Havoc 1996, SummerSlam 1997 and WCW Sin)
dammitall...
ACL + dislocated knee for Teddy. I want to say that's the same level of injury Shaun Livingston had when his knee left his body. Neat.Add Brett Favre to that list too. Vikings were in contention his last year there had his ankle not exploded too.
Is it just ACL with Bridgewater? Was under the impression it could be Lattimore levels of f***ed.

At least when Favre got hurt the team was already terrible and out of contention and he had already embarrassed the franchise with the dick pics and what not.
Tying this all back to wrestling...I've seen Sabu and Austin break their necks and Sid break his leg numerous times. But the two that I'll never go back and watch again are when Eddie Guerrero broke his arm doing the frog splash in 2000 in his first official WWE match, and then the entirety of the Sabu vs. Terry Funk barbed wire match from ECW. That's the grossest match I've ever seen. Sabu got his bicep ripped by the barbed wire and (spoiler) you can see the wire moving around inside his arm. And then they crash through a table at the end and you can see bared wire wrapping around Funk's eyes and neck like a snake. Nope. Never again. ECW of all places never did another barbed wire match again after Sabu vs. Funk.
yeah Angle's wwe theme is awesome, but man the Mr. Perfect one is the GOAT for me
- He was offered 3-years for $1.5 million but wanted all of his travel expenses paid for by WWE.
Shamrock had higher potential than Severn due to charisma, although Severn was probably a better shooter. Neither really grasped pro wrestling. Shamrock used to snap off that hurricanrana in his matches and spike his head every time.If Severn could have spoken like a pro wrestler he would have been awesome. O, and not done Brawl For All then backed out. That too.
He and Shamrock both got screwed/messed up themselves a lot, as they should have been bigger than they were. Bret vs Shamrock is still a feud that I wish had happened
They gotta pay their own health insurance too. Charles Robinson was talking about that when we were discussing Roman Roids and he was telling me how the testing worked. Said that in most every case, you were paying out of pocket to be tested because insurance doesn't cover.I find it hard to believe that WWE talent still has to pay for their travel. If I understand right, WWE pays for their flight to the first city in a set of stops and then their flight home, but nothing in between.
So if you have a house show in Lexington on Friday and are on Smackdown in Miami on Tuesday, you have to pay for the rental car all weekend and your hotel room for each night.
Of course that is why people travel together, to split costs.
But in 2016 a multi-billion dollar company like WWE cannot take care of that for their guys does seem a little unfair.
pretty sure they do that (plus the health ins) to maintain the talent as 'independent contractor' status and not 'employees'. closes off a lot of messy legal stuff, esp considering their industry.But in 2016 a multi-billion dollar company like WWE cannot take care of that for their guys does seem a little unfair.
That's exactly why they do it. Basically everyone is an independent contract worker.pretty sure they do that (plus the health ins) to maintain the talent as 'independent contractor' status and not 'employees'. closes off a lot of messy legal stuff, esp considering their industry.

So yeah, Roidback expects us to believe his Kalisto jobbing *** was going to squash Styles at Mania, be top heel, and do it on a low end contract? 1.5mil for 3 years is .5mil a year. Most mid-carders pull that much, or more.
I'm sorry, but the Roids are making him crazy. Just a matter of time before he murders his family and leaves bibles next to them.
I don't know what he was popped for. I just don't like him and Roman Roids stuck with me.Wasn't Reigns popped for Adderall?
So was this a quote they pulled off of this week's Talking Smack or something? Article read like a quote they pulled directly off WWE programming. If so, still buying this is a worked shoot.Well this was an interesting read...I think NJPW would sign him in about 5 seconds if he called.
