Lance Storm has answered questions about this on his website before. He said that the majority of moves are known by their English name internationally.
You created a nice punch line for this news bite, but it just wasn't necessary. The news bite itself made me laugh like Hugh Morris.
That is awful. There is probably no wrestler in the history of time, that I dislike more than Ryback.
I detest Bill Goldberg as much as you detest Ryback. Mark for himself with no respect for the business.
I will give credit to Goldberg for one thing. I saw him at Lexington Comic Con last year and he was pretty open about the fact that he didn't know how to wrestle and really had no business being where he was
Goldberg was open about that the whole time. His schtick took off and he was in way over his head. I've admitted to liking people more because of their video game character and Goldberg was one. His video game Arsenal was untouchable!
My FR year at UK and we essentially band anyone from using him.

Yeah, well he ended Bret Hart's career because he was a dumbass in the ring.
RVD is doing the same because he believes his use of weed contributed to his sustained mental health.
Jimmy Garvin being inducted with the Freebirds.
What say ye Wrestling Crew? I never saw Jimmy Jam as a Freebird, more as a friend of the Birds. Freebirds were Hays, Gordy, and Roberts. Yay or nay on Garvin?

Jimmy Garvin with the Freebirds was sort of "Hayes lite"... for whatever Hayes might not have been able to do as a wrestler, he was a heat-generator and perfect face for the trio.
The Hayes/Gordy/Roberts crew were the Freebirds, and I was convinced as a child that they might have killed Ted DiBiase in this match.

I say no to Garvin.
Cornette tells a funny story about Hayes and Garvin not wanting to sell for the Midnight Express and Dr. Death in a six man. It eventually led to Dr. Death shooting pretty hard on him. I'll post the video when I get home from work, or someone can post it; should be easy to find

Jimmy Garvin was a Freebird about as much as Paul Roma was a 4 Horsemen
Guys, I am hoping you can help me find a video. I know it's been posted here before. I can't seem to put the search into words that will help me find it.
The video is a less-than-less-than-average wrestling match, obviously put on by some small struggling start-up wrestling promotion, attended by less than 50 people, but the commentator (surely a later over-dub) calls every crappy move like it's a heavyweight championship match for the ages.
I seem to remember one of the wrestlers having the last name of "Sprules."
Please link if you know it and can find it. TIA.

Cage Tyler was one of the wrestlers - THE BIGGUN IN WIGAN. I'd guarantee BKH knows where it is.
I am fine with Garvin being inducted. Michael Hayes wants him to go in so I am fine with it.
The only incarnation of the Freebirds most of the younger crowd remembers is Hayes and Garvin. There is some World Class stuff on the network but you have to search to find it.
Interesting note, according to the Pwinsider guys, the Hall of Fame will be the first time Garvin has ever appeared at a WWE Event.

If anyone is interested there is a live link to the Hulk Hogan vs. Gawker trial. Yeah I am not that bored.
Raw is in Chicago tonight, think they should leave Reigns out for another week. :sunglasses::sunglasses:

So according to CBS Sports, the Big Boss Man will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year.

I can spell WWE.
I will be inducted into the Hall of Fame eventually.

That is so Memphis. I wonder if the King was part of creative during that time. Also I wonder how many cows had to die for Big Show's leather outfit....
One thing I liked about Jimmy Jam was that he could get into character in a heartbeat. My dad used to work with a guy that was one of the Masked Interns. Ken Ramey was their manager in the Gulas/Jarrett territory (Nashville/Memphis). He brought me backstage at the Fairgrounds once. Jimmy Jam was BSing around with Jackie Fargo behind the curtain...but as soon as his music hit, it was like a light went on. James Williams went from JW to Jimmy Jam Garvin like. that.
Is this stacking up to be the worst (or most uneven) Hall of Fame class ever?
Sting - Icon (but did nothing in WWE)
Freebirds - Legends (but only had a cup of coffee in WWE)
Godfather - Memorable gimmick, but that's it (plus the lame gimmicks)
Big Boss Man - Memorable gimmick, but that's it
Only two of the four ever drew fans. Seriously, the bar is low. At this rate, X-Pac deserves to get in and the Hollys, etc.

I guess it was announced somewhere last night Stan Hansen and Miss Jacqueline will also be inducted this year. I swear I thought Hansen was already in.
Thought for sure JBL was going to go in especially since they are in Texas.
Next year's class will be headlined by Daniel Bryan I bet. They are also set to announce WM 33 will be in Orlando.
Liked most of Raw last night, I am probably more excited to see Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens at WM than just about anything else right now.
Thought the think with AJ and Jericho was stupid. It was dumb having the match on Raw and not WM and then to have him turn...dumb.

Hate that guy so much. He's seriously the worst there is....
Didn't see Raw last night but I did get word I'm interviewing Brie Bella this week and approved for some interviews at Mania week in Dallas. Hope we get some old timers there.

Pretty funny article. In honor of the Hogan/Gawker trial, fans post their favorite Hogan lies.

The fact that Terry Bollea thinks Hulk Hogan has a 10 inch penis is the funniest and most believable story ever
Spears, I was a Macho Man fan and I hated Hogan. I think he constantly put himself in the spotlight and made everything about himself. He did this constantly in WWF/WCW with Macho's title wins. He also did it to Flair's WWF title win at the Royal Rumble in 1992. He always had to put himself in the ring to steal some of that person's spotlight.
The lies on that page are hilarious though.

You and I are the same age, I believe. I didn't realy "hate" him until my teenage years but re-watching the old stuff made it worse for me.
