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.
Yeah, cause Raven is selling like death in the background, and Nick Patrick seems like he is waiting for that dropkick.
From what I have heard, drugs ran backstage at a WCW show after 97 like water. That's the first I have heard of x, but several have said pain pills were everywhere.

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.
Hope Miz is ok hearing coward chants for the rest of his career. Not sure that's the direction I would have taken the angle, especially rushing Ziggler into it. Miz actually had a point to Bryan last week. Let the two of them slow burn it for a while. Now Miz just looks like Bryan was right.
He caught an 80-yard touchdown pass that he threw. Steve Jordan of the Vikings was there to vouch for it.
We won't get to see that in football this year unless Josh Dobbs does it to Kentucky.
Welp, if Heath Slater wanted to piss off the entire state of West Virginia with that interview, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
Sweet God, just watched Eddie's arm break. Still think Sid's leg was worse to watch, but damn, that elbow.
The Napolean Kaufman Raiders injury is still the most disgusting injury I've ever seen.
I think ECW was pure trash. I don't consider that wrestling. Why those guys put themselves through that crap for no money is sickening.
Serious question, after the past few years, where does Cena rank in terms of the greats?

This was one of the most intriguing, yet painful to watch events of my teenage years.
My friends and I were tape traders in the 90s. (We used to rent all the wrestling tapes from local video stores and copy them, plus trading/purchasing rare tapes online.) We treated Born to be Wired like an event and were left feeling like "WTF did we just watch?" when it was over.
So there really wasn't much of a follow up to Bryan and Miz last night right?? Unless I missed it.
On another note...watched some of these on You Tube, they were great.

The relationship with Brock and the fans has really soured after SummerSlam, in my opinion. It's basically because there is no give and take relationship. Brock does whatever he wants, puts no one over and shows up sporadically. That will piss people off.
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

You guys hear Roidback's comments from his podcast yesterday?
This douche is delusional
- He claims he was promised to be the top heel
- That Vince told him he would be booked to "squash the little twerp" A.J. Styles at WrestleMania 32.
- He had magazine offers but were nixed in favor of Roman Reigns.
- He was offered 3-years for $1.5 million but wanted all of his travel expenses paid for by WWE.
So this guy claims he was going to squash A.J. at Mania? LOL. A.J. was booked pretty strong before Mania and after Mania so they held him in high regards. Ryback was jobbing out to Kalisto.

Not sure anything beats "GLORIOUS"!!!
I'll have to listen to Mr. Perfects again, I can't remember it. Balor's is freakin wicked and perfect! Watched how they came up with it and made it and it was pretty cool.
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.
Anyone else see this? Rumor is Owens didnt know the finish until HHH told him "go with it" rolling him into the ring to get natural reaction.
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.
Severn's theme, though...one of the best ever.
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.
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.
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.
That's exactly why they do it. Basically everyone is an independent contract worker.
I don't know what he was popped for. I just don't like him and Roman Roids stuck with me.
Well this was an interesting read...I think NJPW would sign him in about 5 seconds if he called.

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.
That time La Parka fell on his f'n face for no reason.
La Parka actually looks like his ankle gave out and he falls. Super Calo selling......something, is hilarious though.
