    It's crazy how a lot of the people that look small on TV are really 6'1" or 6'2". I remember being surprised on how big Road Dogg was when I first saw him up close.

    Most fans are surprised when they see how tall Edge actually is.

    the Michael Cole vs Jerry Lawler feud is easily the worst fucking thing I've experienced since I started watching wrestling again

    I had the opposite reaction to a lot of wrestlers whenever I went to see local indy shows, including Chuck Taylor. Though I wasn't necessarily surprised, it was just interesting how most of them look larger than life when they're up in the ring, but then when they're right next to you they seem a lot smaller.

    AJ Styles is shorter than I always thought he was from watching tape.
    When I met him I believe his words were "Yes, I don't have to stand on my tippy toes!" because I'm only 5'5 and he wasn't much taller than me at all.


    He absolutely used "tippy toes", that much I remember vividly because I mean who even says that?

    We did get Michael Cole in a plexiglass box out of that feud, so it wasn't all bad.

    I got to meet RVD once. Not at an event or anything, he was in casual street clothes and sunglasses at this shop that sold wrestling memorabilia, and the owner asked if I knew who he was.

    I thought he was Test because he seemed so damn tall. Kind of embarrassing, that, but I did get his autograph. =)

    The fans hated Batista and Roman winning because they believed they didn't deserve it over Bryan. Bryan isn't in the equation anymore, and Brock still has a ton of credibility.

    the fans would have been happy with reigns over batista in 2014

    they would have been happy with literally anyone including rusev over reigns in 2015

    bryan had very little to do with it

    Rusev vs. Brock would've been amazing.

    But then he might not've come out on a tank.

    This is absolutely not true.

    Bryan wasn't the only factor, but he was a big one.

    The fans turned on the 2014 Rumble immediately after they realized Bryan would not be in it.

    When did you start watching again?

    I'm pretty sure we can find something else since then that was just as terrible.

  • Ms DapperMs Dapper Yuri Librarian Registered User regular
    That's some really horrible shit, not just physical but constant emotional and mental abuse.

    pretty much right around the time Miz won the title from Orton

    and no, no, you're not going to top any of the lawler/cole matches

    They're pretty zero-tolerance. Like Vegetahullis said, Taichi accidentally confessed to having an affair last year, and he was suspended, depushed, lost essentially all locker room respect, and his career was never the same. He's even been banished to NOAH.

    Honma's definitely going to be out of Wrestle Kingdom and suspended at least, wouldn't count out a demotion/banishment to NOAH or outright release either.

    Any punishment he gets is deserved because that's inexcusable behavior

    Sorry to bring this up, I just woke up, but if we get Brock/Sheamus or Brock/Roman and the rest of the card is just as boring (and devoid of Sami vs. Kevin) I will probably sell my Mania ticket cause I don't wanna go through all the hassle of seeing a show live that I have no interest in.
