Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 456: Nobody expects the Undertaker!

(+) Yeah! (+)

At the end of that segment, I both wanted HBK to fight one more match, and really wanted him not to. Well done imo.

also: when the sirens went off I marked out for Right To Censor

Man, how do sirens not make you immediately think Scott Steiner?

^ It's More the Pantzing of HHH and calling people fat, but that's a good shout.

Anyway, RTC's mission to Sanitize WWE kind of worked about 7yrs after their disbandment.

Got to love Corey Graves fixing storylines that make no sense.
---

Graves is so good at everything he does right now
---

I must be an outlier because I think Graves is a pretty bog standard commentator for WWE, and that most of what made him great in NXT has long since fallen away.
---

Graves is a good commentator at times, but he has a terrible habit of responding to every mistake, whether in the match or by another commentator, by freaking out and ranting about it non stop as if it's his mission in life to bury everyone

*hits a belly to belly suplex on neonreaper*

So based on all that SHIELD are still facing multiple criminal charges.

I'm sure that will come up later with trial updates and not be completely ignored and forgotten.

Bog standard is basically the best you can hope for in WWE.

Apparently Big Cass had a podcast interview with Booker T. He said the following:

- He totally screwed up and did many stupid things at a time and he deserved to be fired and totally understands and would have fired himself too.
- Big Cass thinks that he and Enzo broke up at the right time and that the act had ran its course (what?)
- He has absolutely no interest in working with Enzo and has not contacted him at all because they aren't friends. He said he may work with him if the money is right though.
- He hasn't watched wrestling since being fired.
- His friends Kevin Owens and Daniel Bryan told him to go tear it up on the Indies because it's the best it's ever been.
- He will be wrestling James Storm soon and it his name will be Big C. Which is just... Such a rip off of Big E.

AJ Styles has hit 300 days! Only the 9th guy to reach that point in one reign.

I find this surprising. I was under the impression they actually liked each other.

Pretty soon he'll be told to change it as 'Big C' may be offensive to some!

Hey, Cody is somehow one of the biggest names on the Indies right now.

Anything is possible.

He's not Nash but is in his mould; Big guy, hates "Manlets", slow, bit of a jerk.

I dont remember cena hitting 300. I thought he capped out at 280

Or was that Batista

^ Probably Teesta.

Becky shows up on screen, and the chants instantly start. She's so over.

So, I haven't followed this closely, but apparently earlier today, Eric Bischoff for some reason accused Dave Meltzer of using steroids. Dave gave this beautiful response.

"We were right next to Eric. Our autograph line never ended the entire time we were out there and had to go overtime. His lines never started. He was a lonely man sitting next to us, making love to his tonic and gin."

Fantastic.

From what I hear, it's because they laughed about Eric Bischoff saying at the Death of WCW book panel that Dave Meltzer wrote the book and that he was so angry about it and said it was filled with lies but never read a word of it. RD Reynolds had to correct Bischoff at the start of it since he co-authored it.

So Bischoff decided to make a few shitty tweets in his and Bryan's direction as a result of his own ignorance. They didn't even say anything too bad about Bischoff. They just laughed at the fact that Bischoff thought he wrote the book and moved on.

Although I think it's more that Bischoff has always hated Dave because he actually corrects all the insane lies that he tells in interviews.

Being the Elite has Stephen Amell meeting the Hurricane.

RIP Mike Hogewood

One of the voices of ROH in an era I remember very fondly. Took to wrestling fairly well for a guy who'd never called it before.

Does this mean he'll get the Final Countdown?

Excited that he resigned. I want to see him feuding with AJ and Joe at the top of the card.

Batista hit 282 with the World Heavyweight title. Cena got around 380 with the WWE title in a single reign in 2006-07.

Speaking of titles, I finally updated The Man championship lineage; Brock Lesnar's 273 day reign is the second longest, just 30 days shy of Batista's record-setting run with the title in 2008-09

You means Re-signed?

Resign generally means quit.

I never knew wrestling fans cared about pedantry so much.

Okay, back to not caring for another three years.

Yeah, you'll just have to wait a couple years until the fans drag the company kicking and screaming into putting him there again.

I figure it might happen after SDL moves to free tv. Roman will go over there because he's the "top face", and Vince will move Bryan to the B show so people won't be trying to get Bryan over Roman. Then they might give the belt to him or give him a run to keep viewership with Raw.

Is replacing Flight of The Valkyrie with The Final Countdown something he said he wants to do because that would be sick
