Youtube recommended a clip of some Raw in late 99 or something. It was Show and Kane.

Kane comes off the ropes to get some speed, makes a little hop to get up, and Show overhead pressed him before tossing Kane like a sack of shit straight to the floor.

Ignoring how wild it is that Kane took a bump that big straight to the floor on his back/hip, the power Big Show needed to actually catch Kanes big ass for the press in the first place, and then hoist him all the way up is wild.

I forget just how strong Show was until some shit like that comes across my screen, because he was mostly used to show how strong OTHER guys were. Which is so strange. Show was strong enough to catch a 300+ pound man in a jump and then overhead press him. No stumbling. No readjusting for grip. Just caught the fucker and pressed him over his head with ease.

Makes it easier to believe when Kurt says Show once grabbed him by the tights and carried him like a little boy.
 
/pw/ already speculating on The Rock's appearance tonight

in all seriousness im honestly curious to see how they work the Rock into this years WrestleMania build, the easy option is to just have him challenge Cody, but they could also appease The Rock/Roman guys now that Roman dropped the belt, not to mention he could also just throw his lot in with Solo's Bloodline

Have you seen the gif of Show running the ropes? I don't remember if he was still in WCW or if he was already in WWF at the time, but the dude was fucking fast for his size, too. Makes one wonder what kind of spectacle he would have been if he was allowed to really show (kek) what he could do.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of 80's WWF and an apologist for a lot of it, but those two shows aren't so good. Their success was important though. But I do think WM's 3 through 8 are great.

Call me crazy, but I don't think WM 9 is as bad as it's made out to be. I think the first two matches are really solid and even the tag title match I find to be enjoyable, the rest of the matches outside of two are average at best. I think this WM gets a bad rep cause of the Taker/Gonzales match and the ending but I've seen worse WM's (WM11).

When he was in Japan, he used to do a drop kick off the top rope. I forget who it was from the states who saw him doing it and told him to never do it again.

The argument being that it took away from him being this imposing big man and it also was something he couldn't do long term without risk of injury.

I've always been impressed by him just on the fact his cardio was always really good for a guy that big.

When Alexander the Great of Macedon was 33 he cried salt tears because he had no more worlds left to conquer. Chris Charlton is 41 and is very close to experiencing that blissful sadness that will send his career crashing down to earth and snuff out his career. Will he be left johnny jobless as a sexpat in Japan? Is this moment his Final Fantasy?
 
I tend to think Chris Charlton's commentary is pretty decent, and he fills the gap of actually being able to translate the Japanese promos. The only thing he said, that the wrestlers like Gabe Kidd and Finlay didn't already say in the build up, was that the wrestlers that Tiny poached haven't accomplished anything more than they had in New Japan. Which is true, all of their stocks have fallen in AEW.

In my opinion that rat Rocky Romero probably ran and told Tony Khan he was being badmouthed, he was sucking off AEW and Khan the whole time he was on commentary, and kept trying to shut Charlton down when he was trying to explain the New Japan vs AEW story of the Omega vs Kidd match. Plus. Khan strikes me as a "purist" that would only watch the Japanese commentary.

It was probably Dave himself. It's a fact that they talk privately, probably a lot, and that's something Dave would send off to Tony immediately.

You're probably right, my hatred of Rocky Romero probably just clouded my thinking process. For those who don't know, despite not accomplishing anything or being pushed for over 15 years, Romero weasled his way into being the "Western liason" for New Japan and the booker of the horribly booked and sporadic New Japan Strong brand.

It just sucks for anyone wanting to follow along New Japan shows in English, now we are back to the commentators being confused and silent during promos because they have no idea what the hell the wrestlers are saying. We had that for years with JR and Barnett, and Kevin Kelly and Don Callis. And God help us if Rocky Romero's annoying sycophant ass replaces Chris as the colour commentator.

This really sucks and casts a black shadow for me on two events I enjoyed quite a bit, it really reinforces that New Japan is AEW's bitch in every way now.
 
CM Punk vs Seth Rollins:
predicting a clean Punk win here, but not without a good fight, setting them both up to be in the Rumble
Roman vs Solo:
I want Roman to win, regardless its going to be a Bloodline interference fuck-finish thats how it always goes with them anyway
Morgan vs Ripley:
Please Haitch for the love of God just put the strap back on Rhea
Mcintyre vs Uso
Easy Mcintyre win here, I like both but lets be real, Drew is getting the rocket strapped back onto him feuding with the Bloodline
Rock Returns:
calls out Cody or Roman if I had to guess, maybe he throws his lot in with Solo's Bloodline
Cena Returns:
the retirement tour officially starts, Cena announces his entry into the Rumble to try to get a shot at number 17
Hogan:
probably just welcomes everyone to RAW honestly, maybe shills his beer, would be funny if he went on a political rant but I doubt it, regardless some in the crowd will boo him

indeed, he's now officially Vince levels of fucking petty, and Chris was right anyway, AEW having influence over NJPW is absolute bullshit, even Tiny has to know that deep down

There's stories of him being able to pull off moonsaults while training at the Power Plant.
Of course, nobody volunteered to take one.
 
Seeing Internet smarks seethe that Hulk is gonna be on Raw tonight is hilarious. His Real American Beer is gonna be advertised on the mat for Netflix Raw which I’m indifferent to because I’m just used to ridiculous advertising on UFC. It was nice though when WWF was just covered in WWF ads but there’s little to do at this point.
