God I hated Luger. He made a great heel though. I do kinda wanna read his book he wrote though.

[tommymtcom]

He went all super religious didn't he? Last time I saw him he was tiny (except for his head)

Yes very. A lot of them do after years of debauchery.

He is super small now compared to what he was.

[numbers]

That picture is alarming. Hall, we expect to look like shit, but Luger looks like Stephen Hawking.

[numbers]

Luger was a perfect example of a guy I liked until I understood wrestling, then I realized how terrible he was.

[Kaius]

Oh god he looks awful.

[BurtReynolds]

he's paralyzed isn't he? Or maybe he can walk a bit now.

[Kaius]

That would make sense. Damn

[BigRedLedbetter]

he's paralyzed isn't he? Or maybe he can walk a bit now.

He had a spinal stroke a few years ago. He can walk and drive now I read.

so i decided to watch an old wcw ppv capitol combat 90 and the 2nd match should be a gem between mean mark and johnny ace

[numbers]

I've started watching the wrestle manias in sequence. I'm currently halfway through IV. I and II were so bad.

I watched that the other day haha. I loved when Mean Mark would tight walk the top rope and drop an elbow. As far as people in the wrestling world I probably don't hate anyone more than John Laurinaitis. Just as ass bag.

I'm going to start doing the same thing soon. Yes 2 is probably the worst one ever. In the wrestling podcast I use to do with a buddy we did reviews of the wrestlemanias but we skipped 2 because it was so terrible.

I adore 3 and 4. Yes 4 is a massive clusterfuck but I find it to be entertaining.

yep, and he was pretty terrible in the ring too.

now its the Samoan Swat team vs Tommy Rich and Mike Rotunda, not too bad of a match, cool to see a young Rakishi again. did i hear somewhere that Rotunda is Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas's dad? i need to look that up

I did not know until recently that the Sultan (wrestled the Rock at Wrestlemania 13) was a young Rikishi. My buddy met Rikishi a few years ago. Super cool guy apparently.

Indeed Rotunda is Bray and Bo's Dad. IRS was hilarious in WWF. ROtunda could really work. Had some great matches especially with the Steiners.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

does anyone know whats up with Bo? i felt like he was starting to get over with the crowd then all the sudden he started losing and disappeared, i think i heard that Vince didnt really like the character, so is he getting repackaged ?

[BigRedLedbetter]

He is still hurt I believe or like just got cleared. I read that too that Vince doesn't like the character. Bo has a lot of talent. They will find something for him.

[numbers]

Put him with Wyatt, I dont understand how this isnt being considered.

[BigRedLedbetter]

I hope it is. It makes sense. I love the Wyatt character. The point of a cult is to recruit new members. It made no sense when they didn't add Kane after they feueded for a bit. I think that would be a better fit than corporate Kane.

I swear most wrestling fans with knowledge of the product and a brain can write tv better than most of the writers they have now. I saw an interview with Jim Cornette a few years ago and he mentioned they are focusing more now on hiring people with degrees in creative writing over knowledge of wrestling. What the fuck? If you don't know what a super plex is you have no business writing wrestling programming.

Two of the best ideas the last 5 years have been the Straight Edge Society and the Shield. Both ideas of CM Punk.

I've never actually watched 2, is it worse than 9?
