2009 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

"The Flying Burrito" will forever be one of the greatest moves in wrestling history.

 

I'm partial to Cowboy Bill Watts as an announcer, as an old-school Mid-South Wrestling guy. Watts had a way with words that seemed to be ahead of his time. I'm sure a lot of it was well-thought out, but it seemed like a lot of off-the-cuff commentary. I would love how he'd throw out these random things on wrestlers that seemed to just further develop their character.

 

I used to think there was actually a TGS of SD. Not until I got older then I was smartened up that the graduates were fighting off TG's advances.

 

It's still REAL to the Baron!!!!!

Actually, I smartened up about 20 years ago.

I knew Garvin was one of Vince's top people caught up in the sex scandal in the early 90s with Patterson and Mel Phillips. But I didn't know what the Self Defense School was referring to until a few years back.

 

I think it speaks volumes to the gentleman Pat Patterson is that he is still one of Vince's stooges (and I mean that in the best way possible) and remembered fondly by WWE.

Supposedly, Patterson wasn't involved in the sex shenanigans, but had resigned because there was so much heat on Vince and everyone knew Patterson was gay.

 

Kennedy released. Guess they got sick of the constant injuries?

 

Definitely saw that one coming from a mile away. When the WWE was doing their round of cuts and releases earlier this year, they were contemplating releasing Kennedy, too. Vince decided to keep him around to see if he can prove himself as a main event guy and someone who can shake off his injury woes.

After Monday's injury, it seemed likely he was going to get the boot.

 

I can understand them being tired of Kennedy getting hurt. Still, it seems a little strange that they're cutting a guy who is just below the main event level.

 

Yeah, it would seem they could do something with him even if he's hurt. He's good enough on the mic.
Unless he's going to be out for a few more months.
Either way, that has got to go down as one of the most random, short-lived returns in wrestling history, doesn't it?

 

Dear Vince,
Fuck you.

Signed,
Mr. Kennedy fans

Seriously, WTF?

This is a move WWE will regret soon enough, I hope.
