2011 Pro Wrestling Thread

If it's at Northeastern, last time, it was not. However, I think the rule was that he'd sign an extra thing if you bought the book there, or something. I went with that super-surly short guy that we both know, and had Jericho sign a poster of Goldberg. (I wanted him to sign, "Goldberg you're next!", but Jericho said that because Goldberg was big, he signed, "Goldberg <3s Jericho" instead.)

 

I have no idea who you're talking about, but I want to imagine it's this guy

 

Ah, Ralphus, the guy who, for a brief time, was the most-over character in WCW outside of Goldberg.

I read a Jericho interview from a few years ago where he said that people still ask him about Ralphus.

 

heh, Unfortunately, it was not Ralphus. I think in Jericho's first book, he said the guy got a bit of a big head about it - Like that he got an agent and what not.

 

I read the first third of Jericho's book the other day at Books-a-Million, and it was fantastic. The guy can turn a phrase, and has tons of hilarious stories.

*watching Against All Odds* Scott Steiner makes his return after more than a year off...and epically botches the pre-match promo.

 

Scott Steiner is in the Tyson Zone of professional wrestlers. You can't trust him to do anything correctly, but it is amazingly entertaining to watch him fuck up. (That being said, the rumor on him has long been that he is a steroid and rage monster backstage, so it's always amazing to me that people keep on hiring him for work.)

 

I'm a couple hundred pages into Jericho's new book now, and it's really, really good, especially if you're more into his WWE time than his origin story. I'm probably going to power-through and finish it tonight.

 

I love Kurt Angle, and I like A.J. Styles, Kaz and Samoa Joe.

That said, I can't watch that shit. It's got no heart.

 

The shit just included not D-Von going through a table, but one of D-Von's kids. I gotta say, Bubba Ray (sorry, *Bully* Ray) is a fantastic heel.

On another note, Karen Angle (sorry, Karen *Jarrett*) looks like hell in HD.

 

On yet another note...My God, can Ken Anderson cut a promo.

 

They really named him Bully Ray?
