2012 Pro Wrestling Thread

Angle is a good one - It would have to be someone who was gone a long time, and then made a surprising return. But it can't be someone like Bruno Sanmartino or Jimmy Snuka, i.e. someone who is so old that it takes you a minute to realize who it even is.

For me, it would have to be Lesnar, although some of the wind is out of that sail because he's no longer a UFC fighter.

 

Kennedy had gotten hurt (shoulder, if I recall right), and was originally told by doctors that he was going to be out for a really long time (longer than the briefcase rule), so the WWE had him drop the case in a 30-second match to Edge.

Then a couple of weeks later, Kennedy was told that he was misdiagnosed, and that he would only be out a couple of months, as opposed to a year or so. By then, it was too late.

Whoops.

That also could have been one very interesting medical malpractice case.

"Mr ... um, Kennedy ... can you describe the losses you incurred by Dr. I.M. Kooky's diagnosis.:"

"First, sir ... my name is MRRRRRR ANDERSON!!! ... ANDERSON!!!. And yes, Dr. Kooky's fuck-up cost me my Money in the Bank briefcase, which meant that I couldn't cash in on a WWE title shot at any time, I couldn't take advantage of a beat-up champ. And I would have been champion, and Randy Orton would have then had to kiss my ass instead of getting me fired for dropping him on his weak shoulder."

"What do you mean, a briefcase gives you a title shot? Isn't wrestling fake?"

"OBJECTION! The concept of wrestling not being fake has already been proven in Stossel vs. Schultz."

 

Never going to happen, but I would mark out pretty hard if this came on.

 

Just because I always wanted to see it happen...

 

I am hesitant to post this as it's actually a little sad but of all the wrestlers, past and present, that could show up randomly on RAW, the one I would mark out the most for is:

Please, don't judge.

 

This one can't ever happen again, but I would totally mark out for this:

 

Or this one:

 

Of course this can't happen again, but I, and a heluva lot of people would have marked out for it:

Screw you Vince.

 

How about this?

 

This was a related video...and it seems like something Vince would've done in the early '90s. Hell, he's got the name (character, not actor), the manager and the vignette already.

 

I always loved these guys, no clue why:

 

Different company, but The Chairman would be outstanding:
