Re: Pro Wrestling Talk

gold dust is the worst performer IMO. should never been given the numerous chances that he has been given.


Hilarious. :lol: about 2 days later he's a champion. Your posts do amuse me. You must be a teenager, his body of work in the NWA was excellent and the WWF signing him was one of the major signings of the 90s and a big part of the turning point that gave Vince the control of wrestling. Not sure if there is much point in trying to explain territories and so forth but Goldy deserves every opportunity he is given. He is the son of the American Dream and helped VKM realize his American dream.
Congrats to Shattered Dreams another bona fide worker.

Just because he's a 'champion' (of the incredibly prestigious tag-team title!), doesn't mean he's a greater worker. Even Great Khali was World Champion!
Goldust was a mid-carder at best during the Attitude era, hardly a big part in the WWE/WCW war.

Re: SANFL MEMBERSHIPS SEASON 2014

I've also noticed that the Adelaide Crows General Admission, Silver, Gold and Essentials memberships are quoted as offering entry into all AFC State League (SANFL) games free.
Disgraceful if true.

It is true. And disgraceful.

As the head of the Alice Springs football once said to me when I asked about the number of spectators that come to games in Alice in the boots of cars and through un-authorised "gaps" in the fence, "We might not get them when they come through the gate, but by Christ we get them when they go to the bar and canteen...."

Who cares is Crows supporters get in for nix it's money the clubs don't see directly, our clubs will "profit" once they start buying food and drink.

So we should just make SANFL games free then?

Re: Pro Wrestling Talk

Talking about the Royal Rumble (defintiley one of my favourite PPV's of the year) JR said the following in an article I just read.

"Hmmm, what if the winner of the Royal Rumble decided to challenge the Undertaker at WrestleMania in New Orleans and not the WWE World Champion? Then February's PPV could determine the Title challenger in some sort of competition that is culminated in that one night on PPV? Hey, it's just an idea."

I know the championship is the be all end all in the business, but facing Undertaker at Wrestlemania is one of life's great privelages and rarities, hence why I love JR's idea of the winner of the RR to face the deadman at WM so much. It would be something unique and would allow WWE to change things up a bit.

It wouldn't make much sense, surely the title is most important.

Re: Pro Wrestling Talk

I think it is looking more Kane vs PUNK at mania, after the end of smackdown

Don't miss the Real American v usos match with Zeb colter bit. :D

Nah, Kane doesn't belong in the major matches.

On Daniel Bryan, I thought this was a good article, titled "Do The Right Thing" written by Mark Madden:

"The fans of Daniel Bryan took over Raw again this week, delivering another spectacle of YES! WWE is lucky. It’s not too late to do the right thing.
But will they?
WWE must have Daniel Bryan beat Randy Orton for the WWE world title at the end of WrestleMania, going off the air with the entire New Orleans Superdome turning into an army of YES! There’s no other option. What would work better? The path doesn’t matter. Bryan with the strap must be the end result.
WWE tried its best to minimize Bryan. They beat him. Insulted him. Emphasized his weaknesses. Made him look foolish. Tried to use him to build performers who fit their preferred profile. It didn’t work. At all. The fans won’t back off. They don’t see him as a B-plus wrestler. He’s their guy. YES! YES! YES!
What’s manufactured usually doesn’t beat what’s organic. This is no exception. As a bonus, YES! is crossing over into the mainstream. Bryan is somehow creating an Austin-like frenzy in a PG-13 environment.
WWE can’t defeat Bryan. So, finally…WWE needs to embrace Bryan.
WrestleMania is about giving the fans what they want. About sending the fans home happy. About providing “WrestleMania moments.”
The family probably thinks Undertaker winning (yawn) provides a “WrestleMania moment.” Or that baby oil on Randy Orton’s pecs provides a “WrestleMania moment.” Or that Triple H wrestling (double yawn) provides a “WrestleMania moment.” Or that Hulk Hogan limping (ZZZZZzzzzz…) provides a “WrestleMania moment.” Brock Lesnar? John Cena? Paul Heyman? Batista jumping to the front of the line? (Which is what’s going to happen.)
If VKM believes any of that matters, I’m afraid I’ve got some BAD NEWS.
One thing works: Daniel Bryan wins the WWE world title. For keeps, or at least for the foreseeable future. No screw jobs. No Dusty finish. LEGIT.
Trust your eyes. Trust your ears. Consider what we’ve witnessed and tell me what WWE could invent that works better than Daniel Bryan winning the WWE title and the subsequent reaction. Now THAT is a “WrestleMania moment.”
Don’t be concerned with the future. Don’t worry about the glory of Roman Reigns (double ZZZZZzzzzz…) or the split of The Shield or Ryback getting psychiatric counseling. That’s later. Daniel Bryan is now. Now more than ever.
This is a big test for WWE. The path is SO CLEAR. “The fans choose.” We’ve heard that before, right? Well, the fans have chosen. WWE can give the people what they want, or jam their boring, stubborn vision down their throats yet again.
But, as a consumer, realize this: If WWE doesn’t give you what you want in this, the most obvious of situations, they will probably never give you what you want. That being the case, there is only one answer you can give when it comes to subscribing to the new WWE Network:
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! "

Re: Crows Disgrace

Adelaide's nonstop crises are a bad look and bad outcome for SA footy.

The brand of footy gets hurt in the corporate market.

What the Crows are doing is bringing that price down and in many ways it's devaluing the product.

Seeing them like this at the moment does no-one no good at all.

My point is, it does none of us any good to see the Adelaide Football Club in this way.

It puts pressure on SA football.

Re: Pro Wrestling Talk

It has been a big week.

Thought Wrestlemania was pretty good overall.
The stage/stadium set-up looked awesome as it usually does for the big show.
While it was memorable to see Hogan, Austin and the Rock in the ring together, nothing they did or said was memorable in the opening segment.
HHH vs Bryan was a good match to start off.
The 30-man battle royal was probably the best battle royal I've seen (battle royals normally suck). Great finish for the surprise win.
It was a shame that The Shield were put in a squash match against 3 over-the-hill blokes. At least the Shield still haven't broken up.
Cena struggled in his match as I thought he would, with his typical awful acting. It didn't make any sense for Wyatt to lose. Worst match of the show.
The streak ending was a huge shock, especially after such a uninteresting build-up. The crowd's stunned reaction was awesome. Perhaps, in hindsight, it wasn't such a huge shock that Undertaker chose Brock to end the streak. Taker is a big UFC fan and obviously respects Brock's professional fighting abilities/accomplishments. I see this resulting in the Undertaker's retirement match at Wrestlemania 31, perhaps in a rematch.
The divas match was well set-out and was watchable. Can't say that about many Wrestlemania divas matches in the past!
Main event was very good with all 3, even Batista, working hard. The right result; like Wrestlemania 10 and 20 the highly-talented/hard-working wrestler won the gold.

How good was Heymen's promo on Raw? Best in the business on the mic. Cesaro joining Heymen was a shock as I thought he'd turn very soon. Good episode of Raw.

Eric Young winning the TNA title is surely another nail in the coffin of that company. It is baffling that the promotion is still going.

Warrior's death was a shock. He didn't look overly healthy during his Wrestlemania and Raw appearances (I haven't watched the HOF ceremony yet), but I thought maybe it was just emotions. A shame that yet another wrestler has passed. Saw a photo of an old Nintendo WWF game with Hogan, Big Bossman, Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior and Andre on the cover; only one of them are still alive!

Re: The 2014 season no AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

It was quite interesting how Port got their reserves side into the SANFL. All the focus and members info nights last year were about the Crows reserves. Power got their reserves team in very quietly soon afterward the Crows did. With their current set-up, getting home games at Alberton and not having to pay the other 8 clubs anything like the Crows do, the SANFL gave Power a very good deal.
