The Wrestling Thread II: WrestleMania 33 - 7 HOURS

[KK]

Similar underdog/injury story like booked on World of Sport.

[Mafro]

Was expecting that chav with the receding hairline to win.

[Johnny Ryall]

From what I remember reading about the original snuka trial didn't Vince basically use his clout to make it go away as snuka was a top key guy? It's like one of the most controversial real life wrestling stories anyway.

That's the story, and that Vince had Snuka play the 'dumb savage' role while Vince talked to the police.

Up there with the bruiser Brody story in the how the strawberry float was this story not massive category.

I had no idea Dolph appeared to turn heel last week on SD.

I haven't watched wrestling in a while. Just seen a recent picture of mick foley. Man's lost a strawberry float tonne of weight.

Dang

[Cumberdanes]

Wow! He was in good shape in WCW but that is arguably the best shape he's been in for years if not ever.

[BAKA]

Blue Peter badges . Cole having trouble saying CBBC . Tournament has been ace so far. It feels a nice mix of the UK scene and old school WWE, Cole even said busted open.

I noticed that TNA app is now available on Amazon's Fire TV. I think I'm going to subscribe. Sunday night isn't the same without it. It mentions PPVs from 2005 onwards too, which I'd love to go through. All those quality matches with the likes of AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, Bobby Roode, Christopher Daniels, Jay Lethal, The Motor City Machine Guns and Curry Man! I'm so weak willed. But if Miracle, the Hardys and the Wolves all leave I'll cancel.

Oooh, things just got interesting.

Can't wait to hear his music again

[Slimgrady]

Well deserved, one of the best ever, but I think maybe a bit too soon? Would have loved to have seen him have another run.

[Mafro]

Excellent news. I know his back and body are strawberry floated but it would be great if he gets cleared to have a match at Mania or something. Would love to see him as American Alpha's manager.

[KK]

I wonder if he's involved in the match F4W has been talking about at WrestleMania that 'everyone is going to like.'

Or new RAW GM...Stephanie never did evaluate Foley's job last week.

[CuriousOyster]

strawberry floating yes man. Definitely one more match in him, he still looked famtastic at ICW in November.

[Floex]

Speaking of Angle, I've been going through some Raws from '97 as I had never seen the formation of DX or the start of Stone/Cold Vinny Mac, colour me surprised when this hit at the 1:19 mark

Angle V. Rusev or Angle teaming with American Alpha against anybody at all would be awesome.

[Return_of_the_STAR]

So so so happy to see angle getting inducted. I hope he gets a wrestlemania match. He can clearly still wrestle great matches as seen recently in the indie scene. He had a good match with Cody Rhodes in WCPW and has a match coming up in WCPW soon against Alberto del rio (del patron on the indie scene) on 12th Feb in Milton Keynes.

Angle's theme had been used for many years before it landed with him, sure I saw it used as an old Survivor Series theme for one of the teams back in the 90's.

[Cumberdanes]

They've reused themes before. Hulk Hogan's Real American theme was originally used by the tag team U.S. Express
