Vader and Bam Bam wrestled in Japan. And Bam Bam said Vader was basically the world's biggest mark for himself. Him and Yokozuna used to laugh at Vader for taking shit super serious.

It's why I never get mad about HBK making Vader cry considering pretty much EVERYONE says Vader was a prick and a huge bully. Conman Cornette 'he's a huge teddy bear,' That's about as believable as Matt Morgan being the next big thing.

Huh, I could've sworn Foley said Vader was a big friendly guy too

Full BOLA Night 3 results;

Johnny Gargano defeated Candice LeRae via Hurts Donut.
Ricochet defeated TJP with the Benadryller
Trevor Lee beat Elgin with a roll-up
Kenny Omega defeated Matt Sydal with the One Winged Angel!
Strong beat Styles in a "bullshit DQ finish"
O'Reilly defeated Zack Sabre Jr. with a triangle choke - Strong attacked both men post match and hit Excalibur with a chair. Strong hit an Orange Crush backbreaker on O'Reilly and locked him in the Strong Hold until Bobby Fish made the save.
Mount Rushmore beat ACH, Sabin & Myers after a tandem tombstone on ACH.
Kyle O'Reilly is injured after Strong's attack, so Roddy advances to the finals.
Gargano tapped out Trevor Lee with the Garga-no Escape.
Ricochet defeated Kenny Omega with the Benadryller.
Chris Hero, Joey Ryan, Chuck Taylor, Rich Swann & Willy Mack defeated Biff Busick, Drew Gulak, Cedric Alexander, Bobby Fish & Tomasso Ciampa when Swann hit a frog splash on Fish.
Ricochet defeated Strong & Gargano to win BOLA 2014! Strong attacked Ricochet and destroys the trophy post-match.

Real good news for Willy Mack, dude's talented and it'll be interesting to see how they use him in NXT. Can't wait for these shows to arrive on DVD, wish they had the magic 24hr SMV turnaround like some CHIKARA shows used to.

He might have been friendly outside of the ring, but he was a mean prick inside of the ring. Bret puts over Yokozuna hard in his '92 timeline shoot because he says Yoko made it look like he was hurting you when in-fact he was taking a lot of care to protect his opponent, he said Vader was pretty much the opposite.

Predictable winner or best choice?
Click to expand...

Probably the best choice, I could see him winning the title, especially
with Strong attacking and injuring O'Reilly
. Also, what a crazy year
Ricochet is having, first gaijin to win the Dream Gate title, winner of the Best of the Super Jr's and now he's won BOLA

The Terminator is soooo much better than T2. No contest.

It's a really big difference seeing them back to back so close together for the first time. They're very different movies. I think a lot of people in the their mid 20s probably saw T2 first. But T1 is better, no matter how cool T2 is.
Click to expand...
I'd just like to say that you two are some wrong motherfuckers.

I'm definitely biased though. T2 is my favorite movie of all time.
People always get confused when I give them the rest of my top 10/fave five though.
Zach said:
Does "TS" mean "T2" here? If so, I mean, I liked it. It was a fun action movie. It dragged, though, and some of that child acting -- lawd.

I figure TS would mean Terminator Salvation.

On Rusev:

He has quickly become a favorite of top management, as both Vince McMahon and Triple H have become big fans of his, especially Vince. He worked his way up with a couple years on the indy scene followed by four years in WWE’s developmental system, and now he’s nicely filled a slot that especially Vince always likes filled on the roster - a big, muscular powerlifter guy. Vince’s attention, which can be scattershot and finicky, has shifted sharply away from Big E. - a focus of his earlier in the year - to Rusev. It’s not out of the question that Rusev will be kept undefeated (at least in terms of being pinned or submitted) until WrestleMania 31, with a very big name babyface opponent in one of the top three or four matches on the show. Agents have learned when in charge of Rusev’s matches to make sure he is kept looking dominant or face the wrath of McMahon afterward.

Damn, forgot about TGS. Wonder if Sony had any announcements about Morpheous since that looks like great tech

Well, no accounting for poor taste, I guess. How the hell did 'Vincent' even get a job with WCW? So irredeemably awful.

IIRC it was because 1. He was a former WWF guy and 2. They had the Million Dollar Man.

I also heard he was named Vincent to piss off Vince, but I'm not sure that's true.

On almost joining WCW and the NWO: "I almost went to WCW to be Hogan’s enforcer in the NWO. I named my price, the contract was being drawn up, and then at the last minute, I got a call saying the contract was being retracted and there was no longer an offer for me. I was stunned, man, just stunned. I asked why, and it turned out that Virgil offered to do it for a third of the price because he wanted to be back on TV so bad. That dumb motherf---er cost us both."

It's horrible and people who are blaming and shaming the celebs is awful.

That said, anyone who is into women who said they didn't go looking at them is a damned liar

The guy everybody hated was Shawn and it's obvious why.

Vader and Goldberg were two of the biggest fuckups the WWF/E did by outright dumb booking. At least Goldberg started off great with The Rock, but went downhill fast because of RAW is H's.

Same thing would have happened to Goldberg anyway, with or without HHH. He was made in WCW and brought in with no changes. Much like Vader, WWE never gives them a sustained push unless they've been there years. I was amazed Goldberg even held the WHC.

As many people hated Vader, if not more, than hated Shawn. Shawn never injured anyone and risked their livelihood. Vader attempted to injure everyone.

I'd be surprised if anybody liked Shawn in the mid-late 90's. Aside from Triple H who was just biding his way up the ass kissing tree. Even Undertaker hated his ass.

Vince liked him which is why he was brought in. Huge guy with amazing athleticism. It's unparalleled. But one guy's ego got in the way and thus really never recovered.

WWE 2k15 for PC has been seen on the Korean rating board.

Would be worth grabbing in a Steam sale once some modders fix some things.

I find that interesting. I mean, it's fine, and I don't think less of you for it, but in my brain it's just so flawed, I can't understand it being anyone's favorite movie. I'm guessing it has something to do with nostalgia. Maybe not, though.

Regardless, I must study and paint you, The Mango Sentinel.

Time to watch some Nitro on the Network, yay.

IT IS MONGO MCMICHAEL!

That mid-90s clothing, oh my.

At least my favorite wrestler of all time is opening this show.

There are much better things to be than "Vince's guy". Just look at that extract, Vince was super into Big E just a matter of months ago, now he's nowhere.
He gets bored of his "projects" quickly and discards them.

I just hope Rusev lands on his wrapped feet when his push ends.

Boogeyman was also Vince's 'guy'

What I'm telling you is that all it takes to be Vince's 'guy' is to be big.

Watching a random Nitro and the controversial ending of a match is completely missed live because they cut backstage to some nwo fans messing about.

Edit// they've also muted any references to 'WWF'
