Marvel.com: Currently in Marvel Comics, the biggest storyline is Fear Itself. What—if anything—does Zack Ryder fear?

Zack Ryder: Zack Ryder fears girls who are NHE: Not Hot Enough.

I think somebody grabbed Zack's phone:

Problem being is that they have not progressed his character passed "It's my destiny" bit. Coming out to fancy characters establishes that he's rich .. but that's about it. We know it's his destiny yet he didn't win at Wrestlemania and he despite winning the #1 contendership, still has to battle in MiTB. What hurt his character the most imho is not winning the title at Wrestlemania and fulfilling his destiny. Especially in hindsight with Edge retiring. Now, I like the fact that edge retired a champion .. don't get me wrong. However, you typically don't see that in the E.

They probably originally planned for Del Rio to win. But then found out he had to retire, and allowed him the respect of going out champion.

If you haven't seen the Steiner video Chris Hero was talking about on Art of Wrestling, that's the one. I love that video.

nWo Souled Out now playing on Nostalgia TV!

EDIT: Never saw this before but I have to say it looks bad.

EDIT 2: At least it's off to a good start with Chono vs. Jericho.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

LOL a USA chant which neither men are from.

Always wanted to see that, meant to be one of the worst PPVs ever.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

All black ring is badass.

Well, Jericho was born in New York.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

CM Punk was on Colt's Podcast

Spoiler

for 1 minute

(Main Guest is Chris Hero, with random cool stories of tampons, pole stabbing, and timezones)

The Hero/Colt vs. Smooth/Punk story was hilarious. Slipping all the way under the ring and selling cardboard boxes :lol

 

[cartoon_soldier]

WWE sure knows how to make hype videos.

Loved the subliminal 'sellout like Dwayne' part. Really surprised when I saw it.

The more I'm seeing and hearing the more I actually believe that this PPV is actually going to end with something other than a clean Super-Cena finish.

Yes, it's the Chicago screw job.

Just how Bret got screwed in Montreal (Canada), Punk gets screwed in Chicago.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Well, Jericho was born in New York.

Really? I always thought he was born in Canada.

Ah well, learn something new everyday.

I'm from Winnipeg you idiot!

Could set up Punk (and maybe even Cabana, if he gets signed) to feud vs the Corporation later this year.

All I want from this Sunday is Punk winning and then changing how the title looks. NO MORE SPINNER!

 

[Net_Wrecker]

All I want from this Sunday is Punk winning and then changing how the title looks. NO MORE SPINNER!

Don't even spin no more, dawg. It's just a tacky looking bling bling belt right now.

 

[IsayFever]

Cheesy looking belt :<

 

[DavieC726]

I hope they change it finally. Vince seemed to be surprised with how loud the cheers were when Punk said he would get rid of it

 

[JohnnyPhatsaqs]

The belt does look blingy. It needs to look more classic. Like the Heavyweight Belt

New respect for Hero just because of that story. I have a couple of friends that know about those vids, and we all quote Steiner in public just for reactions.

IT'S LIKE D-DAY ALL OVER AGAIN BABAY!

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Don't even spin no more, dawg. It's just a tacky looking bling bling belt right now.

That thing has been too ugly for too long.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Yeah this PPV is amazingly bad.

 

[trunbuns]

My Lord this NWO PPV is awful.

 

[Liquidsnake]

TNA morale is said to be low according to those new wrestlers who came in for spot appearances.

 

[NihonTiger90]

In other news, John Cena is WWE Champion.

Not surprised, though. Maybe that explains why some of the matches i've watched on free TV lately just seem to be guys going through the motions.

 

[Professor Beef]

Don't even spin no more, dawg. It's just a tacky looking bling bling belt right now.

I don't think that belt has spun since the Clinton Administration, dawg.

 

[krae_man]

I found this tidbit pretty interesting. So WWE is running Summerslam Axxess this year. The VIP package includes a meet and greet with the top tier in the company. It cost $70 (too much imho) but i go to the page and oh look

VIP SCHEDULE:
Saturday, August 13:
• Meet WWE Superstar The Miz from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
• Meet WWE Superstar Triple H from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. - SOLD OUT
• Meet WWE Superstar Randy Orton from 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. - SOLD OUT
• Meet WWE Superstar John Cena from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. - SOLD OUT

Sunday, August 14:
• Meet WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
• Meet WWE Superstar Edge from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.


Now this adds to the "top three" theory of a few pages ago.

I didn't bother going to last years. I agree it was overpriced and the Summerslam one is small. It's outside the Staples Centre instead of inside a huge convention center.

 

[krae_man]

His dad was playing for the New York Rangers at the time.

 

[Kyoufu]

Its been spinnin' round Orton and Cena's asses since, dawg.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Oh right.

Didn't realize he used twitter that much .. more of a YouTube sensation, no?

 

[Striker]

Rick Rude, guy oozes charisma. Not as much as Alex Riley, though!

 

[Knox]

Most of his twitter is links to the show. There are definitely more entertaining wrestler twitters.

dark days =(

 

[Kyoufu]

I'll probably get heat for this, but Zack Ryder ain't shit until he's on TV actually entertaining us and not randomly coming out to job or do bad catchphrases that make zero sense.

What an internet sensation.

 

[remnant]

NWO PPV is bizaare. is that what people considered hot women in the 90's?

You say that like it's his choice, though.

he isn't that good a wrestler. There are many guys I would bump up off superstars and the like over Zach Ryder.

 

[Battlezone]

This NWO PPV feels like it's been on for eight hours. I've had it in the corner with the sound off, and it just NEVER ENDS.

edit: They didn't pick the one with the big tits, AND the winner's throne is a toilet? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE

 

[Kyoufu]

Like the Usos, god damn. If I was to push the tag team division, I'd start with those guys.

 

[FallingEdge]

Anyone have that R-Truth gif where he is about to say something and then looks all crazy into the crowd? I hope that made sense lol.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

I hope I don't get banned

Who was the hottest girl in WCW circa 90-2001?

My vote goes to Medasia.

How impressed where you with the "Miss NWO" segment?

The 90's were so awesome guys.
