If You're John Laurinaitis, What Would You Be Ordering Teddy Long To Do?

[Dino Velvet]

I remember Teddy Long back when he was a ref in WCW. If I were Laurinaitis, first thing I'd do is force Teddy to dress up as Peanuthead(his old nickname) and referee and ring announce in that costume. I also would only allow him the one outfit so we can watch it as it gets torn and tattered from week to week. Gotta send those grandkids to college, Teddy. Yer fucked.:party:

LOL! I'd rather see Bob Backlund show up as the general manager for one of the shows. Bowtie, suspenders, old fashioned dorkiness, and all. He still works for WWE, but I'd like to see him get some TV time.

Like to see Backlund snap putting the chicken wing on everybody, even a couple fans sitting at ringside before the road agents throw a hood over his head. A dork perhaps, but a psychotic one.

LOL! Yeah, he did go crazy during the later part of his active career. In recent months I've taken an interest in looking back at his career and what he's done in wrestling. Guy is very underrated. He is very legit and can wrestle his fucking ass off and he's a good actor. I tell you someone else I'd like to see make a comeback into the WWE. He'd be great as a commentator.

For fun I would have him oil up Big Dick Johnson, I'm guessing you know who that is. Or I would make him make out with Mae Young. Oh and I would aski him to stop saying "playa". I'd also have Ricardi Rodriguez announce to Teddy anything Ace wants him to do.

Aw, man! Big Dick Johnson LMFAO. I almost forgot about that guy.

You know, Mae Young actually looked pretty good when she was LITERALLY "young" back in the 1940s and 50s. Moolah did too. :)

And yes, Teddy needs to stop saying playa. An old man doesn't need to try to talk like people half his age. Even with the whole thing being an act, it still fails.

Make him a heel commentator who's a stickler on rules but only notices when the babyfaces break them but is always distracted by voices in his head when the heels are up to no good.

The Road Warriors were my favorite team ever and Hawk was one of my top favorite overall. Bad ass dude in every way. He's one of those guys who was able to make it seem real in and out of the ring. Like when he was bad mouthing someone in an interview you really felt he really hated the individual. Definitely a top 5 interview/ promo guy of all time.

I have an old vhs tape I made from around the same time as that youtube clip. Has several great road warrior promo/matches. I always see if anyone else put them on youtube but no one ever has. Wish I had a way to convert them and get them uploaded, people would love em, although the quality is less than good all these years later. Sound started fucking up on the tape yrs ago.

[Dino Velvet]

Hawk didn't care if he was taking a bump or having a bump. 5150/24/7/365

It would be cool if both warriors were around to be Laurinaitis hench men. They could be bad guys again which is how they always thrived. They would be old now for sure but since they are bad , cheating is and would be expected. Miss ole Hawk, he was something.

To me Laurinaitis is the best part of the show. My favorite, at least. I can't stand Cena and some of the other cornballs. Wrestling was better in 1990, even better in 1985.

I have some DVDs with William/Steven Regal matches from the 1980s. Regal is a Helluva wrestler and from Blackpool, England too. YouTube has a lot of that Welsh World Of Sport Wrestling which is still fun to watch. Fit Finlay too.

Jackie threw a mean verticle suplex on a large wrestler even though she was a little shorty. She's strong and tough and still looks good. Think Sullivan was poking her for real too. They woulda had some squatty kids. Barrel chests with T-Rex arms.

Goldberg Vs Lord Steven Regal - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh2dtPO3d4Q)


I'm not so sure about this claim. First of all besides the obvious, a legit 6'2 1/2 280 pound, super athletic and agile Bill Goldberg. Without a doubt the most explosive and strongest (Not counting Mark Henry) pro wrestler of his time. Now I'm not talking about weight lifting strength per se but just an extremely powerful human being. He was also well trained in Muay thai and somewhat competent in bjj. If I had to put money on it, I'd put my money on Goldberg in a real fight.

Yeah I've heard the stories of Jericho choking him out in a backstage brawl (I call bullshit on it). Goldberg had nothing but haters in the industry who were all very jealous of his "un earned" rise to the top. A lot of people resented this so putting rumors out about him not being so bad ass made sense to them. And even if he did get caught in a choke in a back stage brawl where others are involved, so what. That Goldberg was a bad bad man in a legit way. He has said that if the UFC had been as big when he was through with football he would have went in that direction. It's really hard to understand just what an athlete like him could accomplish in a real way. You don't see many physical specimens like him walking around. Sure there are plenty of 6'3 280 pounders out there with nice show muscles. But he was a real beast capable of doing some serious bodily hard very quick and efficiently if he wanted too.

Do you think Goldberg could've beaten Lesnar at Wrestlemania if it were a shoot? Lesnar's back on RAW now.

[MrBlonde]

Do you think Goldberg could've beaten Lesnar at Wrestlemania if it were a shoot? Lesnar's back on RAW now.


Well not sure but probably not. WhY? Because the age factor number 1. #2 is the fact that Lesnar is one of the only other guys who can match or come close to the real brute strength and athletic prowess that Goldberg possessed. And 3 Lesnar was also a legit real wrestler who was a ncaa division 1 champion. As a MMA fan and follower I know that 9 times out of 10 a great wrestler can beat a striker (muay thai) if he chooses to utilize his wrestling in the fight.

Now it's a known fact that Lesnar didn't pan out as a great "real fighter" but I have a theory about this and I honestly think I'm right. Brock Lesnar is a classic example of a "Bully". Not saying this as a negative (although bullies do suck). But what I'm saying is he is or was great in the beginning before he had a taste of his own medicine. When he first branched out into the real world of combat he had never been beat up. He lost his 2nd pro fight to a former world champion (Frank Mir) but he was beating the hell out of him before the ref made a horrible and un-fair call to stop the action and deduct a point fron Lesnar for hitting the back of the head. The right call would have been a verbal warning while letting the action continue (which is always the norm). But he completely stopped the action, stood the fighters back up, took a point away and Brock then got caught in a leg lock from a crafty and talented vet of the sport. Not taking anything away from Mir but truth be told he was dead meat before the ref interfered. A point proven when they had their rematch a little later and Brock beat him like a red headed step child.

But what I'm trying to get at in such a long winded way is Brock ran ruff shot over everybody (In the UFC) before two things happened. 1. he got sick (diverticulitis) and 2. He fought someone who fought back hard, hurt him with punches and showed Brock he was indeed human. When someone stands up to a bully and in this case hurts him, well he is never the same mentally again. He is a little more unsure of himself. And that added with his continued medical problems made him feel very unsure of his own toughness.

Brock Lesnar was never knocked out cold. Each loss was a mental break down as much as anything. He mentally quit before he physically had too. I really think had he not gotten sick and gotten caught with a huge shot from Shane Carwin (thought of as probably the hardest puncher in the UFC) that Brock would have continued to fuck people up. All that really crushed out his fighting spirit more than anything else. Ofcourse this is just my personal opinion and many would argue against it. But I study human nature and have followed combat sports my whole life. I think I know a thing or two. Brock was a bad man. He is a shell of that man now but I am not looking down on him. He's still tougher than 90% of the world and in my opinion coming back from such a serious illness to defend your belt in a real sport is a great accomplishment. But bottom line is he realized he is human and not an immortal wrecking machine like he previously thought himself to be.

But had Goldberg entered into MMA right out of football, learned and trained in that sport a while and faced Brock when they were both in their prime... who knows. I kind of feel Goldberg is the real deal and probably mentally tougher than Brock. Goldberg made it to the NFL and stuck around a while before injuries sent him packing. He is a very special athlete and that's hard to bet against.

[MrBlonde]

As an example another bully facing facts and never being the same again is Mike Tyson. Before Buster Douglas stood up to him Mike couldn't be touched. Hard living, sketchy women and lack of focus helped take him down a notch first. But added with all that and a decent challenger who was badly overlooked you had a perfect storm for a Bully realizing he wasn't the be all end all.

If you watched boxing much you would know Tyson still had all the tools to be the same baddest man on the planet after that loss. But he always had a little self doubt from that moment on and was never quite the same.

Sure he wrecked more guys after but never in quite the same fashion. It was the start of a mental crumbling. It's a real shame. Tyson is still one of the all time greats based on his accomplishments. But without that self doubt he could have been so much more. Nearly unbeatable really.

I wish boxing was good again. I was a kid in the 70s and saw so many great fights. I miss Tyson in his prime too. Do you like boxing these days? I'm way outta the loop. Only sport I watch/follow now is Football(NCAA & NFL). I like MMA in a casual way. I've seen a number of matches on Spike TV but haven't seen a PPV all the way through except in the early days of UFC.

[south ov da border]

Goldberg was a freak, but granted he did have a limited move set and that pesky tailbone. Lesnar would have eaten him alive. That observation about Brock's mortality is a great one, because it's true. Once you get in a position like his, it's hard to get back in the mindset that you are unbeatable.

I do think that Goldberg was the right thing at the right time in 97-98. He was so over with that streak thing. Now how well would he have done against a Undertaker from the early 90's or even a scott hall when he was a roided out Studd, who knows. But when he pulled that backflip.... It was OVER !!!

Boxing sux now a days. Too much money and too many people who don't want to fight big fights. I'd take Alexis Arguello Aaron pryor Marvin Hagler Pernell Whitaker over anyone in their class these days. THe heavyweight division is a joke, but the problem is most of the people who could do well are going the MMA route.That's what's in now...

Also when talking about tyson, Buster was tailor made to beat him on paper. Big enough to lean on him and keep him off balance so he couldn't throw effective hooks to the head and heavy enough to wear him down. BUT douglas also had that whole thing with his mom passing, so he had something to fight for. I don't think Tyson's team after getting rid of Catan and the team really scouted his opponents well. Plus his corner was joke in that fight, I think that had water filled gloves *maybe even a condom I don't remember* instead of compression tools for his face. After that Tyson didn't believe the hype anymore mentally, even though he still tried hype himself up...

Boxing sux now a days. Too much money and too many people who don't want to fight big fights. I'd take Alexis Arguello Aaron pryor Marvin Hagler Pernell Whitaker over anyone in their class these days. THe heavyweight division is a joke, but the problem is most of the people who could do well are going the MMA route.That's what's in now...

I was a big Roberto Duran fan and liked a lot of the Latin boxers as long as they were blood & guts. I have also enjoyed joining Mexicans in booing De La Hoya during his bouts too.

[MrBlonde]

I wish boxing was good again. I was a kid in the 70s and saw so many great fights. I miss Tyson in his prime too. Do you like boxing these days? I'm way outta the loop. Only sport I watch/follow now is Football(NCAA & NFL). I like MMA in a casual way. I've seen a number of matches on Spike TV but haven't seen a PPV all the way through except in the early days of UFC.


No I've almost come to hate boxing now. The talent pool is far far less and like someone else said under here, no big names want to fight each other. I personally consider Mayweather the biggest coward to ever get involved with the sport. Oh his publicity team has done a great job of late, throwing blame elsewhere. But if you have kept up with the "Real" behind the scenes stuff, you know it's Mayweather spinning things his way. That dude is scared to death of Pac-man. Not wanting to get in an arguement over that or anything, if someone disagrees. it's not worth my time or anger to get in a heated discussion.

The heyday of boxing is far gone now. The 70 and 80s were it in my opinion. The HW's in the 70's and the middleweights and other lighter classes of the 80's. MMA is the new combat sports king.

[MrBlonde]

If you want to see a fight in MMA that should make you an instant fan, look for Dan Henderson vs Shogun. Not that old of a fight, happened this past winter. One of the greatest fights of all time. If it doesn't make you a fan then the sport isn't for you.

[Dino Velvet]

The HW's in the 70's and the middleweights and other lighter classes of the 80's. MMA is the new combat sports king.

I agree. I'd be more apt to purchase a UFC PPV than a Boxing PPV. I think the UFC markets itself pretty well in the US. Any good MMA from Japan these days? Here's an old favorite of mine.

Very true, Tyson's camp and corner was as badly prepared for that fight as Tyson was. Don't remember the odds now but it was like the biggest upset of all time and probably still is. The whole thing was a bad joke. You are correct in Buster had the right style and mindset to pull the upset, but you have to think had Tyson stayed focused and been trained and motivated nothing Buster would have done would have made a difference. If Cus had never died, no tellin how far the Tyson machine would have gone. I myself was a huge Holyfield fan and would have rooted for him if they fought (and did when they fought), but had that been a prime Tyson, I don't think Evander could have beaten him. That prime Tyson with that blazing hand speed, great head movement and sick, bone crushing power....DAMN!

Oh man Frye vs Takayama, that's a great one. The sport has evolved allot since then and that was just a fun brawl but it's one of my favorites of all time. Don Frye was like Magnum PI on steroids lol. He's a great character even today.

No All great MMA is being fought here in the states now. Well I shouldn't say that because the UFC is a traveling circus but I mean it's based here. UFC bought out Pride which was the other best org and based in Japan. Now they replaced it with a org called Dream but it's not much of nothing because everyone (almost) worth their weight heads to the UFC for the bigger bucks and more reliability. Allot of those Japan orgs were infamous for not paying their fighters what they said or at all and also being run behind the scenes by the Yakuza.

There is a free UFC card on tonight actually on Fuel TV. Pretty decent card for free. If you have fuel and some time, check it out.

mayweather is good, but he's also a product of marketing. I liked his uncle growing up. The 70's heavyweights and 80's in just about every other division were the best. And de la hoya getting bood- classic . Paq man would give it to him because he throws hard and in bunches. No matter how many punches May dodges and slips it will wear him down. I don't see enough counter opportunities for him to get to manny really. He throws hard either hand. I just don't see May winning that...

i have a homie who wants me to check him out in training. I don't wanna do it until I'm at least a few months into BJJ on my own.

HOLY SHIT this thread blew up in a couple of days!

First of all, I just want to say that Dino is basically just like me when it comes to pro wrestling! EVERYONE you've been talking about in this thread is someone who I am a fan of too! Abdullah, Meng, Backlund, Sullivan, Manny, Jun Kasai, Regal, etc. You have damn good taste in pro wrestling. I hardly ever come across someone who likes just about everyone I do. You have my respect!

Yes, Hawk was the crazy mouthpiece of the Road Warriors with a voice that was pure insanity. Animal was the monster that just seemed to smash everything like the Hulk (it's a well known fact he was legitimately strong as FUCK).

The Goldberg vs Regal situation was interesting. Regal damn near shot on Goldberg. He wasn't expecting that crazy shit so he was struggling to put on a good match. And yes, WCW got mad as hell and fired Regal for that too. Goldberg had some training in real fighting and he was highly athletic and strong, that is true. But, Regal had was more legit experience on the mat than Goldberg, and he had some VERY solid training in old school submission grappling at Billy Robinson's gym. The man has real grappling skill and you don't want to shoot on someone like that, period. Regal certainly was not weak, he was in great shape, and he's an obvious heavyweight so he's certainly not small and he has some weight on him. If they had a straight up submission fight for real, Regal would hurt Goldberg. Highly skilled smaller men can immobilize, counter, strangle, or bend something the way it's not supposed to bend when going against less skilled big strong aggressive men in a matter of seconds with proper technique that doesn't even involve the use of raw strength. So think what Regal would do to Goldberg. I've had some training in that type of submission wrestling, and MMA, for a few years (been a bit sporadic, but I do it when I'm able to; I'm also a huge fan of boxing and it's history, I know a lot about fighters from the early 1900s and back into the bareknuckle era) so I've had a chance to experiment with some moves and have them performed on me to see that that shit is not to be fucked with LOL.

Big Japan has a long history of being very over the top and having high risk, dangerous matches. The guys who do that I have a tremendous amount of respect for, but I also wonder what the FUCK is going through their minds. I guess they're just doing it for the fans, because they're just looking in the mirror and saying "fuck you" to themselves. I love Japanese wrestling though. Their regular matches tend to be very serious and stiff compared to matches from other parts of the world. Depending on who's in there it can look like a borderline MMA or shoot match instead of something that's NOT full contact. They strike and slam each other to the point of blurring the boundaries of what's full contact and what's orchestrated. The amount of physical and mental shape you have to be in to operate at that high of a level and still do a good ass match week after week after fucking week while rarely getting a serious injury...and doing that shit for YEARS...can't get enough praise. Even more so for the guys who do the extreme bloody matches. The pain tolerance and bravery you have to have is something that the vast majority of people wouldn't be able to handle, and most couldn't even handle a regular match let alone something that involved tables and barbed wire. They just basically beat the living shit out of each other, and say "hey man, good match, I think they liked that shit haha". Crazy ass shit.

Jun Kasai has some problems LOL...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_T1Bvp3bag


I happen to live about 50 miles outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. As you guys probably know there's a ton of American wrestling heritage centered around this area. Lots of older and newer wrestlers are either from this area or trained around here. Barbarian and Ric Flair live in Charlotte along with a lot of others. The Hardy Boys are from Aberdeen which is about as far from where I live to the east as Charlotte is to the west of me. Edge lives in Asheville. Andre the Giant lived in Ellerbe which isn't far from Aberdeen. My mom and aunt were childhood friends with the Junkyard Dog, and I went to high school with his daughter. A friend of mine from another high school I went to said his uncle knows the Barbarian (who was another LEGIT strong as fuck dude lifting several hundred pounds in the weight room! and lmfao at that pic of him with that paper talking shit about Inoki!!! I've never seen that!!!). North Carolina and pro wrestling are inseparable haha!

Oh, and I was in Atlanta a few years ago and I went to Abdullah the Butcher's restaurant. All of the photos that cover the walls are fucking amazing, and the food was pretty good too. I didn't see the man himself, he wasn't around at the time haha. But you know I had my camera with me JUST IN CASE!

Kevin Sullivan was such a good actor he actually made people believe that he was a devil worshiper. I have his shoot interview on DVD. He actually scared wrestlers and fans alike lmfao.

Speaking of Sting and Dick Slater, I heard that they got into a fight over a woman. They both wanted to fuck her so they had a fight LMFAO.

As for Brock Lesnar and MMA...this is my opinion of it. Brock is an outstanding amateur wrestler with a high level of strength and a very strong neck that allows him to take blows to the head without sustaining injury (and that same neck kept him from getting seriously injured or worse when he botched that flip onto Kurt Angle and he fell on his head). But honestly, that's all he had going for himself. Don't get me wrong, it worked and allowed him to get wins. But when he was really put to the test, he just wasn't capable of being a high level competitor. If he couldn't use his amateur wrestling moves and size/strength advantage to slam them down and get on top of them to use ground and pound with his strength and weight, he'd more than likely lose. He just didn't have much else to work with because he hadn't been training for very long, so he was quite 1 dimensional. If he had more mental toughness when it came to taking direct strikes from an opponent, weathering the storm and doing what he does best with taking them down and using ground and pound, he could have done a little better.

I don't even pay attention to boxing. I just look to the past for my boxing. The 1980s to the 1950s, the early 1900s, all the way back to the 1880s! Forget this new stuff. Guys today don't fight as much, and they're given easy fights to keep their record looking nice and pretty instead of being thrown to the wolves on a regular basis like they'd do to them in decades past so they get some grit about themselves and develop willpower and force themselves to fight like they fucking mean it. Some of those guys were so damn tough and tricky they'd be an absolutely frightening sight in today's ring. I'd love to see Jack Dempsey crush the Klitchko brothers (big men made Dempsey fight like he was possessed by a demon because he had a "get them before they get me" killer instinct, and the most brutal beating on video is when he beat huge Jess Willard into oblivion, literally shattering his face in several places and knocking his teeth out), or Joe Gans teach Mayweather what REAL boxing is (give him a lesson straight from the old school and beat that cocky attitude of his right out of him).

I worked out with Big Van one time here in an Atlanta gym. Very nice guy. I was in my early 20's, he seemed like he was probably mid 50's if I had to guess. Still waaaay stronger than me lol.

I was also spotted on the bench one time by the Night Stalker. Huge mo-fo right there.

[MrBlonde]

The Goldberg vs Regal situation was interesting. Regal damn near shot on Goldberg. He wasn't expecting that crazy shit so he was struggling to put on a good match. And yes, WCW got mad as hell and fired Regal for that too. Goldberg had some training in real fighting and he was highly athletic and strong, that is true.

Highly skilled smaller men can immobilize, counter, strangle, or bend something the way it's not supposed to bend when going against less skilled big strong aggressive men in a matter of seconds with proper technique that doesn't even involve the use of raw strength. So think what Regal would do to Goldberg.

Well I am not arguing with you really because in theory I agree. For instance if we were talking about a well trained smaller weaker man, but someone trained in the art of submission and catch wrestling, going against a huge , muscled , super strong guy who is only that, a big strong guy. Well I'd probably put my money on the smaller submission trained fighter. And for all I know maybe Regal was just that bad ass. I looked up his background and couldn't find anything that sold me on his "legit" training. Sure I can see his in ring moves and he seems to know a thing or two, but I can't find evidence of extensive submission art's training.

The reason I immediately questioned a shoot match between Goldberg and Regal is because Goldberg isn't or wasn't simply a big strong guy. He was trained in martial arts himself and from what I've heard quite extensively. Couple that with his huge size and strength, surprising quickness for a man his size and extreme athletic background ( making it to the NFL and sticking around proves great athletic ability), well I took all that into consideration. Regal is a bit unknown to me besides watching him perform in pro wrestling. I know Goldberg knows MMA and has a good base knowledge and physical tools Regal can not compete with. Sometimes even a well trained guy can't handle the extreme physicality of a beast of an individual. Brock Lesnar is a great example of this. When he busted on the scene he faced nothing but quality (even if out sized opponents). Frank Mir is a bjj wizard and 6'3" 250 pounds. Well he was 250 at the time of their fight, he decided to bulk up after his Brock beatdown and now tips the scales at 265. But he was a 250 pound BJJ black belt and he couldn't handle the raw strength and brute force that Brock brought to the table. I know Brock ain't Goldberg and Regal ain't Mir but the point I'm making is sometimes athletic ability and un-real size and strength proves too much for skill. I can only go on what I've read about Goldberg's background and training and a few glimpses of what seemed like real skills inside the ring, but judging off that I would have bet on Goldberg if they fought for real, he and Regal that is.

Hey it's all fun speculation though, none of us really know.

Did you ever see this Hawk interview? Being the huge fan that I am I thought I'd seen everything. But this was new to me. Just saw it a few weeks ago for the first time. He actually walked out and had to start talking before I realized it was him. Crazy what a hair cut and some make up can do. Someone in the comments section said it was 1998 but I don't know. Looks like he was back in pretty decent shape whenever it was.

This is a big time favorite of mine. Someone spent a helluva lot of time putting this together and to me being a fan of both sports it's hilarious. And might I add Jim Ross would spice things up nicely in the UFC. He can make anything exciting I think. Good Ole Jim Ross...

Oh and BTW Dino just incase you dont know (since you said you don't follow it closely) The Cain in the video is really Cain Velasquez, the man who ultimately took the belt from Brock. The commentary is perfect and seamless in it. It's really like Jim was calling that fight. Awesome.
