The most '90s WWF thing about this picture is that Davey only has the THIRD worst pill problem out of the guys in this shot.
Anvil was on a per date deal since he was so unreliable. He once called up the office when he and Bret were tag champs and claimed he'd have to miss dates because he legitimately caught cat scratch fever- this is not a joke or a typo. Anvil is the only guy the Iron Sheik said could keep up with him doing all the drugs from a through z. Fairly sure Anvil cannot be killed by conventional weapons. --- Post Added -- Jan 10, 2018, --- Anvil is up there with Scott Hall, Jake, Iron Sheik and Jannetty as the premium wastes of money in wrestler death pools.
I met Neidhart on the same weekend that I met Jannetty AND Sheik and of the three, Anvil was the most "with it" but you could just see in his eyes that he wasn't straight. Funnily enough, Anvil actually has a really smart, sly sense of humour and seemed like a cool guy but his fannypack is just loaded with "gimmicks" and the reputation of him getting fucked up at the bar was pretty rampant even in 2011.
Kinda like they put a blindfold on, rummage around in the WWE action figure bargain bin at ToysRUs, check to see if that talent has any pending domestic matters, ignore those findings regardless aaaaand immediately sign and push said WWE reject to the moon.
Every fucking indy promotion has their own goddamn original world title belt made and truthfully, they can run a bit costly. But goddamn with TNA running with that goddamn IMPACT sticker across the GWF belt because they're too cheap to get another one, I can't even. --- Post Added -- Jan 11, 2018, --- No shit, if he's X-Division champ within six months, I won't be shocked in the slightest given their obliviousness to optics, but I'd like to give Callis and D'Amore some slack because a lot of the most dumbfuck decisions were made by the old guard. --- Post Added -- Jan 11, 2018, --- Dave's Jericho/Omega blindspot comin' in hot today lol. I love Dave but he's gonna eat a ton of shit for rating this one higher than Dunne/Bate from Takeover. Goddamn. I mean, I really liked the match for what it was, but it wasn't Bret/Austin levels of psychology by a long shot and for all of Jericho's creativity, he isn't a five star worker anymore and hasn't been since his HBK run.
Dunne/Bate was streets ahead of jericho/omega. They were both great and both incredibly entertaining buuuuuuuut....... Also, has Aries always had a wonky eye or is that a result of Nak pushing his shit in?
Oh, that was Aries getting the wrong end of some strongstyle and shattered his orbital so now he's got that HBK deal going. Normally I'd feel really bad for a guy like that, but Aries is an infamous cunt backstage, so fuck that guy. --- Post Added -- Jan 11, 2018, --- Also, Gabe Sapolsky being officially signed as a WWE "consultant" has gotta win "least surprising news" of the week lol. Basically, between Gabs and Regal, there really doesn't seem to be a need for this gigantic performance centre when you have thorough, intelligent talent scouts who can bring you the best talent from around the world, but that's just me hahaha. --- Post Added -- Jan 11, 2018, --- "Fake":
This one would totally draw 10K...but unless the big names are working pro bono, this would cost a scrootch too much lol.
