Steve Blackman and Ken Shamrock, circa 2003 I think
Why did Blackman start on Shamrock with a Kendo stick in the first place? Usually these things at least have a bit of a backstory, however soap opera it may be

I remember this
Blackman got out of the crowd didn't he in some WWE super stunt.

Basically, yeah
All the way through his walk towards the ring I was thinking "what the fuck is he doing there?"

All it amounted to was the WWE wanting to pair off arguably the two hardest men - if you met them in real life - on their roster, and Blackman had zero personality so they couldn't get him to do a rant to camera about it

I kind of stopped watching when the Legion of Doom got to about 80!

It won't be the last time
that a 'blackman' acts in an unprovoked and violent manner, I'll wager.

Monty, my dear
I would like to give my opinion on your previous thread but it's so long I'll do it here.
My favourite disney film as a kid was 101 Dalmatians, the one with all of the dogs and none of the Princesses. It makes me cringe when girls my age are still into shit like that.
Me and my sister had barbies at that age, but we were never really interested. There's not a lot you can do with them really and the train sets, tool kits and duplo were always a hell of a lot more interesting. Plus my parents put more emphasis on books, and playing outside. By the age of about eight, I was reading Agatha Christie.
You can't force her interests, but just make sure she has more interesting, stimulating stuff available to her as well as shitty plastic stick figures, and I bet she'll lose interest in the dolls pretty fast.

^this
I'll throw my opinion in too. Disney princesses and Barbies are supremely shite. My sister's 6, and she hates all that stuff, being more into dinosaurs and space (as was I). However, her grandma insists on buying her 'girls toys', like pretend kitchens and stuff. It makes me want to cunt-punch her.

Steve Blackman was solid,
Ken Shamrock just used to scream and beat his chest.

Those were the glory days of WWFE

Steve Blackman vs Shane McMahon was superb, especially the end of the match

Far earlier, about 1999 that.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:26, Reply)

Agreed
I forget timsecales but when Triple H and Rock were locking horns as leaders of D-Generation X and The Nation, that was fucking boss

About 97-98 I think that was.
I still watch it now, after a break of about 5 years, fucking love it.

I haven't seen it for ages
and consequently have lost track of practically everyone. Am stunned to see that the 'Taker is still inspiring epic fear after all this time
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:50, Reply)

He's got a year left in him, maybe
But after that, he's gone. HBK is gone, Triple H is nearly gone, Rock went years back, same with Stone Cold, there's pretty much none left that I grew up watching!

TNA seems to have more recognisable faces than the WWE nowadays

(TheColonel, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:53, Reply)

But they're pretty much all either too old, or on drugs
Kevin Nash, Sting, Hulk Hogan, Rick Flair, etc
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:56, Reply)

That's just sad
Ric Flair hasn't looked like a wrestler for years. I remember him having a match against Vince McMahon a few years back and Vinnie Mac was twice the size of him.

HBK's return a few years ago was a bit sad, watching the likes of Jericho and the mighty Triple H lose to a burnt-out shell of a former legend was frankly laughable

I've no idea who he is, but I'll bet Kendo Nagasaki would have him.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 12:06, Reply)

HBK won match of the year for several years after he came back, according to wikipedia they were
PWI Match of the Year (2004) vs. Chris Benoit and Triple H at WrestleMania XX
PWI Match of the Year (2005) vs. Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 21
PWI Match of the Year (2006) vs. Vince McMahon in a No Holds Barred match at WrestleMania 22
PWI Match of the Year (2007) vs. John Cena on Raw on April 23
PWI Match of the Year (2008) vs. Ric Flair at WrestleMania XXIV
PWI Match of the Year (2009) vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXV

I've seen most of these matches, and they were superb.
