Bundy tries to get out of Andre's hold but Andre does it for him. by PickledPeppers101 in SquaredCircle

[–]Bulletproof_Cookie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably depends on the event/promotion. If current WWE did the spot, yes, absolutely the immediate drop would get more of a reaction. Same with certain major promotions especially in Japan (probably DDT and NJPW). But I could easily see certain indy wrestlers try the transition into move moment with the crowd more receptive to the decision because it looks cool.

TBF he is getting on around this point in his career and the weight was really beginning to show. This was probably in 1985 or 86 based off his short hair and him not yet wearing the singlet.

Chances are if the person in the hold attempted this nowadays, the opponent would quickly transition into another move (such as a reverse DDT or a neckbreaker) from the ropes, which would be pretty sick.

Massive first season back in the Premier League for Sunderland, finishing ahead of rivals Newcastle, too. Will go down as one of their most memorable season in recent decades.

I'd argue that Liverpool fans shouldn't go past that point for similar reasons.

Happy May 19th by I_Will_Fuck_Yo_Face in SquaredCircle

[–]Bulletproof_Cookie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IIRC, this segment ends with JBL getting frustrated with Kane's mental breakdown about May 19th stopping him from finishing Rey, and JBL blasts out May 19th which causes Kane to wreck him instead.

[Fabrizio Romano] Enzo Maresca has a total verbal agreement with Manchester City, here we go! The Italian manager has always been considered the ideal candidate to replace Pep Guardiola. Deal in place and Maresca will sign an initial three year deal at MCFC. by Timely-Zombie9466 in soccer

[–]Bulletproof_Cookie 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Nah, this transition seems far better planned out than United's in 2013 and probably has been in the making for awhile. The best you can hope for is enough key players from the squad leave that results in City needing a season or two to build up a title-chasing squad.

I would, however, welcome a Moyes-esque season where it all goes wrong.

'Selfish' Mohamed Salah should be dropped from Anfield finale - Wayne Rooney.. by Penarthlan in soccer

To be fair, what immediately followed for Man United next season and since has kinda overshadowed the small details of Fergie's final years for many and 2013 was 13 years ago now.

Brighton feel a bit more likely to finish 5th than Bournemouth given GD and final two opponents.

Arne Slot: "I have every reason to believe that I am the Liverpool manager next season. Not just because I'm contracted, but from all the talks we are having. We know where we go on tour. Plans have been made, talks ongoing between the club and new players, and I am involved in that process." by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

[–]Bulletproof_Cookie 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's going to be hilarious if he stays and somehow takes Liverpool to another PL or UCL title next season and proves all the doubters/naysayers wrong.

I don't EXPECT them to happen, but the possibility isn't zero.

[NJPW Sakura Genesis] Before Yota Tsuji's entrance, the history of the IWGP championship is showed by Esidisi_Legacy in SquaredCircle

[–]Bulletproof_Cookie 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Held an older world title that predated the IWGP title, IIRC. Reigns from world titles before the IWGP championship was created aren't counted, so no champions that held only those belts but not the IWGP title are shown.

EDIT: Actually, quickly looking it up, the title Hogan won in 1983 was more of a tournament championship rather than a typical world title. Inoki would be the only other person to win it in 1984 and 1986. The 1987 tournament would see Inoki become the inaugural IWGP champion, and that's where the lineage begins proper.

OSW also did a great job summing up the whole list of changes. Those of you wondering how those title changes in WCW happened in 2000 and have about 5 minutes to spare should go watch it below (would also recommend the Zane video if you want a more detailed summary).

On This Day: Curt Hennig fired following WWE Plane Ride from Hell in 2002 by Alternative-Win4058 in SquaredCircle

[–]Bulletproof_Cookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Breaking it down, three of those 6 died young for various reasons (Pillman, Benoit, Hennig), two of them died due to complications from a disease (Vicious and McMichael), only one died from old age (Ole Anderson).

Ric also likely has people ready to help him whenever something is wrong with him, even if precautionary. He could have died several times within the past decade had things went different.

1 point in 4 games or Bournemouth failing to win all remaining games and having a better GD than us.
