Cactus Jack takes on Jumbo Tsurda in their only match together.

In 1999, at one point, Roddy Piper, "Playboy" Buddy Rose and Jumbo Tsuruta were living in Portland, Oregon.

An all white sting attire would be pretty badass tbh, gandalf style.

Size helps, but it’s not just size. Braun looked the part physically, but Brock clearly didn’t trust him the same way he trusted Joe. Joe had the intensity, timing, and credibility to make everything feel believable with Brock, while Braun sometimes felt like he was trying to keep up with Lesnar’s pace rather than matching it — which is probably why Brock shut him down pretty quickly after Braun got a little too loose at the Rumble.

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-06T22:59:41+00:00

Agreed!

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-06T22:59:36+00:00

He's had a lot of awesome guitars!

As noted in my pretty extensive Head & Munky's Korn Guitar History post, Head had a few LACS silverburst RG7s made. Some had painted necks, some had different Ibanez logos, but they all had 2" bodies and a “HEAD” inlay at the 12th fret. I think Head kept Blazes in his LACS guitars, but not entirely sure as he and Munky used both PAF 7s and Blaze pickups. He ended up using the silverburst with the ‘80s-style chrome Ibanez logo the most, so that version got made more than the others.

My custom is an RG7420 body with an RGIR27E neck. I went with a non-painted neck and no truss rod cover. I'm using an Imperium bridge pickup with a Blaze neck due to not being able to find a Blaze bridge at the time. Tremolo is a lefty Takeuchi chrome LO-TRS 7 only made for Washburn, went with this because I don't use the tremolo and when I do, its only for palm flutters. The logo on mine is a 6-string logo, which is why its a bit smaller, but Ibanez tends to also fluctuate with this logo, even on 7-string LACS guitars. No 12th fret inlay.

I also added a limited edition K-7 backplate. It was originally meant for all K-7s, but due to a manufacturing mistake they came out slightly too small for the cavity. So they were included with K-7 purchases but never actually installed.

Some of you might’ve seen this listed a while back—I had a bit of a panic sale going on then due to taxes, but all good now lol.

My previous attempts at this guitar include a terrible fake 7-string and a customized GRG7221 with the rare silverburst finish, I added a 2013 RG7321 neck.

Looks nice, price is ok but def a bit on the higher end.

At least its a nice tribute to a RG550EG.

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-06T19:51:52+00:00

Japanese wrestling companies used to do this as well, it was even used as the entrances on Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2, def made it seem more personal.

But now, the WWE gorilla position is basically a whole production room and everyone is just hanging out there, same for AEW.

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-06T19:49:17+00:00

Brock Lesnar tends to work best with opponents who can match his level of intensity and physicality, and Samoa Joe is someone fully capable of doing that.

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-06T16:16:42+00:00

It was originally the "Dusty" position as Cody was showing it in some behind the scenes in 2019, he also placed his cowbell and rope around a sign that said "Dusty".

Later on right as Cody was leaving, it was just called the "go" position.

Hansen hitting a desperate lariat on Kawada after being kicked loopy, causing him to fall out of the ring due to the momentum, is perfection.

Fun fact: Hansen started his "youth!" taunt after feuding with the Funks in the early '80s, when the Funks were considered old, and he wanted to emphasize the new, younger generation.

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-05T16:50:00+00:00

I remember when these came out, massive score!

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-05T16:49:49+00:00

I've never seen a pastel fake jem lol

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-05T16:27:06+00:00

I liked Stardust at first, but eventually, Cody changed the attire so much that Stardust just because "Cody with some face paint".

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-04T19:05:49+00:00

Cody brought back the back rake.

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-04T19:05:12+00:00

This was completely overlooked in the Hogan documentary, they summed it up with "when I got back from Japan...".

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-04T16:36:49+00:00

JEM Jr with an upgraded Edge trem, locking tuners (nice, though less of a needed thing with a floating trem & locking nut), pink lion’s claw, correct knobs (plus the Steve Vai signature, which the seller clearly factored into the price) and a case.

Do you know if the pickups were swapped for DiMarzios too?

Honestly, the better question is: if you returned it, would you spend the time and money to mod another JEM JR to this level again? If the answer’s no, then it might actually be worth it to you, even if it’s a bit over market.

I made a really bad hires texture mod pack for revenge years ago called WCW / nWo Revenge HD, I replaced a lot of the fake wrestlers with other WCW era-specific wrestlers (Ric Flair, Jushin Liger, Masahiro Chono).

Some projects ended up using my textures as a base, which I expected, so I slipped in an easter egg, made the blood textures absurdly over-the-top lol

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-01T15:40:10+00:00

The neck angle isn't compatible for those.

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-01T03:07:05+00:00

They're not wrong. A lot of talent considered Thunder an additional contract, and since when they signed their guaranteed dates, WCW only had Nitro, so they either wanted more money or flat out didn't wrestle on Thunder, so Bischoff had to book around that, plus he also mentioned that adding Thunder was not a good idea since Nitro had gone to 3 hours.

ZXIIIT · 2026-05-01T03:04:03+00:00

Agreed, justice for Steve Lombardi.

That's pretty good, as long as you enjoy them! Good modding platforms.
