Steinermania 287: HE'S FAT

[A Pennysworth]

Let us not forget this figure four

Shawn Michaels had a weird one too

I don't mind Shawn's it's very him. Is that Arn Anderson having to sell that weak ass Hulk Hogan Figure 4?

Fuck, finally I learn what the hell that is. I thought it was the Warriors guy at a weird angle, then I thought I kept thinking it was oddly looking like Stevie Richards.

Here's video of the calf injury to Wyatt, don't know if it's been posted yet or not.

What did he do to himself?

I can't see anything that he did that could have caused an injury unless he was fucked up from something like drinking and partying all night so he's got a magnesium depletion PLUS not warmed up.

What's the news behind Bray Wyatt's injury? Is it a shoot?

 

[Sexy]

Real talk, would y'all consider this artist quality work so far?

i wouldnt pay for this 'artist' do anything for me. if it was free i wouldnt turn it down, it seems like they have some talent and can definitely improve. id tell them to keep working hard but not quit their day job.

so, its okay.

Finally getting around to watching Invasion Attack. Just finished the Kushida vs. Will Ospreay match. The match was really good and should be shown to anyone who thinks junior heavyweights/cruiserweights only do "flippy shit" and have no psychology.

As of writing this, I've only just finished the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship match. I'd say so far I've enjoyed the Kushida vs. Ospreay match, but that could change depending on the quality of the main event.

Occasionally, usually taking current stories in different directions, not done the "Give me two guys, I'll write something" for a while, although, I'm sure I could rustle something up.

Any chance of AJ going over on Reigns at the next ppv?

.0001% chance of a dq win. But "going over"? Nope.

I wonder if he's tappin' dat ?

Has to be. I'd be stunned if he wasn't.

Yeah he couldn't even run the ropes properly. His insanity gimmick in late WCW was entertaining though.

I enjoyed David wearing the wCw Mayhem t shirts while wrestling.

Who's taking the photos of "Airport"?
They're not selfies, someone else is actually in the airport with him!

If I had to guess, I'd say; (in order of least to most likely)

5) Wife/Girlfriend
4) Friend
3) Family member (brother, cousin etc)
2) Complete stranger, whoever happens to be nearby in the airport
1) Mother

I think that it is 3. I have seen other pics of him with wrestlers and a dude who looks a lot like him. But who is taking those pictures?!?!?!

Here's video of the calf injury to Wyatt, don't know if it's been posted yet or not.

Fragile.

Listening to the Chael podcast with Austin. Austin mentioned that he saw Erick Rowan backstage after being jobbed to The Rock and noted that Rowan had a sheepish look on his face afterwards.

Chael is a Reigns fan. Their take on the main event was spot on.

Thanks. Like I said, it's not exactly close to finished. I was just trying to guage it.

The Jim Cornette Experience

In an attempt not to get caught up in a childish Twitter war, or go on a Podcast and get into a heated discussing with a man I do not know, nor respect, I am going to calmly address my issues with the co-host of Jim Cornette's Podcast (The Jim Cornette experience) here.
If you are unaware last week on the JCE Jimmy and his co-host were discussing WrestleMania. Jim hadn't seen the show so his co-host was running it down for him. In his review of the show he made several statements about my friend Chris Jericho that I felt were disrespectful, completely false, and just plain ignorant. In response I Tweeted that Jim Cornette's co-host was being a complete Ass-Hat and was a classic never been there, talking out his ass. According to my Twitter time line said co-host took me to task on this week's JCE. I have no intention of listening to this week's JCE but thought I should at least clarify my statements and let everyone else judge who is the Ass-Hat.

The statements I took exception to were his reasons for not liking Jericho anymore, which came up when they were discussing the Jericho vs. Styles match. I will address each statement and why I took exception to them and let you be the judge.

He made fun of Jericho's chest and said it looked like he had a bad breast reduction and this for some reason is justification of not liking a guy anymore. Well for the record Jericho's chest does look odd and the reason for that is he suffered a muscle tear in his chest. I'm not sure when it became acceptable to make fun of a 25 year veteran of this sport because of an injury he suffered or how said injury should change your ability to enjoy his matches, but I'm calling this pretty much the definition of Ass-hat behaviour. I wonder if Mr. Co-host enjoys Kofi's work at all.

Mr. Co-host also stated that Jericho has new lifts in his boots, which are making him clumsier than he used to be. Now I'm curious if Mr. Co-host has spoken first hand to Jericho's boot guy or perhaps Jericho himself to verify this matter of fact statement, which I am almost 100% sure if False. Chris is a good friend of mine and I've seen his old boots as well as his current boots (I'm not even sure they are new) and they seem to be the exact same to me. If I am incorrect and Mr. Co-host has actually spoken to the guy who made Jericho's boots and knows for a fact he has added additional lifts to them for Jericho's current WWE run, then I will apologize. I'll even come on the Experience to do so. If he hasn't and in fact has zero knowledge of Jericho's boots and was just making a short joke at the expense of a Wrestling HOFer, then I again call Ass-hat.

He compared Jericho's program with AJ Styles to the burial of young talent in WCW, and basically called Jericho a hypocrite for complaining about it in WCW and perpetrating it in WWE. This is of course a complete bullshit thing to say. I suggest Mr Co-host go back and watch some WCW and rethink his statement. The Jericho vs. AJ program ended with AJ pinning Jericho with the Style's Clash in the middle of the ring on RAW. While I too thought AJ should have won at Mania comparing this program to say Hogan vs. Kidman in WCW or that absurd segment on Nitro where after winning my third consecutive Championship Kevin Nash came out, gave me the big boot, and proceeded to cut a promo about someone else, is ridiculous.

Cornette called him out on the Mania finish stating that Jericho isn't the one booking the finishes and you can't blame him. To this Mr Co-host stated that he was sure (confident, not sure exact word) that Jericho has enough creative control to get Vince to change the finish if he really wanted to. As per the previous point, not actively arguing to do a job is a far cry from actively politicking and booking programs to bury talent and put yourself over. Even if Jericho made no attempt to change the finish, which I have no knowledge of one way or the other, this still isn't on him. Furthermore I'm curious what kind of firsthand knowledge Mr Co-host has where he is confident Jericho has the stroke to change a Mania finish if he so chooses. I suspect he has zero knowledge of this and was once again talking out of his ass. If he does have such knowledge and can factually state that Jericho could have switched the finish if he wanted to, then again I will be happy to apologize. I wonder if Mr. Co-host will do the apologizing if he doesn't.

The last point I want to address was my statement that Mr-Co-host was a never been there talking out of his ass. I could see many people thinking this is akin too "He's never taken a bump, therefore he can't have an opinion". That is not what this statement was, this statement was a simple FACT. When Mr Co-host was talking about Jerihco's ability to convince Vince to change a Mania finish he was quite literally a Never been there, talking out of his ass. I don't believe Mr Co-host has ever been backstage at a WrestleMania, sat down with Vince, and tried to convince him to change his mind about a finish. If he hasn't then he's never been there and was talking out of his ass. Now once again if in fact he has negotiated a Mania finish with Vince, or even been in the room while someone else has, then I am the one who is mistaken.

That's pretty much where I stand on the issue, and won't comment on it again. If Jimmy reads this and his co-host does in fact have the first hand knowledge to back up his statement, or feels that dumping unfair blame on, or making fun of a 25 year veteran of this sport just for shits and giggles is acceptable then I will happily come on the Jim Cornette Experience and apologise to his co-host. If Jimmy agrees with me on these issues, I call on him to see if his co-host is man enough to apologize for his statements a week ago, and potential anything offensive he may have said this week.

What'd they say?

Basically the match should have been shorter, more action, less selling from Reigns. More of Trips/Reigns doing their trademark spots rather than a lengthy "classic".
