I vaguely recall one arcade had Superstars and it was super glitchy and the colors had run from the game so it looked like they bootlegged it. When Wrestlefest come out it had a special gigantic screen type set up and it made it look real cool. Haven't seen it since so maybe the arcade customised it to look that way as it wasn't in a normal cabinet.

:lol : at Gene like Bob Ryder.

I'm just saying intergender matches are so common now on indies it doesn't stand out at all.

OK that's cool. I know Joey Ryan does it and remember YEARS back about some women wrestlers doing matches with dudes on a paid website so didn't know it was that much a thing nowadays. I think James is going for that Andy Kaufman type angle. I think I'm Attitude Era WWF that would have been a fun angle but now I doubt they'd touch that men vs women deal with a barge pole.

Lucha Underground popularized it to the segment of wrestling fans that go to indie shows so a lot of indies have been doing it a few years.

Unless it's comedy like a wimpy manager getting beaten up by a woman I hate them. They never should have had Chyna wrestle men, she should have been a killer in the women's division and just doing run ins on men.

When like Beulah beat up Fonzie that was funny but uncomfortable when Fonzie has the upperhand so I agree the men vs women matches have no place. They come across as weird too and some dudes like get off on them.
:psyduck:

I think had Chyna been around now it would have been much better for her. Back then she had like limited opponents so they had to put her against the guys I guess. I think there was Sable, Luna, Jackie, Tori, Terri and Trish coming in 2000 but she was more a valet then. Lita too, didn't she join in 1999?. Joanie in All Japan women wrestling would be better.

Right, but it's not like they couldn't have hired women wrestlers. And they didn't even have to be talented, just needed to bump for her like TNA knockouts bumped for Awesome Kong.

I guess they could have, but the women's division wasn't really high on their agenda. Only really Sable and Chyna were the priorities of the time. Now you have Sasha, Asuka, Charlotte, Alexa, Becky, Nattie, Naomi to name a few and the division is much more competitive based. Before it was 99% T&A eye candy focused. I'd say like even with Kelly Kelly that element was still there so its only really the past 5 or so years there was a real transition into actual competitive matches. Mainly it started in NXT.
Plus part of Chynas appeal was she could beat up on the dudes. So that was part of the 9th Wonder gimmick too.

The news story is Jericho randomly wearing a wig in public.

But then you also have Baron like "Yeah, laugh about me going bald now, losers!"

Jericho is Mr Furley from Three's Company. Christian is Sonny Crockett. It was for some fundraiser.

Batista is just Fuckin' Big Dave Batista, he doesn't need a costume. Unless he dressed as Sean Oliver, that would be obscure but hilarious.

STEPHANIE, FOR GOD'S SAKE LEARN TO SMILE WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE FREDDY KRUGER!

Even HHH always gives a look like "Look, she's trying, folks." in their pictures.

She needs to cut back on the botox. It's not like anyone will notice any wrinkles in her forehead when she's next to HHH. You could run a record needle over his forehead and it would play a tune.

The segment with that kid was nice.
