The Wrestling Thread

Sean Waltman has more wrestling talent in his pinkie than both Outlaws combined.

[Menegrothx]

Of course he would of been there. I'm pretty sure he sits by the phone all day getting high just hoping Triple H will call him because his friends with actual talent are going to be on TV and they need the expert crotch chopper.

X-Pac is a million times better wrestler than Kevin Nash (not that most wrestlers apart from Great Khali aren't). And he's better than Billy Gunn and Road Dogg.

Chyna wasn't the only ex-member of D-X to star in porn. I'm thinking WWE probably wants to distance themselves from both of them for that reason.

What difference does it make in the "WWE Universe" though? John Cena rapped about people starving on concentration camps, how he hates illegal immigrants, called other wrestlers gay/slut (and about STDs too) etc years ago and he's the face of company. Other DX members and wrestlers in general did a lot of risque stuff during the Atittude and Ruthless Aggression eras but yet they are still allowed to represent the PG era WWE. What a wrestler does in real life (apart from Benoit level stuff) shouldn't really matter. How would you know if some wrestler has done porn if they don't intentionally make an issue out of it? You don't, unless you intentionally try to search stuff like that.

I guess that's how all you define better. Better in ring performer? Yeah. Better draw/star? No way.

If he wasn't in the kliq, he never would of been anything.

Incidentally, Pac was always my favorite member of DX. He was their wild card, the sneaky one. I also thought he embodied DX's "attitude" more than any other member of the group. Chyna was the muscle, Hunter was the voice, The New Age Outlaws were the show men,Pac was the soul.

The Attitude Era and the PG Era are so far apart when it comes to risque stuff. Any wrestler could get away with a large number of things then that the WWE wouldn't touch today.

That's why I thought that. And I know, for a fact, that WWE has deliberatly cut ties with Chyna for that reason. But apparantly, as GamerforLife pointed out, the don't seem to be bothered by X-Pac's involvement in it.

Anyone that follows wrestling online, knows that Chyna and X-Pac have been in porn without "intentionally trying to search it out". If you're getting your wrestling news straight from WWE only, you're getting a very filtered and one-sided view of what they want you to know.

Chyna burned plenty of bridges on the way out IIRC, X-Pac did not.

Chyna and x-pac filmed porn? Ew.

Ewwwwwwww.

I knew they dabbled in reality tv and also were guests on the Howard Stern show. But ew.

Probably showing my wrestling ignorance, but is it common knowledge among fans that they hakied pankied for loot? And was it a private tape that went viral(I'm not searching for it)?

I guess that's how all you define better. Better in ring performer? Yeah. Better draw/star? No way.

The Cena is the best draw in the business. The Great Khali could draw a lot of people if they held an event in India. Call of Duty is one of the best selling game franchises at the moment. Yay for the lowest common denominator.
Biggest Draw!=Best performer
Good performer= has good wrestling skills, character/personality AND charisma & mic/promo skills. And being the best performer in the business (Chris Jericho for example) does not guarantee that you get pushed to the top
Best performer!=Best wrestler. There are plenty of indy guys, Japanese wrestlers etc who don't have a character (or atleast one that's intresting) and/or who don't care about talking and doing promos who are better wrestlers than mega stars like John Cena, The Rock, Stone Cold, CM Punk etc.

The Attitude Era and the PG Era are so far apart when it comes to risque stuff. Any wrestler could get away with a large number of things then that the WWE wouldn't touch today.

If they have a problem with what wrestlers do outside the wrestling business, then it's hypocritical to ignore the fact that some of the wrestlers in their current roster were doing outrageous stuff some years ago in the same company. The porn and the wrestling aren't in any way connected, so that 12 year old kid who casually watches the show won't come across it accidentally. But he can see clean-cut "superstars" of the current PG era saying and doing some outrageous stuff if he watches an older episodes of the show.

I know that. But if WWE wants to protect it's public image so that they won't cause any "Won't some body please think of the children?!" outcry, going out of their way to do stuff like that comes off as suspicious (just what are they hiding?). Sure the older fans who do research can find this stuff out, but casual, young viewers of the show will never know aslong as WWE decides to ignore the fact and act like they're any other wrestler in the business.

Chyna and x-pac filmed porn? Ew.

Ewwwwwwww.

If you're not down with D-Generation X porn I've got two words for ya

[Gamerforlife]

It's worth mentioning that Chyna was still doing porn during her most recent TNA appearance

Also, I think wrestling insiders have long known about Chyna/Pac. Apparently, she was kind of abusive towards him from what I've heard. She's quite a masculine woman in more ways than one

"Aces & Eights are the group that's going to take over pro-wrestling!"

...BWA HA HA HA!!!!

Bully Ray is the "higher power"? Pathetic. And the rest of the group is even worse. The only guys worth even mentioning are Bully Ray and Mr. Anderson.
