Can anyone tell me who this dude is with Grado, the one in a TalkWrestlingOnline shirt.

That's right, a TWO shirt. In the midst of a bunch of ICW guys.

 

Inno has confirmed I've been a "numptie" (his words, not mine) and that's only bloody Noam Dar.

 

I'm such a bad UK Forum mod... :(

Turn in your badge. My excuse is I've never seen a Noam that size before. Arf.

Also, ICW fans? Every single person in the photo is talent :lol

 

From left to right:

 

Kid Fite, BT Gunn, The Wee Man (who's real name is Neil btw, which form some reason cracks me up :lol), Grado, Wolfgang, James Scott, Noam Dar, Liam Thomson and his broad Carmel Jacob.

 

I spoke to Noam for a while in London, I wish I knew he had TWO connections! :lol

 

I love that he's still rocking a free t-shirt that he got years ago, I appreciate that kinda dedication to not giving a f*ck about appearance.

I was just going to say that.

 

Fans?? :lol

[Guest Magic]

To be fair to poor Chris, they don't exactly ooze star power, do they?

 

That gilet James Scott.... :lol

 

And Kid Fite looks like a tourist on some kind of sight seeing tour.

 

Except Grado of course, Grado is legit!

[dsrchris 190]

I've literally just realised I typed fans, when Grado even says "ICW Troops" on the photo. I'm a f*cking idiot.

 

I even recognised Kid Fite (who I've worked a match with before) and still typed fans.

 

I really am a fool.

 

Kam, I'm handing back my mod powers. I don't deserve them. Either of them. Yikes.

 

EDIT: For the record, I meant "guys" not fans. The last sentence was supposed to be all ecstatic about an ICW guy being spotted in a TWO shirt, and I managed to fluff it by not only insulting the ICW guys by calling them fans, but by forgetting they even took part in TWO's 10th Birthday celebrations.

 

Well....f*ck.

Is there an origin to where the term "Parts Unknown" came from?

[ViciousPrism 177]

Closest I could find.

 

"The standard professional wrestling ring introduction consists of four parts: hometown, height, weight, and name. However, there are some characters where one might not want to give a hometown; after all, if you have a quasi-mystical, made of iron, badass loner, it would probably rob him of some of his mystique if he was from Joisey. The solution? Announce him as being "from Parts Unknown".

 

Parts Unknown, simply put, is wrestling speak for "we don't know where the hell this guy's from." However, it's taken on a life of its own in wrestling fandom, where it's become popular to depict Parts Unknown as a real place that's home to some very unreal personalities. Possibly as a result of this, most wrestling promoters have changed from using Parts Unknown to using more descriptive, though equally non-specific, hometowns. "

Was the breaking of Kayfabe best for business?

[dsrchris 190]

That's pretty subjective. If you want to ask that question, that's probably a thread all unto itself.

 

EDIT: And now it is!

 

Next question...

 

Was Ken Shamrock the first person to bring "tapping out" instead of audible admissions of submission to the WWE? I don't remember anyone doing it before him, but now I can't remember any time in the last decade (other than an "I Quit" match, obviously) when anyone verbally gave up instead of tapping out?

Taz was doing it in ECW in 1995, but Shamrock was the first in WWE.

In "real life", it's a used as the mildly inaccurate English translation for the Latin phrase "terra incognita", which means "unknown lands", and is the official label for parts of a map that are left blank because they haven't been explored.

Last time I watched wrestling (2 weeks ago) Batista had a beard. Is this because he's going to join the Wyatts once it gets a bit fuller?

 

Cheers!

[Guest John Hancock]

Everyone has a beard now.

How much did ECW have to pay Metallica for the use of "Enter Sandman"?

[ViciousPrism 177]

Standard licensing fees for broadcast and live events. With the Motorhead version for DVD and TV. Cheaper I guess.
