Inspired by a Mick Foley facebook post, on the last episode of 3 Count Radio, Derek and I picked the WWE All Stars for 2015. We divided it into Faces and Heels and picked 3 singles wrestlers, 1 tag team, and 1 female. Here are the teams.
Cena v Owens 2 better than the original? Dusty Rhodes tribute, World Title Ladder matches, and our new terrible Mr. Money in the Bank all discussed this week.
In this episode of 3 Count Radio... Mike, Derek, and Ryanne talk about what they believe was the match of the year in John Cena vs. Kevin Owens. They also recap the rest of the PPV, as well as talk about the goings on in NXT and the cluster that is TNA on Destination America.
Mike and Derek bring in their old 3 Count Radio running buddy Brad to talk about the last few weeks in wrestling. We cover happenings on Raw and do predictions for Elimination Chamber as well as recap WWE Payback and NXT Unstoppable.
There is something unsettling about the Ultimate Warrior.
Maybe it was the way he shook the ropes like a madman. Maybe it was because it
sounded like all of his promos were written by Gary Busey. But mostly it was
the fact that he was stone cold insane. There have been many wrestlers that
were supposed to “strike fear” into the hearts of their opponents and fans …
but the Ultimate Warrior did so ... and it was for reals.
THE TOP 10 REASONS THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR WAS THE SCARIEST
WRESTLER OF ALL TIME
10. His facepaint
was made from the pooled blood of the pig he sacrificed before every match …
and food coloring.
9. Cocaine.
Was it being amped up, or trying the shake the feeling back into his arms?
8. He was sent from God
to rise to the top of professional wrestling using the worst finisher of
all time.
7. His arm tassels cut
off bloodflow to the “Please doesn’t hurt people” part of his brain.
6. To This
Day … He is the only man to have ever Buried Triple H, at Wrestlemania 12.
At This Exact Moment, Triple H Declaired "Never Again Good Sirs"
5. Every hairdresser he
ever had went missing, as no one was allowed to know the secret of his
perfectly feathered hair.
4. He would often create
cyclones backstage from all the spinning during promos.
I'm shocked there hasn't been a Hurricane Ultimate Warrior Yet
3. Rick Rude was the only
man ever to scare him, as his only weakness was seeing his face on another
man’s crotch.
2. His mother was a bull
mastiff … hence all the growling.
Say what you want about his balls ... he's the only one to have a Robin's Egg Blue WWF Title
1. Parts Unknown did not
refer to his hometown, but instead the steroid-mangled mess between his legs.
No finishing move is or will ever be as amazing as Hulk Hogan's "Atomic Leg Drop.”
We all know the formula … Punch Hogan in the face … Hogan shakes his head and points his finger at you … Hogan hulks up and hits you with the big boot … and then lands the most devastating move in wrestling history to pin you for a 3-count.
How can a simple leg drop be so effective you ask? Well … Hulk Hogan has a few trade secrets that helps make this move so incredible. I smell a Top 10 list…
I Know this is an old list ... but what better way to kick off a new section of 3countradio.com than with a classic!
Top 10 Reasons The Atomic Leg Drop is the Most Devastating Move in Wrestling History
10. He hasn’t washed the back of his right knee in 30 years.
9. It has the power of two men, as Brutus the Barber Beefcake was absorbed into the leg after a particularly brutal botch in ’88.
8. The sweat dripping off the leg is 85% steroid, leading to instant testicle shrinkage upon contact.
7. If you BELIEVE in the leg-drop … the 3 count will come
6. The Big Boot before the leg drop is placed in the exact spot on the face that causes a man to job to a leg drop.
5. He had his knee cap coated with lead from the same place where Lex Lugar got the steel plate for his forearm.
4. Hulkamania is an actual medical condition of mass hysteria where an arena full of people are convinced the maneuver is “epic.”
3. Hogan’s knee is full of so much surgical metal it reacts magnetically with the iron in your blood, forcing your shoulders to the mat for exactly 3 seconds.
2. Two Words: Cankle Torque.
1. Upon landing the Leg Drop ... Hogan inadvertently leaks out the "Dusty Old Man Fart" he had been holding in all match.
