Starts around 3:00
5. Spirit Bomb - Takes too long and always works.. That's no fun.
4. Big Tree Cannon - Trunks uses it and I like it because it's 2 separate beams.
3. Masenko - A Nemekian move but Gohan uses it over the Kamehameha.
2. Hell Zone Grenade - Piccolo uses it and he just throws tons of energy balls in the air, then squeezes all of them in to hit the enemy at the same time. Awesome.
1. Super Ghost Kamazaki Attack - Gotenks uses it and he spits out little "ghosts" that are basically touch sensitive grenades that resemble Gotenks. He then sends them at an opponent and when they try to fight them off, they explode on contact. Amazing!
Man.. Is ther anything more homosexual than the premise of wrestling? Its a soap opera about men in mostly underwear that are always grabbing and flipping each other.. An occasional cheating scandal and a fake arrest.. Then there are the super sexy women that are only shown once a week...
That being said, I was addicted to wrestling until I was about 12.
Yeah, wrestling attire is questionable with the shorts but thats been one of the standards ever since wrestling first started. Not all wrestlers wear that attire but even if they do, would you really sit there saying "man, look at that shlong!" ... because I don't. If I watch a MMA fight, usually they wear shorts and when they aren't throwing kicks or punches, they have their legs wrapped around the other person trying to make them tap out. Sometimes they can go the majority of the round just locked on top of the opponent trying to make them sumbit. But that's not homosexual right? This is no shot at you but I just always hated that "Wrestling is homosexual" arguement because it's honestly not.
Wrestling is a soap opera for men. The stories are scripted and the outcomes can be easily predicted (although not always if the writing staff has some creativity with the storyline). Yet, we have a BILLION dollar industry led by a man whose revolutionized the entertainment business with the longest weekly episodic shows (RAW and Smackdown)... Take that into comparison with shows like The Simpsons, M.A.S.H, Friends, etc. etc. They know how to keep their audience entertained and have had huge sucess from it.
Sorry for the rant lol ... I always have to defend myself for watching wrestling to my friends that I just had to vent for once lol... anyways, enjoy your DBZ discussions fellas. I May Be Wrong - OUT!
I would agree w/ you and start an entire Tim Duncan thread within this one, but then the homies brought up that Wrasslin'. I had a great passion for wrestling. My love for it has deminished since the PG Era began, but I still watch it here and there. That HBK/Shelton Benjamin spot was classic, but does anyone remember this amazing wrestling moment?
I enjoy wrestling but you can't say it's a little bit homosexual... MMA isn't gay because there is someone attacking someone else as hard as they can.. They are trying to hurt each other as bad as possible... In wrestling, they are acting while doing flips and grabs.... Sure they make lots of money but that argument alone doesn't make it not gay.. How much money does gay po-rn make a year? I bet it's a whole hell of a lot...
WWE has not and will not be what it used to be. Chairshots, bloodshed, obscene foul language, hand gestures and even quirky lines that would go over people's heads have all been cut out of the federation. I believe a big reason for the PG Era is Chris Benoit, sorry to say. He doing what he did caused the WWE to clean up what the fans were watching. There were claims that the amount of chairshots he took over his career were the reason for his overdose of prescription drug usage. I can go on for years about wrestling. There is a huge amount of politics involved.
^I always thought that Tim Duncan's game would age the best, and he'd put up 17 and 10 until he was 38, but he has slowed down a bit. I don't think it's because of his abilities diminishing, but for one he doesn't get minutes, and he isn't the focal point of the offense any more, although he does have his nights like a couple last week. If they threw the ball into him to more, than I have no doubt he would put up 17 and 9 in 30 minutes a game, but nonetheless, Pop has managed to put together a great team, and switched his philosophy based on his personel, and they are now more of an up tempo run and gun three point team. But with Manu, back and assuming they stay healthy, I'll peg them as the 3rd best team behind OKC and the Clips. The Spurs have depth and they have size, and they have a lot of young guys that play very well and put up big Per 36 minutes stats. They have several guys that can get it done, and I believe that both Manu and Tony Parker are capable of being go to guys, and if they can get one more solid piece, than I really like their chances, even though the Richard Jefferson experiment continues to fail, unless they meant for him to be no more than what he is right now.
This is why Coach Pop IS the best coach in the league today. He manages Timmy's minutes with excellence and now Tony and Manu have been the 1st and 2nd options for this team and not relying on Timmy like they had to previous years. The young core of Neal, Blair, Splitter and Leonard are steadily improving as the season progresses and RJ and Bonner are knock-down shooters when their night is right. I assume that come playoff time, Duncan's minutes will increase and they revert to the half-court system a bit, considering they tried the up-tempo game w/ the Grizzlies last postseason and it ended up in a 8th/1st seed upset. As for RJ being who he is right now, he was brought in because Bruce Bowen was going to retire, so the Spurs flipped him for RJ back in 2009. Coach Pop went back to basics w/ RJ and has made him a reliable 3-pt shooter, something he has never been known for, so I think he is who he is, and now that Leonard is on the team, it doesn't matter much.

I disagree my friend. It may appear so at times, but wrestling is not gay. Wrestling is a performance for the fans. Before they perform in front of the people, the match is rehearsed, which is called "spotting". After the spots are placed and they decide who wins, then they perfrom. Me telling you this bit of information alone is breaking kayfabe.
LOL!!! Sorry... I couldnt control it.. It just slipped out..
Honestly, if we were face to face, you could see me laughing at you soo freaking hard.. 2 reasons... 1, I think it is too funny, and 2, because you were trying to convince me that its not gay because you did it!!
If you got paid, more power to you, but if you didnt, Im sorry... All I can picture is the South Park episode about wrestling where Cartman is a woman having Kyle's baby!!!!
OMG, what a revealing statement...
I still love you razorSHARPE, but I think differently of you..
Was "Razor Sharp" your wrestling name but they added an "E" because your last name is "Sharpe" so it made sence to call you "Razor Sharpe" because Sharpe is your last name?? PLEASE LET IT BE SO!!!
I met a few guys who trained at this facility known as the "Doghouse" located in Brooklyn and they started their onw federation and used to wrestle in playgrounds (humble beginnings). I starterd hanging out with them frequently, wrestled and learned a lot about wrestling and the business behind it. Long story short, they eventually bought a wrestling ring and we started performing at block parties, our own events, etc. It was a great experience for me. Got to meet a few Pros that gave me good advice while I was doing my thing, learned how to be agressive, which was a great life lesson and made great friends in the end. Unfortunately, I gave up my aspirations in order to pursue my music career, but I have footage and proof that I used to wrestle. I was the big fellow in the black. Can't miss me LOL.
Yea man. There's a lot of psychology and politics involved. It's much more than matches and promos. You have to start by knowing who are you going o be as a performer; Good guy (face), bad guy (heel) or a tweener? What are your limitations (if your 450 lbs and trying to do acrobatic moves, bad psychology), how you act towards the crowd and how you get them to believe who you are, your in-ring performance, etc.
LOL. Funny you brought up refs. The guy I wrestled in that footage used to be a special guest referee at times, and he used to do this thing where a guy would pin the other guy after doing a low level move (clothesline, dropkick,etc.) and instead of counting 1, 2, 3, he would just skip 1 and 2 and go "3!" and the match was over LMAO. Had some fun times.
"Ya know NoMoney, I was thinking about your comment and it seems as though you are defending the word 'gay' because you or someone you know is gay.."
I support equality. That shouldn't suggest anything about my sexual orientation.
Interestingly enough though, studies show that homophobic people are more aroused by gay pr0n than non-homophobic straight people.
I'm definitely a heel. I'm not sure if I would want to be a cocky or insane heel. I'm not going to be pulling a bunch of high flying moves, I think I could come up with a nice moveset for me. I would use Orton's 2nd rope DDT, punches/kicks, definitely a submission like the figure 4 or crossface, then a superkick or RKO for the finisher, maybe a spear or a backstabber for a signature, obviously I would need to add more moves but that's a start. I can always throw is a pedigree or my own created submission too.
I loved to finally see a fight between SSGoku and SSVejeta.. Too hyped. Even though Goku was SS2 I think the whole Majin thing made Vejeta just as strong if not stronger. Wish that fight had lasted 2 or 3 episodes.. That would have been amazing.
