"Royal Rumble cage match" is an oxymoron.

The Royal Rumble is a no holds barred 30 man over-the-top battle royale that by it's very nature cannot take place inside a cage.

mankind is probably someone like matt schlager or ben gilley.

heath of wrestling would be like cm punk, who left on his terms and everyone wants back.

Mankind aka dude love aka cactus Jack aka mick foley seems kind of like Greco's many different transformations throughout the years for me.

Always got an old school wrestling vibe from old vert shows/contests especially the announcers.

this is the most specific overlap of my niche interests and i've never been happier to pick apart an article.

however, some like, key things are wrong.

Quote

so that when a 275-pound guy drops ten feet onto another behemoth, his elbow doesn’t actually hit him,

That's wrong, it does. Talented wrestlers pull their contact, but they still connect.

Quote

It’s not unlike a royal rumble cage match, and not only because most skateparks are also gated arenas

Those are two very different things. royal rumbles don't happen in cages.

Quote

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin battling the Undertaker at Summerslam 1998 was a classic face vs. heel match.

No, it wasn't. Austin broke the mold, he was a face that was supposed to be a heel. But he was so charismatic that people liked him. He was a contrarian anti hero that got over by being anti corporate and putting on great matches.

All in all, great article, i loved it. more wrestling talk please.

Interesting read. I think we should start with promoters/skate brands comparisons before the wrestlers/skaters comparisons....

Who are the Vince McMahons, the Ted Turners, the Paul Heymans, Antonio Inokis, and Salvador Lutteroths, and unknown promoters of the industries...

I highly doubt skating contests are pre-determined like wrasslin', being that sls etc are essentially a person vs the course. However how strongly one skater is promoted over the other is definitely is definitely a thing. I would like to believe that skating contests arent pre-determined.

It would be crazy if brands are conspiring to have certain skaters intentionally not land tricks or are paying off "judges" just to promote

I dont know too much about wrestling, but would Nyjah be Seth Rollins?

Rob Drydek = HHH maybe? Once liked, now the authority, making bad decisions for the activity as a whole?

Who would be Dean Ambrose?

njyah would be roman reigns. despite constant pushes, most people hate him. however, he sells a ton of product, mostly to kids.

HHH being rob dyrdek could work but i think people are pushing for HHH to take over vince mcmahon’s spot.

A question for the oldheads. Who is Josh Kasper? I know he's a guy who would bail in demos on purpose, to make it look like he was struggling, and that he bit a lot of stuff from pro wrestling. But I've never seen footage and I don't know if I should.

MisterX · « **Reply #14 on:** May 29, 2019, 05:10:08 PM »

Omar Salazar would be Rick Flair based on the "Woos!" alone

I had the 2lb solid rubber guys (Hulk Hogan, Iron Sheik, Koko B Ware, Nikoli Volkoff, Junk Yard Dog, Jimmy Superfly Snuka, Andre The Giant, and Big John Stud) and the ring. When i got bored with the ring i would launch all out assaults on my little sister's Barbie Dream house.

I think Stacy Peralta or Rocco would have to be Vince McMahon. Tony Hawk = Hulk Hogan and after that it's hard for me to do a skater=wrestler...what would be rodney vs daewon, Brett Hart vs Shawn Michaels?

Suave · « **Reply #18 on:** May 29, 2019, 06:43:18 PM »

iron sheik is omar hassan

simon woodstock = doink.
brandon biebel = buff bagwell.
hornswaggle = wee man.

yup A+ work. Would have never realized MJ and Guy in FF, Heath in Stay Gold, Dylan's Gravis part, and all the rest are grandiose, dramatic, self-indulgent, artistically aware skateboard performances and not raw spontaneous acts caught on film without this guy drawing all those parallels.

So thankful for this guy. don't know how i'd ever understand anything were it not for somebody to show me all the parallels in the world.

I see Twuan as more of a Jake the Sake.
Maybe Tas Papas as Macho Man
