WWE attendance/ratings numbers by month for 2004. This kinda came up today, so I wanted to mine the data in a little more detail and put it some place I could find it without having to put it together again . Not some place that actually looked good, mind you. Depending on unsupervised boredom, I may try and put together the 2003 numbers for some more context.
Other stuff:
It was Edgecator in WithAuthority (wwe card games – your source for move names that haven’t made it on to TV!) and in there, it was treated as a figure four variant. I had a couple decks totally set up around it. I never won, but that was no different than anything else.
Figure four variation my ass, it’s a high-angle STF.
Dude, do you know what the F in STF stands for? Get the F out.
Anyway, if you’ve got a copy of RAW handy, watch how Edge applies the hold: Edge plants his right leg in between Orton’s, makes the 4 with Orton’s legs, and goes to a knee while bending the leg more. If Edge ties the legs up by themselves and turns to grab a facelock of some sort, then it’s an STF. I’d call it a kneeling reverse figure four but lucha’s scarred me from naming these things.
(Video game moves names are horribly inconsistent and not a good source for generic move names.)
I don’t think Batista has actually been announced as from Washington, DC since his injury return, but I think I do remember them mentioning it when he was Dave Batista (w/Ric Flair). Since I’ve got quite a few hometowns up there that’ll never be mentioned, so I’ll probably throw it on there later.
I guess RVD signed? Because Dave said his contract’s last day was the Bash and he’s to be on SmackDown! But then again…
It’s always looked like a sharpshooter with Edge remaining forward to me. somewhat similar to the Nakano move.
I might as well shill a list I and a few others have been working on:

I don’t think it’s been all that long since Washington, DC was given for Dave. I remember it, and my memory only spans about two months. 5/10 RAW had it.
I wasted about $80 on With Authority(!). Ignorant.
Please give us some analysis on Jason Giambi’s tapeworm. Its on-base percentage, for example.
Mideon’s correct re: Batista’s hometown. I taped the show because the Chris Jericho/Christian feud was blown off (in a very satisfying manner, I might add) on that show, and Lillian distinctly announces Batista as from D.C. for his one-on-one match against Tajiri. (I think the reason we don’t hear it all that often is that Batista simply hasn’t been in a lot of singles matches since his return.)
Ok, how about Elevated Reverse Indian Deathlock?
“If Edge ties the legs up by themselves and turns to grab a facelock of some sort, then it’s an STF.”
Hey cubs, watch more people apply STF’s, as their body leans against the bent leg to keep the other leg inside the crook.
I’lll give you the duke on the F. I meant a step over toehold.
Elevated Reverse Indian Deathlock works for me.
Good, now just throw it in the Raw info if he ever uses it again and give credit to me. :)
Are we sure Garcia didn’t announce Batista as being from Washington, Canatoba?
