ReplyDelete"Does it get on your nerves, too, how often he says '1, 2, he-got-him-no!'?"
ReplyDeleteI love how HHH sells the stunner all the way up the aisle.
ReplyDeleteYoga can't fix everything:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.prowrestling.net/article.php?Dallas-Page-hospitalized-in-ICU-40836
Jim Duggan is 23-1 against Steve Austin lifetime.
ReplyDeleteI like how Billy was a heel and Bart wasn't. Interesting dynamic neither guy could pull off.
ReplyDeleteHOOOOO!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVince is gloriously patronizing right now. They're having so much fun with this.
ReplyDeleteBarbarian was 0-33 against Big Boss Man.
ReplyDeleteI really, really dislike Owen's little yellow circles.
ReplyDeleteThe Gunns look like they're wearing Uggs.
ReplyDeleteThis is a match that happened in 2014: Steiner Brothers vs Faces of Fear vs Rock N Roll Express vs George South and Tom Prichard
ReplyDelete"I am the 1 in 23 and 1!"
ReplyDeleteStacked Southern States Wrestling card!
ReplyDeleteOwen and Davey are two guys whose looks were improved with short hair.
ReplyDeleteIt was WrestleCade 2014. Actually not that bad of a looking card. http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=117887
ReplyDeleteIt was actually an eight man tag, not a four-way tag.
ReplyDeleteLol @ Sunny winking at the camera after Kings comment. They do have sound back there dammit!
ReplyDeleteOne two three I gotta go pee
ReplyDeleteFour five six remember to shake out yo dick
ReplyDeleteThe long hair fit obnoxious troll Owen while short hair fit the more serious minded Owen.
ReplyDeleteYeah, obnoxious troll Owen looked jobberrific but it fit his character.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Bulldog badly mistimed that.
ReplyDeleteSeven eight nine wear undies under your Calvin Kleins.
ReplyDeletePretty shrewd teamwork by them. And I love Owen's music.
ReplyDeleteSeven eight nine, don't forget the close the ziper.
ReplyDeleteWay underrated tag team.
ReplyDeleteIt looked a lot better on the replay, at least.
ReplyDeleteThey cut out the first thirty second of him hiding lol.
ReplyDeleteI guess that rhymes in Portuguese?
ReplyDeleteI just finished listening to Whoomp There It Is. It still bangs, but I never want to see it mentioned on Raw ever again
ReplyDeleteWow, Jacques worked with Bret A LOT. Cagematch says 152 times. I'm sure the real number is bigger.
ReplyDeleteAn easy way to improve RAW: more Cabbage Patching.
ReplyDeleteOnly if Salt N Pepa guest host
ReplyDeleteMentioning Vince as owner!!!
ReplyDelete"Good catch, Vince!" Dude has been fucking glorious tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe good old days when they kept it simple
ReplyDeleteI think Diesel did it first.
ReplyDeleteAl Bundy, if he were a cat:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yup-vi_OWZ4
Man those Ahmed/Farooq exchanges must've needed subtitles.
ReplyDeleteI goof on Ahmed speaking a lot, but I legit have no idea what he just said.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Wrestlemania XI was that big a hit.
ReplyDeletePost-sex Perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteJust did some shaved sirloin steak sandwiches on some bakery knots. Heaven.
ReplyDeleteMarc Mero still looks too much like Johnny B. Badd right now.
ReplyDeleteWhich one are we doing now, and how far in?
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! We need bickering face interviewee/heel interviewer segments again!
ReplyDeleteBuried Alive 44:53
ReplyDeleteMero's pyro is a patio door with sparklers attached.
ReplyDeleteGot Saints Row: The Third, any good?
ReplyDeleteDoes this includes Hart Foundation v. Rougeau Brothers tags?-
ReplyDeleteGoddammit I hate Goldust's outfit. I thought he'd fix it after a month like he did his stupid black ears!
ReplyDeleteJust got my first actual commercial on the WWE Network... and it was for Hulu.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, early sighting of the bald dude and his wife that are always at the front trow of PPVs
ReplyDeleteMr. Perfect said ass like a dozen times.
ReplyDeleteNot only is Goldust's attire design incredibly bad looking, it looks it's made out of a painters tarp.
ReplyDeleteVintage SNL is the Patrick Swayze episode
ReplyDeleteWell that makes me sad. Both Chippendale auditioners are dead.
ReplyDeleteWe just had spaghetti with brown butter and mizathra cheese.
ReplyDeleteIn neon windbreakers? If so, those are BJ Whitmer's parents.
ReplyDeleteI know Perfect turns on Mero and sides with Triple H... but is that the next night on RAW?
ReplyDeleteWaiting for the lady to feed and put away her chickens and horses. Then, it's sushi time! Until then, Dying Light.
ReplyDeleteLike wrestling, the death toll is far too high in the male stripper industry
ReplyDeleteNo idea. I completely missed late 95-mid 98.
ReplyDeleteSable certainly has a broad spectrum. As far as wrestlers go... could there be any two further apart than Johnny B Badd and Brock Lesnar?
ReplyDeleteYeah, fun game. I always think of it as the Always Sunny to GTA's Seinfeld: same kinda premise but way more off the fucking rails
ReplyDeleteThe undertaker and Rico.
ReplyDeletePerfect was doing this thing were he'd come out and steal Triple H's valet.
ReplyDelete"His microphone works fine!"
ReplyDeleteGoldust stopping to troll the fans in the middle of matches was always great.
ReplyDelete"I am gonna personally stick my tongue down each and everyone of your throats!"
ReplyDeleteThat's some quality heeling!
Never played it, but I did buy Saints Row 4. GTA on some REALLY GOOD shit is my opinion.
ReplyDelete'96 GOLDDUST!
ReplyDeleteKharma and Nikki Bella.
ReplyDeletePossibly the worst outfit ever.
ReplyDeleteThose two dudes in the front row are jackasses. They seem like every loser odd couple you see in a generic comedy.
ReplyDeleteOne of these things is NOT like the others.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that promotion name is glorious.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Mr. Perfect leave shortly after this?
ReplyDeleteBetween Arrow, Flash, and being unable to put down Injustice since I've started really getting into it, DC has become like pro wrestling. As long as I cherry-pick the good stuff and avoid the rest, I don't feel as burned on the bad shit from the companies as everyone else.
ReplyDeleteBut goddamn, I feel bad for letting Injustice rot on my shelf for a year while clearing out some of my gaming backlog, it's so much fun, just so much to do even in single-player and I enjoy all the little touches in battle like the matchup-specific mid-match quotes.
Superman: "Arrows?! Against ME?!"
Green Arrow: "Arrows! Against you!"
Sinestro: "You fight with a toy!"
Green Arrow: "You fight with jewelry!"
The mic work in the middle of the match... loved it.
ReplyDeleteEverybody giving Ollie shit.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Bayless' ROH review. I was at DBD and loved it
ReplyDeleteI swear Mr. Perfect is the only guy who could get away with those blue suits.
ReplyDeletefake Diesel! where's Daniel Bryan to fight him?
ReplyDeleteFake Razor looks like some dude they picked up off the street and tossed some purple garments at.
ReplyDeleteThat unfortunately doesn't translate to brown ones.
ReplyDeleteI love playing as the TV Arrow version where they didn't give any new lines, so everyone still treats Serious TV Arrow as the swashbuckling one and he has to give those quips in his Batmanish voice.
ReplyDeleteOpponent: "Don't you ever shut up?!"
Arrow: "Every other Tuesday!"
YES... Sid vs Vader!
ReplyDeleteYes. Vince blew his deal with Lloyds of London and he got poised and went to WCW.
ReplyDeleteI love this "who has the best powerbomb" promo. Even if the match sucks, great way to set up a feud. Take note, WWE.
ReplyDeleteI always thought Vader's powerbomb was shit.
ReplyDeleteSid's too popular! Turn him heel!!!
ReplyDeleteJunior High...
ReplyDeleteCrowd's just nuts for Sid... constant noise.
ReplyDeleteFor all the shit Triple H gets... he really is, objectively, the greatest of all time. I dare you, name a wrestler better than him.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching independence day on SyFy at my parents house.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteRic Flair.
ReplyDeleteRick Steiner.
ReplyDeleteEl Canek.
ReplyDeleteSteve Austin.
ReplyDeleteShawn Michaels.
Ric Flair.
Yeah, him.
ReplyDeleteNo way.
ReplyDeleteEl Dandy!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever hated a superheroes personality as much as Ollie. He's a cross between the guy who just learned politics in college and the condescending hippie guidance counselor.
ReplyDeleteNuh-uh.
ReplyDeleteImpossible.
Ain't no way.
False.
ReplyDeleteBurt Lancaster.
ReplyDeleteVader's music is awesome. That Boy Meets World episode happened around this time, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good bit!
ReplyDeleteClose, but no cigar.
ReplyDelete"No."
ReplyDelete- Vince
sorry Rock, Shawn is not winning the best look tonight.
ReplyDeleteSid wins.
ReplyDeleteThis is what us folk call a "hit".
ReplyDeleteBuck Zumhofe.
ReplyDeleteNext.
Finishing off 1990 with Starrcade. One more show and no more Black Scorpion.
ReplyDeleteBen from Parks on Boy Meets World always makes me double take.
ReplyDeleteHigh school. (He would have been 15)
ReplyDeleteEnthralling!
ReplyDeletePhil Hickerson
ReplyDeletehttp://media.giphy.com/media/cUENbkNb804U0/giphy.gif
ReplyDeleteBut nobody is better than as El Dandy!
ReplyDeleteThe Injustice story is actually pretty good. You can watch the cutscenes and it comes off as an animated movie.
ReplyDeleteCorny' looking pretty fly tonight.
ReplyDeleteI really wish Sid wasn't such a headcase... he could have been one of the all time greats.
ReplyDeleteScientists have proven that Triple H as El Dandy is better than El Dandy.
ReplyDeletehttp://media.giphy.com/media/yr2qSstSRwTug/giphy.gif
ReplyDeleteHe just works better as a big mean heel!
ReplyDeleteI honestly believe that we will look back on 2014 as being worse than 1995. At least by the end of 1995, there was some modicum of hope for the future with Bret Hart's title win. If anything, 2014 did more to extinguish hope than any other year I've seen in the WWE.
ReplyDeleteSeriously... just LOOK at Sid.
ReplyDeleteSid was such a believable character.
ReplyDeleteGriff!
ReplyDeleteYou have to let a year that's just ended to kind of sit there for a while. 1995 WWF is like taking Nyquil... and then eating laxatives.
ReplyDeletehttp://cdn2-www.wrestlezone.com/assets/uploads/2010/01/file_184193_0_sid-1.jpg
ReplyDeleteNope. Things always seem worse when they're happening. In a couple years we'll think it was but not the worst ever.
ReplyDeletehttps://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/fd/44/5a/fd445a27cbfe1dd733c43b67f2e5ac65.jpg
ReplyDelete1995 has some hidden gems in it that lessen the blow of the booking decisions (not that it helps all that much). There was some good work to be found in spots, which I think supplants 2014 because the repetition killed interest for much of the year.
ReplyDeleteain't he a sight to see?
ReplyDeleteMid-90s Goldust had no idea about carbs.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of hidden gems in 14 we'll appreciate later.
ReplyDeleteWhy in God's name did they think it was a good idea to turn Sid heel?
ReplyDeleteJIMMY NAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW
ReplyDeletehttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sabmtTUp-_w/UsDxhbWg_-I/AAAAAAAASec/6D_bJBYoPj4/s1600/2013-12-29_2006.png
ReplyDeleteAt least for the past year, there was at least an average of one match per week that was worth watching. 1995 stunk to high heaven.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm a couple of chapters in but I'm always a fan of Netherrealm's story modes and single-player content. It's hard to stick with it because I keep going back to the STAR Labs Missions and trying to three-star them all.
ReplyDeleteBecause that's the story Vince wanted to tell?
ReplyDelete2014 started off great and the Survivor Series match was a glimmer of hope, too. 1995 was bad the whole way through.
ReplyDeleteOr cutting down on the booze.
ReplyDeleteHere's Canek slamming Yokozuna.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRAzaYB5eoU
Shawn looks like he's going to a coffee shop for a poetry slam after the show.
ReplyDeleteHere's Canek slamming Andre the Giant.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awjRZFzeJw4
Hancock. What a dick.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Even WrestleMania sucked dick.
ReplyDeleteAnd some terrifying wardrobe choices.
ReplyDeleteSo... the Battle of the Powerbombs... ends in a chokeslam...
ReplyDeleteAnd it did give us one of the best Manias ever.
ReplyDeleteI just finished Snowpiercer. It's a blast.
ReplyDeleteHall of Fame...in November?
ReplyDelete... and pretty easy to tell that Shawn is outclassed in this matchup.
ReplyDeleteFelt like watching it tonight myself
ReplyDeletePaul Heyman's take on the Brian Williams controversy is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI'm confused as to at what point Rock had anything to do with Shawn and Sid? The fuck are y'all watching?
ReplyDeleteIf a Mexican could do it, then Triple H could. Hell, I could.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't renew it until 2004 to be a part of WM weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess an In Your House.
ReplyDeleteI'm counting just past WM. My wrestling calender starts at the day after.
ReplyDeleteTop of my head I've got:
Survivir Series main event
Shield vs Evolution
Cena vs Brock
Lumberjack match
"GO ASK YOUR QUESTION, LITTLE MAN!"
ReplyDeleteAlso, I loved the Shield vs. Evolution matches.
ReplyDeleteTime stamp please
ReplyDeleteShawn was paranoid... and Vince was delusional. He couldn't fathom how anyone could hate Shawn Michaels...
ReplyDelete1:17
ReplyDeleteDanny Johnson and Troy Montour is apparently the best WCW could do for Canadian wrestlers.
ReplyDeleteVince cutting off Dok for no reason...
ReplyDeleteI think I'm ROCK!
ReplyDeleteLink dat shit nigguh
ReplyDeleteThe Breaking News section of WWE Network.
ReplyDeleteWHAT IS YOUR QUESTION LITTLE MAN!?
ReplyDeleteHe has a pattern of that.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sid... we're live, pal.
ReplyDeleteThe Alison Pill scene is batshit insane and awesome.
ReplyDeleteCalling him Shelton was the really weird part.
ReplyDeleteIt's my theory that Vince wanted to be Shawn Michaels... so it goes far beyond his love of another man... it's his own narcissism.
ReplyDelete"Deny the lie to the bitter end!" - Paul Heyman
ReplyDeleteThe WWF used some cool music scores for their big builds in 96 and 97.
ReplyDeletehttp://widescreen.mobi/wp-content/uploads/burt-lancaster-pictures-3.jpg
ReplyDeleteThese video package team need raises.
ReplyDeleteEven today they're great.
ReplyDeleteAll the narrated stuff with stock music seems fantastic. They used to do so much with so little. Now they have everything and can't do shit.
ReplyDeleteNot doubting you on this one
ReplyDeleteFor all the things lacking quality today, the video packages aren't one of them.
ReplyDeleteHHH's big nose > Lancaster's
ReplyDelete2014 had some great PPV events if nothing else.
ReplyDeleteHA! Lawler's mom.
ReplyDeleteThis transitional period between New Generation and Attitude is fascinating. It's like a tonal degree every couple months.
ReplyDeleteBut they don't do them as much as they should. Other than Daniel Bryan's "Monster" video and the buildup to Brock/Cena at SummerSlam... there's been nothing.
ReplyDeleteThis bullshit PPV from September has multiple.
I think the run from Survivor Series 96 to WM14 is one of the most fun just because they tried just about everything to make a run at WCW. So many guys come and go, ideas show up and disappear, everything changes.
ReplyDeleteSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHocking.
ReplyDeleteIt feels like it started before that. I'd say WM12 on it started shifting subtly.
ReplyDelete
