I mean, when even goofy 80s WWF has blood when needed, it makes Vince's current Draconian stance against it kinda silly
ReplyDeleteFinishing WM IV tonight. That and UNC vs Duke. Go Tar Heels!
ReplyDeleteGotta love Kevin Nash on commentary.
ReplyDeleteWell, actually he's bad for the product, but it's funny as shit.
Oh God, midgets
ReplyDeleteI disagree. Barbaric practice really, no need for it in the modern product. Look at the faces of the old wrestlers and you'll see how much damage blading caused over time. Even for a one off, why bother with public mutilation?
ReplyDeleteKing Kong Bundy looks Jersey as fuck
ReplyDeleteI think I'm gonna watch Boxing tonight.
ReplyDeleteI finally figured out why the Intercontinental Champion is always booked so poorly now. The Intercontinental Title still has the word 'wrestling' on it! No wonder the person holding the SlutBelt gets booked so poorly; Vince is trying to train us ala Pavlov's Dogs to reject wrestling in favor of his brand of 'sports entertainment'. It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteIf Rusev and Cena win out, at 31 their match will unify the WWE Linear title and the Dark Timeline Linear title. I way more excited about this possibility than anything else.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the difference?
ReplyDeleteThe Dark Timeline title was created when Reigns when out with an injury.
ReplyDeleteEspecially in a world where UFC uses vasoline to prevent blood.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, things really did go to pot when Reigns got hurt, storyline wise. And then when he came back things got worse. Can't live with him, can't live without him.
ReplyDeleteNo way this run is as poorly received if he doesn't get hurt.
ReplyDeleteEven if we only missed another 2 months of Big Show matches and Reigns taking pins when he should be looking like a guy that can hang with Brock?
ReplyDeleteDAYUM, Elizabeth
ReplyDeletepoorly received? the universe voted him superstar of the year Maggle!
ReplyDeleteAnyone watching boxing tonight on NBC?
ReplyDeleteI don't know that it wouldn't still be unpopular because the guy wasn't lighting it on fire before the injury, but I don't think it would've been as bad. What definitely would've improved was his performance on the mic and in big money matches, because he would've been put in the position far earlier to grow that part of his game.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna watch for the first time.
ReplyDeleteHeel Book got it right...
ReplyDelete"Roman Reigns: Superstar of the Year. Seth Rollins: Actual Superstar of the Year."
If he's got a PPV victory over Rollins under his belt he at least looks like a credible option to win.
ReplyDeleteAs it was he was only credible because we were told he was.
I'm glad they spent monday trying to fix that by squandering Rollins
ReplyDeleteI just wanna see Broner's wannabe-Mayweather ass get dropped.
ReplyDeletebig show got "please retire" chants at the latest nxt house shows lol...
ReplyDeleteAnd he made the crowd cheer for him at the end.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that a place near my hometown would have the audacity, the audacity to serve Eastern-Style NC Pork instead of Western NC-style. For reference, I live about an hour west of the place where Western NC-style BBQ was invented. Yes, I will still go, and yes, it will probably be delicious, but damn man. That's just not cool.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, they call unsweetened tea 'Yankee Tea', so they must be good peoples.
certainly no one but Vince thought that match was a good idea for that crowd
ReplyDeleteHell, even I cheer when a Big Show match ends.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for that too. Broner is the Willie Mays Hays of boxing.
ReplyDeleteheres a full report of the show
ReplyDeletehttp://www.voicesofwrestling.com/2015/03/06/nxt-live-in-columbus-march-5-review-notes-and-photos/
He started make fun of himself in the match.
ReplyDeleteSo he hits like shit?
ReplyDeletePurple tights and boots for HHH.
ReplyDeleteSuch a weird look.
And makes basket catches too
ReplyDeleteI need a guide about who's fighting tonight.
ReplyDeleteThere is good to Show.. but he should retire from active wrestling. I was talking with someone about him being a manager... IT would be something new. you never have a manager bigger than the wrestlers. Hell put the Ascension with him...the y could start squashing everyone finally by tossing them into the ropes and letting Big show hit is big punch every week.
ReplyDeleteWhat ppv are we doing?
ReplyDeleteI don't hate Big Show, I really don't. He has a use on the roster, just not as a main event heel (or main event anything). But I wouldn't just toss him out wholesale. The dude was epic on commentary a few weeks back, and Lord knows the team needs a change.
ReplyDeleteNash isn't doing too bad so far.
ReplyDeletewell according to the reply to the audience hes got a guarnteed 10 year contract so he aint going anywhere
ReplyDeleteThink everybody's on their own.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing JD03.
Zach Bogosian was an underrated fantasy pickup since the trade to Buffalo. Four assists in his last six games.
ReplyDeleteThat's fucking awesome if he yelled that back at them.
ReplyDeleteMost underrated guy of the last 20 years.
I'm in the middle of X-7 for the third time this weekend.
ReplyDeletekeith thurman vs robert guerrero
ReplyDeletebrne vs molina jr
Obvious problem with 03 HHH:
ReplyDeleteHe's trying to wrestle Flair style and his moveset doesn't fit that style.
If he's beating everyone he faces between Summerslam and the Rumble, probably not.
ReplyDeleteBut you still have the problem of Bryan coming back in the Rumble. That's the real problem.
and he is rood bloated and a step slower with the bad leg
ReplyDeleteSpent the last 3 hours ripping a blu ray and just as it gets to about 2 minutes left my computer decides to restart itself. Fucking fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThat too. He's just the worst possible guy to be wrestling the "Flair Formula."
ReplyDeletewhat happened to 97/98?
ReplyDeleteBurned myself out on the undercard. I got to WM14 and decided to switch and watch a different whole year. Than I'll jump years after WM20 again.
ReplyDeleteWhat time is it?
ReplyDeleteEST
Credit to HHH: He just made Nash look strong in that schmozz.
ReplyDeleteI would have liked to see him try to cut an 80's Flair promo. Yelling at Cole about how his suit costs more than Cole's RAW jacket.
ReplyDeleteman, you seriously couldn't go to Over the Edge 98, then quit?
ReplyDeletethat was the last thing I watched before hitting the cancel button for my subscription. the ME is still one of my favorite matches of all time.
I'm doing it on "seasons" bookended by WMs.
ReplyDeleteI'll get to the 98 season pretty quick I think. But if I watch that I have to go to WM15 to watch the whole season.
agreed. I see the thinking since he was slower but didn't pan out. Without rewatching it all I still remember HHH/Taker KOTR 2002 as his nadir. They were both injured so treated every move like the 40 minute mark of a the craziest hardest hitting epic match about 2 minutes in
ReplyDeleteYou need to get a watch.
ReplyDeleteWhat would Roman Reigns have done from Night of Champions to the Royal Rumble if he didn't get hurt? Here's my thoughts:
ReplyDeleteNight of Champions: Beats Seth Rollins.
Hell in the Cell: Beats Bray Wyatt in a grudge match.
Survivor Series: Cena/Reigns/Ziggler/Ambrose/Ryback v. Rollins/Wyatt/Big Show/Kane/Rusev. Reigns plays the Ziggler role of winning the match for Team Cena and "ending the authority." And Sting's debut is more about keeping HHH from interfereing, you don't get HHH beating down Reigns and making him look like a jobber the way he did to Ziggler.
TLC: Reigns/Ambrose v. Wyatt Family (Rowan doesn't turn face) in a TLC handicapped match. Reigns and Ambrose are sort of building a competitive friends dynmanic.
Royal Rumble: Reigns wins, probably by last eliminated Ambrose. They do a handshake respect thing.
Those Raw jacketes were pretty expensive, like $200 I think.
ReplyDeleteJacqueline? In 2003!?!?!
ReplyDeleteBetter than what they've booked thus far.
ReplyDeleteVader time?
ReplyDeleteNC is all transplants from PA and OH. I actually went to a Steelers bar the last time I was down there.
ReplyDeletethe season isn't too bad - KOTR's alright, Summerslam's great, Breakdown was surprisingly good, and I like SurSer. And then the Foley/Rock stuff keeps it pretty good through to Mania. Of course, most of the undercards suck.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed by your discipline though.
Your way sounds good but the reality Lots more Big Show and Kane and 50/50 booking
ReplyDeleteThe rumor was she was banging Vince and was rewarded with the cruiserweight title.
ReplyDeleteStill, and I know Hunter doesn't do drugs, but a 5 minute rant ala Flair coked out of his mind could've been fun to see.
ReplyDeleteI needed a change of jobber scenery. I just couldn't do anymore Headbangers and Godwinns.
ReplyDeleteNow I've got a whole new roster to goof on.
Ehh, Vince will fuck anything, huh?
ReplyDeletedefine......drugs
ReplyDeletePretty cool insight on how a booker puts together a card from Gabe: https://www.facebook.com/BookItGabe/posts/777282022356026?notif_t=like
ReplyDeleteNon steroid related.
ReplyDeleteuh, by 98 you get the JOB Squad, Brood, Val Venis and Godfather.
ReplyDelete... wait, I'm not making much of an argument there. Gangrel's entrance was only good for so much.
Victoria and Stevie were a fun pair.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxGRNXlvgOg This is as close as it gets.
ReplyDeleteNot red in the face and sexual innuendo enough.
ReplyDeleteStevie is underrated he was solid with whatever he was given.
ReplyDeleteTapped out HHH and Shawn at consecutive PPVs!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like a match with Victoria's fun pair.
ReplyDeleteUnderrated Chappelle's Show sketch: when he plays NBA Street with the terminally ill kid and becomes a hypercomptetivie dick.
ReplyDelete"Ooh, I shoulda left you dead, Billy!"
He was perfect as Raven's stooge.
ReplyDeleteThe Rey baseball bat bump was insane. Too bad it led to "family man" Rey.
ReplyDeleteHe and Al Snow never did anything did they? it seems like they would have been a perfect combo of smark love underdogs
ReplyDeleteBrock-Big Show Round 3.
ReplyDeleteLet's get this over with.
So did Goldberg appear on Raw any from No Way Out to Wrestlemania?
ReplyDeleteShow's Andre gear never looked like it fit him right in 2003.
ReplyDeleteHe had a match with Kane which was just a setup for Taker to play mind games.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize the network put up the full shows to the previous hall of fame ceremonies (for a while, they just had the "best of" stuff). So, I'm watching them and skipping over the dudes I don't care for. I'm at 2006. As an inductee and as a presenter for two additional years, Heenan is absolutely killing it. Damn, I miss him.
ReplyDeleteof all people to lose ability to speak...not fair
ReplyDeleteLike Marv said. Take his legs, but not his voice.
ReplyDeleteMan from all the NXT main events I had been getting Adam Rose vs. Kidd..is a step down
ReplyDeleteMonsoon has a pretty great speech at the 94 HoF.
ReplyDeleteThat was before No Way Out.
ReplyDeleteI need to watch that. Were they hanging from the rafters?
ReplyDeleteHeenan's rant on the World Wildlife Fund is legendary.
ReplyDeleteHi, every BoDy!
ReplyDeleteI was indisposed yesterday and today. What do I need to know to keep up with As The Blog Turns?
(outside of wrestling newzzz... I know aboot Demoot)
Damn.
ReplyDeleteIs that somewhere on the network? I didn't see 94 there.
ReplyDeleteHe always winds up being somebody's bitch.
ReplyDeleteHe was shooting Santa's Slay
ReplyDeleteBig Show's got a list of potential victims written on his stretcher.
ReplyDeleteOnly the top name is crossed off and he's fighting the last name on the list.
That's so fucking sad.
It wasn't on my roku so I went to the website and added it to my watchlist and it showed up. Had to do that for 95 and 96 too. For some reason those shows aren't on roku.
ReplyDeleteNatalya! you never suck another man's lolly pop!
ReplyDeleteThe energy in that room came in like a tidal wave as Bobby was revving up. Best HoF speech and just one of the best promos of all time.
ReplyDeleteA constant line I've heard in radio shows is how Nash just comes off such a funny and likeable guy in person, it's understandable why he gets his way a lot despite his harm for the business. He showed that here, really hysterical commentary stuff, a last gasp of true entertainment before the madness of Russo takes over.
ReplyDeleteDon't smoke.
ReplyDeleteA bit of...a LEMON, in FACT
ReplyDelete"I PLAN TO DESTROY EVERYBODY IN THE MIDDLE OF MY LIST TOO!!!! JUST . . . just later . . I guess."
ReplyDeleteFACT
ReplyDeleteOh wait, you're not talking about a scene for Total Divas, are you?
Ah, okay. Damn roku. And damn you for talking about roku. It was one of the factors in my purchase of it.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, I dig it.
I love it. There are some other great channels out there too.
ReplyDeleteHe's trying so hard though.
ReplyDeleteAnd now Lesnar's beating Show with his own stretcher with uncrossed out named.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Rocky King.
ReplyDeleteI'm @ Van Dam/Sabu and this match is complete amateur hour. Sloppy, sloppy.
ReplyDeleteThose shows from 94-96 were taped? Cool.
ReplyDeleteThe middle is the best part, too!
ReplyDeleteLike the Oreo cream!
But did they reverse waistlocks and somersault around for a 60 seconds only to pause for applause? That's the real question.
ReplyDeleteAn odd touch to these old shows is how everybody would wait intently for the announcer to declare the decision.
ReplyDeleteNope. He was out of contractually obligated appearances after No Way Out. That's why the build to Lesnar/Goldberg was so Austin-centric.
ReplyDeleteYepper. Right off the start of the match, then RVD cuts a promo.
ReplyDeleteCole outright said Big Show failed lol.
ReplyDeleteMan, that ROH World Title match from the 13th Anniversary show was so heatless.
ReplyDeleteFirst name on the list = Shelton. Last name on the list =Shelton. Everybody in the middle = white as can be.
ReplyDeleteTHIS
ReplyDeleteThese days, amazing that as soon as the ref gets up and walks away from ther action these days, somehow the ring announcer mysteriously knows the decision
It's as if they knew.. ahead of time...
This company will never get a guy over the way they want if they keep up with this 50/50 booking shit.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, the guys that would work best with (Daniel Bryan, Bret Hart, etc) are the guys they don't want to push.
Iron Clad = 10 years I guess.
ReplyDeletenow DDPs as he seems to be running the Yoga sessions while Page recovers
ReplyDeleteYou gotta love the annoyed, confused look that wrestling interviewers always have.
ReplyDeleteIs the full flair speech on? I've always wanted to watch it
ReplyDeleteJust started watching Rumble 02. Had no idea Taz and Spike Dudley were tag champs. Also forgot how hot Stacy looked in her Dudley outfit.
ReplyDeleteits 02... Stacy in a burlap sac would have worked
ReplyDeleteBrock-Big Show's been surprisingly not bad.
ReplyDeleteI hate that too. I mean, in the old days you'd have Finkel walk back into the ring and get the decision, which could take 2-3 minutes. But you can't take 20 seconds to have the ref walk over to the corner to have a fake conversation with the announcer?
ReplyDelete"Were live pal!"
ReplyDeleteThe WrestleMania X8 entrance where she gets all striperrific is awesome.
ReplyDeleteLots of ECW was overrated junk.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to watch that
ReplyDeleteI would assume so, they have had the full shows without edits for the ones I've watched.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that time when Vince said, "Excellent observation, Choc-o-Lunch!"
ReplyDeleteYes you are.
ReplyDeleteRey's return and revenge was sad.
ReplyDeleteAt least he 619ed Show in the balls.
no see it took 6 guys and a chair to beat Reigns...so that puts him over leading up to the match with brock
ReplyDeleteHANDS ABOVE THE TABLE
ReplyDeleteOh for fucks sake Brock's got a forklift.
ReplyDeleteThat's what Sable said
ReplyDeleteWell not 4 stars but hell if Kidd vs. Rose wasn't fun
ReplyDeleteIndeed. If you're gonna do a spot fest, make sure your spots hit!
ReplyDeleteThese two "wrestled" to a 30 minute draw... these are two guys who should not have been doing broadways.
I should have saw that coming but ...damn it that made me laugh
ReplyDeleteMeh, not like I miss it. Seems kinda superfluous.
ReplyDeleteBrock doing a cross body from the top of the fork lift was kind of cool.
ReplyDeleteRaven/Dreamer holds up, at least the promos.
ReplyDeletethat was a shitass ppv
ReplyDeleteBad Blood 03: Nash in a Cell!
ReplyDeleteyou think if Brock's kid said look dad a shooting star! Brock just crumbles to the ground and cries?
ReplyDeleteGoddamn I wish my upstairs neighbor(s) would sit down for five fucking minutes. What could you possibly be doing the necessitates you stomping around ALL fucking day?
ReplyDeleteECW: Time limit draws are EXTREME~!
ReplyDeleteNXT number 1 tag tourney time
ReplyDeleteLol Black Power Nowinski
ReplyDelete"Why is the white brother always telling YOU to get the tables?"
Nowinski could have been something
ReplyDeleteThey aren't complete. The show the speeches with Renee Young and Gene Okerlund filling in at the studio.
ReplyDeleteGreat point, Count Chocula!
ReplyDeleteA Shane Douglas promo in-ring and in the back. Who did I piss off today?
ReplyDeleteTime for Owen Hart's Emmy submission reel, otherwise known as Bret/Backlund from Survivor Series.
ReplyDeleteAlways loved Taz saying, "Well, here comes the pain." during Brock's entrance.
ReplyDeleteAdonis looks like he's wearing a big, pink diaper
ReplyDeleteWatching Quantum Leap on Netflix.
ReplyDeleteIt's sooooo good but goes on too long would have worked better trimmed a little. stu trying to stop her is a nice touch too
ReplyDeleteLoved that aspect of it, that Stu knew Owen was full of shit but Helen couldn't help herself.
ReplyDeleteAl Snow VS Shane Douglas for the ECW Heavyweight Title... Really?
ReplyDeleteI was a fan of the Triple Threat. Wrestling needs more stables like that
ReplyDeleteDancing,
ReplyDeleteForgot Vince and Gorilla called this one.
ReplyDeleteOh snap...Sammy needs a tag partner and Rose shows up!.. Rose was much better as a face..
ReplyDeleteSammy looking to Renee before going for the lolly pop and still having to work himself up to take the lolly is gold
And Davey Boy playing dead forever and Helen steps over him no problem to chuck the towel in.
ReplyDeleteAnd at the time, we all thought Snow would be going over, especially since Douglas was working hurt and the Head gimmick was running wild.
ReplyDeleteBret spending 3 hours in the chicken wing, probably excessive, I will admit.
ReplyDeleteThat the one where they were practically begging the crowd to chant "5 more minutes"?
ReplyDeleteI'm recording so someone let me know if any of the boxing is worth watching
ReplyDeleteFuck all this. Let's get to some boxing.
ReplyDeleteRedneck Triathalon. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteWrestlePalooza '98?
ReplyDeleteI agree. It was a hot angle at the time.
ReplyDeleteBret should have stayed out of action for 2 years
ReplyDeleteNice catch, Hayes. Don't ever fucking do it again.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to revive Bob Backlund's gimmick. It'd be a big hit with Vince who hates "millennials."
ReplyDeletegladly I don't even remember what you are talking about
ReplyDeleteBut instead, Snow got 'recalled' back to the WWF and settled into a nice career as a mid carder. Better career move.
ReplyDeleteThat's one hell of an entrance for Snow though.
ReplyDeletethe problem is you need a star from 20 years ago and...Vince has squeezed every drop out of that era already
ReplyDeleteNot that it would have changed much, but yeah, I still day he should have won.
ReplyDeleteNo one said it was a lifetime deal. It's iron clad, until the contract expires in 10 years.
ReplyDeleteKurt Angle, baby!
ReplyDeleteThat's the one. I'm just starting the main event.
ReplyDeleteIngram gets 4 year deal from the Saints.
ReplyDeletePerfect choice.
ReplyDeleteKofi, bring the food!
ReplyDelete
