The animations in WM2000 and No Mercy fit perfectly between realistic and impactful. Moves like the stalling Piledriver, the DDT where the opponent lands sideways and the Hangman's Neckbreaker still give me a chubby to this day.ReinEngelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-87220116125811321612014-11-19T15:51:16.743-07:002014-11-19T15:51:16.743-07:00That's the thing: I don't consider it &quo...That's the thing: I don't consider it "punishing" them, because they aren't the only ones responsible for the outcome. Sometimes actors give great performances in bad movies, y'know? Refs (both as performers and in their actual role in helping with in-ring direction), announcers and definitely crowds can make a match better, too. Goes both ways.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, though: the in-ring action, I'd say, is the vast majority of the equation. But the other stuff plays its part.Mike Mearsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-39500352206810325952014-11-19T15:48:43.213-07:002014-11-19T15:48:43.213-07:00Undertaker on hard mode.

Today, everyone sits politely unless something incredibly shocking happens or they get a classic match. Back then, people were standing and yelling during curtain-jerking matches from people like D-Lo. Does anyone on today's roster (outside Bryan) get pops even as consistent as, say, the APA's during the Attitude Era?Greg Phillipsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-17396017476336492262014-11-19T15:48:15.211-07:002014-11-19T15:48:15.211-07:00I have my doubts Vince would put the main title on...I have my doubts Vince would put the main title on someone who looks like Ahmed.
