This OKC-Indiana game is pretty Meh so far.
ReplyDeleteI've decided to give the 3 match Brock/Hunter series a look (I've only seen their Mania bout). So far I'm right at their Summerslam match but man that show was damn good all around.
ReplyDeleteOh man, they better do War Games with Evolution vs. Daniel Bryan & The Shield.
ReplyDeleteThat would kick all kinds of ass.
Raptors!
ReplyDeleteUh, Paige is kind of hot.
ReplyDeleteIf Canadian Stampede had any sort of historical significance, it would be considered one of the best shows EVER, right?
ReplyDeleteI wish they'd add an extra 30 minutes to This Week in WWE.
ReplyDeleteSo Brock/Hunter part 1 was really great! Excellent use of psychology and story telling. HHH made Brock look great throughout and the finish put Lesnar over really strong. Now to re watch their Mania bout.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think after this week, they would need it to get everything in.
ReplyDeletePaige is REALLY hot.
ReplyDeleteGot a notification earlier about someone responding to a comment I posted in a thread from June. So very random.
ReplyDeleteI think that a lot of die-hard, longtime fans probably do consider it one of the best shows ever. You HAVE to, as the worst match on the show is like, ***.
ReplyDeleteI have no desire to rewatch the Hall of Fame again, so I've got the Pirates-Brewers game going. Brew Crew red hot right now. It probably won't last long in that NL Central dog fight with the Cards, Reds and Pirates, but a good start is important.
ReplyDeleteYup. It's such a throw away show but it's fantastic from the very first minute. You favorite part is seeing Pillman having the time if his life out there
ReplyDeleteI think she's smoking
ReplyDeleteYes. I think when someone compiled the highest average star ratings for all his PPV reviews, this is 1.
ReplyDeleteStoked I can run outside today instead of doing the elliptical
ReplyDeleteHey Farva, you thinking about going to Battleground in July?
ReplyDeleteIt's at The Tampa Bay Times Forum by the way.
ReplyDeleteYea, I was thinking about it. It's the 20th of July iirc. I MIGHT be out of town from the 18-21st tho, so I'm not entire sure yet.
ReplyDeleteU going?
The best part was the crowd participation at the end. They really let Triple H know how much they appreciated his efforts carrying Brock.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think so, I was going to suggest meeting up and maybe getting seats together.
ReplyDeleteContinuing adventures in 2006:
ReplyDeleteA clean-shaven Sandow as a tag jobber. Interesting.
I live in Texas. It's been that way pretty much since mid February.
ReplyDeleteIf i go, I'd be down to do that. When I figure out if I'll be in Tampa I'll let you know. Are tix on sale yet do you know?
ReplyDeleteNo question.
ReplyDeleteAre the In Your House's on the Network?
ReplyDeleteThis game would of been if OKC could clinch first still. They have nothing to lose here.
ReplyDeleteBrock/Hunter part 2 was fine though not as good as part 1. But not nearly as bad as others have said IMO.
ReplyDeleteThey are on presale with the code WWEVIP until the 25th, then tickets are open to everybody. But yeah, let me know. My couple of friends who do watch wrestling aren't big enough fans to want to go to a show.ticket prices aren't that bad if you don't want close floor seats. I was thinking about going for the $107 price range (those ticketmaster charges really fuck you).
ReplyDeleteAre we talking the Wrestlemania match? Didn't they fight at Extreme Rules, too?
ReplyDeleteThe first version of Austin's song, Hell Frozen Over, sounds a lot cooler in arenas than Won't Do What You Tell Me.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I'm watching the entire ER event later even with Scott giving the show a poor review. But he seemed to be in a pretty anti-WWE place at the time even if it was somewhat deserved.
ReplyDeleteI like the disturbed version of his tune quite a lot.
ReplyDeleteWatched Spring Stampede 94 earlier. Why didn't they do an Austin/Pillman US title match there? Crowd was crazy hot for Pillman's TV title match with Regal; imagine if they were giving the blondes their proper final blowoff on that show instead.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, Vince's outrage over Austin stunning JR was a pretty nice foreshadowing of Austin/McMahon. Almost like a sneak peak of the Mr. McMahon persona.
ReplyDeleteWatching some old Raws. I desperately want 94 announcer Vince back in his powder blue suits talking about the Quebecers
ReplyDeleteBecause WCW was anti-making money till Bischoff got the NWO. But he did do a good job with it at the beginning.
ReplyDeleteAnd their awesome theme.
ReplyDeleteI like Vince as announcer,shoot me if you want.
ReplyDeleteKonnan says in his podcast how Eric in the beginning was open to ideas,later he became a fiddle for executives in WCW.
ReplyDeleteIf you believe his book he wanted to quit in late 98 but stuck around due to his contract and ego in wanting to keep the company strong.
ReplyDeleteNever read his book.
ReplyDelete"When Shawn Michaels is at a funeral, he's upset he's not the corpse!"
ReplyDeleteDon't know why I laughed.
ReplyDeleteIt was actually pretty good, especially for a WWE sponsored work. His chapter on his trip to North Korea is worth the read alone.
ReplyDeleteKing? That's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI read Jericho's book which tells in details how crazy WCW creative was,NWO had total control and re-wrote hours before the shows matches,so no one of the undercard knew if they where gonna have a match in the night,it was a mess.
ReplyDeleteI live in CLE and it could still snow.
ReplyDeleteI think they're all awesome except Venemous.
ReplyDeleteI remember you mentioned this a while back so I checked it out and I agree. When did he switch to Won't Do What You Tell Me? Late 98?
You into the MLW stuff now?
ReplyDeleteYeah, in September.
ReplyDeleteI asked the husband if he wants to go, he seemed rather indifferent. I will go if I can convince him or the kid to join me.
ReplyDeleteMLW?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the difference?
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYtA2JFY9Xc
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO_pDDv1i-c
Mainly the drums and the speed.
Hell Frozen Over is basically a barebones version of Won't Do What You Tell Me.
ReplyDeleteMan, I can't wait until WWE network gets to 1997 for Raw. I'm tired of relying on these VHS recordings on YouTube and Dailymotion.
ReplyDeleteSemi unrelated thought...I'm currently on SuperBrawl 1994. I think one of the reasons Terry Taylor never distanced himself from the stupid Red Rooster gimmick is that he kept going back to that same look, aside from the rooster mohawk. He did the Taylor Made Man gimmick with the Dibiase suit for awhile, but that didn't last long, and he immediately went back to the same look and colors he had as the Rooster. Why not go with an entirely different look?
ReplyDeleteNo wonder the dude still gets Rooster chants.
You know what grinds my gears? "Beast Mode". Beast Mode is the weaker of the two versions characters in Beast Wars can be. There's maximized, then beast mode-ed. Beast Mode was the inferior of the two, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO now it's a thing. Damn you Lil' Wayne, The Seattle Seahawks, ESPN, and JLB.
ReplyDeleteI think he liked it. It was stupid, but people seemed to enjoy it in a 'so bad it's...bad' kind of way. Sort of like how the crowd chanted "You Suck" even when Angle was a face, and how everyone hates Blog Otters but secretly loves it.
ReplyDeleteActually this Brock Vs. Triple H EC match ain't bad so far - though it looks like it has 20 minutes left, so I imagine lots of slowwwwwwwww methodddiccaallllll pacciiinggggg
ReplyDeleteKonnan had a podcast he does every week on MLW
ReplyDeleteThey're still both awesome and not enough for me to really care.
ReplyDeleteYour argument is invalid.
ReplyDeleteThis might be an unpopular opinion but I never saw Taylor getting about midcard range even if he was never given the RR gimmick. He was good in the ring don't get me wrong but to me he just lacked that certain kind of charisma needed to get to the main event.
ReplyDeletepoints for camoflauge sledgehammer!
ReplyDeleteWhether he would ever get beyond the midcard isn't my point. I didn't really care for or dislike him as a wrestler. I just don't understand why he didn't do more to distance himself from that horrid gimmick.
ReplyDeleteAfter I'm dong studying I'm going to watch all of the 2013 EC. In fact I'll probably get through all the 2013 PPV's I've never seen eventually, even the stuff after Summerslam. In hindsight the Bryan stuff isn't upsetting anymore considering where he ended up.
ReplyDeleteThere are stories floating around about his getting ticked off at people chanting rooster at him after he retired; he may have liked it then, but he don't anymore...assuming said stories are true.
ReplyDeleteYou have just taken yourself off the card of this week's Raw with that statement.
ReplyDeleteTHIS is how you do dialog in matches by the way! Heyman going "Stop! Don't! He's Hurt!" and then Brock going "That's my manager!" is hilarious! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI would say try and convince him since it is a PPV/Special Event and not just another RAW/SD/houseshow. I'm hoping Bryan is still champion by then.
ReplyDeleteHe had enthusiasm at the very least and tried to put everything over best he could.
ReplyDeleteSo Trent Barretta debuted at one of the One Night Only TNA PPV's last night and his name was, and I shit you not, "Ace Vedder".
ReplyDeleteAre they trying to out-awful former FCW names or something?
He seemed pretty gracious in the infamous gimmicks thing on the WWE Network
ReplyDeletePaycheck.
ReplyDeleteYeah he could have trashed it if he wanted to and not gotten fired.
ReplyDeleteOh! did anyone else make Wolverine vs. Sabertooth jokes Re: Brock vs. Punk at summerslam? I feel like they write themselves.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Trent Barretta memory is when he wrestled Drew McIntyre. He did a dive to the floor and completely missed splatting on the floor. McIntyre then deaded him with whatever his finish was on the outside.
ReplyDeleteNever saw that but in PWG he and Chuck Taylor debuted "Trenchcoat Man". And it was glorious. Plus they won the DDT4 tournament and Trent is getting over like crazy with the Reseda crowd.
ReplyDeleteThe only good rename TNA did was "Desmond Wolfe" for Nigel McGuinness. That's a legitimately awesome name.
ReplyDeleteYes. Yes she is.
ReplyDeleteHe's turning into a pretty good wrestler.
ReplyDeleteI feel like Farva did.
ReplyDeleteIt's so weird when that happens. I get one every couple of months
ReplyDeleteWas that that terrible tag team with Michelle McCool as the manager?
ReplyDeleteI watched that episode of Smackdown from 2007 the Network added yesterday, mostly because outside of Wrestlemania and Benoit I remember nothing from the year. After watching that show, I'm pretty sure I don't remember anything because of how awful it all was. Most of the characters/wrestlers are just plain terrible, and even the merchandise is embarrassing. Also very weird to see WWE in these tiny arenas that might hold 6,000 people tops, and even the upper decks there are blacked out.
ReplyDeleteYes it was.
ReplyDelete2006 WWE=1995 WWE with more cruiserweights
"dong studying?"
ReplyDeleteMight have to wait 4 more years
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I like the first one better to.
ReplyDeleteThe first time I heard it it sounded like the theme to an 80's horror movie.
No doubt, I've jerked to her.
ReplyDelete2006 was easily Smackdown's worst year.
ReplyDeleteThey badly needed someone like John Cena to anchor the show instead they got a sleepwalking Batista, an equally bored King Booker, Eddie Guerr...Rey Mysterio and a formally strong undercard replaced with Johnny Ace's worst acquisitions.
The show was so bad it pretty much shut a network down, that's something not even WCW could accomplish.
I can't be more then three PPVs away from them ending the separate PPV era
ReplyDeleteTrenchcoat Man is one of the 5 greatest things iv seen in wrestling this year
ReplyDeleteHer outfit though as their manager...
ReplyDeleteThe MNW shows get added this summer, though I'm not sure how quickly it'll be. If it's RAW 1993 speed, we should be pretty good. Less than 2 months into the Network and we've gone through 10 months worth of shows. Really hoping it isn't 24/7 speed when you got two shows a month.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this fatal four way match where Bret wins the belt. Should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes it is.
ReplyDeleteThe 2 had a good 2 minute match once.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory is his girly scream.
Yep.
ReplyDelete
