If you didn't catch it when it aired on the live stream last night, go to Originals>Original Specials and watch Warrior: The Ultimate Legend. A few pieces from the new Warrior DVD, but the more captivating stuff was added in after news of his passing. We get the Warrior story from the beginning, including some old footage of he and Sting as The Blade Runners, and Sting himself makes a talking head appearance in more than one segment. This was a heartfelt tribute to Warrior, almost as if WWE had publicly apologized for the Self-Destruction DVD. Very well done.

Comments

  1. Started watching kotr 97 last night and was wondering 1)was Bret legit hurt between the April ppv and the July show? 2) how deep would huntor bury a guy if he bombed as bad as hhh did in his first big spot (Foley made that match just barely watchable and hhh stunk up the place)

    ReplyDelete
  2. Sting did a talking head deal on the Warrior's Best Matches thing also where he talked about how Warrior used to take orange juice and tuna fish, blend them together and drink it explaining to Sting that it gave him his vitamins and his protein all at once... it seems more and more like the Sting rumors are true.

  3. God I love that Austin/Hbk match.

    1997 WWF: best year ever.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Funny how Austin was on the rise, but he jobbed to Bret like 6 times, then got a DQ win against him... then lost a title match to Taker the previous month... then a double countout instead of a win against HBK. OMG BURIED!!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Just got home after working an overnight. Debating gym, wwe network, or afternoon bar delight

    ReplyDelete
  6. Bret wrote in his book that he was legit injured. He got convinced to do a few Raws from a wheelchair, which actually turned out to be some of the best Raws ever, so I'm glad Vince talked him into flying in.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Watched Legends House this morning. Thought it was ok for what it was. Started off really slow with spending almost 15 minutes getting everyone into the house. I got a couple of chuckles out of it and kind of enjoyed seeing these guys so I'll probably keep watching it for Piper if nothing else.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Bret being hurt made those segments better. He could do the annoying heel "If I wasn't in this wheelchair I'd...." thing, and Austin didn't give a shit and had no problem beating up a guy in a wheelchair.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I'm reading some old online rants from the Attitude Era and the IWC BURIES the majority of stuff. It's funny reading in hindsight since it's viewed upon as such a great era.

    ReplyDelete
  10. 2000 was indeed awesome. 1997 was better. /fact

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm looking forward to revisiting 97 with the PPVs and once the raws are up there. I was a WCW guy that year so while I have seen some of the PPVs I haven't really "lived" that year.

    ReplyDelete
  12. to compare it to sports, 1997 was like being part of building the pieces of a championship team. 2000 was like year #3 of the dynasty. So the building and improving part is more exciting to me, so I'll go with 1997.

    ReplyDelete
  13. That is pretty much the entire history of the IWC, Say that everything sucks in the present, only to realize in the future that it was nowhere near as bad as they thought, while they continue to complain about how everything sucks in the present. Quite fascinating to witness at times.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Summer Rae's nose must be playing the grappling hook in an action scene for Marine 4.

    ReplyDelete
  15. As someone who was WWF through and through it was really jarring how quickly they went from "this sucks" (1996) to "holy shit this is awesome".

    Basically once Bret came back and they dropped "Boyhood Dream" Shawn it was glorious.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Also incredibly refreshing to see a USA vs "evil foreign country" feud to actually have 2 legit sides of the story, and the USA actually losing!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Yeah, everything just felt so new and *different* in 97. The main event crew was shades of grey done right. 6 guys that just didn't like each other and wanted to be champ. Even the babyfaces didn't really get along with each other.

    Plus IMO the creative peak for Bret, and the creative/physical peak for Shawn and Austin.

    Plus Sid.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Atmosphere at those Canadian Raws was tremendous. I remember Edmonton and Halifax in particular. You could tell everybody (especially the Harts, Austin, and Shawn) were having a blast at those shows.

  19. But Dixie's back on TV!!!

    "Russo is currently on the TNA payroll as a consultant."


    And people wonder why I say "Fuck this company". Actually, I doubt anyone questions why I say that.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Layla is an upgrade over Summer Rae.

    ReplyDelete
  22. How many times has Russo been paid for what sounds like sitting at home and throwing out spit ball ideas?

    ReplyDelete
  23. I've been online since late 2003 and this is very accurate.

    ReplyDelete
  24. TNA World Champion Eric Young sounds like the kinda thing Russo would do.


    "My job is to get people to watch the show, Eric Young being a comedy jobber for six years DOES NOT MATTER!"

    ReplyDelete
  25. You're answer is correct.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yea..but..now now is the really worst time. Everything sucks for real this time!

  27. The Kliq loves talking about The Kliq.

  28. Daniels deserved a World title run.

    ReplyDelete
  29. That Warrior doc was amazing for a variety of reasons. Considering how recent most of the footage was (going to Titan Tower in March, Hall of Fame/WrestleMania, reactions to his death, etc) it was still VERY well put together, and very well rounded and honest about everything. It wasn't some quick, "Confidential" esque fluff piece. It was just as good as the Foley, Austin. and HHH full length docs that they released on blu-ray.

    Couple that with the Bryan "Road to WrestleMania" doc airing literally TWO days after Mania - they are producing some fantastic original content for Network subscribers, and FAST. I also love how they can adjust the schedule and show relevant content. "Warrior Week", despite the sad circumstances that caused it to happen, shows how amazing the Network can be if they use it right.

    Watching the doc, Warrior was profusely sweating in EVERY shot. Even the shot of him outside of the arena after Raw the night before he died, his armpits on his suit coat were drenched. Tough to see knowing what happened the next day. I loved seeing the interactions, particularly with Vince, Linda, and Hogan's apology. If we was going to die, he wrapped up his wrestling legacy with a perfect weekend. It was still tough to see his daughters so proud of their dad, though. I feel so sorry for them.

    I have my moments kid. Just hope I don't have to deal with any crazy ass broads today, if I wanted to deal with that shit I'd just stay home.


    Off to work, keep it real homies.

    ReplyDelete
  31. The Hart Family celebration at Canadian Stampede was a better celebration than the Curtain Call. Bret carried the whole thing by calling on the fly where everyone should stand.

    ReplyDelete
  32. They could fuck over Aries' momentum with Hardy, Bully Ray's momentum (what he had left) with Sabin, and Magnus' (minimal) momentum with Young...


    ... but Daniels couldn't get the "upset" over Hardy? Yeah, fuck off TNA. You're not worth defending any more. (no, not for this in particular... just for the judgement this, and other events, have shown TNA to currently have.)

    ReplyDelete
  33. WWE is just going to beat this Marine franchise into the ground aren't they?

    ReplyDelete
  34. And EY is world champ.

    ReplyDelete
  35. The next time WWE talks their bullshit about revamping the tag team division, remind them that Daniels and Kazarian are sitting there waiting to be signed.

    ReplyDelete
  36. It wouldn't be like WWE to beat something into the ground!

    I was mad at not signing Bad Influence but at the same time the Bro Mans are doing a good job as a comedy heel team.
    I would still hire them back.

    Barely.

    ReplyDelete
  44. IDK everyone thought 2003 sucked at the time... and they were right.

    ReplyDelete
  45. But it had too many explosions, with only one that looked cool, and all Cena did was run through the woods for 30 minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  46. "Mr. Overdraft" Jef VinsonApril 18, 2014 at 8:52 AM

    Don't hold back. Tell us how you REALLY feel.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Due Robert Patrick's I don't give a fuck mode he was in.

    ReplyDelete
  48. That's Vince's favorite part.

    ReplyDelete
  49. He was credited to the cool explosion.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Looking forward to checking out the Warrior doc. since the Daniel Bryan one was so well done... gotta say though it isn't going to be difficult to be better than the HHH doc... one of the worst they have ever produced.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Don't forget about him getting pinned by Owen in the 10-man tag. How did his career ever recover from such booking??

    ReplyDelete
  52. Yeah, he was the Punk if TNA.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I think only the condemned and No one lives were good WWE films.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I actually enjoyed it a lot more than most did. I am one of the few people who liked the old school feel of HHH's super long heel title run, and the building of Evolution. And I feel Goldberg was booked WAY better than what is remembered. Sure he lost by fluke at summerslam, but that got followed by two 100% clean PPV wins over HHH. He looked like a monster.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Oculus is supposed to be good.

    ReplyDelete
  56. For someone with limited in-ring experience, Jesse is pretty good.

    ReplyDelete
  57. He was cool yet a sympathetic champion then Hardy took over.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I thought that 12 Rounds was ok, what it lacked in story that the Marine had, it made up for in the action.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Summer and I are going to be doing some filming also IFYAKNOEWUTIMEAN

    ReplyDelete
  60. Yep, losing by distraction/roll up on a PPV main event against the #2 guy of the opposing team, thus demoting him from World title contender to IC title contender. Does WWE hate money???

    ReplyDelete
  61. Crazy ass broads? Not the ex again I hope...

    ReplyDelete
  62. Was a die hard 3 rip off,but you can watch it.I thought 12 rounds 2 was better.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Because Hardy just had to overcome his demons.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Insecure, overcompensating, "2/10 would not bang" Comic Book Guy-types need not answer this question:

    Is Summer Rae attractive (not counting her body)? I... just don't know. Yes, right?

    ReplyDelete
  65. Overcome out the company.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I believe what he is saying is that he is less than pleased with the performance of TNA at this point in time.

    ReplyDelete
  67. "Mr. Overdraft" Jef VinsonApril 18, 2014 at 8:58 AM

    The build to him becoming champ was one of the best things TNA has done in recent memory.

    ReplyDelete
  68. The option C promo was great.

    ReplyDelete
  69. The Love-Matic Grampa!April 18, 2014 at 8:59 AM

    I think that with the influx of NXT talent waiting to come in, WWE has even less incentive to bring in ex-TNA talent than ever before. Maybe Jeff Hardy just because of his prior history with the company and Sting for the HOF/DVD set, with Angle and Bully being the longest of longshots. But beyond that, I think most those guys are out of luck.

    ReplyDelete
  70. But they are going to need to learn the "WWE style " first.

    ReplyDelete
  71. "Mr. Overdraft" Jef VinsonApril 18, 2014 at 9:00 AM

    They were the perfect pairing, and DJ Zema just put them over the top. They are a classic '80's heel tag team.

    ReplyDelete
  72. And they flushed it down the drain 2 months later.

    ReplyDelete
  73. "Mr. Overdraft" Jef VinsonApril 18, 2014 at 9:00 AM

    They sure did.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Their catchphrase is starting to grow on me.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Then A&8 came in.

    ReplyDelete
  76. "Mr. Overdraft" Jef VinsonApril 18, 2014 at 9:01 AM

    You have a funny way of spelling, "I agree with you 100%."

    ReplyDelete
  77. True, but you can always use two really good hands to help the NXT guys come along. That's the problem that is discussed on the Austin podcast a lot - you no longer have seasoned veterans to work with nightly and learn the trade. Everyone you're wrestling is your age and just as inexperienced. Daniels and Kazarian could be that trusty old hand that could pull a good match out of just about anyone.

    ReplyDelete
  78. They actually came in before Aries won the title.

    ReplyDelete
  79. The takeover killed the angle.

    ReplyDelete
  80. The chosen leader killed the angle.

    ReplyDelete
  81. It should've been Abyss.

    ReplyDelete
  82. The Love-Matic Grampa!April 18, 2014 at 9:04 AM

    I think they would be far more likely to bring back ex-WWE guys who already know the "style" or utilize some of the vets already on the roster. Fewer headaches that way.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Totally. My ideal woman wouldn't be as tall or thin, but screw ideals. Would.

    ReplyDelete
  84. The promos alone would sell them. Daniels can also slide right into a trainer role.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Even Gallows would have been a better choice.

    ReplyDelete
  86. "Mr. Overdraft" Jef VinsonApril 18, 2014 at 9:06 AM

    This shit is funny:

    ReplyDelete
  87. I didn't know Summer was married. I'm pretty sure Flair's hulking daughter is, though.

    ReplyDelete
  88. He was too good of a comedy character at that time to be taken seriously; I partially expected him to have the match won only to be adjusting his zubaz so Kaz could take a picture, allowing Hardy to roll him up. TNA tried to make him a little more credible leading up to the match (and did a nice video package), but he was still going for laughs with "Jefferson Hardy."

    ReplyDelete
  89. I was not sold when he came in as the Hollywood power couple guy, but he's definitely good enough.

    ReplyDelete
  90. "Mr. Overdraft" Jef VinsonApril 18, 2014 at 9:07 AM

    "Crazy ass broads" is a redundant statement.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. It's a shame though.

    ReplyDelete
  92. If you knew her in real life would you describe her as "hot" or "beautiful" without prompting?

    Like if someone asked you what you did last night you'd say "oh I went out for drinks after work with the hot receptionist."?

    ReplyDelete
  93. I heard a booking that Parks was gonna be the dormant personality and Abyss the evil one.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I am a member of the choir, and you are the preacher

    ReplyDelete
  95. Interesting to know about Flair's daughter... bad marriage runs in that family as well...

    :: Begins making arrangements ::

    ReplyDelete
  96. Would have made a few interesting months.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Of the momentum killers, Aries' was the best (pre-Armbreaker), even though he killed Roode's momentum for the decisive James Storm ending.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Fight club style of booking.

    ReplyDelete
  99. "Mr. Overdraft" Jef VinsonApril 18, 2014 at 9:10 AM

    She's fuckable:

  100. Very yes. Great body, great tan, and dancer are always good lays.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Just her face. Does she have an attractive face?

    ReplyDelete
  102. No, because I'd have texted everyone I knew while it was happening. She's among a group of very attractive women and still stands out. Here in the real world she's even hotter.

  104. There is only 1 type of movie I'm interested in Summer Rae...

    ReplyDelete
  105. It isn't legendary, but it isn't awful. If we were using a 10 scale for just her face I'd put it at 5 or 6.

    ReplyDelete
  106. "Mr. Overdraft" Jef VinsonApril 18, 2014 at 9:12 AM

    Does having a fuckable mouth count?

    Yes, fantastic body, beautiful face, long gams. I'm usually not one for blondes, but she makes my pee pee go DA DOOOING DOOOOING DOOOOOOING.

    ReplyDelete
  109. I watched a couple of old MSG house shows last night. Man, did the WWF love using countouts at those shows or what?

    ReplyDelete
  110. Romantic Comedy where it looks like her and the male lead won't end up together but in the end they work out their differences and do in fact end up living happily ever after?

    ReplyDelete
  111. Just her face? I spent way to much time thinking about this but I'm inclined to say yes

    ReplyDelete
  112. "Mr. Overdraft" Jef VinsonApril 18, 2014 at 9:14 AM

    She appears to have soft lips and a sturdy jaw as well.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Just be careful. She looks like she could push start an automatic. I can't wait until they bring her up in a Baby Doll role.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Yeah my real world example doesn't work cause then the body is in play. And she's definitely no doubt about it hot when you factor the body.

    I was basically just asking about her face.

    ReplyDelete
  115. I see her as one of the male leads failed dates.

  116. Every Jennifer Aniston or Jennifer Lopez movie ever?

    Only because of Robert Patrick knowing exactly what kind of movie he was in and acted accordingly

    ReplyDelete
  118. I was thinking Meg Ryan in the 1990's

  123. davidbonzaisaldanamontgomeryApril 18, 2014 at 9:18 AM

    To the credit of 12 Rounds, if you're gonna rip off a movie, rip off a good one. The Die Hard 3 formula actually made it surprisingly watchable. That and Littlefinger as the villain.

    Men and Women are equals AMIRITE?

  161. Same. Made him such an annoying prick that you wanted to see him get his ass kicked.

    The most significant babyface turn since Nikolai Volkoff.

    And it will be shortest turn since the Big Show's last 755 turns.

    He didn't like a pic I posted and called me a sicko because he said the girl wasn't legal. Of course he doesn't know what an adult female body looks like, so I let it go.

  170. Is that even allowed? I'm not sure I like where that's going...

  171. I agree with everything you just said. I will also say that it was more than "tough" to see at times. I hear tears welling up in my eyes on multiple occasions. It's not only interesting/engaging--it's powerful stuff.

  172. KOTR 94: Oh God this is the Art Donovan show....I'm going to feel sooo bad for Gorilla here aren't I?

  173. I think it depends on what you're talking about. WWF 1997 to mid 98 and WWF 2000 are nearly universally revered. WCW 1996 to mid 97, the same thing.



    I don't think many people's opinions have changed from when WWF became Russo-riffic from mid 98 to late 99 (the formula: great angles and shitty matches for the midcard, shitty/tired angles and great matches in the main event...with some exceptions, of course). Similarly, not many opinions have changed about WCW from late 1997 on. I'm sure some have changed their minds over the years, but most of the love comes from the large brushstrokes we tend to paint with in order to be concise or to compare to the relatively stale and sanitized product we have today.

  174. Why would they do this? When ever they would do other Celebs in the announce both they would limit it to a match. Why would they think putting an old gruff football guy for most of the show would be a good idea.

  175. Oh come on, it's hysterical!

  176. I disagree. Los Boriquas, the DOA, Rockabilly and other crap was worse than the worst stuff in 2000, at least for my taste, and 2000 gave us better matches across the board. Maybe there wasn't anything as cutting-edge as the Foundation-Austin deal or original DX, but there was more consistency up and down the card.


    I actually preferred Nitro to Raw in 97, outside Bret stuff. /opinion

  177. Watching wrestling all night wont help you get laid. Going to the gym will.

  178. HOLY CRAP the old lady in the second row kayfabe losing her shit over IRS cheating is amazing.

  179. Hope everyone goes back to watch last night's Warrior doc, was easily the best/most emotional thing I've seen them produce

    ReplyDelete
  180. Yeah, that one really surprised me on the Bret Unreleased Collection. I didn't remember liking that one at all, but it's terrific.

    ReplyDelete
  181. Then to top it all off they book him into a broken-neck angle.

  182. WWF 94: Spends the whole show talking about The New Generation...ends the PPV with Lawler vs. Piper

    ReplyDelete
  183. Yeah, but they'd have several on the same card. That's overkill.

    ReplyDelete
  184. I just love the grittiness of 1997. Such a great year, as we had more guys come into the spotlight than 2000.

    ReplyDelete
  185. I've seen them but I'm holding off on watching 97 WWF & WCW PPVs until the Raws/Nitros are uploaded. I want to just live out the year like I'm doing with the 93 RAWs.

    ReplyDelete
  186. I can't say enough about the Warrior documentary. Their production people have put together some amazing documentaries, but they've outdone themselves here, and when you consider that a lot of the material for this was gathered in the past 10 days, it makes it that much more impressive. Highest recommendation... worth getting the Network for if you don't have it.
