    Savage promoting WM5 on Arsenio and being awesome: http://www.cagesideseats.com/2011/5/21/218...n-youtube-my-my This is an amazing find, he's perfect here.

    Everyone here is really underrating Jake Roberts' name value, at least as "Jake The Snake." The name and gimmick are remembered by the mainstream a lot more than anyone else below the very top level.

    It's not just me that thinks the new COO sounds like he's potentially Jim Herd 2: Electric Boogalou, right?

    Are you being factious? No, I'm not being facetious. How old did you think I was?

    That said, it was worked as an I Quit Match without a mic or the specifics.

    I was thinking the same thing. This is the first wrestling death I can think if that feels like a huge world in mourning celebrity death, because he was SUCH a big name and memorable personality, plus there's a ton if mainstream coverage. Then it feels extra tragic because he and his wife just celebrated their first anniversary, and they had reunited decades after she was his girlfriend in his late teens/early twenties when he was a baseball player.

    The match was in Regina, Saskatchewan. And even if we can be sure it was a great match, the topic at hand as "matches you must see before you die." There is no way for any of us to see that match before we die since scientists are still a ways away from developing reliable methods of time travel.

    Please don't tell me someone did this. Someone really did this. You may not have ever crossed paths with him, though.

    The Rock doing Bret Hart's sleeper reversal in the 2nd and 3rd WM matches ith Austin: Probable callback or homage Steamboat using the Double Arm Chickenwing on Flair in '94: Obvious callback to the 2nd and 3rd falls of their Clash 6 match Linda Miles working Nidia's arm at Arena Coliseo in Mexicon televised in Japan to play off a match on WWE Heat when they did the same: You're reading way too much into it, possibly for prurient reasons.

    Bix replied to Loss's topic in Pro Wrestling

    Err, Jingus, he said Texas. The Savoldis are still doing their PPVs so if they sold anything to WWE, it was just the Texas stuff, maybe because someone had been alerted to the WCCW collection being sort of incomplete without it. If it came with the WCCW stuff, I would think they would've used it before now because there were times where it was conspicuous that they didn't have it (the same way that for licensing reasons they never show any Bret Hart Stampede clips when you'd expect them to show up, like in a montage of all of the Hart brothers who wrestled with clips from Stampede but Bret would be the only one shown in a WWF clip). Maybe they just licensed it?

    "Learned psychology" was a term someone came up with (and others later made fun of) for stuff playing off previous matches. It could lead to some incredibly bizarre over analysis .
  18. Bix
    I should amend that: It was body parts and "learned psychology" with plenty of praise for the latter in AJPW. Dave was far from the only person pushing Mutoh as the master of ring psychology for the work the leg shtick back then.
  19. Bix
    2001 Mutoh was kinda the peak of "ring psychology consists solely of body part selling" thinking about smarks, wasn't it? Mutoh's shtick that led to all of the comments from Dave and others raving about his psychology was just him constantly working his opponent's knee to set up the Shining Wizard or maybe a figure four leglock submission. Has anyone here watched his Triple Crown win over Tenryu recently? That was the most widely liked Mutoh match from that period and was a workrate sprint that was completely the opposite of what was expected of them. By the way...when did "Mutoh" and "Ohtani" become the accepted Romanization/transliteration, anyway?

    It's over, Johnny.

    I meant from Keith's perspective since I knew I could do that.
  22. Bix
    John, have you seen Final Conflict? I couldn't remember. I can see the argument for Wargames '92 over it but it's an incredible match and probably the best "traditional" cage match I've ever seen.
  23. Bix
    When did Kenny do THAT? I always liked him at RIM and UKFF in years past.
  24. Bix
    Phil and Dylan have covered the rest but this was based on: 1. People saying they didn't like Mark Henry because he was "fat." 2. People saying they didn't like Mark Henry because he was "sweaty," something I've never seen another wrestler criticized before or since. They only said it about the black guy who once cut a promo about putting his "stank" on a pretty blond girl (and has since had a non-sequitur skit done on TV about bottling his horrible, animalistic odor).

    Dude, it's not like you found Jesus in prison, you just say you've moveD on from thinking black people are subhuman and demoing the Holocaust to...not doing that and tell people to drop it when you have a habit of saying strangely negative things about black wrestlers and never explain how you got over your virulent racism.
