    For what it's worth, I recant my hyperbolic praise for this match. I don't know what the hell I was thinking.

    He's referred to it as the Netcop Formula in the past, so if he didn't come up with it, that didn't stop him from taking credit for it.

    Maybe he doesn't give a shit about social issues and just doesn't like paying taxes. Speaking of Helms supporters, it always cracks me up when Bob Caudle gets Steamboat and Youngblood confused during the Final Conflict cage match. I guess they all look the same to him.

    It looks like he's only going to miss TLC, which no one was going to buy anyway. He's still good for the Rumble.

    Holy shit: So that's pretty much a wrap for NOAH, huh?
  6. NintendoLogic
    That's how they're presented.

    The award is for high level techniques. Lateral presses and schoolboys are not high level.
  8. NintendoLogic
    Yes, pins. Small packages, back slides, Oklahoma rolls, magistral cradles, stuff like that.

    Is it really that difficult to understand? Yes. If you disagree please tell me what "technical wrestling" is. Pins, submissions, leverage-based takedowns. Catch-as-catch-can style techniques.

    Here's the description for the Best Technical Wrestler category: Is it really that difficult to understand?

    Personally, I think the best way to get into a style is to just dive right in and watch as much as you can until things start to make sense. If there are elements of the style that you don't quite understand, you can ask questions. But if those elements are a complete turn-off, you're probably never going to be a fan.

    I would throw out the results with Sting in the semi-main, especially if Hogan or Flair is in the main event. It wasn't like he was Bruno Sammartino and voluntarily stepped down after drawing huge for years.

    Sting for HOF: he never had a decisive role in wrecking a company! More pompous than deciding that something isn't worth discussing if it didn't happen in 80s WWF or 90s WCW?

    Any thoughts on Jovan Belcher? The Benoit parallels should be pretty obvious. A couple of quick thoughts from me: One, if the autopsy reveals even a hint of steroid use and/or brain damage, the ensuing shitstorm will absolutely dwarf the Benoit coverage. It could reach the level of the Black Sox scandal. Two: If Roger Goodell's record of disregard for player safety didn't already put him in Vince McMahon territory, his insistence that the show must go on a la Over the Edge surely has.

    I don't know if they want to face the potential embarrassment of falling short of the record set by the NBA All-Star Game. I don't think that's an issue. Like with the Super Bowl, most of the attendees are from out of town. Hell, Detroit's pretty much a post-apocalyptic wasteland and it hosted a recent Wrestlemania.

    This is precisely my problem with Vickie Guerrero today. The only comeuppance she ever gets is of the goofy slapstick pie-in-the-face variety, which would be fine if she were a harmless comedy act like heel Santino. But she's frequently the focal point of the show. She's currently feuding with John Cena, for chrissakes.

    A Hall of Fame is supposed to celebrate extraordinary achievement. What about Sting was objectively great? No one's claiming that he was a super worker. As for drawing, even if we assume for the sake of argument that he drew better than anyone else in early 90s WCW, that's hardly a feather in his cap. Being the tallest pygmy is not a HOF qualification. Neither is being a guy who was in the mix during, but not the main catalyst of, a boom period. The only thing extraordinary about Sting's career was his push, which is explicitly not what the WON HOF is supposed to be about.
  18. NintendoLogic
    I'm rather shocked that you think a Sting/Bret comparison works in Sting's favor. What exactly does Sting have over Bret? Was he a better worker? A bigger draw? More influential?
  19. NintendoLogic
    The Sting debate kind of reminds me of the sabermetrician/traditionalist divide in baseball. You can point to all kinds of numbers showing that Sting wasn't really the featured guy in WCW all that often and usually didn't do great business when he was. But to a lot of people, it felt like Sting was the top guy, so he must have been.

    Didn't All Japan sell out their Budokan shows just by selling tickets to those in attendance at the previous show without announcing the card?
  21. NintendoLogic
    According to Dave, Sting barely moved any merch at all and WCW execs lamented that the Little Stingers they kept pushing didn't actually exist.
  22. NintendoLogic
    I defy anyone to name a single thing wrong with this match.
  23. NintendoLogic
    I think Orton is good in that you can plug him in with anybody and he'll hold up his end. But he's not going to carry a lesser worker to greatness. Dave recently said that he thought the three best workers in WWE were Orton, Rey, and Bryan because they have good matches and aren't generic WWE style workers. I found this mind-boggling since to me, Orton is practically the poster child for the cookie-cutter WWE style.

    Wasn't Hansen blackballed in the US for several years after the whole deal with the AWA?
  25. NintendoLogic
    Again, if you don't think Punk or Danielson have done enough yet to merit induction, don't vote for them. I don't see the issue.
