[1999-05-16-ECW-Hardcore Heaven] Sid vs Justin Credible
BackToBionic replied to Superstar Sleeze's topic in May 1999
Shane Douglas was supposed to put over Credible (probably as his last match for ECW) but he let it be known, about a week out, that he wasn't gonna show. Heyman asked Sid to replace Douglas but of course Sid didn't want to lose and Credible was on his way to becoming a top guy in ECW (as sad as that is). So we got this. It definitely can't be worse than whatever Douglas and Credible could have done on this night. -
Hayes was trained by Afa.

I think Daniels just got this gig because APW sourced a lot of wrestlers for this kind of thing in LA, including Daniels himself for the Pro Wrestling Exposed thing.

McMahon was pretty brave to brawl, with almost no protection around him, through a crowd of people that were cheering for Austin to SHOOT HIM WITH A GUN a few months earlier. Also crazy that McMahon takes that bump and injures his tailbone but keeps going. This was one of the last times I remember listening to the PPV on a scrambled PPV channel. I didn't know who the hell Paul Wight was.

[1999-01-24-WWF-Royal Rumble] Mankind vs The Rock ('I Quit')
BackToBionic replied to Loss's topic in January 1999
While this isn't Michael Cole at his worst, this match would have benefitted from Jim Ross on commentary. It's a small nitpick though for such a great, memorable match. No one but Mick Foley could have had this match and while that's one hell of a compliment for any wrestler, I'm glad we'll never have matches like this again. It's simply too brutal. That said, one of my favorite spots is the Spanish announce table crumbling before Rock can do the Rock Bottom.- 13 replies

[1999-01-24-WWF-Royal Rumble] Sable vs Luna (Strap)
BackToBionic replied to cactus's topic in January 1999
Meltzer, at the time, said it was actually Mero that was causing a fuss about Sable taking any strap shots. Although I'd buy that they both didn't want it to happen. Sable even being competitive with Luna is such a joke. -
[1998-10-09-ECW-TV] ECW Extreme Music Commercial
BackToBionic replied to Loss's topic in October 1998
I brought this CD sleeve to an ECW show and got a few wrestlers to sign it, so I apparently did own it but don't remember ever listening to it! I remember handing it to Bill Alphonso and saying "just sign it wherever you want" since he doesn't exactly have a song on it or whatever and he was like "NO I'M IN IT" and pointed to a picture of Sabu or RVD that had like, part of his arm in the frame and he signed that. Good times. -
Whenever I do something slightly wrong at work I always think to myself "FIRE ME! I'M ALREADY FIRED!"

[1998-07-26-WWF-Fully Loaded] Sable and Jacqueline Bikini Contest
BackToBionic replied to Loss's topic in July 1998
The juxtaposition of Dustin's super earnest prayer with Jacqueline's nip slip really made me laugh. -
I was in middle school when this happened and one of my friends (female) saw Juventud's face and fell in love. She would watch every week just to see him. Even now when I see her she asks me about Juvie. So hey, the mask removal worked on *somebody* ?

[1998-01-18-WWF-Royal Rumble] Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker (Casket)
BackToBionic replied to Loss's topic in January 1998
Just watched this again and as much as I think Shawn is an all-time asshole at this point, I gotta hand it to him. He goes for broke despite the early back injury. There are times when he is walking gingerly between spots and openly wincing (like when he's hoisting the ring steps over Taker during that section) but it's played as normal selling and I definitely didn't know anything was up as I was watching it live. The ending was kind of a letdown with Michaels not even being involved but I guess Michaels vs Austin for the title sells itself and they were trying to set up the second biggest match for Mania with Kane vs Taker.- 20 replies

I have voted for just about every wrestler the majority hates but at least I didn't rank HHH.
-
I'm surprised I had Sasha lower (at 79) than her average (which was just over 73). When ranking I thought I'd be the high vote on quite a few people, as I have differing opinions to the consensus of this board, but boy was I wrong! I'm enjoying this wacky part of the countdown while it lasts because I think the higher we go the more there will be multiple high voters and shorter gaps between high votes and low votes. I know people will continue to disagree right up to the #1 spot but I just think it will become a smaller minority of people really pissed about where wrestlers are landing on the list.

After this round of postings I know why you hear stories about Robert Fuller's junk and not Rush.

Kind of cool that my first guy to come up was my #100 (Mistico).

My teenage boyfriend wrestled in a backyard fed (it was the 90s ok) and Chris Masters was in it. I used to watch this dude wrestle in the woods on a tarp. I have a video of some of his matches and he takes a bump INTO a big ditch. He went by the name Shawn Michaels, which was weird because most guys had their own gimmick and name at least. I wanted to vote for him just because of the fact that I know how hard he worked to get to the WWE and I knew even when he was vanilla muscle guy #1,782 that he loved professional wrestling. Seeing him burn that image to the ground and rise from the ashes as a damn fine worker, I should have voted for him, but I didn't. Glad other people did. He's a good guy.

I'm using a Roku Stick and haven't had so much as a stutter and been watching since 5pm. Roku is just on some other world shit when it comes to the network.
-
Yeah, it seems they are exactly one year behind on PWG, but CZW seems very current as well as some of the indies.
-
I just subscribed to the Highspots Roku channel (you can also watch on pc thru pivotshare) a few days ago and it's very nice. Well over a hundred shows (czw and pwg mostly though there are a few indies and ecw fancams) and over 100 shoot interviews. Haven't had a single instance of buffering or any other problems.

McMichael should stop leaving his jacket unattended.

[1997-08-03-WWF-Summerslam] Mankind vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley (Cage)

Yeah, then she looks like an idiot wandering around while Foley does his spot. -
[1997-08-02-ECW-Monaca, PA] Terry Funk vs Shane Douglas
BackToBionic replied to Loss's topic in August 1997
I legit LOL'd when Funk fought the old lady for her Franchise banner...and she won! -
The crowd were so hot you could barely hear Bret at points. Pretty impressive for WWF, for sure.
