    The point remains that even though I don't know your mom, if I know she exists she deserves a certain level of compassion and sympathy that goes beyond your workrate.

    Thank you. This "the board is called PWO so let's examine star ratings and psychology and forget the fact that a couple of parents are burying their child any day now" attitude just doesn't sit well with me. Forget making excuses for anyone's behavior. Its an awful situation and one that no one should go through. Is it really asking so much to respect the dead a few days after their passing? Save the workrate debates for another day with respect to those individuals.

    I'll be at Mania with a couple friends. Was thinking about trying to stop by the WON get together on Friday afternoon but that would require cutting out of work pretty early so I'm not optimistic. Anything worthwhile going on Saturday that I don't need tix for?

    Who cares if he was a good worker or whether his death was drug related, suicide, natural or something else? When you've got parents that have to bury their child I'm not sure what else is relevant.

    Jesus what a tragedy. I know Reid had his demons but from all reports he'd been doing well in Japan recently. Just beyond terrible for any parent.

    This. Just because a concept is simple doesn't mean someone doesn't deserve credit for executing it. Especially when countless others failed to do so.

    WingedEagle replied to Loss's topic in Pro Wrestling

    Nice! This sounds awesome. Really looking forward to it. Can always bang out episodes that look at classic feuds, matches, an extension of the thread talking about individual wrestlers' best matches, and probably a ton of other random topics that lend themselves to lengthy discussions.

    Really enjoyed listening to this. Stevie sounded like a pretty decent guy who appreciates his fans. A shame to see the Extreme Rising shows over Mania weekend were cancelled. I was thinking about going after listening to this.

    For those that subscribe online, what format is the Observer delivered each week If its clean and easy to print and save I'd consider switching from my print subscription to online.

    I imagine the appearance as booked by the movie people who thus can likely dictate what topics will be covered on his appearance. Don't think Rock has much say in that.
  12. WingedEagle
    One of those issues that pops up every year or 2 where I can skim most of it. Oh well.

    We join to Eddy immediately slipping as he comes off top rope. Nothing special, but I enjoyed what we had here more than Liger/Eddy.
  14. WingedEagle
    Definitely a letdown given who was involved. This felt pretty by the numbers with nothing spectacular. Eddy delivered a great dropkick, while it looked like Liger was poorly positioned and didn't do a great job catching Eddy on his dive. Liger's half-standing/kneeling submission was a really creative finish I haven't seen before. **3/4

    Who says All Japan didn't feature great brawling? Just awesome, wild strikes from both here throughout the match. Hansen sold his knee like a champ and on the comeback delivers a sick power bomb to Kawada on floor. Interesting how they each used missed elbows as transitions in succession. Kawada slams Hansen on the floor and gives a diving elbow off the apron to the outside, after which point the crowd treats all of Kawada's offense as a potential finish. Kawada eats another bump on the floor, taking a bodyslam this time. After countering two attempted lariats, Kawada eats the third for the finish. This stuff does not age. Its just awesome. ****1/4

    Hayes actually looks legit and not completely out of place in this setting, even if the whole thing is absurd. Garvin? Not so much. Where did they find these people are who featured? How much money did they spend on this? Why isn't this universally panned as a colossal waste of financial and creative resources as the White Castle of Fear and other similar videos from a year later? So many questions coming out of this. Fortunately not much time would go into answering them.

    Love the pink outfit. Really befitting a world champion. As is showing up without a world championship belt. Little things do matter. Already settinguip the Vader match which wouldn't headline until July. The production & lighting here feel really minor league.

    Standard, quick promo from Cornette & the Bodies. Cornette could probably pull one off at this level in his sleep.

    Jarrett delivers on the mic with an effective promo setting up a cage match at the MSC, calling back to his dad potentially losing his vision in reference to what the heels did to Embry.
  20. WingedEagle
    I liked this better when I thought it was going to be a new Moondog named Hunter.
  21. WingedEagle
    Yes! They had a great closeup of his scarred eyes and as a kid who never had access to Memphis tv it was quite the impression. This was an awesome brawl, with Embry in particular going crazy with a board and garbage can on Spot, and the others working in chains and weapons all around. After Lawler pins Lee, the Moondogs throw acid in Embry's eyes and he does an incredible job selling it. Pretty awesome how quickly he went from a big time to heel to the lead face in the company's #1 feud in short order. Afterwards Eddie Marlin delivers a simple promo that he won't fire the Moondogs because that would paint his babyfaces as cowards. Simple, effective and believable.

    The fan club bit was awesome. I absolutely wanted in on that when I was younger. Warrior talks about Sid using his curse to spread doom on his good friend Hulk Hogan and there are kids everywhere. This felt inappropriate.
  23. WingedEagle
    Sad to see Moondog Spike passed away. I'm watching the '92 Yearbook at this time and they were a truly unique, special team. http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-sto...son-passes-away

    I haven't seen any of the highly touted NJ elimination matches as I've yet to grab that 80s set, but I agree that this format is great -- keep it simple while avoiding silly handicap situations.
  25. WingedEagle
    Ha guess you've thought about this one. I also found it curious that Kawada closed for his side rather than Misawa so him coming in with an injury definitely makes sense. No question it'd have been stronger with Taue in Kimura's place. A lot stronger. But after the opening this didn't have the same urgency or focus that I'd want from this crew. THey were going to go over an hour and that's that -- whatever it took get there the were getting there, no matter what shortcuts they had to take. I'm a fan of this layout but when you look at it in comparison with their straight tags and six mans, it juts doesn't seem like anyone was looking to blow the roof off the building.
