Wrestler whom found footage would excite you the most
iamthedoctor replied to thebrainfollower's topic in Pro Wrestling
Yeah thats the one. There is a documentary on Jack where they show a bunch of clips from the Flair match so guessing it must have aired a while ago. -
Those damn shambles. If he didn't do them I could still be watching WCW Worldwide from Disney/MGM. Which in its early days before Nitro was quite entertaining.

No just no. If Shawn comes back it needs to be for the right reasons alough hes had a great career and doesnt need to return. He had his retirement match. If he did come back to wrestle the one guy id pick is Rock. Dude do you understand how the wrestling business works. Older talent puts over new talent to create stars. You should lose your Dr. title for being so wrong . Id rather older talent not put new ones over and just sting to new vs new. Sorry if you dont like it but I just hate the idea of a fav of mine jobbing out to someone who cant lace his boots. We dont need another legacy being tarnished like Slaughters. If new guys are that talented they dont need a old star to make them good. HBK vs Rock is a dream match, I cant say the same thing for Sting vs HHH. I don't think you get it. Historically, older talent has put over young talent for obvious reasons. But why though. Surely they can get over without relying on the older stars and it probably wouldnt make a difference a decade from now when fans look back on some match. It doesnt hurt to have a odd match where a Legend wrestles a legend on a PPV thats considered a dream match. Its like saying does Taker really need to job to Wyatt at Mania because hes over anyway. Its just a shame WWE doesnt have the same confidence in Cesaro or Axel.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
iamthedoctor replied to Loss's topic in Megathread archive
Didn't Central States have a decent Flair vs Brody match around 82? Are you referring to the 2/3 falls match from February 1983? iirc this forum has a great search function. No I was just going through someones list and they listed a couple of their matches. What matches were listed? Dates etc? Quite a lot of matches unless you mean particular Flair matches. No idea on dates as some just list the month and year. -
As the Brand split is no longer valid they do need to reduce the singles belts. Just keep the IC title.

I did notice when watching the Network through wwe.com it gets very jumpy at times.

Introducing your Kids to Classic Wrestling
iamthedoctor replied to Smack2k's topic in Pro Wrestling Mostly
Care to elaborate why? Due to the start of the national expansion from WWF or another reason? Main reason due to the first month being the start of the Hulkamania! I remember this is the year when Vince started grabbing talent from other companies and bringing them in. I really enjoyed the Sheik/Slaughter feud as well as Tito/Valentine battling over the IC belt. Some great moments there. Im thinking Piper debuted in 83 as when I tuned into the first week of 84 he was already doing Piper's Pit and I was suprised just how far into the show the Frankie Williams one was. I kinda presumed it was the first Pit but nope. -

I always felt 1984 was a great starting year to get a kid into old wrestling stuff. -
Jerry Lawler - Any Outside of the Ring Shadiness?
iamthedoctor replied to Smack2k's topic in Pro Wrestling
Lawler was off TV for a bit during that period wasent he? Yes. Any ideas how long for? I know Shawn replaced him in the Survivor Series 93 match which didnt feel the same way. Was the match planned any differently had Lawler been involved? I take it Lawler would have still pinned Owen. -
Source? According to PWInsider.com Kevin Nash is one of the names that has at least been considered for this year's WWE Hall of Fame class. If true this would see him follow in the footsteps of his former Outsiders tag team partner Scott Hall, who was inducted last year.

The "Confirmed Stories of Triple H Being A Total Douchebag" Thread
iamthedoctor replied to sek69's topic in WWE
ah. i just meant that gimmick in particular but thanks! really it's the combination of that look with the level of push they got in NXT that makes the whole thing so corny for me. i can't help but compare them to LOD and such. If the Outlaws has out right refused to do the job at the Rumble who would the Assention have been booked to wrestle? Why would the of refused to job? What an odd statement to make in 2015. I dunno. Outlaws/Assention was just a dull match. Just wondering if the Outlaws hadent been booked who they could have used. -

Beefcake had some fantastic matches against Randy Savage & Mr. Perfect. Picking a Diva id probably say Carmella or someone around 2004 era. They had quite a few heck id go with Kelly Kelly. Worst wrestler id probably pick Hassan. He didnt have one redeeming quality to be and he was a bit overpushed to uppercard too quickly just because of how WWE played this storyline. If we are speaking out of the ring for worst attitude id probably say going on fan comments Batista. In the UK he was supposed to do a signing in Woolworths or HMV turned up late and then walked out after 30 mins as he couldnt be bothered. No idea of the year must must have been around the time he was World Champion.

Roku seems to be working absolutely fine.

Its one thing that bugs me when watching Raw. I dont recall being irritated that often by the live crowd not since after Austin and gone and we kept getting the What chants.
-
I hear this year we could be seeing Kevin Nash inducted.
-
Vince Russo because of the shambles he did to WCW.
-
Your not the only one. The only time ive ever liked it was when RVD won the thing and had a actual match. Never liked the idea of getting a title match at and time even if it means the champ has already had a 40 minute match.
