    Styles says that Raven will inevitably DDT Dreamer after helping him out, so of course that doesn't happen. Sandman isn't impressed by Raven doing the right thing so he canes him into oblivion as Dreamer tries to pull him off. Don't tell me Tommy is developing a conscience for protecting Raven now.

    I'm not sure what this is supposed to accomplish. Now it's Heyman putting *himself* over at the expense of the talent.

    "Four of the longest months of my life." Jesus, is Terry talking about his feud with Dundee or his fucking promos? I'm glad to see others coming around on Golden--his previous long promo was terrible and this is just as bad. KAW isn't about selling tickets--holy shit, Golden manages to drop a truth bomb in the midst of this blithering. "This ain't a work, this ain't an angle, this is a shoot, this is real." Fuck off. "Buy a ticket and come see our show," a minute after telling us KAW wasn't about selling tickets...every time I want to wrap up my comments, Golden drops another nugget for us.

    Uhhh...sure. This old guy ain't no Bob Armstrong. Al Keeholic, a fatter clone of Mike Holmgren, is actually kind of entertaining, especially when he goes nuts on the punching bag when his trainer takes his beer away.

    Pretty bad finish and that's a rather laughable finisher for Casey. I know part of Cornette's job is to prepare guys for Pat Patterson specials in the WWF where they'll encounter these types of sports-entertainment-y match layouts, but I feel like he's overthinking things with these guys and asking them to do stuff outside of their comfort zone or expertise level. This isn't Smoky Mountain which is mostly veterans who can just go out and either do what Cornette asks on cue or come up with/improvise their own shit.

    This feels like the Orton face turn of 2002. Like, couldn't Conway have had a better motivation for turning in Buchanan, like, "I've done some bad things, but only in the ring, I won't associate with guys like this"? Even in the late '90s that should still play in a place like OVW.

    Just looking at this clip, Rico looks like someone who could have gone farther than he did. Not necessarily his fault, but OVW and WWE were in different worlds, to a much greater degree than WWE and NXT now.
  8. PeteF3
    Yeah, I'm not sure every single last OVW match needs a run-in or multiple run-ins. Somehow even though MNW-era wrestling is all about the run-in, Cornette's booking still seems a little dated. I enjoyed former Louisville police officer Dean Hill macing Buchanan after the match to make sure he was properly carted off to jail.

    Cyrus criticizes Joel Gertner for putting himself over at the expense of the talent, while putting himself over at the expense of the talent. Gertner apparently sees this promo, but Styles doesn't? There's that point-of-view thing again.
  10. PeteF3
    Not a bad impersonation by Dreamer. "We're bound by something stronger than love and hate"--yes, booking without new ideas *is* stronger than love or hate.

    Take a drink every time Arnold says "unbelievable." I'm not sure why HHH isn't disqualified for clobbering Hebner, but the match is fun and feels big-time with Arnold's presence at ringside. The post-match is a good use of him, too. Maybe HHH doesn't become a top guy for 5 years if this pattern continues, but man, the WWF sure seems more fun when HHH is regularly getting his ass kicked in-between getting heat, isn't it?

    To which Angle just sort of stared at him. "Riiight." The giant megaphone on top of the car is the real pièce de résistance here. I forgot about him propositioning the Big Show's mother, too. He hits Show with a car, sending the funeralgoers over to tend to him and allowing Boss Man to "make his Daddy a drag queen." This is so over-the-top that it becomes a sort of high art.

    Chavo tries to sell Amway products to a Villano. As compelling as it sounds.

    I think that's Ed Ferrara as the voice of La Parka. I'm dying inside.

    An outrageous and shocking expose...David Arquette played football??! He and Scott Caan execute the moves pretty nicely, though. Rose McGowan plays a Nitro Girl (!!!). It's not like she was an unknown at this point, what the fuck was she doing in this movie? Is this a step up from or below Bio-Dome?

    Whether it's recency bias or not, this might be my favorite BattlArts match of the year. Murakami was a revelation, already showing flashes of his vicious personality but unleashing some killer strikes and suplexes, and bumps. This is pretty much a straight southern/puroresu tag with the only real shoot elements being the submissions and KO attempts, and it's as glorious as it sounds.

    For the record I have just WWE Network and NJPW World at the moment (but also a multitude of DVDs, mostly from the '90s and before). I'm willing to shell out for a month's or a show's worth of product for a certain match, though.
  18. PeteF3
    I'm on board with this.
  19. PeteF3
    Takada sort of resembles that remark as well, at least here.

    The XFL is returning?

    PeteF3 replied to Grimmas's topic in WWE

    But the concussion issue wasn't there at all in 2001 either. The "hard-nosed, old-style football" pitch didn't work then (because people actually want to see offense and scoring, not three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust football in the trenches), but combine that with the fact that players aren't expected to play through pain and certainly not through concussions anymore and this is going to be a tougher sell than before.

    I think I liked the Ishikawa match a bit better because of the Ishikawa-as-Inoki factor and how they completely outdid the Inoki-Singh dynamic they were aping, and because it was such a huge surprise, but this is pretty great and I want to see Matsunaga against every single member of the BattlArts roster. I repeatedly said this about El Dandy at the beginning of my Yearbook journey, and as we approach the end, I'll say that Otsuka is one of the most versatile wrestlers of all-time, possibly more versatile than ol' Roberto Gutierrez himself.

    Tastelessness aside, the angle for what it is isn't badly done. I like Road Dogg hijacking the camera and basically forcing his way onto the TitanTron--gives it just a shade of the Horsemen and Dusty in the parking lot. Er, okay, the match finish isn't done so well. The daughter of the owner possibly raped and kidnapped? TUNE INTO SMACKDOWN TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS. Sheesh. Stephanie notably isn't shown on-camera and I think it was revealed to be a Penn State co-ed acting under consent.

    I love how the ponytail gives the guy away as a worker--I had the exact same observation. He takes some good bumps over the bar counter and into his friends. Bradshaw even gets the girl. "No wonder Minnesota beat your ass"--okay, that didn't endear them to the State College crowd.

    Al Snow strenuously denies he's a murderer, despite some surprising circumstantial evidence to the contrary. He laments not being able to buy his doll at Wal-Mart, "but I could buy a shotgun *and* live ammo!" Well, score one for Snow and the writers on *that* blow. Mankind presents Snow with a reasonable facsimile of a woman's skull to cheer him up.
  25. PeteF3
    Jericho has some fun with the name Beaver Stadium. Penn State has never embarrassed itself the way the WWF has...er, uh...okay, I'm just going to let that one go.
