    If the person in charge of such things at the station wasn't paying careful attention because it's just fake wrestling, and who cares?

    I don't know why I'm so annoyed by it, because it's not like I'm in some huge hurry to see it. But, I don't understand why they're holding off on the 1/1/96 'Raw Bowl' episode. They've done the rest of January (even gone back and done 1/8) and are into Feb now.

    I always cracked up at the scene where HHH is talking with the old ladies, and Billy pops in and says that those are the chicks that HHH gets.

    Definitely. Watts would have had a field day with Henry.

    He recruited "Little Johnny" who's singing disturbed Cena enough to let Bray win that cage match.

    That actually makes the most sense. Watts used to spend a full day shooting local promos and it was hell on the boys to keep track of what TV show aired in which market, so they knew what angle or feud to be talking about in the promo. So, it actually makes sense that someone in Vince's camp or the TV station's camp dropped the ball and either played or sent the wrong set of promos.

    Bret himself actually rebuked this in his Timeline interview. Vince had him locked up until September, and the offer from WCW was far below what he was making from the WWF.

    I'm assuming the Heyman doc was listed by mistake. I checked this morning, and it's no longer listed.

    A friend of mine worked AJ a few years back, and was scared shitless to take the Styles Clash. When Styles picked him up, he just froze and AJ couldn't do the stepover, so AJ just tombstoned him and that was the finish.

    It wasn't so much that Schiavone and Bischoff got "heat" for it. Although everyone pretty much thought it was a dick move to try to shit on Mick's big moment. But it's more of an "LOL" moment, because their big mouths caused them to lose a lot of viewers that night.

    Beyond the ring lists the Heyman doc as being available, but when I click to watch it, I'm told there is a problem . . . . .
  12. MikeCampbell
    That's brilliant!

    I'll be a monkey's bare-assed Uncle! This is awesome. There are probably only three or four actual wrestling moves, but the stiffness and intensity that Andre and Stan use more than make up for it. Everything takes a back seat to beating the piss out of each other. Andre takes a few nice bumps from Stan, and even the Giant can't withstand the Western Lariat! Then Andre pulls out his own elbow pad and makes Hansen eat the European Lariat!

    This is an attempt to unify Verne's AWA Title with Baba's PWF Title, so the finish is almost blatantly obvious. But, this winds up being a fun match, even more so when you consider that both Baba and Gagne had age, and other factors, catching up with them. The first fall is a bit dull, with Verne keeping things on the ground, but, Verne does bust out a nice pair of dropkicks. The second and third falls are more like sprints, with Baba bumping Verne, and Verne doing a surprisingly nice job of stooging, but not overdoing it, until they eventually go to the double count out.

    I met him in 2011, and got to hang out with him for a bit after the show. Super cool guy.

    It looks like the raw replays jumped ahead a coupe of weeks. I'm sure there wasn't a raw on 12/25/95, but wasn't the "Raw Bowl" on New Years day?

    The Mid South crowds, especially in Tulsa and Houma were said to have been especially bad. As bad and annoying as the ECW crowds could be, when Paul ran an especially hot angle, they could get ugly. Until I see differently, I consider Shane Douglas grabbing Gary Wolfe by the halo, to be the heat record.

    I'm with Bill here. The fact that Will and Loss actually had to make an official rule over this is fucking ridiculous. That shit should be common fucking sense. As much as we all groaned and rolled our eyes over WP/RE and some of his opinions, at least that's what he was arguing, instead of saying that the only reason a bunch of people liked Lawler was because PWO is a Lawler fan's board.
  19. MikeCampbell
    Wow. I'm late to the party! I think OJ nailed it. Fun is simply one of the first rungs on the proverbial ladder when giving an overall positive assessment of match quality. To me, it's like saying that all boxers are dogs, but all dogs are not boxers. All great matches are fun, but all fun matches are not great.
  20. MikeCampbell
    Seconded! I'll also say that Eddie Edwards does belong on the list. Of all the times I've seen and talked to him, he's always been a really cool guy.

    I'm a bit more than halfway through the first edition of Back to Territories, and this first one is a winner. Corny and Duggan discuss the various names and faces associated with the territory, and talk about the horrendous road trips and crazed fans, along with plenty of good stories, and little cutaways for Cornette to discus the history of the promotion. But, I have to wonder how it's going to work for future editions though, when it's a territory that JC hasn't worked in, and, thus, won't have anything to really add to the mix.
  22. MikeCampbell
    I'm not sure of the source, but the date is what jumped out to me. It's right between two of the matches often listed as being the best of the '70's. Jumbo/Terry from 6/11/76 and Baba/Robinson from 7/24/76.
  23. MikeCampbell
    How is the Jumbo/Robinson 6/17/76 match?
  24. MikeCampbell
    And the boys get royally screwed, unless, like FPT said, TNA eases up on them working indies and doesn't take huge cuts of their payoff.
  25. MikeCampbell
    I don't have much to really add here, that wasn't already said. But, I absolutely loved this! The work was very engaging, and Lou was exactly what he needed to be. I especially loved Verne getting fed up with the cheap shots and just going to town on Lou during the second fall. The crowd heat also made this a lot of fun. Every time Lou went for the ropes to halt a Verne comeback, they went nuts.
