    Loss, that was excellent stuff. I can't wait until your eBook is released.

    I don't see why any fans would resent Brock's deal. We can look back on how he's been used the past coupe of years and see that they've really done a shitty job of using him. So, they haven't gotten as much for their money as they probably could have, but that's not Brock's fault nor is it his problem. Like everyone else has said, good for him. He left ten years ago because he didn't like all the travel. So, he worked hard and became a huge name in the UFC. And now, he's back, with a big money deal and working the limited dates to account for his dislike of the heavy travel.

    I think the more interesting question is this: Would have Billy Gunn gotten that pop? More or less of one? Had they not pulled the double title switch, and Billy won the IC Title that night, then I think he MIGHT have gotten as good a reaction as Road Dogg did for retaining. Only because that actually would have paid off the storyline of Billy chasing it.

    Something that crossed my mind as I'm watching and reviewing Wrestlemania XV: Would it be fair to say that that show was the peak of Road Dogg's popularity? The four way IC Title match is horrendous, but when Dogg wins, the pop is amazing.

    My favorite memory of myself and my late grandfather was when I was about ten years old, or so. I'd found an old VHS recording of the 1990 Royal Runmble PPV at my grandparents house and popped it in at something like midnight. Grandpa got up to use the bathroom, heard it on the TV, and came out to watch with me. We both fell asleep in front of the TV.

    Is Adam Rose going to be the new Fandango? Where the music is more over than the wrestler?

    The best match of the tournament, and a nice preview of how they'd tear things up in NXT a couple of years down the road. Their chemistry is obvious, and they take the time to lay this out in such a way that, while Generico's flash cradle win looks like a bit of a fluke, it works in the context of the story they'd been telling.

    This was good for what it was, and that's really all there is to say about it. Compared to some of the other garbage on the show, it was an all time classic.

    And then the Shield turns on Sting!

    The Syracuse collectables convention was yesterday, and I found more luchdores. In this case, its AAA figures of Konnan (with hair!) and La Parka. The guy who was selling them said the cost him about $100 each, but he sold them to me for $20 for both. I was the only person who showed any real interest in them, and even knew who, and what, they were. The missus thought I was nust for buying them, until we jumped on eBay and found that same Konnan figure going for more than $80.

    I didn't think Cena/Wyatt was horrible or anything, but it could have chopped off ten minutes and not lost anything. Supercena overcoming the impossible odds has been done to death though.

    But, American fans, like the ones they hope to draw later in the month, know who AJ Styles is, and will probably pay to see him.

    Because every 3-way match that features a title change, has to have it end without the champion losing directly. It's in the handbook.

    It's the only explanation that really makes sense. He's been fiercely loyal to NOAH, he could have easily jumped to All Japan with Akiyama, or to New Japan any number of times.

    I'm dragging this over from the 2013 match discussion thread, because it doesn't quite apply there anymore. The Young Bucks have got to be one of the worst teams at at working a heel control segment. Between the Steen/Generico match from last January and the KOW match from the BOLA in 2011, I could never see them again and would be fine with it.

    His opinion of teaming with Sylvan Grenier versus teaming with Rene Dupree.

    I'll always remember Marshall's commentary during Superclash III, and the enthusiasm with which he'd say "Steve Do It To It Cox!"

    Hindsight being 20/20 and all, it'd have been just as well to have Henry over here. Swagger was a complete flop, until the team with Cesaro, and the reaction to Henry's run and his eventual elimination showed that there was fan interest in seeing him go for the gold again.

    KC could probably lump 1992 and 93 together with Gordon, since I highly doubt there's much to talk about with 1992.

    In an awesome bit of randomness, the Syracuse, NY Quaker Steak and Lube has a crane machine with CMLL Plush figures (complete with official tags) there was a Mistico right on top, and another Luchadore I didn't recognize (I think Mephisto or Ephesto) and I figured it was some sort of knockoff, until I saw the CMLL tag. I thought about trying to get it, but I didn't have any cash. And, it also hit me, that if I got it, I'd really have nothing to do with it, after I showed my two or three friends who would actually care about it.

    This was lots of fun! Finlay looked like he was trying to throwback to the days of his feud with Regal in WCW, amping up the stiffness, and Steen found an opening by going after Finlay's leg, and even makes it ultimately matter by winning with the sharpshooter. The stiffness and intensity make this seem like a grudge match, not the opening round of a tournament.

    He briefly talked about the early days of ECW on Forever Hardcore.
  23. MikeCampbell
    This. He'd be a great addition to the legends round table, if they decide to resurrect them, and he's perfect for things like documentaries, and have him and Flair do commentary on their first Clash of Champions match or something.

    I would think that Evolution/Shield is similar to the Shield/Wyatt match from the Chamber, an all out war. I agree that Evolution should win, but the match should go in such a manner that the Shield's stock still rises. Reigns can hit his big moves on HHH, and have the ref get pulled out to save him. I think Bryan/Kane should wind up being somewhat similar to the Bryan/HHH RAW match, with the Evolution run in to try to help Kane, and then the Shield making the save to getting their heat back, maybe with them running off Orton and Batista and then hitting the powerbomb on HHH, and with the playing field level, Bryan is able to beat Kane.

    My first non-Birdman look at Koko was in the UWF, he hits UWF jobber Gustavo Mendoza with the mother of all dropkicks. It even winds up being in their intro video.
