    Gilbert calling the stable the First Family threw me off a bit, I thought he was referring to Jimmy Hart's old stable in Memphis. I always thought Gilbert's group was called Hot Stuff International. Anyhoo, this was fun for what it was. Barry's reaction to the invite was funny, and I was half expecting Eddie to cheap shot him and bring out someone else.

    As much fun as it was watching Fuchi and Jumbo work the knee, and Kobashi's selling. I preferred the Misawa/Jumbo and the Kawada/Jumbo exchanges just for the intensity involved. Most people only remember the Misawa/Jumbo feud for obvious reasons, but the Jumbo/Kawada exchanges serve as a good reminder that Kawada was just as eager to knock Jumbo off of his pedestal as his partner was.

    I like Tim's UWF/PWFG comparison for this match. I've only seen one other singles between these two (the 1997 classic) and I think this is worthy of standing alongside it. The lack of sound made it hard to follow, at times, but the mat work was great, especially the way Santo basically tried to tie up Casas in knots.

    LOL at the fans chanting "break his leg" while Arn was in the figure four. This was tons of fun, especially the finish with all the extra curricular activity. And, you just know that if this same match, move for move, with the same sort of booking happened on an episode of RAW, it'd be lauded to the moon, while a few others would bitch about the run ins and how it "ruined" the match.

    This is ECW before ECW! Chaos, blood, while brawling, manager hangings. How can you not love it?

    This was a really fun way to delve into the yearbook, even if it wasn't exactly deep. Cool entrances, especially the tumblers on the ramp leading up to Muta's, and pretty much wall to wall action. Weird to see Sting and Muta being buddies after they had such a big feud a couple of years back.

    Eh, this didn't do much for me, other then Fujinami's counter to Chosyu's backdrop. And coming after a fun Steiners tag match didn't really do any favors.

    Paul was awesome here, and like everyone else has said the Magnum TA references were great.

    Great promo from Savage. I cracked up at Perfect asking Vince if Elizabeth would leave Savage if he didn't win the Rumble. Of course, Savage didn't win and those pics of Liz and Flair started popping up . . . . . .

    I'd suggest a couple of promos from Tommy Rich and the FBI. one from January at the House Party show, and the other from May at A Matter of Respect. The January one has the FBI bring out a bowling trophy and declare themselves the World Six Man Tag Team Champions after they beat the Von Erichs in Dallas last week, and then stopped in Atlanta and beat the Freebirds. They namedrop Bob Geigel and a few other NWA legends, and after the lose to Dreamer, Balls, and Axl, declare that Geigel said the match was non-title. The May one is them coming out ot New York, New York, and attacking Blue Meanie and Nova, and Meanie juices huge. Rich dedicates the beatinug to the recently deceased Frank Sinatra and says he's the new Chairman of the Board. I'd say this is a MUST NOT. This is Sabu and Van Dam at their spot-fu worst, and even Hayabusa falls into the trap. Tanaka/Awesome and Candido/Storm from the same PPV are both much better.

    SummerSlam

    MikeCampbell replied to Cox's topic in Pro Wrestling

    What made Brock/Cena so special was that it was unlike anything else on the show. The fact that Cena won is almost a footnote, the match was mostly Brock kicking Cena's ass in a way that hadn't been seen before. Brock/HHH was the complete opposite. Brock looked like just another wrestler, and HHH didn't bump or sell nearly as good as Cena did. The last Pedigree, before Brock sprang to life with the armbar and won, looked like Brock almost got spiked.

    I always got a kick out of Cornette telling Shawn he'd need to collect more bottle caps to make an outfit out of.

    It seemed to take them some time getting their footing, but TNA seems to headed in the right direction without Russo at the helm of things. The build to the Roode/Aries title change last month was very well done, and the match itself was very good. Joe seems to be motivated for the first time in a good long time. I can honestly say I'm looking forward to Hardcore Justice a lot more than I am Summerslam.

    Not the night after, but a couple of weeks. He came back the night of the draft and speared Bischoff when it was announced he was drafted to Raw.

    I'm pretty sure they were done before the incident took place. Davey hadn't been used in quite a while, and O'Reilly was clearly being looked at as second banana to his former partner, Adam Cole.

    I think the concept of being a "draw" is really only applicable on the Indy scene at this point. My local group brought in John Morrison this weekend and actually had to reconfigure the arena to hold as many people as possible because the demand was so huge for him.

    According to one of the interviews that Cody linked, it had to do with one of the wrestlers calling himself the Fakest Fake Wrestler.

    The thing that struck me odd was that Shane's promo and Scorpio laying him out really seemed to make Shane into a babyface, and he was only a couple of months away from becoming a white hot heel. Shane wins the title, cuts a great promo putting over ECW, and Scorpio huge, and then gets laid out. Even if it was somewhat douchey of him to ask Scorpio to strap the title around his waist.

    Wow, after reading the preceding three pages, any respect I had for Davey Richards is out the window. It's a good thing 2CW quick working with him when they did last year. They'd constantly book the American Wolves in tag matches, only for Davey to back out after the matches were announced. After six months, the promoted pulled the plug and quit booking Davey. Hollinger, if 3XW gets a chance, they should definitely bring in Eddie, he's always a class act.

    ROH continues mooching off their former roster members that went on to bigger and better things, now there's a Samoa Joe DVD. Pretty mediocre match listing too, nothing before 2005.
  21. MikeCampbell
    I think I'm officially on the Davey Richards hate bandwagon after watching his ROH Pure Wrestling Rules match with Christopher Daniels. Daniels is trying to play off the rules and do submissions in the ropes, while Davey is doing stupid things like a giant superplex and then rolling through it just to do a regular vertical suplex.

    ROH's TV method of taping TV 4 weeks at at time was considered outdated when ECW was doing it with Hardcore TV and TNN, and that was 12 years ago.
  23. MikeCampbell
    A few years ago, one of the local wrestlers who'd been around the block a few times was telling stories to a handful of marks and trainees, someone asked about ECW, and it somehow veers into the FBI, and into a Tommy Rich story. I forget all the names involved, but the short version was that some big guy purposely worked extra stiff and really roughed up Michael Shane (Matt Bentley, who already had the rep of being a huge pussy). Shane whined to Tommy about it and at the next spot show, Tommy makes a b-line for the guy and knocked him the F out with one punch and was in his face screaming "You don't do that shit!"

    TNA would really have to work hard to do a worse job with "Rubix" than ROH did with Jigsaw.

    A Doc vs. Windham moment?
