Grimmas

This is an interesting show. It could be an awesomely great show if they allow it, but we all have a feeling the booking will get in the way. Every single match could be awful to awesome.

The final episode!! http://placetobenation.com/pwo-ptbn-roundtable-top-100-matches-on-the-wwe-network5-of-5/

That would be pathetic, yet hilarious. Imagine Cole and JBL trying to sell that shit on commentary, complete with Heyman throwing ceremonial salt meant for Bryan in Brock's eyes?! That's arguably the greatest thing ever. Anyway, I don't know if I'd be so quick to say Cena turning heel wouldn't be as shocking as Brock beating Taker. I'm not saying it would be, but I wouldn't rule it out either. Completes depends on how it is done. If Cena turns heel forming a stable with Orton & Batista & Big Show type of guys being some kind of old guard trying to stop the new young guys from taking their place with a vicious beat down on the hot upcoming face. I think that would do it.

We can book the second official debate on the Super Show?

Check out this week's Pro-Wrestling Super Show for my promo on Kelly & Superstar Sleaze for the next brain buster!

After a year long few, that was mostly civil, these two let loose with a vicious "Mexican Death" match. Blood, high flying, insane kicks. This one had it all. There is one moment where Crazy is out on his knees and is all wobbly and Tajiri sits down in front of him and does a mocking pose. It's just so great.

This was a classic blood bath as Tajiri finally fights back against Corino and just destroys him. Tajiri is a sadistic monster wiping Corino's blood on his chest and killing him with kicks and putting him through tables. Corino (the heel) makes a few valiant comeback attempts, but he can't match Tajiri. I LOVE this match and have it at about ****1/4.

Get a dictionary.

Just a reminder, final part comes out Saturday! Then... a new roundtable in a few months? Maybe, do people want more of these things?

I'm still amazed that a wrestling company can have an entire crowd chanted to fire somebody who doesn't even appear on screen and just brush it off. The whole crowd wanted Russo gone, yet they kept with him. Now, if he was great and you did that maybe... but it was Vince Russo.

WCW did quite well with more titles than the WWE currently has. It's not about reducing or increasing the belts, it's about booking then well.

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. What are you talking about? Those shows were awesome after Nitro debuted. Random luchadores and other guys. So much fun.

Russo would had never booked that finish, because it was logical and entertaining and emotional. If he booked it there would had been nods to the booker and to it being fake and it would had killed NXT. Fuck him.

The casual television viewing audience would absolutely scoff at this show. And, I don’t care it you give it SEVEN MILLION stars—it would never draw on a national level and that’s all that matters. And, if these young kids aren’t going to draw HERE—they certainly aren’t going to draw THERE. Personally, I don’t care how the finish of the match was booked because I simply don’t care enough. Whoever is in charge hasn’t made me care enough. Today [the finish] will be all right because it was NXT. Many will even try to make sense out of actually STOPPING a fight that wasn’t REAL to begin with. It’s called “the spin”? How you chose to make something look either “good”, or “bad” depending on your preference, or opinion. Well, here’s my spin on the finish of last night’s man event match between Sammy Zayn and Kevin Owens. Ready? Good. IT SUCKED. Vince Russo is the worst. He knows nothing about wrestling at all. Everything he booked is shit. Every opinion he has is shit. I fucking hate him. He ruined me watching the WWF. He ruined WCW. He ruined TNA and he ruins everything he touches. Fuck him.

WCW Monday Nitro Mall of America @ Minneapolis, MN September 4, 1995 The show opens with Eric Bischoff, Steve McMichael & Dusty Rhodes at ringside welcoming us to the debut episode of Nitro! 1.

Ric Flair is backstage and gives a promo on Sting about taking the US Title and that things are patched up with Arn and he will be in his corner. 2. WCW World Television Champion The Renegade vs Diamond Dallas Page w/ Max Muscle & Diamond Doll DDP pinned the Renegade in a few seconds after hitting the Diamond Cutter at the opening bell two win the TV Title. A video backage hyping up the debut of Sabu next week plays! 3. WCW United States Champion Sting vs Ric Flair w/ Arn Anderson Lex Luger walked out at about 12 minutes. Sting confronted Luger. At this point Arn confronted Flair. Both men were counted out. Scott Norton and Mike Rotunda cut a promo backstage talking about their debut as a tag team next week. Rotunda takes a shot at the IRS gimmick. 4. WCW World Chmpion Hulk Hogan vs Kamala Hulk Hogan pinned Kamala in 6 minutes with a body slam and leg drop. After the match the Kevin Sullivan, The Zodiac & Shark attacked Hogan. Sting & Savage came out and chased them off leaving Hogan alone. Lex Luger then walked down the aisle and pointed to the World Title as the show went off the air.

I was really enjoying booking the WWE at the start of the year, but I hated how shitty the WWE was doing! I got so annoyed at their booking of the Rumble, that I quit. It was fun though, so I wanted a new project. I really enjoyed lots of parts of WCW from the beginning of Nitro till it's closing date. However there was a LOT of issues. What I am going to do here is do my spin of WCW. A lot of the main stuff will stay in place with maybe a slight twist. There will be some major changes though, as I see fit. However nWo, Sting-Hogan at Starrcade will remain in tact. I'm not changing everything, just having some fun in a realistic manner.

Episode 4 is up now! http://placetobenation.com/pwo-ptbn-roundtable-top-100-matches-to-watch-before-you-die-4-of-5/

Roman Reigns was always going to bomb on the live crowd. He is nowhere near ready for the main event scene. Im not a Reigns hater but if he the supposed god saviour of WWE for the next decade pushing him now to the main event scene is the wrong thing to do. Some of the decisions WWE come up with is crazy considering the fans are the ones who make a wrestler. Maybe in the future they do a voting system. Let the fans vote for who should win the Rumble. We all know its pre determined well us adults do so there be no harm in us voting for who we want to win. Please stop posting while drunk. Whats wrong with a voting system? Least then the fans get what they want. Ive seen plenty of fans crap on a match because their favourite didnt win. This place doesn't need gimmick posters. Grow up or go away. I really dont see how my comment is in need of growing up or going away. There are plenty of sulky fans at the moment just because their fav didnt win. Dont really see how you can warrant a post like that. What is so wrong with a voting system because at the end of the day the fans would get what they want. A voting system?????? Could you imagine watching a movie and we vote whether the good guy wins in the end or not? NO? BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING MORONIC!

This one is close. What is funny about this whole thing is that there is like 25-50 guys that you could argue are better than Arn. I named twenty, but I could had named a lot more. Parv is just being silly. As for Tully vs Arn, I could be swayed either way. I prefer Arn due to like the role he played better than the role Tully played most of their careers. Arn is more serious, while Tully is more silly.

Thanks for the feedback, it's always fun to get together with Marc & Glenn. We have talked and after N2R '98 we will add in the year in review type shows that Parv & Chad do. 1998 will follow N2R and then the other previous years will be mixed in as we go along.

Can he retire already?

Edge always seemed like a guy who could have great feuds with anyone except the Matt Hardy angle when that spat happened. I loved all the matches these two had but after he whole Lita/Edge thing when they battled on Raw something just wasent there. Yeah, that Kane feud was freaking great, eh? I can't even think of one great Edge feud, let alone all of his feuds being great.
