  1. I like WM 26 Shawn/Taker better than 25. Felt like more of a fight to me and more focus on a body part selling. I also genuinely thought the ending was in question too which is a component for me in evaluating Taker matches.
  2. Awesome story Wade and wow and I'm envious of the live wrestling you have watched in your lifetime. Welcome to the board.

  4. Austin vs. Hart WM 13 is #1 for me On first thought the rest of the top 5 would be: Boot Camp Slaughter vs. Sheik Warrior vs. Savage Brock vs. Cena I have all of those as ***** Cena vs. Bryan - My MOTY for 2013 and ****3/4
  5. Computer for me with the HDMI hookup to the big screen for the "special events"
  6. What a bias against luchadors.
  7. Agree with Styles. Im still baffled he is held up as one of the bigger assets of ECW as I haven't seen it and would have him below Tony even at this point. This was good with Bubba running down everyone falling for the gag and making fun of Rocco Rock's age. PE of course cleans house which is cool but they honestly didn't get as big a reaction as I figured they would.
  8. I did like this promo minus the callout to the Big 2 which I agree at this point in time feels like them rehashing stuff from 4 years ago. Taz seems sort of directionless now that he has the belt at the moment.
  9. Nothing match here which is disappointing. Shit finish and Stasiak ends up winning. King gets a lame ass haircut as a result. I thought this would be the spot for advancement on the Stacy front. *
  10. I will third that we are seeing Hales become more comfortable and it appears the Brandon Baxter stuff is over and he has moved onto Pritchard. Unsure of what they can really do as Baldo is the hired muscle mainly for Hales but this was enjoyable semi-main feud stuff for a Memphis show.
  11. Stasiak has been getting good in this role and Stacy throws a better fireball than him. We get a big match set up for PPW today with some stakes involved.
  12. This was great and the perfect mixture of mixing state of the art flying spots of the time into a traditional formula that has been proven to work.Boy, does it ever work as I loved this crowd to death. Amazing to think we are only 3 years away from ROH as the crowd here was raucous for everything and hanging on every bit of the story the four guys were trying to present. This match feels like a rare beacon of hope in a changing landscape of wrestling that can plague matches to this day. ****1/4
  13. Not crazy about this finish although I did lol at the Whipping Post stuff. Hogan is at Thunder so there is that. This feud could have been built up huge but it almost feels like they hot shot it really quickly.
  14. Another program where Val is a dick and still presented as the babyface.
  15. Debra shows her assets and we now know what the B. stands for with Koko. Jarrett and Owen win the tag straps.
  16. I really liked this back and forth of Mick throwing money to the crowd and then explaining the night before. I think that was crucial as it wasn't apparent what had happened the night before but it comes into focus here. They set up a big match during Halftime of the Super Bowl.
  17. This was fine but the via satellite stuff hurt some of the effect of having Shawn and Austin together to jump start everything into Mania season. Good for the Rock earning the bounty.
  18. Over 25 superstar profiles.... get out of here.
  19. This is a good promo all in all and even in Bret dogging the cruisers, he actually does a good job of making Booker T seem very credible.
  20. I didn't get the sense of this being Hall's best singles match in WCW. Blanking on something better right off hand but I only thought this was decent. It featured some big spots but was also aimless and boy has all the heat from Bigelow after his hot debut almost been completely erased. **1/4
  21. This was crap all around. Stevie cant see the writing on the wall that he is on the B-team. Then Hennig gets jumped when he has been nothing but really loyal and actually put his neck out on the line a lot more than most NWO members. Stevie is wearing a $500 shirt. This felt like Nash booking for himself.
  22. Dillinger vs. Flair feud rages on. These segments are still fairly funny and Bischoff was game but they are commingle too much week in and week out.
  23. In clip form, this isn't half bad and I actually like Cole's call of Vince winning. The heat here was also great. I did watch this Rumble in full last year and while it wasn't good, I didn't see a huge difference in quality from the 1988, 1995 and big chunks of the 93 and 91 ones honestly.
  24. The chairshots are what they are. An unfortunate even that we know too much detail about. That being said, I was shocked at how much I liked the match surrounding it. The gimmick does have a hole in it as Loss mentions but Rock really took some steps here in being a ring general in my opinion and had a presence from his strikes to his commentary mid match. The big bumps were mixed around that the match was crafted to become memorable. I have been waiting on these two to have this good of a match and this is their pinnacle so far. ***3/4
