A thread in which Dylan compares various wrestlers to HHH
soup23 replied to JerryvonKramer's topic in The Microscope
I like most of the matches listed so far except the Taka match from Raw. That match is just not very good and was greatly benefitted from timeline in which it aired where you usually didn't see 1. very long matches on TV to begin with and 2. a lower level opponent against a top guy. I think most weeks of WCW tv in 1990 would have 2 matches better than that one. -
Is Corino pre 2005ish really in any worse shape than Jerry Lawler throughout his career?

[1990-11-22-WWF-Survivor Series] Interview: Randy Savage
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1990
Savage was really wasted on PPV until WM 7, 2 min squash at Summerslam and not even wrestling at Survivor Series and Royal Rumble. Pretty good promo from Randy. -
Stiff match. Better than I remembered. Why was Brother Love with Taker? Taker destroys Koko and the combo of the guys work well together. Him getting counted out is sort of dumb but still protected him. Roddy was out of control on commentary.

That is because you are a heartless texas bastard Will.

Here is Regals PPV matches 1993-95 with my opinions from the matches on memory: vs. Erik Watts Beach Blast 1993 - Don't remember but wouldn't be expecting anything good going in so it would have to be pretty bad to be considered disappointing. vs. Ricky Steamboat Fall Brawl 1993 - Maybe a tad disappointing based on memory but it has been a while vs. Davey Boy Havoc 93 - Really like this match and think it either met or exceeded realistic expectations going in w/ Steamboat vs. Shockmaster/Orndorff Battlebowl 93 - No recollection for this match vs. Steamboat Starrcade 93 - Disappointing match, these guys didn't click really well vs. Arn Superbrawl 94 - Great match. Wildly exceeding expectations with time they were given. vs. Pillman Spring Stampede - Good match, met expectations vs. Zbysko Slamboree - Very good match, exceeded expectations vs. Badd Bash at the Beach - Good match, exceeded expectations Vs. Badd Fall Brawl - Ok match, met expectations w/ Eaton vs. Nasties GAB 95- Don't remember this one enough to comment. Triangle match BATB 95 - ok match, met expectations Really besides the Steamboat stuff do I not see anything that was glaringly below expectations.

PWO has really been awesome the past month or so. I think the Yearbooks give everyone a great opportunity to go through a set and see what everyone else has to say. It feels like you are a part of community instead of a faceless poster. The Microscope section involves a lot of minutia on candidates but also adds a lot of credence to opinions and arguments for individuals. I look forward to the added interaction from the AWA synch ups and also the PWO podcast with you and Loss. Only complaint I have had was everyone last week seemed edgy and the microscope threads can intensify issues. However, I think in the past weekend everyone has cooled off and the discussion has remained passionate but civil.

[1990-11-21-NWA-Clash of the Champions XIII] Ric Flair vs Butch Reed
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1990
Good heel vs. heel shenanigans. I again really like the in ring stuff of this feud. Clear to see that Horseman got the cheers from the crowd. -
[1990-11-21-NWA-Clash of the Champions XIII] Sid Vicious vs The Nightstalker
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1990
I still got Zeus/Abdullah as WMOTY due to this being short but holy shit it was bad. Nightstalker might as well brought the house mic into the ring as loud and obvious he was calling spots in the bearhug. I don't know why he had some much to say because they didn't do nothing but punch/kick afterwards. -
I honestly do think a reworked gimmick like the York foundation could work today, kind of a more tech savvy Damian sandow.

[1990-11-19-UWF-TV] Steve Williams vs Paul Orndorff feud recap
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1990
Pretty hot feud and only thing beside unintentional comedy worth a shit in UWF. Dr. Death going ape on that ref was a highlight for sure.- 7 replies

Andre is now 7'5 according to Captain. Captain gets fired up. Coach is the manager of Orton. Kind of surprised Tolos didn't have a run as manager in Crockett or WWF from 85-90.

[1990-11-17-USWA-Nashville, TN] Eddie Gilbert vs Jeff Jarrett (Texas Death)
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1990
Morell was really dazed and botched the finish but I might rank this match because I loved the work on the leg. Probably best glimpse from this feud we have seen so far in 1990.- 8 replies

[1990-11-17-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Interview: Teddy Long
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1990
This honestly might be my least favorite angle of the year from a potential to actual output standpoint. I have no idea how they go from this to the crazy intense brawl at Starrcade but i guess we will see. -
The colors in USWA right now were outstanding. Dundees outfit is beyond words and King's blue and yellow suit looks pretty good. Lawler cuts a good promo to start us off then passes off to Dundee. Dundee has been on fire since the stunned silence promo about Jaime and this was another great one in the cannon as he is really fired up and moving around ringside. Jarrett finishes us off with a good promo from him. I love this babyface trio.

[1990-11-17-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Eddie Gilbert
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1990
One of the better Gilbert promos as he is so great when he gets fired up and produces the Memphis Mafia shirts which I like. Black Magic is kind of hokey and I don't know who this was but it wouldnt be Memphis without a little cheese most of the time. -
[1990-11-17-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler vs Eddie Gilbert (Barbed Wire)
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1990
Yeah pretty bait and switch end to this match and something that can really piss people off. I still really liked the beatdown as it was the definitive kill Lawler beatdown with no one left to help him. -
[1990-11-17-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Eddie Gilbert

I do love the rundown of the top ten every week. Gilbert is so smug going through it to. -
[1990-11-17-WWF-Superstars] Survivor Series Report w/Gene Okerlund
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1990
Scorecards were neat. I love these final hype jobs but in 1990 Survivor Series was clearly treated as the 4th most important PPV and Summerslam as 2nd. -
[1990-11-17-WWF-Superstars] Brother Love: Ultimate Warriors
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1990
Hype for Survivor Series has been lackluster. Pretty steroid charged promo with Warrior turning over Love's podium and Vince even saying Huh after he spoke. -

Little to little to late for adding this new theme.
