    Summerslam 2016

    PhilTLL replied to FMKK's topic in WWE

    The perplexed stalling bit is really annoying from a kayfabe POV. Like, what kind of idiot... Anyway, that was at least 5 minutes too long.

    Charlotte and Sasha blowing the Eddie/Rey spot did give me an excuse to show my friends that match during Apollo/Miz.

    Cody RHODES

    PhilTLL replied to goodhelmet's topic in WWE

    For whatever it's worth, "Dusty" Rhodes was also a fairly well-known baseball player 10 years before "Dusty Rhodes" ever wrestled a match.

    Eh. If Rhodes meant that cradle-to-grave much to Cody, he should have changed his legal name or trademarked it before WWE could. Certainly it would have seemed useful to him long before he seemed useful to WWE, and certainly he was raised to know how WWE works.

    I think Jesse meant he could have pushed for a no-DQ match, removing the possibility of Vader OR himself getting disqualified.

    4/28 is Tulsa, with the orange mat.

    When GMC is edited out it's usually (always?) because of the underlying music.
  8. PhilTLL
    As a face champion they actually like, the question is how long until they stop cheering him.
  9. PhilTLL
    I'm certain that's what they did. In fact, I was one of the people who was watching the game and tuned in to the PPV after I found out it was still going on. I saw somewhere on Twitter that they told cable companies they'd be running long tonight. Who knows if that's true but it seems logical. FWIW, they only have to tell the carriers if they want the program guides updated and such. If they just want to go over, they only have to ask/tell USA.

    Ha, it's still full of little allusions to the brutal taskmaster Moolah. I would love for him to interview one of her less favored girls.
  11. PhilTLL
    Sure. Jesse ran the Body's Strongest Arm contest, Simmons participated, got beat in the finals by Van Hammer (who also went over Vader in the semis). They referenced it occasionally as a distraction that the world champion really didn't need to take on. None of it would or should have ever made the Yearbook, ha.

    (Edit: So I'm not crazy and that link is a Fidelity PDF about New Hampshire 529 savings.) Anyway, I'm not sure if or how much it might have affected the gate or buyrate, but Hogan/Slaughter had been blown off with a Desert Storm match in at least a dozen markets that summer, including New York.

    Old wrestlers don't stop the work, they just work different audiences. This shouldn't be ruffling so many feathers, rather like a few months ago when Greg Valentine trashed the entirety of women's wrestling on Twitter.

    It can be two things, as they say.

    For the schadenfreude of those who weren't watching, what happened during the Rollins promo?
  16. PhilTLL
    Funny, because my argument against long podcasts is the Lapsed Fan Starrcade death slog given the numbers theyre doing your argument doesnt hold a lot of weight Now now, kids, don't worry. A lot of us have zero interest in hearing anyone do podcasts about wrestling (anything at all, maybe?) for any significant length of time. Although summer is coming, and that means long-drive season. What I might go for--and I realize this is an absolutely unrealistic amount of editing--would be a magazine-style collection of the best segments from one series, or even a few combined.
  17. PhilTLL
    Eh I don't know, you're missing a lot of good stuff if you don't start until February. How much time do you have? Don't watch entire episodes of the TV, or for god's sake the entirety of Starrcade 91, that will waste a lot of time. I would just go to the Yearbook listings and watch whatever segments with the key players made it onto those, starting from Clash 17.

    NXT talk

    PhilTLL replied to Woof's topic in WWE

    Oh I know, and it was like a hint of toilet water on the end of a fine wine.

    NXT talk

    PhilTLL replied to Woof's topic in WWE

    Absolutely agreed. "You Deserve It" is the sort of nauseatingly post-kayfabe meta bullshit that makes me want to never watch any 21st-century wrestling ever again. I hate the idea of looking at title matches and main events as rewards for what the performer-not-character does while you're at the show rather than, say, here on a message board.

    The Mid-South vote was 8 years ago and I still hate Tommy Gilbert's look-at-me ass. There was no physical reason for Bronko Lubich to be reffing in the 80's. On the positive side, I've always loved Randy Anderson, and he gave us the Luger/Hogan title change freakout.
  21. PhilTLL
    European uppercuts usually look awful, especially in person. Special mention as always for the Dean Ambrose Shitty Tope.
  22. PhilTLL
    Hot damn. I'm a sucker for double stomps and any other move that still makes me question how in the hell it's "worked."
  23. PhilTLL
    And of course the Flair/Garvin Detroit match.
  24. PhilTLL
    Yeah, that's the equivalent of interviewing an NBA player and talking about the time you made it to state in high school. It might technically be relevant, but it's not even a little bit comparable.
  25. PhilTLL
    Because--hold on to your hat--both guys enjoyed the illegal smile in real life, and they got paired at the beginning of the 2nd, even SHEWT-IER Vince Russo era in WCW. Clarke, by the way. He tried a lot harder at just about everything.
