Yesh, this is annoying. Yeah, *this*.

Going through a bit of this famous Adams vs Austin feud, it was fun to watch Austin show his star potential so early, despite really rough kinda work inside the ring, but the true revelation was Jeanie Clark, who really wasn't allowed to shine the same way in WCW. Too bad, she was really one of the bitchiest valet I've seen during this short USWA stint, cutting good and fun promos and being all around a true natural heel character. And again, we owe her "Stone Cold", so hat's off to Jeanie Clark.
-
Damn, Jeanie Clark is a regular female Rick Rude, calling people "Dirty 9 to 5er", talking about her natural body and asking for the interviewer (looking clueless and like an idiot like he always does apparently) to stop looking at her boobs and if he also fantasize about her. Austin is a wee bit agressive here, but the "Get well tramp" was Stone Cold classic stuff.
-
Different times, when you could sit in chinlocks for five minutes while still getting shitload of heat just for anticipation of something to come, that could not even be that good. But yeah, what a post-match. Jeanie is glorious gloating about Toni and Chris getting injured. She's a real revelation to me after watching here be kinda just there in WCW.
-
Excellent promo by Austin. Does he look like a futur star or what ? Jeannie give the price of her dress, 5000$. That's sooo old-school. The handcuff deal was kinda kinky and fun. Austin being blipped for calling Toni a bitch was a Stone Cold foreshadowing. Another brutal post-match beating with yet another bump to the outside over the top rope. Jeannie looks like a queen here too (and it's impossible not to think about Debra, although Jeannie was better looking and a much more interesting performer to boot).
-
Toni implying Jeannie wants Chris back and calling her a motherfucker (basically) >>> Adams solid but regular 80's fired up babyface promo.
-
Austin throws some godawful looking punches here. Jeannie winking to the cam between each slaps to that poor jobber is priceless. She was absolutely great in her role. Post match angle was quite the chaotic mess again with tons of heat. Joey Styles would have lost his shit calling this...
-
I second, third or whatever how great Jeannie has been in her über-bitch role. She's got presence, she was good with the kendo-stick the previous week, she can cut a promo. Watching this, it's a head scratcher why WCW didn't use them better from the get-go, I don't think Jeannie cut one significant promo over there.
-
Superfly Steve Austin ! She's not the Sandman, but Jeannie sure how to handle a stick. Austin looked pleased. Hot angle. These two were gold together, you can see the confidence build with each week of TV.
-
Actually, the match was already over when Austin proceeds to beat the shit out of him some more, which is probably why he allows himself to drop him on the floor again and again. Lesson of the day : how to bump on hardwood floor. Good fired up promo from Tony. The "We were friends before sounds like a poorly thought out adlib (if that makes sense)".
-
A joke is always funnier when you explain it.
-
I agree and love the fact you used "independent contractors" here. Yes, and yes.
-
I must admit I don't follow your reasoning at all. So, what Paige is going through is tragic. So let's fire her on top of that. That surely would help a lot, as opposed to "Get her away from a possibly toxic boyfriend and focus her back on work as soon as possible"... Anyway. This is pure speculation anyway. No one knows what happens behind closed doors between these two. In airports, well, we kinda do. "The coke's in in her bags !" and shit... I just wish everyone well, like I said. (and really, who never had her/his partner throw shit at him in the street or slap him in public ? Ok, maybe my ex was borderline crazy, but still... I know the feeling...) EDIT : kinda odd coincidence, I'm rewatching the great documentary "Amy" tonight. Such a sad story...
-
Austin coming out to "Fame" is terrific. Him & Jeannie are a great heel blondie couple. The valet really do a terrific job in this feud. This is a lost art, sadly.
-
Hot segment, and not just because of the CATFIGHT !!! CATFIGHT !! CATFIGHT !! (yeah, hard to not hear Joey Styles when the two blondes are rolling around). Excellent promos from everyone involved (not familiar with Tony but she sure cut a fired up, believable one here), excellent brawl. Jeannie signaling "broken neck" to the cameras before slapping Adams was quite bitchy. Perfectly executed. -
This. I wish everyone the best.
-
Ok, the teases were good but honestly, it does kinda feel like a rip-off to actually not use the wire at all. Solid stuff with Austin looking the best he had, and worked pretty smartly. But it's also not exactly satisfying to me. One of these two should have bled to make the gimmick really work. It was a good Barbed Wire Teasing" match though. Lacked the final chapter like Onita would deliver at the same time in Japan. Kinda crazy to think Steve Austin was involved with this kind of gimmick, and so early in his career to boot.
-
This is what pro-wrestling needs nowadays, short promos cut at ringside, with people speaking in their own voice. Yes, Jeannie is not super smooth, but she does come off as really bitchy. Cool promos by both of them.
-
Adams sure gave a whole lot to Austin,who's sporting great Saved by the Bell tights. Can't get more early 90's than this. He does look quite rough again and he does those odd full rotation each time he throws a punch or elbow. Jeannie is all bitchy, I love her. This is more an angle continuation than a strong match, but it serves its purpose.
-
That's probably Pogo not wanting to do a job, so that was the shit finish planned I'd think. Fun to have a WAR thread in 2017. Brings back memories of buying some random WAR tapes so to see the random matches Dean was raving about on early DVDVR, and loving most of it. Randomness is sorely missed in today's wrestling, because everybody kinda works the same everywhere (or consciously works "different" as a gimmick or tribute). From today's perspective, WAR seems even more random that it did 20 years ago.

Why have Cena vs Nak on PPV when you can have a bunch of multi-matches that have mostly been done already, the 52682th AJ vs Owens match (leading to Shane the wanker having yet another stupid match), Jinder Mahal in a title match and a showcase of FX dumbfuckery and "creepy weirdo shit" in Wyatt vs DemonFinn ? Armchair bookers...
-
Tiger Ali Singh was supposed to be the Canindian Bret Hart. 20 years passed and the guy they finally put in the spot is barely a step above Tiger Ali in term of ability. More roids though. That has to count for something. All kidding aside, this whole thing is a stupid debacle. TNA had a better India marketing plan. TNA !! Maybe Dixie can help out.

What was the point of King Mabel ?

EP 23 got me back in the mood with four fun matches. Highlight was clearly Pindora vs Mascarita Sagrada Jr., with a completely ridiculous spot. Saltador freaky matwork against Marty the Moth was another highlight. Fenix vs Mariposa was worked as well as it could considering the characters basically (with Fenix aiming at N°1 babyface spot, which he always did better than Puma to me anyway). I love the fact they are involving Melissa Santos more, with the trigger pulled on the Marty the stalker storyline that was just always a theme. You don't need a fake cult and nonsensical gibberish to try and be creepy. Marty's vignette was downright disgusting. This is quite promising. More Rey vs Mundo buildup, and this is simple yet totally effective. Just stylish training vignettes with promos. No Dario stuff and I didn't even notice, that's how fun and easy to watch this episode was.

Classic Austin already. I've seen better beatings, but Adams is making the most out of it and makes Austin looks great. The mace was quite bitchy. Fun to see Austin's first major angle, and he looked the part. Him and Jeannie are great together. Too bad she didn't stay that long in WCW.
