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.
-
The hammered version sounds even funnier. I want to see this reenacted in TNA… I mean GWF.
-
Hey, insults. It's been a while… I have no idea how it's not a normal human reaction either. Like I said, you've probably never witnessed some big mofo being put in their place by a woman. I did. Funny stuff. Anyway, it's neither here nor there. WWE is not a normal workplace either. People are all fucked up over there. It's still pro-wrestling after all.
-
Yeah pretty much my point. The thing that makes it funny to me is the crowd of people in complete denial that something even close to that could have even happened, for some reason. Most probably because Braun = WWEhipstersdarling and Karen Jarrett = women (+ TNA & Jeff's wife at that). And the fact it was evilMeltz, who's always wrong about everything ever and HATES the WWE with a passion.
-
Jeannie doesn't get nearly the credit she deserves for being the greatest creative mind of the 90's. "Stevie honey, drink your tea before it gets stone cold." Yeah, Austin was raw. Wouldn't be too long before he would be RAW. He definitely showed potential as early as this as far as promo and look and carrying himself. Jeannie at his side doesn't hurt either, she's gorgeous. I actually like how Adams doesn't retaliate. Doesn't hit his former wife. Good. Good also how they don't say she's his ex-wife from the get-go. I'm kinda offended by the awfully stereotypical cajun name of that jobber.
-
Hmmm I thought the same thing. Those Indian guys...
-
For fuck's sake. Keep that stuff private, will you ? You didn't even click the link did you? They didn't tweet, it's a gif from after the match and people reading their lips He's gonna find a way to be mad about that too I actually clicked the link, but my old iMac regularly fucks up with gifs and doesn't load them. FUCK MY OLD iMAC !!! AND FUCK SAFARI TOO !!!!
-
The fact people are trying to find actual reasons to justify that it just COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED DAMNIT, NOT TO BRAUN, NOT WITH KAREN FUCKING JARRETT !!! is making this funnier and funnier each day. What's so hard to understand ? Like Matt said, tons of much crazier shit happens regularly in pro-wrestling. What Alberto and Paige are doing these days ?

Ku Klux Klan I vs Ku Klux Klan II. WHO THE FUCK DO YOU CHEER FOR ??!!!

Because Braun being rude (apparently, extremely so) to a woman asking an autograph for her son is a big deal to begin with in term of image. And it makes Braun seem like a complete jerk too (seriously, who does he think he is ?). Braun basically being rude to the son of Kurt Angle (who cares about how long him and Karen are divorced ?), well… if you are drunken Braun, yeah, you should freak the fuck out a bit (hell, if only if you consider Angle being kind of a crazy mofo with myriads of public problems… but really because he's Angle, he's back, he's an HOF and a legend respected by everyone etc…) People just don't want to picture Braun begging Karen like a bitch after he acted like an asshole to a mother asking for an autograph. People are funny like that. Still real to them etc… (bis repetita)
