Oh, I remember the Apaches working not only intergender matches, but father vs daughters stuff in ARSION, and it was actually enjoyable because it never got ridiculous. Are the Apaches sisters as cool now as they were 15 years ago ? They weren't very good in 98, but by 00 both Mari and Fabi were kicking ass.

Beyond the legitimacy issue which has been adressed and with which I totally agree, this gif does scream "violence against women" too, and although it's not obvious when they are just bouncing off each other doing lucha spots (it does expose the whole style though), it can quickly be a real issue with me. Oh, and fuck the Young Bucks.

All those SWS tag matches are usually quite fun. And I loved Tenryu vs Ashura from later in the year.

Watching the Miss Jacqueline shoot. Again, RF's ineptness in 2015 is scary. Bad sound because Jackie's hair are *on* the freaking mic all the time. Then, classic RF moment : she talks about her very first match, then one minute and a half later : "Do you remember your first match ?". Seriously ? Anyway, crap interview, but Jackie seems like a really cool girl, and damn, she's 51 and time doesn't seem to have that much grasp on her.

Oh man. Kinda sad indeed.

Agree. Terrific match, with some awesome selling and bumping by Tenryu. Sure, it goes way beyond what's needed in term of stiffness, and you get the feel that's the only way to get a compelling single match with Hara, but it tells a story and the work is pretty much spotless, for what they try to accomplish (well, the last powerbomb didn't look so good). Yeah, Hara's bruise was nasty. Best SWS match ever, and probably Tenryu's best single match in two years (which is more telling of the fact Tenryu didn't get much of a chance after leaving AJ, as he's straight awesome here).

Scott did ?

Like I said in another thread, I just want Kelis to sing "Bossy" during her entrance at Mania.
-
Run DMC in 2000 ? I mean, all respect due to the allmighty Run DMC, but as far as pop culture relevance, it's hilarious that WWE would be that far behind. Even WCW getting Master P in 99 was more relevant (if ill concieved). Well, maybe that means they can get Kelis singing "Bossy" for Sasha Banks at next Mania. Now, that would be all kind of awesome for Banks (and would make my day, I'm a Kelis mark). Tori going hip hop ? Interesting, since apparently she was a yoga/new-age kinda girl.
-
As good as you'll get from a Yatsu single match at this point. Not pretty, but fun to watch these too throwing bombs at each other. Disjointed though, with some odd pacing at points. Pretty good.

I really liked Rude with DX, because he looked like the toughest bastard ever and brought an aura of dangerosity to the stable. I guess that's why Micheals didn't enjoy it, because him and HHH couldn't even pretend being tough in real life, while Rude was. Double Rude after Montreal remains of of my favourite moment of the MNW.
-
Kinda the same thing, although I enjoyed them longer, basically because that was Shawn's best heel work ever. But as soon as they turned babyfaces, it became silly. I was a Nation fan. The DX comebacks, from the very few I've seen, is something I'm glad I'll never witnessed, and won't revisit, ever.
-
Of course. But he also says that JBL isn't a bully. Which, by all acount, sounds idealistic, to be generous (well, he also says that Eddie was a "great father"… didn't Eddie basically ODed in front of his family once ?).
-
Wached this. It's 2015. RF still does the same old "Memories of X" stupid "interview". RF still doesn't edit when Rey check his phone for 30 seconds. It's amazing that anyone would buy his stuff at this point. Being the first in the game surely helped him the most. I wish Rey would work with KC instead. Total nice guy. He even says good things about JBL. Nothing earth shattering in terms of knowing how things work in WWE though, nor really good stories.
-
Really good Nitro match. It's always odd to see Asai without the mask, as he's clearly one guy who didn't need one (although the Dragon one remains one of my all-time favourite), good looking guy and all. He really gets the star treatment from SWS, who badly needed one other than Tenryu. The announcer actually call him the Ultimo Dragon, so I guess that was his nickname even before he put on the mask. Not familiar with Salvaje, but he looked like a really good worker too.
-
Hum… I wonder what picture you looked at. Check it on Youtube. Only Jason Sensation (obviously, and he was the only amusing part of the whole deal) and Chyna weren't blackfaces. Looking at this today, it's downright appaling. And Triple H was so not good at comedy.
-
Triple H doing a blackface. Hilarious. DX probably invented wrestling parodies BTW. That nWo Horsemen deal never happened. Neither did Stevie & Meanie doing stuff on ECW TV. DX invented everything great about the Attitude Era.
-
He's actually one of the worst (as in useless and boring) wrestler I can think of. Sucked in any incarnation (okay, Repo Man was funny, but it was all gimmick, it's not like he had any good matches), didn't bring anything to the tag teams he was a part of (except shouting "shut your stinking mouth" and stuff like this), could bring down any good worker (Dustin in WCW comes to mind, the Blacktop Bully matches sucked). At least Jim Neidhart played his limited part well. In the third version of Demolition, Crush was the "workhorse", for god's sake.
-
The South ? (and I say this only half-jockingly, I wonder if the RnR would have been just as over in New York)
-
A bunch of surly old guys beating the shit out of each other, with younger butterface underdog Nakano and savage King Haku in workrate mode thrown in for good measure. This is about as good as SWS could get. -
[1991-08-09-SWS] Genichiro Tenryu & Ashura Hara vs Road Warriors
El-P replied to Loss's topic in August 1991
This wasn't any good. No energy displayed by the Warriors, who were cruising sloppily, especially Animal. Tenryu & Hara had a very fun match earlier in the card against Haku & Yatsu though. -
Indeed. Not to mention, having Jay-Z settle with him over the use of the Diamond Cutter hand gesture.
-
It's volontarily taking the shittiest bump for Diesel's powerbomb at Mania 11 to make him look bad. Yeah. Even to his best pal he was an asshole at points.
-
From where they started to their journey as Kodo Fuyuki's croonies to where they ended up, Jado & Gedo had one hell of a career arc.

Actually understanding that one makes me feel like a complete geek...
