    I had not. I was gone. Amazing job.

    Wonderful RF editing job as always, with the same sequence twice on the fucking trailer. How incompetent these guys can be ?

    Watching his soot interview with Highspots a few years ago, he did seem like a deranged individual. What an awful awful human being. Will WWE show any Zumhofe match on the Network ?
  4. El-P
    Steamboat vs Rude. For all the reasons mentionned already.
  5. El-P
    Damn, you beat me to it.
  6. El-P
    Well, Mero has said that when he debuted, he was riding with Hammer, Bagwell and Eric Watts. Yep. Bad idea.

    I know these are only predictions, although the few big main event matches are pretty much locks, but is it me or WM 30 seems a lot less of a big deal than WM 20 and 10 were in their respective times ? And really, there's nothing on top that is particulary exciting or intriguing to me. Lesnar vs Taker is the biggest match on the card to me, and I've been bored by the streak gimmick for ever, not to mention Taker's matches have been ridiculously overrated for years, from the good matches against Michaels to the abomination that was the cage match with HHH. Could be cool with Lesnar involved, but I really wonder what can Taker do at this point. And should it be his farewell match (which to me seems like a muhc bigger selling point than anything else on the card) ? Orton vs Batista is just a nothing main-event, and it looks dated as all hell too. And then there's Bryan, who should be in the main event and win it, but instead goes against HHH, who already bored me senseless by 2001. Cena vs Wyatt is just a WTF match to me. May be decent, but it seems like a complete throwaway. Hogan as a host is a sad state of affair judging by his appearance on RAW, and he doesn't even seem like a big deal anymore (nor should he, we're in 2014 for fuck's sake). The excitement I felt with the comeback of the Rock two years ago is long gone, and this top of the card looks horribly dull to me.

    I've been pimping Mero for years as an underrated worker. He did improve vastly to get to his 1995/96 level. That being said, I feel re-watching the DDP feud (which I enjoy quite a bit) recently that at this point he indeed had already reached his plateau level and I'm not sure he could go beyond that level, both as a character and as worker. The fact he was given a very nondescript character in WWF (the Wildman…. okay… what is so wild about him ?) really didn't help him either in term of evolving past that point. From his all acount, Mero did had an ego back then. That + pre-planning his matches (which of course is okay if you're Savage but not if you're DDP or Mero, which is really laughable considering the way things work now) + first garanteed contract jump to WWF + Sable = heat.
  9. El-P
    Yep. The dates and references have sadly vanished with the new board layout.

    Heart attack… not exactly a shocker. Sad to hear. I enjoyed Mabel a lot too back in the M.O.M. days. Just ridiculous highspots for such a big guy, and the colorful outfit was cool in an über90's way. If I had followed WWE at the time, I'm pretty sure I would have enjoyed his Big Daddy V. stint quite a bit since I'm a sucker for big fat wrestlers that can go. Certainly a character from my teenage years that'll always remember.
  11. El-P
    Yes it is.
  12. El-P
    Benoit vs Malenko, Hog Wild 96.
  13. El-P
    Yeah, pretty much. TNA also deserves the honor for being the most irrelevant pro-wrestling company ever. It only laster that long because some people are willing to lose money. They never drew shit. They never made one star. They aren't a blimp on the wrestling radar. Yet they have outlasted WCW already. It's amazing. (that also says something about the ultra-slow evolution, or should I say the status-quo in the pro-wrestling scene since 2001)

    The stalling at the beginning was fun, but the match wasn't good. Hogan was still experimenting with the Hollywood character, and the Giant simply wasn't a good worker yet. Ed Leslie comes off like a total suck up douchebag and gladly he wasn't included in the nWo (yet). I guess Hall & Nash had to fight against it, it would have been a pretty big stain on the angle. The spraypainting was Hall & Nash's idea too. Brillant.
  15. El-P
    Good match, with Hall being the standout. It seems to me that the finish was actually blown a little bit, as Luger couldn't get Hall up and Patrick had to delay his "accidental" screw-up.
  16. El-P
    I'd rather stare at Liz and Woman in mini-shorts doing nothing for 30 minutes. This is just a bombfest with zero dynamic (your turn/my turn for 30 minutes) and no effort to involve a dead crowd. Yeah, worked in a vaacum. Ultimo vs Rey craps on this match so hard it's not funny. And the timekeeper announcing that only 5 minutes were left as a total giveaway made it even more annoying. It's telling that Woman interfering got the most heat. I don't blame the crowd. Most overrated match of the year.

    Inspired by the Korakuen post by Loss in the general thread. What are you favourites settings for pro-wrestling and why ? And what are your least favourites ?
  18. El-P
    Korakuen Hall is my all-time favourite pro-wrestling arena.
  19. El-P
    The beat down on Booty Man is awesome and brutal. It's amazing Leslie didn't pop back up on the nWo side until 1998. Really good segment, like most on this Nitro episode were.
  20. El-P
    Hilarious !
  21. El-P
    Hilarious since TNA was a Jeff Jarrett vanity promotion from day one. Now it seems like it became a Dixie Carter vanity promotion.
  22. El-P
    Hey Steph ! Jean-Paul may be the Game, but he's not Buff and he's not the Stuff.
  23. El-P
    Bagwell was shot after his neck injury. He buffed up (pu intended) and was never the same. He had very few good matches after the injury. And it's not like he was a great worker who would figure out a way to work smarter.
  24. El-P
    Apart from the lack of secondary titles, the new layout is really pretty damn great. Good job.

    Current WWE

    El-P replied to Smack2k's topic in WWE

    They don't have title shots anymore Loss, they are "championship opportunities." Aww man. And you wonder why I can't stand the product.
