    Yeah, paying tribute to Warrior was nice. But when you think that Savage got zilch… Anyway... Enjoyed Mark Henry vs Cesaro. Enjoys Rusev because he's a bulgarian Taz, he's got a great theme and Lana is hot as all hell. Enjoyed… well, ok, I didn't enjoy much of anything else, really. Cena's stuff was embarrasingly awful. Just eye gouging bad. Kane vs Bryan is like the worst feud for a red hot Bryan coming off Mania. I can get behind Shield vs Evolution, if booked right. But really, not having Daniel Bryan on the show reminds me why WM was all about him. Well, the honeymoon didn't last long. Can RVD go away already ? Yeah, he's about as annoying as Sid was in 1999 at this point.

    I guess I'm the odd one around here. Not married, no kid. I've been with the same woman for ten years now, and she's got a daugter, but we never lived together. So I basically watch what the fuck I want to when I want to. And congrats to you Loss.

    Disco Inferno worked every way it could. Gilberti got the gimmick over and got more mileage out of it than anyone could have thought. No way it was a terrible gimmick and Glenn was a solid worker. Gotta love Bill Demott of all people talking shit about Disco when he wasn't half the worker, the promo or the gimmick Gilberti was.

    Come on. It gave us the best theme music ever in "We're not the Mounties" later on with the Quebecers. Anyway. I loved the Mountie.

    I don't mind Alice. But I find Kenny Bolin absolutely unfunny and a complete waste of time. Corny chatting old school wrestling and telling stories with a good guest is gold. Political rant, why not. But the bad comedy routine or chit chat about nothing, well, I can pass.
  6. El-P
    Yeah. But everyone loves that match. Wrong thread.
  7. El-P
    Every big Raven match, I guess.

    I still love this match. After all the nWo guys got babyface reactions all night, Hogan shows everyone how it's done. He works the crowd into a frenzy by just stalling, it's a thing of beauty. And yes, they do some ga-ga, but it works with the Hollywood Hogan character. What did you expect ? A blood match ? And it's not like they didn't bash themselves with chair shots afterward. I enjoy the dog & pony show finish too. Hogan and Patrick were the two biggest heel there. Liz again played her role right, although she was wearing an awful, 80's looking dress. Piper showing up and explicitely refer to Wrestlemanie was the sign Bischoff was going for broke and was more interested in showing up to Vince rather than developping his own talent and company. Piper was efficient was a last ride, but he would quickly overstay its welcome, as it was already the case here. Segment was good at first but went too long with too much rambling.

    To be honest, every nWo guy got babyface reactions anyway (save for Nick Patrick screwing Jericho, which got big time heel heat from an audience who were split at best before that point), so there was no way Hall & Nash were gonna be booed. Of course the Scott Hall kissing Sherri spot was way too much a babyface move, like was the last deal with Parker (good riddance, I really can't stand this character). Anyway, for a Harlem Heat match, this is actually pretty good, and Hall was easily the best and hardest working here. This PPV was pretty awesome, just good match after good match.

    I'm with Dylan, to me this is their best match thus far in 1996. Just terrific stuff. The heel/face dynamic and the mask spot just added some much needed charcaterization to the match-up, which had been technically great up until that point anyway. Malenko definitely was at his best ever working against Rey, and in that context, the praise he usually recieves seems warranted. Rey was awesome, of course.

    Christy Hemme = greatest booker ever. (ok, that's unfair, but since they made a big deal out of it on WM weekend)
  12. El-P
    Well said.
  13. El-P
    "Les morts sont tous de braves types". G. Brassens (Dead people are all good guys) Agreed. It's infinitely sad what happened to Warrior, and especially his wife and little daughers. But let's not also forget "Queering doesn't make the world work" and such. Let's just be fair.
  14. El-P
    Context is everything, really. A few years ago, Warrior would barely have been mentionned.
  15. El-P
    Come on people. Have a little faith. Jeff Jarrett is the genius behind the masterpiece that was TNA, a promotion which outlasted both ECW and WCW ad which is stil going strong today. Well, never mind.

    I immediately thought Savage was gonna kill Hogan. Not really "kill" him of course, and Bischoff does overreact. Schiavone would end up being better than Bischoff as the main Nitro announcer (for a while at least). I would guess they already planned the Bischoff turn at this point, which would make sense with him showing all these videos to fuck up Savage's mind. The whole Liz storyline was very ambiguous too, there's no way to really know what's happening in this nWo vignette. Really good stuff, and Liz is very solid again.
  17. El-P
    The trenchcoat, the white make-up. Not the crow yet, but not far off. I really enjoy the ambiguous nature of the promo here.
  18. El-P
    Ditto. Warrior was the first World champion I had seen, and for the 13 years old me, he was awesome because of the music, the look (tassles !!!), the rope shaking and such. I was never a Hogan fan, but I was a Warrior fan during those years.
  19. El-P
    I know it's neither here nor there, but after Warrior dropping dead, the odds of old, tired, in pain and concussed Taker working one last match seems even more like a bad idea now.
  20. El-P
    No idea about that, but 30 is now even more memorable, for tragic reasons.

    Great match I don't now, but very good at worst, and tons of fun. Yeah, it's me watching (and praising no less) WWE C-shows matches in 2014 after saying HHH was a big part of why WM was enjoyable to me. Hell is freezing over.
  22. El-P
    Seriously one of the all-time greatest promos I've ever seen. Freaking amazing.
  23. El-P
    Holy shit. This is the spookiest wrestling death since you-know-who. Seriously, the timing is amazingly creepy. I will say he did look bloated at the Hall of Fame speach, but still, never though in a million years such a sad thing would happen. The truly tragic part is when you think about his wife and his two adorable daughters at the ceremony. Don't want to speculate, so I'll just say it must be the most awful feeling in the world for them right now. My heart goes out to them. Although my opinion on the Warrior really change as I grew up a wrestling fan, and I didn't share his political views at all, I loved the Warrior when I was a teenager, one of my all-time favourite character then. Those are the memories I'll keep from this guy. Just fucking weird and shocking. (and the other creepy thing is that I actually thought about the idea of Meltzer having to talk about some tragedy this week-end… it was like in the back of my mind just before I watched Mania, then I brushed it off… just odd)
  24. El-P
    Well, watching it back in context, yeah, it was rather well explained. Add the fact Hogan played with Savage's head saying Liz was actually acting (which would imply she was still fucking with Savage just like she did when she was with Flair) and you get quite the intricate angle. Liz was really good again, going for a slap on Hogan as soon as he says she's acting. The Nasties beatdown appeared like such a sleazeball move since they were genuine Hogan friend, it made it clear the nWo guys were real thugs with no honor. Hall outing the Heat as being from Texas was funny. Nitro had a terrific run of angles every week at this point.

    He looked orange this year. Just bizarre.
