    I guess you missed the thread when it was argued (not by me) that Vincent was a WCW B-show superworker in 1999.
  2. El-P
    That's what I meant.

    What a bunch of bullshit. How many kids lose their dad every minute everywhere in the world ? Yeah, since we all saw them at the HoF, we feel really bad for a minute or two. And yeah, the Warrior dying brings back memories from when some of us were a bunch of kids. But nostalgia goes a long way. Once the thoughts are rightfully sent to the family, it's time to be fair and point out the guy was a gigantic asshole who harmed and insulted a lot of people by his comments over the years, that he was a shitty worker who delivered a bunch of good matches and a vast majority of unwatchable hours of crap, and that the WWE guys are all shedding crocodile tears now because after years of burying the guy in the dirt (and making money out of it), they just had made a deal with him and were onto the process of making more money from nostalgic old geezers who now are feeling bad because the guy who use to run and shake the ropes and blow up died at 54 after a life of steroid abuse (despite the fact he himself showed no compassion for his peers who died from the same kind of chemical abuse over the years). (Ted DiBiase being a hypocrite leech is nothing new either.)

    Excellent segment. Nash & Hall do a great job hyping the match and putting the opposition over. Nash bullying Schiavone was indeed pretty neat as he referenced Tony's laugh the previous week and made it an active part of the segment. Schiavone acting totally pissed of at Larry and leaving the broadcast during the next segment was pretty terrific. Schiavone was still at his best then.

    I fail to see how that makes him a legit badass. He may very well be, but...

    All Steiner's big match are ridiculously overrated. The only one that deserves the universal love to me is the Nasties match in 90. Don't get me started on the infamous Dome Show match against Hase & Sasaki.
  7. El-P
    Fuck ! I want Schiavone with Corny instead !
  8. El-P
    Yep, Yoshida was definitely 99. Seems like an eternity ago now.

    Not during WM season they won't. Because the massive jerk-off ceremony that is the HoF makes everyone put on their rose-colored glasses on. And really, when you think Savage got zilch after all he meant to the company and the pro-wrestling business as a whole. Well. Context is everything like I said before.

    After the initial surprise at Havoc, the build really pettered out with kinda useless Hogan promos and this kind of stuff which was stupid. I don't know how much it was Sullivan's thing and how much it was Hogan, Piper and Bischoff, really.

    Tony cracking up was pretty funny.

    This match reminds me why I was buying all those AJ TV blocks from Lynch in the early 00's.

    Indie wrestling is so mid-00's.
  14. El-P
    Oh well. You get the point though. It's mind blowing.

    I am dating WCW from the Turner buyout.

    Even for mid 90's WWF house show style, the Godwinns sucked. They brought nothing to the table.
  17. El-P
    Well, it probably was. From their perspective it was probably hard to work with them as they had two completely different styles. What was the Godwinns style already ? Being shitty workers ? Yeah, it had to be like pulling teeth for Furnas & LaFon who had spent years in AJ then worked their first program in WWF against Owen & Bulldog.

    Just checked out the Dixie segment where she talks about being responsible for making "the beard" fashionable. And in the main event, an Abyss match (gasp !) involving barbwire and bumping into thumbtacks. IN 2014 !!!!!!!!! Seriously, this shit is just as godawful and irrelevant as anything from WCW in 2000. And I know what I'm talking about. Russo gets a paycheck to be a consultant ? Brillant on his part, I guess. I have no word.

    Lance Storm was spot-on with Warrior's passing and the "interesting" overwhelming positive comments on a guy who by all account acted like an asshole and said terrible things and never apologized for it.
  20. El-P
    Canterbury was decent as best working in single. Knight was awful. I can't get over the fact *they*, of all people, said that working against Furnas & LaFon was like pulling teeth. Yeah. The fucking Godwinns.
  21. El-P
    Oh man, that Albano "performance" is one of the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in a wrestling match. How many time did he blade anyway ?

    And you wonder why it never feels organic.

    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.
