    Overbooking indeed.

    I agree Cornette was overexposed too. I mean, I love him, but after a while you just can't get fresh anymore, no matter how great of a promo you are. And when the booking is getting stale, it doesn't help. Tommy Rich interview is good though, I like old pissed off heel Tommy Rich.

    Curtis was a trooper and one hell of a bumper. But I don't care for that angle at all. Maybe me not being familiar with USWA doesn't help. Hales isn't good at all.

    Holy shit this is pretty surreal, as they basically plug a UFC PPV. Gotta love Severn explaining the differences between UFC and wrestling. I was half expecting him to response "Welll, UFC is the real deal." Yep, I think we have found the source for Meltz MMA = wrestling school of thought. I still have a big time soft spot for Severn, I wish he had a bigger pro-wrestling career on a big stage.

    Don't make light of this. I'm soon getting there... And I still have to find that cool Beefcake match...

    Oh, I enjoyed SMW quite a bit, but 1995 is really really dragging to me. I would say the company peaked from 1993 to mid 94, something like this.

    Hey, Tommy Rich ! Where has he been ? He kinda sucked in WCW the last time I saw him (a little less in the York Foundation than as a babyface), but he was fun as hell as a heel manager in ECW. Let's see how he'll fare here.

    Snow is good, but the whole tape recorder deal is just WTF to me. Loser leaves town. Again ? Seriously Cornette.
  9. El-P
    Referee vs official. Boring stuff. Bad promos. Don't care for this. Booking is tired. Give me PG13 vs Rock'n Roll or something instead.

    Solid TV match. Brad looks absolutely great and pretty big in this setting. SMW does look like a dying promotion, and I don't see how its quality is better than ever at this point.
  11. El-P
    Not a fan of that gimmick either. I guess watching Gordy will be depressing.
  12. El-P
    Who else ? ..... (in all seriousness, I'm tempted to say that Michaels actually peaked in the Rockers)

    Jerry Lynn

    El-P replied to shoe's topic in The Microscope

    Well, Lynn was "known" for the Waltman matches before went ECW. Of course once he got there the RVD matches got all the attentions, for obvious reasons, but the Waltman matches were his "big" claim to fame and being the most underrated and misused talent on the circuit. I give him tons of credits for those RVD matches, as I really think he's the only guy who took RVD's shitty formula and turned it into something really exciting and good, which is a feat as I really can't stand RVD (not saying he's the only guy who carried RVD to excellent matches, but he really did work through RVD's own formula which is shitty to begin with. Tracey Smothers on the other hand, kinda forced RVD into a more traditionnal frame and it resulted in one of RVD's best match also in 2000, but Tracey is great). The problem is that he had so much fun working with RVD that he kinda got contaminated by him and his work suffered as a result, as the "cool matwork exchanges" and "a hundred counters back and forth" really comes from RVD's shitty work (he was already doing that with Sabu before working with Lynn). That being said, What I've seen from Lynn post-ECW was still pretty damn good, but he had a way of running through spots with really bad transitions at times (bad punches and kicks galore). That and the annoying "You can't shoulderblock Jerry Lynn through the rope even though you never do it to anyone else" spot are the most glaring flaws to me. I love his 1999 work overall.

    That was a joke Dylan. I actually love the Rockers.
  15. El-P
    But yeah. This.
  16. El-P
    The Rockers ? (don't show me the door, I know the way...)
  17. El-P
    Yep, after the injury Fuji was never the same. He's basically done after 1989.
  18. El-P
    En fait je suis Frenchy Martin. USA is not OK.
  19. El-P
    They stole a tape recorder ? And that is supposed to get them a title match ? What ?
  20. El-P
    Rougeau was announcing on Superstars in 97 with Mansoon. And it wasn't any good. Of course Rougeau had been the French announcer from late 92 when Eddie Carpentier left up to I would think 2001 (I began watching English broadcasts in 97).
  21. El-P
    Yeah, except Flair vs Savage which was *good* but very disapointing after their last match, pretty much nothing on the card was worth anything. Pretty terrible PPV, despite the cool setting.
  22. El-P
    The match is a steeming pile of shit. Hogan at his ego-stroking worse. Yes, this isn't as godawful as the strap match, but nothing is. Hogan makes Vader look like a bitch, doesn't work hard at all and basically blows. The post-match is kinda funny though. Vader is dead for WCW, his firing was a blessing. Compared to his feud with Hogan, his entire WWF stint looks all kinda great.
  23. El-P
    Shameless. Hogan is such a gigantic prick at this point. "This is Andre's". For fuck's sake. The Baywatch reeked of WCW trying to one up WWF that had Pam Anderson at WM and Royal Rumble that year, but they don't get any star here. Yeah, that producer seemed *thrilled* to work with WCW.
  24. El-P
    Because Flair told them to do that without clarifying his point. They were only doing what they were asked to do. Yeah, that's the point the announcers sold to me. I don't buy it one bit. The jobbers packing on Savage was a lot worse though. Stupid segment. Bash at the Beach was really poorly promoted, as Hogan didn't even bother showing up on TV, he just cut a few routine promos on pre-tape from the beach. No build at all for Vader vs Hogan in a cage. Flair vs Savage lost a lot of steam to me with that stupid angle, while the brawl outside a few weeks earlier was awesome. I guess they figured since they won't get any gate out of it, why even bother. I don't know at which point they began to build for the Nitro era. It's obvious Hogan vs Vader was an afterthought at this point, which is really sad for Vader, as they put the emphasis on the upcoming Dungeon of Doom and that gigantic guy at ringside.
  25. El-P
    Well, this doesn't make one bit of sense. Why are the girls throwing Flair back in the ring while Savage is beating on him ? And why the fuck a bunch of jobbers immobilize Savage which allows Flair to beat him up ?? This was so stupidly put together. The only cool thing about this segment is Flair showing up with a dozen girls.
