    Fun match because as Dylan said, it's one rare occurence of Steamboat beating the shit out of someone, Vader of all people. I wish we had seen a little more of that Steamboat, as he's excellent in this mindset too. Vader is just as good selling a beating as he's delivering one, which is a feat for such a monster. I've got to say Harley Race is fun bumping, but that's really the only use I can think of for him as a manager, as he was always pretty bad on promos. Of course the Boss saves Steamboat from a 2 on 1 beating. Good stuff.

    From what I remember as I watched WCW 1998 some time ago, it was really all about "swerve", and no good reason was ever given, and really nothing came out of it. One of the most illogical and worthless nWo turn of the bunch, but they thought they that had to keep the angle "fresh" with new people at this point.

    Thanks, man. I wish I had all the TVs to comment on all what's on the yearbooks too. I'm watching WCW and SMW TV at the same time these days. I won't get back into ECW and FMW as I watched that a few years ago. I will surely keep on with WCW for a long stretch though.

    Well, there is that too.

    I'd say discounting the Wrestlecrap influence. This is how this stuff became kind of a cult joke. Anyway, it's pretty damn funny.

    The best tag team coming in the last 20 years. Hum... Overhyping a bit much, don't you say ? Lance already looks as boring and wooden as he'll end up being during his entire career. Jericho has classic blond hair. Best part is Dutch's intro with the Bobbitt joke.

    I'm in Feb' 94, and honestly the whole Bullet Bob vs Cornette feud has overstayed its welcome with me. The highlights have been Murdoch's and Terry Funk's promos, but I'm really getting tired of this feud, with a hundred stipulations each time around. On 02.19 TV episode, a few WWF guys do promos for the Armstrong Family reunion show, and Lex Luger comes off AMAZINGLY disingenuous !

    Only saw the finish on TV, and the highlight is clearly Ron Wright's spot.

    The whole thing sucked. I always hated the special referee stipulation anyway, and this was no good. Comical effect of having the Boss counting out Vader while Tony explains it's a no DQ cage match. Then you have Vader distracting the Boss so that Harley Race can choke Flair from the outside. Nothing made sense, like Arn shaking the cage like he couldn't enter. Hey, there's no roof, you can at least try to climb it even if you can't get in because of the shape at the top. The finish sucked. All of this is basically an angle to transition to Vader bs Boss which sucks as a major PPV main event, this is stuff for TV. Only impressive stuff was Vder doing the Flair flip on the corner and landing on his feet on a moonsault. Otherwise, bad booking. This shit got ***1/2 for Meltz while the great Anderson vs Regal match got 1/2*. Yup.

    I thought it was a very good, all action 6 man tag with lot of heat. Of course the cage didn't play enough of a role, but they did take a few good bumps in it, and Pillman bled a little. Everyone was at least good, even Rude, with Austin and Pillman being the stand-outs. Excellent post-match attack on Sting by Rude. Really good stuff.

    Terrific match, Regal's best thus far in WCW, and maybe Arn's best single match ever. Great matwork, great storytelling on both parts, with Regal doing whatever he could do hang out to the title, and Arn first attacking the arm so he could get to the injured leg if that didn't work, it built in intensity while never putting aside selling, got the crowd in frenzy during an exciting last stretch, and the ending was great, surprising and infuriating (in a good way). Can't say anough good things about this match. MOTYC.

    There have been more absurd. Don't make people go looking for Resident Evil threads... Well, I said absurd, not stupid.

    This is the most absurd thread on a pro-wrestling board. Ever. And that says a lot.

    Great promo again. Man, this is so consistant it's getting boring to repeat myself. I'll just say that DWG has been bokked a little bit too much like a bitch to me, she isn't very efficient thus far, she get roughed up a little too much.
  16. El-P
    Anothere excellent music video from SMW. I love Tammy in this setting. In the matter of a few months she became the best active manager behind Cornette. A true natural.
  17. El-P
    That one totally killed me. Dutch was awesome. Good little TV match.

    This stuff is facsinating to me. These days the English terms are overused in realms like fashion, music and of course business, for obvious reasons, as the dominant cultural and economical model comes from the anglo-saxon world. Thankfully, English is a rather easy language to learn. Wait until we'll all have to learn (and read !) Chinese and Arabic. (on a French music board lately I've been using the German prefix "über" quite a bit...)

    I recently learned that words like "bacon" and "parliament" actually directly derived from Old-French, which was spoken at the Royal Court of England after William the Conqueror invaded the country. Which is funny since we, French people, use the word "bacon" thinking it's basically an English word. (well, we do use more and more English words, to some ridiculous degrees at times, the same way I think English-speaking people use the word "faux" instead of "fake" as a way to emphase the meaning, or too look cool. French language is also pretty much a sponge, especially since we have a long-time culture of immigration)

    Don't get why all the fuss about all this. Don't care about any of it. Never put any subject in my sentences. Do you even know what "carte blanche" means people ? Why do u use French words to try and be trendy or chic ? Why do I spell you "u" ? No, seriously now, I'm always amused by the way some people use the word "faux" as to underline that it's really really fake. Or maybe it's because it's some sort of poseur fake ? Wait, why do you use the French word "poseur" too ?

    Great promo. Flair's comeback was disapointing, but as soon as the Vader feud kicked in, he showed he still had it and was better here than he was in WWF ever. It's interesting to mention Hogan's name has already been talked bout on WCW TV at this point, as he was filming Thunder in Paradise with Sting, which prompted the sleazy hotline pimping by Mean Gene saying "Hulk Hogan and Sting are tag teaming soon". Flair wanted to get Hogan in WCW to get the great program he never got to work in WWF. Little did he know...

    1994.02.12 WCW Saturday Night : Terror Risin' debut by defeating Keith Cole. Good physique, classic blond hair, decent in-ring worker for his experience. But what is more interesting is his long profiled nose, which, should he insert it in the right holes, could make him go places in this business.

    Corraluzo's was North East's answer to Victor Quinones.

    Dory's outfit. Buttcrack Tenessee. This segment is awesome. I agree it's always hilarious to see the director actually illustrating Cornette's insults by showing, well, exactly what Cornette is talking about. Great segment, this is what SMW is awesome at.
