    Murdoch is insane. Not a big fan of the whole Bullet deal though, but I'm enjoying the heels he get thrown against, Funk, Sullivan, now Murdoch.

    Well, I don't argue against the first part of the sentence. And he was a precursor to the HOF candidate, the infamous WCW Yetay... Wasn't that a Rick Rubin idea BTW ?

    Prince Kharis : wrestling the way it used to be, and the way you like.... wait ! What ???

    Substantial matches on TV is the only thing that lacks in SMW. This one is pretty cool, but it's only a backdrop for the major feuds involving, yikes, the Bruises and the Moondogs. Put those two teams together and have them crap the ring in a lame brawl and let the Bodies and R'n'R work a thousand matches together. Anyway, good match and the post-match angle with Tracey and DWB is great. That's the big positive of Cornette's booking, and that's pretty rare in wrestling sadly.

    Flair is great is this setting. I love these kind of interviews because it feels legit and real. The build to Flair vs Vader was simple and excellent.

    Didn't realize Bischoff already had such powers in 1993. I thought he got in charge only in 1994.

    So, 100 million $ down the drain. Jeez, could I have just one, I promise I'll do a much better use than this.

    What happened with Davey Boy anyway ?
  9. El-P
    Ah, Vader being Vader was great. He really had *it*, he was special.

    Red hot debut for Ray Trailor. What was the situation with Davey ? Was he fired for any specific reasons ? He sure didn't last very long despite having good matches with Vader. Anyway, the whole gimmick infringement is so blatant here, what were they thinking ? Of course coming back as Big Bubba would probably wouldn't have got a superstar reaction like it did here. Bubba was off AJPW, so it's not exactly a jump from WWF to WCW, still just a few months after Gene Okerlund it's indeed quite interesting to see Bossman in WCW as a sign of things to come. The difference being that Trailor was still in his prime, as showed by this spectacular performance, an excellent TV sprint that put a fire under Rude's ass. Best Rude match of the year ? I would say so.

    What the fuck ? I thought this segment was pretty disapointing. They could have edited a cool and epic video for Flair. Instead you got Gene talking about WWF and a basketball coach. What ? Not good.

    I've yet to see one Bruises match I enjoy in SMW (I love Rage in the Cage but it's a multi-man match so...), and I don't think I have enjoyed any in ECW. They had a few decent ones in WWF from what I remember and none in WCW (and they had that horrible corporate gimmcik there which made things even worse). One thing I'll give Ron, or Don, whoever was the one who talked, is that he wasn't a bad promo. I'm loving every minute of this too.

    I'm loving the DWB turn, it's done so smoothly and organically, with actual logic in how the character interact together (Tracey Smothers not helping DWB against Brian Lee). DWG showing up spices up things too. Tony Anthony is probably my biggest revelation on SMW TV. I'm not enjoying the tag team scene though, Bruises Brothers suck and the Moondogs aren't much better or interesting. Too much boring brawling matches with bad workers here, it really ruins the potential of the R'n'R and the Bodies. I'm not fond of the Bullet either, as Bob Armstrong was fine for a while, but he really can't do much in the ring, and the gimmick really feels dated. Cornette vs Bob Armstrong was pretty cool, and I don't understand why the Armstrongs were put on hold while the Bodies feud with the Bruise Brothers. Anyway, the TV is still really fun overall, but not as much as it was at the middle of the year. It's really carried by Candido on the undercard and Lee vs DWB which is a great program as far as angles go. Tracey Smothers badly need something to do.

    Barely decent, but that is to be expected with the Bruises. Man, this guys had a good look but they were so uninteresting in any other way. A bunch of big boots are their only semi-decent looking offense. The Bodies bump a bit but there is just nothing to bump of really. Cornette's intervention is goofy but why not ? I don't care for this program, just like I don't care for the Moondogs showing up. This is right with the other terrible teams that ended up in ECW later. No interest in that kind of lame brawling.
  15. El-P
    This is embarassing.
  16. El-P
    Awesome, and well done indeed. Great line.
  17. El-P
    I love that Tracey is not helping DWB and that they don't ignore their past like they would in any other promotion with cheesy face and heel turns. Really well done indeed, and Tracey was really good on commentary
  18. El-P
    Seriously Cornette, the Moondogs are alll about stiff chair shots to the heads and back, breaking blunders and blood. ECW ! ECW ! ECW !
  19. El-P
    DWB's promo is so intense. This guy had such presence, the more I watch him there and the less I can figure why they did this to him in WWF. Bunch of yankee fuckers.
  20. El-P
    Word. Good match, great angle, great turn, Ron Wright getting to fight for DWB was an awesome moment, just like it was the only time he got up from that chair before.
  21. El-P
    Candido was so great so early in his career. Excellent worker, excellent promo. I love to watch him in pretty much any setting but it also makes me sad a bit. I dind't think Blaze would end up in the river, which looked dirty and muddy as hell.
  22. El-P
    Someone in Titan probably saw this and thought it would be a great gimmick for Tammy...
  23. El-P
    Watch the same match on Nitro in 1996 next to see who aged the worst.
  24. El-P
    Watching the first few weeks of Okerlund in WCW, isn't he way more obnoxious than he was in WWF ? The running gag during Battlebowl with lecherous old man Okerlund fondling Fifi had run its course after the first segment... And he's already overpushing the damn hotline... But yeah, really good segment here.
  25. El-P
    Wild, but too bad it won't deliver anything because the Bruises suck.
