    I'd read it. I never got the Randy Orton appeal at all. To me he's a black hole and a third rate DDP.

    Is it wrong that this actually makes me happy? Is it wrong that I won't be happy until he's fired? Is it wrong I'm happy to read all this ?

    Stud Stable don't do anything for me thus far. Fuller is more fun than Golden, but those matches really are R'n'R by numbers.
  4. El-P
    Nah, now that Brooke Hogan is in the place, they just figured they'd do Hogan Knows Best II or something.

    I perfectly understand you reasonning in being interested in what Punk and Daniel could do with a guy like Kane interjected in their match. Now understand my point of view which is one of a guy who hasn't watched WWE TV regularly in years, happens to do it now and enjoys some excellent stuff only to have a guy that he already couldn't stand 14 years ago thrown in the middle of it.
  6. El-P
    You're right, I checked. He looks like he did in 2001 which is exactly 11 years ago. Huge difference. (waiting for more nitpicking)
  7. El-P
    Not really. Okay, I give you that. He looks the same as he did 12 years ago actually.
  8. El-P
    Expensive repackage ? Yeah, no shit, after all the nonsense over the years, now he looks the exact same as he did 14 years ago. That's some expensive repackaging. Booking matters indeed, and they can't book for shit, as it's been demonstrated over the few months I've been back watching.

    Hey, I *am* grumpy. Tenryu is my hero. No idea. I am having tons of fun watching SMW TV these days and watch every Ron Wright promo with a large smirk on my face. Well, I did enjoy quite a bit of stuff on WWE TV, mostly Punk stuff, loved Cena vs Lesnar, really enjoyed Cena vs Rock, loved every minute of Punk vs Daniel Bryan, so there is some great stuff that I'm glad I'm seeing. But the bad stuff is indeed causing me great anguish (well, not that much, but you get the idea) Size matters, uh ? I was sick of Glen Jacobs, let me things... hum... about after SummerSlam 95. But seriously, I can't fathom how people still want to watch him after 14 years of hell fire and brimstone and chokeslamming people and doing the shittiest flying clothesline ever. Kane as been okay at best, and had some good matches with good workers, but really...

    I knew someone would drop the "Big John Stuff was immobile" line. It's not my point. My point is that a guy who was main eventing 14 years ago is still thrown into a title match now, which is the equivalent of a guy main eventing in 1984 still getting thrown in a title match in 1998. Of course I picked Studd because he was a monster like Kane, and of course I'm aware Studd was ten times worse than Kane, and of course I'm aware than no one who was around in 1984 was still there at the same position 14 years later after working non-stop for the company (can you picture 14 years of John Studd, or anyone that was just not very good for that matter, and still being on top on cards when Austin got on top ?) So, the point is, they couldn't do better so we'll assure they'll do a lot worse throwing in a shitty worker no one cares about (really, Kane in 2012) into the mix ? Great idea. And yeah, I'm also waiting for the "But Kane is a good worker" line (well, you kinda dropped it already) that will probably pop out too. Man, WM and Brock returning has brought me back to somewhat watch WWE programmings, but two months in and I've already banged my head against the wall too much...

    These segments were awful. The Lawler vs Piper stuff from 94 was pretty eye gounging.
  12. El-P
    Talking is the only thing they could do I would tolerate. I don't think I can save one match from Public Enemy in ECW.
  13. El-P
    The thing is, guys like Punk and Bryan probably both welcome a vet they respect like Kane into the angle. Net fans will wail and cry, but I'd imagine that actual workers respect each other. Who gives a shit if work collegues are smiling at each others really ? The fact is WWE is throwing Kane, freakin' Kane, in the middle of CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan who just had an awesome match at the PPV. They already sitcomised the fued a bit with AJ, but as long as it doesn't get too silly, it's ok. But Kane... I was tired of Kane by the fall of 1998. Shitty worker involved in an endless number of shitty feuds. We're in 2012, and Kane is thrown into a world title match. In term of pure time frame, it's the same thing as having Big John Studd, who was big in 1984, in a main event in 1998. It's been 14 years of shitty Kane matches and angle, the guy is still chokeslamming people, whoupidoo !!

    So, the WWE is ruining the only thing that's good in their product today. CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan was too good I guess, so we really needed Kane thrown in the mix.

    Saw Fire in the Mountains 92 which is the only big card I have from that year. Pretty good stuff. I enjoyed Orndorff vs Garvin the most, although the finish was kinda cheap, with no piledriver in a piledriver match. But the match itself was super solid and old-school, it could have happened just the same in 1984, and it's a compliment. Both guy over 40 showing how it's done. Landell vs Horner was a bit too much your-turn my turn, but the work was good. I love Horner's straight punches, they look really crisp. I thought The Rock'n Roll match was pretty much by the number, so pretty good but nothing special, not a big fan of the Stud Stable's work thus far. Brian Lee vs DWB was okay for what it was. Lee is a strange case, he's strong, he moves well, he works hard, but it really doesn't click. Cornette put it best when he said "He had all the tools but couldn't read the manual.". The Fans vs Heavenly Bodies was decent but this kind of cage match makes it hard to have a really good match. It's all about blood, which is funny when you think Corny was doing garbage stuff before ECW, although old-school garbage of course.
  16. El-P
    Okay match, but yet again, Brian Lee just isn't very interesting.
  17. El-P
    Loss said it best. Rock'n Roll by the numbers, which can't be bad, but the Stud Stable just isn't that good, so it feels like a match we've seen a hundred times against random opponents. Landell vs Horner and especially Orndorff vs Garvin were much better.
  18. El-P
    Hard to have a really good match in this setting, the old UWF barb-wire cage. Decent brawl, but nothing special. I agree Pritchard was the standout.
  19. El-P
    The NAO ? Are we serious ? These guys were an intro that got a big pop. An intro. People didn't give a shit after the intro, they just wanted to chant along, the NOA matches were mostly dead.
  20. El-P
    You can add Landell. Actually, Tim Horner doesn't bother me because he's in the "so bad it's funny" territory to me on the stick. Bobby Fulton is pretty good though, but yes, the face side is pretty thin as far as good promo goes, thankfully Bullet Bob gets things straight.
  21. El-P
    I disagree. The better part of the match involve the Bodies. Once they and the Fans are gone, the match is just not as good, although Danny Davis really shines. I'm not feeling Dixie at all, he's clearly the worst Armstrong brother. I enjoy 4 corner matches, and they did a good job with the gimmick, nicely building Fans vs Bodies and giving Golden & Fuller time to get some heat. Good stuff.
  22. El-P
    Agreed too. Both Dutch and Armstrong are just perfect there. Yet another excellent edition of Down & Dirty.
  23. El-P
    SMW is doing old-school hardcore before ECW could. Good stuff, the point of the dangerosity of the barb-wire is well taken.
  24. El-P
    I enjoyed Scott & Steve back in 1999 when they would showed up in Nitro and Thunder randomly. The Dixie character is just cheese and the mask doesn't do Scott any favour, as I think it emphasize his bad teeth. I actually never saw the Stud Stable before, only saw Golden as Bunkhouse Buck in WCW and Fuller as a manager, which I always enjoyed.
  25. El-P
    Well, I know. But I thought putting all of these next to one another produced a funny creepy effect.
