    Brock is back

    El-P replied to Bix's topic in Pro Wrestling

    I thought that was more a Lemmy homage.

    Obviously I didn't get NWA when I was a kid, so I was knew the Demos before and I had no notion thar the Road Warriors even existed. As soon as the LOD popped up, they made the Demos totally irrelevant to me. Doomsday Device, tall jacked up guy throwing jobbers around and doing amazing power moves... There was just no comparison at all.

    Watching to Tori shoot interview, and it always amazes me that those guys who came up even late during the last territory days basically knew tons of people before they made it to the big companies. I had no idea that Tori actually worked as a valet in Portland with Scott Levy, and met Roddy Piper there. She came up with Brian Adams, trained under Brad Rheingans. Pretty fascinating when all of a sudden she pops up in WWF in 1999, that she was basically a part of the family long before. Of course the interview doesn't get in detail about Japan, but it's still cool to hear the name Debbie Malenko dropped in a shoot interview. I can forgive her now for her infamous blown plancha, as she had just a few weeks of actual working before she got sent to Japan, first for LLPW then Zenjo. I wish someone knowledgable would dig up an interview with a girl like Reggie Bennett, I'm sure she would have tons of great stories. BTW, Tori looks just fantastic at 46.

    By the time the LoD came to Titan, the Demos were not a fresh act anymore. The Road Warriors were making them look old and fat de facto. The fact Bill Eadie got health issue and was replaced by the very green Brian Adams just didn't help their case, hot heels Demos were a thing of the past too. The feud would have been awesome in 1988 or so as far as star power goes.

    Agreed, it was decent, and Brian Lee bled buckets, which really brought an old Mid-South feeling to the match. Agreed too. DQ and screw-job in the final of the major tournament. Wrestling the way it used to be and wrestling the way you like it. I also think it's somewhat ironic that Cornette choosed a big blonde guy who couldn't work very well as the ace of his promotion. Meanwhile, Ric Flair and Randy Savage were trading the WWF title and Rick Rude, Vader & Sting were having super matches in WCW.

    Welcome to WCW Main Event circa 1990. Wait, Horner would have done the job there. Too short to amount to anything, which is a bit of a waste. Dutch is awesome though.

    Nice little TV match, but the Fantastics 2.0 are a far cry from the first version. I always liked Fulton, but Tommy Rogers was the über worker of the team. And Jackie still looks green. No idea if he became anything in the ring either, as I haven't seen their AJ work. I think Jackie worked there for a while, at least until the early 00's.

    And there goes down WCW.

    Brock is back

    Ok. I don't know how people can even sit through RAW. HHH did a great job totally burying Brock. Basically, Brock was a quiter the first time around, then Brock was a quiter in UFC, then Brock is a quiter in WWE again plus he got beat by John Cena already. I think it's truly a great destructive promo. The "burning dollars" pic by Alvarez doesn't seem that terrible now, don't you think ? Oh, and gotta love HHH calling his match with Taker "legitimate" when it was probably the most sitcomish match in WWE history. So, instead of having an ass-kicker murdering people, now we're talking about lawsuits. I agree the "fighter in an entertainment company" is a ridiculous line, but hey, that's Brock's gimmick. It's 2012 and people are still chanting "What ?" ? This is the most annoying thing ever and turns everything into a joke. The Big Show segment just went forever, and Show is officialy the biggest pussy in the history of our sport. That angle worked in 1996 with Randy Anderson, and even him didn't get to look like such a total bitch, depsite being a referee with cancer and bringing his kids with him. Yes, it got Laurinaitis great heel heat, but so what ? Laurinaitis sucks, it's unbearable to have a show basically built around him. And Cena. Oh, Cena... Can anyone still defend the finish at the last PPV at this point ? Cena is just fine. Brock is so dead already, and I don't think I'll be able to keep watching RAW (in FF mind you) because I basically don't care at all anymore. Didn't take long.

    Yep, I think it's the right time to drop that infamous Konnan quote...
  11. El-P
    Am I crazy or does Dr. Tom sound a bit like Roddy Piper ?
  12. El-P
    Sounds like a good candidate indeed.
  13. El-P
    The guy from Memphis ? Not overly familiar with him. Enlighten me on why he was derivative and post-modern.
  14. El-P
    I wonder what was the first post-modern derivative gimmick that wasn't just a short parody deal. Is C.W. the answer ?
  15. El-P
    Never saw the original version of the Bodies before. Lane isn't the same kind of beast as Del Ray, obviously.
  16. El-P
    Solid little TV match, I don't see how it's any special. The Wild Bunch vs Fantastic match from the previous weeks blows this out of the water (shitty finish aside). To me it's more about the angle than anything else, and the angle is excellent. Even past his prime, Orndorff could still deliver.
  17. El-P
    The segments with Cornette were pretty funny. DWB is an excellent promo. Brian Lee isn't good at anything thus far. Love Wright's reaction when Lee shows up.
  18. El-P
    Nope. He talks about the tournament and that's it. I don't even know why anyone would want to save that honestly. I won't.
  19. El-P
    Total nondescript promo by Holly.
  20. El-P
    Dated and cheesy doesn't even begin to describe how bad this segment is. Great terrible segment. Tim Horner can sing though.
  21. El-P
    At first, yes. Then she invented the moonsault footstomp and became the coolest wrestler ever. Inoki > Fujinami > Nishimura > Yuki Ishikawa Genichiru Tenryu > Toshiaki Kawada Dynamite Kid > Jushin Liger > Chris Benoit > Davey Richards Superstar Graham > Jesse Ventura > Hulk Hogan Barry Windham > Dustin Rhodes Jerry Lawler > Eddie Gilbert

    Maybe at 9 it seemed great. But at 22 it seemed like complete shit. And I give Russo all the credit for it indeed.
  23. El-P
    Going through the 1999 Timeline, not exactly a great episode. Political bullshit aside, Morley seems like a nice guy, but nothing very interesting nor fun is being said, and 99 was such a terrible year for WWF (product wise I mean) that there's nothing but bad memories coming back. Vince winning the Rumble, beating Shamrock, Sable women champ, the awful WM 15 with the IC/hardcore titles switches, the godawful KotR match with Austin, you name it... Vince WWF champ, Kennel from Hell...
  24. El-P
    Billy Black was crazy over at Korakuen Hall back then. Just insane for a mid-card gaijin. And he could work.
  25. El-P
    Ridiculous but funny. This is so 80's.
