[1994-03-27-AJW-Wrestling Queendom] Manami Toyota vs Plum Mariko

Who cares ? Seriously, who cares ? I know I might sound very "European" or even "French" (as a cliché), but who gives a shit if John Cena divorces and fucks around ? Who didn't in pro-wrestling ? Taker ? Did it. Rock ? Did it. Bret ? Did it. The only issue that might get interesting is that if steroids and/or abuse issue pops up. If not, really, we're in 2012.

Good to know I wont have to go through much more Koloff (I can tolerate a really old Ivan so much). Too bad Dutch doesn't work much more. I think I'll hate Bob Caudle before too long.

I want to see a CM Punk vs AJ Styles feud. Heel AJ would bring a "God hates a faggot" sign with him to the ring, and face CM Punk would just reply "Kill yourself", and then proceed to kill AJ. Shooty-shooty enough to get some buzz too. Of course I'd fear the wrong reaction from the WWE audience...

[1994-04-17-WCW-Spring Stampede] Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne vs Nasty Boys
El-P replied to Loss's topic in April 1994
The first few months of WCW before Hogan showed up were great. Hogan totally fucked the product. There's a streak of great PPV just before Hogan comes in, and then look at Starrcade 94...- 20 replies

Just a great promo. Cornette insistance in calling his own audience hillbillies never fails to bring a smile to my face. Yeah, you can feel Caudle was uncomfortable with the Falwell stuff. Damn bigot.

The WTF!?! Have they lost their minds?! thread
El-P replied to Mr Wrestling X's topic in Pro Wrestling
I remember it the same way. -
First two weeks of TV. Well, this is southern. It has its charm. Ivan Koloff could still work at 50. Decent match with Bobby Fulton, and decent tag match against the Fanatstics, although Vlad is worthless, and Jacky's face always freaked me out for some reasons. He looks like an alien from Babylon 5 (yeah, since it's SMW, I can drop some dated references). Glad to hear Cornette again after he left WCW. The Ron Wright character is pretty compelling. Holy shit, Tim Horner *cutting a promo*. He makes Lance Storm look like Onita. It's painfull. I'm glad Caudle has strong color men like Dirty Dutch and Cornette, because he's pretty boring. I'm curious to see how Ross will sound like in SMW.

Well, telling hin to kill himself is a bit strong, but... Fuck the kid. John Word. Yesterday I nearly posted "CM Punk shouldn't had to apologize. Fuck gay basher trolls, 14 years old or kid or not. But he should have told him to suck cock instead.", then thought I would get hell for it. Damn, I'm still politically correct.

Good promo, but kinda ridiculous when he talks about how wrestling as turned into a complete circus. Meanwhile, WCW was just at its all time best with the Dangerous Alliance and tons of good wrestling on TV. From day one, you get the same feel as ECW : we are the real deal. But infact, the first episode of SMW looked like a summer of 1990 episode of WCW TV, which is not a compliment.

Agreed. The J.O.B Squad name was a little too shooty-shooty for me, but I was happy to see Snow, Holly and Scorp finally get an identity. These are three guys I would have loved to see in WCW instead at the same time.

Why is that ? (amazed that Scott Keith name is still thrown around in 2012 btw)

That wouldn't mean much.

By WM 13, he was already a dead issue. He was working a dark match while The Sultan of all people was getting an IC title match. He never even got one feud. He debuted in a messy Survivor Series match which also saw the debut of the Nation of Domination and a surprise guest in 60 years old Snuka. He was a complete afterthought from day one. They gave him two mediocre dancers and a pimp suit, and they did nothing else. I picture how awesome a heel Scorp in Charles Wright's pimp gimmick would have been.

FF through RAW, man, the evil boss gimmick is so played out beyind belief, and Laurinaitis is just grating in a terrible WWE "acting" way. Eve is a fox, whoever she is. The Funkasaurus gimmick is everything Flash Funk should have been. I'll never understand how they missed the boat with Scorp when it was so easy to get him over. How long before Tensai is gone ? He's not getting over and doesn't look very good. Enjoyed the handicap match though.

I FF through Raw (I still can't handle most of what constitute the product). Man, Heyman never looked young anyway (I'm gong through WCW 91, and to think he was 26 then is head scratching), but he looks old, much older than his actual age. He can still cut a damn good promo and sounds better and more natural and anyone on the roster. Heyman back on TV is good. Some continuity from WWE, it's rare enough.

Made an appearance ? Where ? I was a huge Bloody fan. One of my all time favourite worker. I really enjoyed Kusogi too, she really could have become something special as a worker I think if she didn't retired so soon. Loved Yabushita & Sakai too, especially Yabushita. Jd' is the great lost promotion. What Dan said. Kazama just wasn't a big star at the level of Hokuto or Kandori. She pushed herself a bit too much at times because she was Da Mistress of LLPW. The fact that Hokuto carried her to her best match ever says a lot about Hokuto at that point, because Kuzama wasn't a very good worker.

From Halloween Havoc/ Clash 17, WCW quickly gets really good, with the implement of Rick Rude and Steamboat adding workrate + star power. But if there's one stain on the product at this point, it's the Patriots vs Young Pistols feud. Bad matches every week on TV. And it's not like it's all Patriots sucking, which they do, it's also the Young Pistols not being very good in this role. Smothers was always better than Armstrong and he shows that he can be a good heel there, but from the awesome Southern Boys matches in late 1990 to this, it's a huge drop in the work of both guys. Obviously opposing a good team it wouldn't be so flagrant, but still, they stall way too much and don't deliver half as fun offense as they did as faces. Really, Larry Zbyszko in the Enforcers stalls less and brings work stuff to the table in terms of movez. Sometime Smothers bothered me with the stalling in ECW too (although the FBI gimmick made it a lot more tolerable as he was funny), and here it's getting really annoying against uninteresting faces like the Patriots. Loosing the Southern Boy identity already hurt them quite a bit, but the heel turn really killed them dead.

Try calling it "the WWE" like everyone else does, that might help. The WCW. The SummerSlam. Bret Hart's spirit lives.

[1995-04-29-WCW-Saturday Night] Diamond Dallas Page vignette
El-P replied to Loss's topic in April 1995
I'm going through WCW TV 91, and actually, on his very first TV match, Page is referred to by Jim Ross as DDP once, probably because Page was wearing a belt with "DDP" on it. Funny fact, he was teaming with Scott Hall as the Diamond Exchange, and one of the jobber (with offense) they faced was Brian Lee.- 6 replies

[1994-03-27-AJW-Wrestling Queendom] Manami Toyota vs Plum Mariko
El-P replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
Oh yeah, that is one of the impossible dream match too. Plum would have been been awesome in ARSION. Great match. I loved this one so much. That's the one I was referring too. I knew you would know about it.- 15 replies
