    In the ECW Timeline with Shane Douglas, he said those 6 months were the worst and most painful of his 25 years career.
  2. El-P
    Nevermind.
  3. El-P
    You mean like The Sultan ?

    Great great angle. Woman was just Evil here, great acting. Sandman vs Whipreck is one of my favourite ECW program ever.
  5. El-P
    Yeah, absolutely fantastic stuff here.

    Then they did not play their role well. That doens't make any sense. It's not because they "play their role well" that it means I have any interest in watching them play their role. And that doesn't translate as a match being good because it "make sense". Yeah, it can "make sense", with "worker who play their role well" and still be a shitty wrestling match which I have zero interest in watching. Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant was playing his role well. Still couldn't wrestle a lick, and that translate into me not wanting to ever see any of his matches. Tiger Jeet Singh was mostly playing his role well, got tons of heat, was an effective draw against Inoki. Singh is still a worthless worker as far as I'm concerned, and his matches are as fun as pulling teeth.
  7. El-P
    Yeah, I remember those too.

    If you're refering to the final of the tournament, I agree it was their best. But Hayabusa & Gradiator always clicked.
  9. El-P
    I agree this is Shawn best's traditionnal match. And it's not like he carried Jarrett...

    Come on, that's no comedy. You know Lawler *is* a WOTY candidate in 2011.

    Arn Anderson is said to have told John McAdam at a Halloween Havoc '90 after party that "I've got enough cum built up to shampoo a moose" to describe his desire to get laid. Heard that before, but that was quite an obscure reference.

    Zangiev worked a single against Takada, and a tag (with Hashimikov) against Yamazaki (with Anjo). Zangiev vs. Fujiwara or Tamura could have potentially ruled it hard! Glad to know that ! Sometime someday, I'll get back into UWF-I.

    Fucking awful match from memory. This Sid vs Diesel feud was the nadir of the year. Even Mabel vs Diesel was better.

    Zangiev is the best shootstyle worker ever we'll never see. He showed so much potential in the few matches he worked in NJ. He was an awesome mat wrestler, he had a strong personnality. I can only shiver at the thought of big matches between Zangiev and Takada, Fujiwara, Yamazaki, Sano, Volk Han, Tamura...

    Yatsu during his peak was about a hundred times better than Angle. Then Yatsu could be really bad. So can Angle. Yatsu in a walk. Stevie Ray was useless his entire career. Dino Bravo was a good worker in his prime. I think he gets a bad rep for his WWF stint, and still, he had a very good match with Bret Hart as late as 1992, and that wasn't Hart working around a broomstick either. That's a tricky one. I do think Valentine gets the edge for having those great matches with Backlund.

    As far as hit & miss, Don Muraco comes to mind. When he's on and wants to work, he's a superb worker. When he's lazy, good luck...

    Most consistent : Arn Anderson Bobby Eaton Yoshida Mariko Hiromi Yagi

    In a way I can't wait until I get into 1995 to see this Flair vs Savage program. I'm not familiar with it, only really saw the Nitro era days, which I really loved.

    Short guys with short hairs wearing kickpads. Is this Roh ?
  20. El-P
    Ah, WAR...
  21. El-P
    Do you really think it was ? I mean, Kid beat Razor Ramon who was already a powerful mid-carder who had world title match with Bret Hart. Skip was a comedy gimmick who beat no one yet. I don't see it has the exact same situation. Anyway, it was good to see Horowitz get some TV time, as he was a really good worker (although I liked him better as a heel), but all in the detriment of Candido, who was doomed from day one.
  22. El-P
    Yes, he was singing. Hell, he used to sing it live as he came down the entrance when he was doing the Real Double J gimmick. The magic of the studio surely made it better than he is, but Armstrong was smooth enough.
  23. El-P
    Probably not southern twangy enough for Vince. Well, they did use it as an entrance music for the Real Double J Jesse Jammes (seriously, who thought up that name ?). It didn't exactly got him over huge...
  24. El-P
    Well, you underrate Horowitz pretty hard then. I don't think I'd call Tommy Rich in 1990 a *good* worker by any stretch of the imagination. A few good puch, some good fire, but pretty horrific execution, dull offense... Just yikes. Pretty carryable by the right people though.
  25. El-P
    Talking about Brad Amrstong has a guy perfect to make other people look good made me think of this one : Brad Armstrong or Barry Horowitz ?
