    Wasn't that whole thing kinda debunked? Or at least it didn't go down quite like that? As far as I know, not really. Someone said, I don't remember who, that he wasn't surprised very much when that happened, that Joey was a tough little Italian while Bradshaw was just a big bully who would only mess with weak people and take advantage of guys inside the ring while they're giving him their bodies, but would never ever mess with tough guys. Yeah, as much as I found Style's political stuff repulsive, I admit punching Bradshaw made him love him for ever at least for one thing.

    Agreed. In a recent shoot interview, Shane Douglas gives him tons of credit for working in really tough conditions, that don't compare at all with what WCW and WWF announcers were working with at the same time, and pulling it off despite all the bullshit. Joey was a big part of getting the ECW product over. I think he got exposed as soon as the first PPV, and his character became a bit annoying after 1998. He was at his best on his own before that.

    Well, I'd say The Warlord in the PoP was much better than Sid.

    Having Dustin Rhodes speak like his father was also a retarded idea.

    Ok, I see... Poor Lance.

    Enlighten me please. I have no idea what Storm Front means, although with the reactions above I'm kinda guessing. (btw, Todd Martin is the one who did the proofreading, so blame him I guess).

    It's going to be yet another fiasco.

    Honky Tonk Man often talked about how he made way more money working indies than if he got a Legend's contract.

    I think Sid was generally more over as a face than as a heel, and I think it might have had a lot to do with his offense. As a face, it's not as important for him to actually hurt the heels as much as it is for him to beat them. His clotheslines in the International Incident six-man looked pretty weak, but it didn't matter because it was Sid coming in and cleaning house, so the fans went crazy. When he actually had to build heat on a face by making it look like he was killing the guy, he didn't do as well. I might be reading too much into it, and maybe it was just that Sid was a guy whom people wanted to cheer. Actually that's an excellent point. I think Nash is still underrated somewhat. Especially his WCW stint (the nWo one, not Master Blaster/OZ/Vinnie Vegas). (If someone wants to break this into a Sid/Nash/how to work as a giant/monster, we'll probably be fine with it. Unless we're done already.)

    Sid had an unbelievable physical presence. His body, his face, his maneurisms were great. Watching Sid squashes in 1991 is pretty entertaining. That being said, I agree with waht Loss said. The issue is that he was physically imposing, but he could only look devastating on offense if someone was making him look devastating. Otherwise, Sid could look like a clumsy goof. He was especially goofy on selling and bumping. That said, there has been times I enjoyed Sid. His super hot period in 1996/early 97 constitutes his peak to me, working with guys like Vader, Shawn or Bret surely helped things a lot. But Sid was all about what the other guy would do. I feel Kevin Nash was better than that. More dynamic to his few moves I thought. It's no wonder Nash had much better matches than Sid had with the same opponents, and a variety of good matches against a variety of workers.

    Disapointing that the Bodies didn't work more in ECW. Would have been fun.
  12. El-P
    I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.
  13. El-P
    True, but that's not very hard to do.
  14. El-P
    Utter shit, which he is.

    Martel said that when they worked together, Bravo was the face in Montreal and the heel in Quebec City, as Bravo is from Montreal and Martel from Quebec.
  16. El-P
    Didn't Bravo and Gino Brito own the Montreal territory ?

    1995 is clearly the peak of Toyota to me. By 1996, she was beginning to slip a bit I think (although I'm not sure to what extent, I'm not familiar with AJW in 96), and by 1997 it was obvious she had passed her prime. Maybe this match has been forgotten, but it was pimped as a great match back when I first got into joshi in 1998, so...

    I don't know about numbers, but he has the rep of being a major name in Montreal and the entire Province de Quebec, when it was a hotbed for wrestling. On top there with the Rougeaus.

    I don't get the appeal of Tommy Rich at all. I've seen some of him in Memphis, and he wasn't particulary good. I'm currently watching lots of him in WCW in the early 90's, and he's not good there. Thus far the only time I enjoyed Tommy Rich was as a manager for the FBI in ECW.

    Giving the Fabulous Freebirds, two guys whose strong point was talking, not one but two managers (DDP and Humperdink disguised as a roadie) who weren't nearly as good on the mic is one of the baffling decision of the year.

    Some think I'm preaching to the Nise Kami no UWF, Nobuhiko Takada. Damn Fujiwaraesque heretics... They can twist it any way they can, Takada turned Gary Allbright into fine wine, and forgave Vader. And he sacrified himself in the Tokyo Dome for the good of Pride and japanese MMA...

    You can argue Sullivan booked the über succesful Monday Nitro during his peak years. Knew how to put heat on heels at the very least. Of course Sully run his course and got burned out, but that would happen with anyone.
  23. El-P
    Wasn't that called the Jumbo Suplex ?
  24. El-P
    Corrected.
  25. El-P
    Damnit, we don't have the same source !
