There's something to that. You can watch late era Duggan or JYD and see what they do well and effectively and how they relate to the crowd and how and why the crowd relates to them. I think anyone on this website can easily explain why people were behind Warrior and it's even easier if you go back and watch the matches and pull out bits of evidence. Parv is doing this with Strongbow and the well seems empty. I imagine Parv is actively looking for something to cling on to and not just trying to further damn the guy here. He wants it to make sense.

I have a hard time placing EXACTLY when I started watching wrestling again in 98 since I really didn't totally dive in until the build up to Wrestlemania in Boston, but I distinctly remember this, so, maybe?

This is PWO where you never have to ask forgiveness for MMA ignorance.

Rush-Del Rio (no it's the UFC thing)

I really, truly feel that there's so much nuance in wrestling that I just missed out on completely when I was a teenager and in my early 20s and much more tuned into workrate. I've said it before, but what Benoit's death did to me was take me away from wrestling for a few years, and when i came back, the 96-06 period was really radioactive to me. I started a lot more of the stuff I grew up on and I started watching a lot more whole shows/months/etc and not just the big hyped matches and classics, and it hugely changed the way I thought about wrestling.

Your personal most Overrated and Underrated
Matt D replied to JaymeFuture's topic in Megathread archive
I think we're all a little like that when it comes to Dusty actually. -
Totally. I want to relive everything in chronological order I want All American Wrestling. I want that Wrestling Spotlight show. I want Mania I want everything in chronological order. I am insane.

Why do they think people want WCCW so much? What a weird choice of all the territories. I honestly hope we get a bunch of random Canadian stuff to placate them because we're not getting a bunch of anything else.

I raised it over on DVDVR but one of the more interesting things Morton said yesterday is that you shouldn't take a somersault bump on a shot to the stomach like some guys do, but instead keel over realistically in order to make it seem more realistic and generate heat. I'm not always a proponent of "wrestling should be as realistic as possible," because I think it's symbolic, but this is a guy who made his living on getting support from the crowd saying it. Now, that's just a babyface talking and a lot of these pinball guys are heels.

I wish that Ricky Morton was a poster here. He'd enjoy himself. But then so would Austin.

Heyman running with a Nixon gimmick is the way to go.

There are things I like a lot about 95 WCW but they mostly involve the tag division and random Lightning Express vs Blue Bloods syndi matches.
-
Magnum TA. What could have been.

Joe vs the World #75 with Dylan Hales talking NXT
Matt D replied to Joe Gagne's topic in Publications and Podcasts
Enzo and Cass should be heels. It's just the crowd. -
So they gained 30k since April?
-
I really like Lance paired with Dave Brown.
-
I didn't look at the date and got very confused for what I Missed this week. As for the march itself, it was very strange to me how far they went out of their way to say Dusty was okay with this.
-
There we go. I am committed. But I am fully prepared never to listen to Stacey again if this is painful.
-
Matches . I will watch as many of these as I can find next month.
-
It's the house style that gets me. Actually there might be one tag on there too. But in general? Look at my posts here. What do you think I would like?
-
We are away this week, but at a glance, I think two were Christian matches, the Storm death match, and maybe AJ vs Raven for sheer curiosity factor.
-
Of that list there are maybe four matches that I would be even vaguely interested in seeing.
-
There is one Dustin Rhodes match I like other than the bs Planet Jarrett finish. Everything else is a low.
