Edgehead Crush here is basically the dirt worst ever at selling kicks. The circling arms are not good.
-
Maybe chops aren't a great idea after the Roddy stuff? 1. It's already banged up 2. It can't really compare.
-
Cass is at least trying to protect his size in giving for Bryan but it's not going so hot due to execution.
-
They should really use WWE Purgatory for one since they cant use Armageddon.

Hey, that was your first post. Welcome to PWO, brother brother. Somebody should contact you shortly to offer you your complimentary fruit basket. Don't eat the dates. Here's your complimentary Archie the Stomper Gouldie promo. ... Actually, after a quick search, it seems like it's not online anymore. What a travesty! Can someone reup that?

I've seen a ton of Sheik matches, and if he ever took a legit bump I don't remember it. That was one of the things I found hilarious about the fact that he trained Sabu and RVD. Their styles could not possibly be any different from his. Somehow, I don't think The Sheik taught RVD the 5 Star Frog Splash. Although that visual makes me laugh and laugh. I'm pretty sure RVD couldn't sell, if that helps.

I'm biased too. My bias is that I don't watch this and go find something else to do for 15 minutes.

Alexa is 200% committed all the time in her ringwork. That goes a long way with me.
-
Some big bumps to the floor already tonight.

It says a lot about how you feel about wrestling if you think Miz or Rollins is obviously better.
-
I feel like it took him his whole career, but Miz has finally reached the level where he could have been the top heel in a mid-level territory in 1983.

If I was 16 again, I'd totally buy a Miz Cobra Kai headband.

To be clear, if they never bring him back and stick to it, I think that's fine. It's the firing him, waiting it out, and then bringing him back like it never happened that's problematic to me. As such, they've been careful with the recent statements, I think.
-
Hogan coming back. How they might use him. Why it might be a bad PR move for the company = prowrestlingonly I'm not sure about weighing general morality of slights, however. Maybe we ought to table this one for now and just wait and see what happens here?

Wrestlers who are BOTH Overrated and Underrated
Matt D replied to Microstatistics's topic in Pro Wrestling
Along those lines is Owen.. He's probably overrated for his 80s workrate-y stuff and underrated for his 90s character-driven heel stuff. Im more the opposite as I like his 80s stuff more than the 90s stuff. Perfect/Blazer at Mania I really love. Well, yes, that's the conventional wisdom. -

The thing with Owen is he tends to get more love from fans after he passed away, he was a good wrestler but I really don't see him being World Champion had he not died. I think if he had gone with the Harts to WCW then maybe but WWE side deff not. Along those lines is Owen..

I'll say this: if Johnny wanted to run a con on me in real life, I'd be in trouble, because I'd only be able to recognize his voice at 1.5x speed. But seriously, this is about the Fuller podcast and people should listen to it.
-
Ill apologize for all my train of thought real time reviews too then.

There are actually a pair of threads for it here, in both the 80s folder as well as the Portland-dedicated folder: http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/35875-buddy-rose-ed-wiskowski-vs-roddy-piper-rick-martel-23-falls-8280/ http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/22466-buddy-rose-ed-wiskowski-vs-roddy-piper-rick-martel-pnw-080280-23-falls/ Thanks for that. I tried a search but just ended up with the neverending Buddy Rose thread which didn't survive the switch to a new board upgrade years ago without formatting getting demolished.

SmartMark15: Rose/Wiskowski vs Martel/Piper in three parts. I don't see a thread here, but here's the SC review: http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2016/10/1980-match-of-year_25.html

They're around an hour and fifteen minutes, I think. Very easy to listen at 1.5x speed too.

Go find the paper trail.

1. I'm a lot more in tune with the news in general these days so the attribution stuff bugs me much more than it used to, but at the same time, why would any of us expect Dave really care when it's worked for him for decades and decades? When he made an entire livelihood despite it? 2. You should listen to the first Bischoff podcast. It felt a little like a best possible scenario given the reasons you listed. 3. The idea that anyone finds Bruce more credible than Dave is pretty outlandish to me because it comes down to intent. Bruce has more first-hand knowledge about these specific topics but Dave is the one who gains from finding the truth, to the best of his ability, and that has less (though not no) vested interest.
