Loss Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Once again, WHERE IS THE WAR GAMES BUILD UP? Good interview in spite of me not being a fan of this angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 100% what Loss said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yeah, all the War Games guys are all over this yearbook and there is no mentioned of them being in that match. Quite the difference from the build up of 94 War Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Rude with a good heel promo saying Steamboat can't get through him, but no mention of their PPV main event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Boy, I'm pumped for this big Rude/Steamboat title match at WrestleWar! The roles are reversed but this angle is way, way too similar to the Liz/Savage/Flair triangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCampbell Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Good promo from Rude, but, like Loss said, where is the buildup to War Games? With all these great promos, I'm bummed that the blowoff to Rude/Steamboat was the Iron Man Match, which was non title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 It just hit me; this angle would have made more sense if it had been a rehash of the Cheryl Roberts angle from 1988. Have Rude as the stalker and Steamer as the one looking to humble him and avenge Bonnie by taking the U.S. title. Yes, it's a note-for-note copy of Savage/Flair/Liz, but sometimes you can't improve on the "original" (note the quotation marks). Rude does well for what he's given here, but this angle's already so strange and uncomfortable that it really doesn't matter. Knowing that WarGames, WCW's ultimate proving ground, is being largely ignored and that the blowoff to this feud will be non-title kind of makes the whole thing a wash no matter how good the performances are at a given time. Even if Steamer beats Rude in the end, he gets nothing whatsoever for his trouble. They'd have been better off stashing Vader in the bullpen for a while, having Rude go title vs. title with Sting, and either sending Steamer after Austin and the TV belt or keeping him with Dustin to feud with Arn/Eaton over the tag belts. (What do you do with Windham? Who knows?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hard to fault Rude here, he does great with what he is given. Just hard to swallow the whole way this was booked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
