Steven Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Allegedly, Eve choked out Matt Hardy after he drunkenly made a pass at her.
cheapshot Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Allegedly, Eve choked out Matt Hardy after he drunkenly made a pass at her. That's fantastic.
Kostka Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Billy Gunn looks like Barry Windham circa 93.
rovert Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 In his interview with PWInsider Jim Cornette said besides the Smokey Mountain history book he is doing (a la the Midnight Express book) he and Mark James are toying with the idea of a SMW Viewers Guide with all the format sheets of each TV show included.
goodhelmet Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Rough week for ex wrestlers as Meltzer mentioned that Rosey, Bobby Eaton & Bobby Fulton are all in rough shape this week.
MikeCampbell Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 In his interview with PWInsider Jim Cornette said besides the Smokey Mountain history book he is doing (a la the Midnight Express book) he and Mark James are toying with the idea of a SMW Viewers Guide with all the format sheets of each TV show included. Awesome!
Matt D Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 In 94 there was a North Georgia promotion that had TV on Channel 14 in Atlanta. Was that Peach State Wrestling (which had the Armstrongs as heels) or something else?
KrisZ Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Peach State was based out of Cordele....the promotion you are thinking of is North Georgia Wrestling Association
Dylan Waco Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Was NGWA where New Jack broke in Kris?
Loss Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Posted January 24, 2014 This remains my all-time favorite opening to a wrestling commercial release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqk_f6plJiI
KrisZ Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Yep along with Disco Inferno, Buff Bagwell, Mustafa Saed, Scotty Riggs, and others
Blehschmidt Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 This remains my all-time favorite opening to a wrestling commercial release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqk_f6plJiI That one is awesome. I am also a big fan of this one...
Grimmas Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Since I will never get a response to this anywhere else, I want to pose a question. I did a top 25 matches in Royal Rumble history piece for Place to be Nation and on it I listed the minis match from 1998 (#22) and I did not list the Benoit-Angle match from 2003. What I want to know is how anybody can think that the Benoit-Angle match is better. They are both spotfests that lack stories that are just put together to pop the crowd. However in the minis match the high spots are all these cool high flying dives and springboards, while the Benoit-Angle match is filled with German suplexes and popping up after dangerous moves. A match with no real story, a spotfest, makes a let more sense to me with midgets wearing masks then it does in a World Title match. To me, the minis match made more sense in that context and had better spots and kind of flowed better. So, why the love for Benoit-Angle and the hate for the minis match?
goodhelmet Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Hey brother, we discuss the Rumble match in the Angle thread.
Grimmas Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Hey brother, we discuss the Rumble match in the Angle thread. I will post this question there, hopefully somebody has seen the minis match since 1998.
tigerpride Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 The mini-match at best is a sub-8 min match designed to fill time on a show and only exposes how thin the WWE roster at the time, while also showing how Vince continued to not get why the cruiserweight division was so successful. At worst it's your usual lucha midget spotfest that's been to death. I don't think people hate the midget match, it's just no one has given it a second thought, because, why bother?
goodhelmet Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 I think that is his point with Benoit vs. Angle.
tigerpride Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 I was arguing this with him at Scott Keith's blog and explaining why it was different. Was puzzled as to why he didn't have some great Rumbles on the list, yet had RR 95 on his list, which is awful.
Strummer Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Punk interview where he finally speaks about the Beadle/AJ deal, his current angle, his place on the card, Bryan, and Hunter doing some MMA training. http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/1/24/53405...-network-ufc-on I think it's impossible for this man to not come across as a dick in any form of media. I think he would freely admit that
Sidebottom Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 He gets a kick out of people who have never met him forming very strong opinions about him. His personality seems to relish it.
goodhelmet Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 I usually don't stick up for Punk from a personality standpoint but at what specific points in that interview did he come across as a a dick to you?
Log Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 I thought Punk was fine in that interview. Best part was that he has The Undertaker's urn on his kitchen counter.
hammerva Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Yeah unless you consider "self confident" as being a dick then I don't see a problem with the interview. If you are still expecting Punk to act humble then you will be waiting a long ass time I would be interested in Punk inducting Warrior though
