El-P Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 Self-conscious critical wankfest is what's coming. Quote
WingedEagle Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 Knowing Dylan, it is the latter. So much for his babyface turn. Quote
goc Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 I eagerly await Dylan vs. AJPW consensus. But it better not come before he does the update to the "Dylan compares HHH to..." thread. Quote
TravJ1979 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 If the undertaker had a different gimmick from 1990-2016, but all of his matches were EXACTLY the same in this alternate universe as they played out over the last 26 years we all observed ... would he have ranked in the top 100? Quote
Matt D Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 They wouldn't have since he was working as his gimmick demanded? Quote
goc Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 More interesting would have been if he'd never gone back to being "The Deadman" and stayed the "American Bad Ass." It had some bad moments for sure but he did have the great HIAC match with Brock during that run but I loved his heel run where he was beating up on young guys like Maven & Jeff Hardy. He was also a GREAT promo during that time period. The promo with him in the graveyard before the Buried Alive match with Vince is one of the best promos ever imo. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 A lot of hipsters. Never had a craft beer in my life Quote
Dylan Waco Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 Is the battle to reorder AJPW consensus or to destroy the consensus that AJPW was the best wrestling ever? I'll wait at least until the marathon show Kris and I dropped before I get to this, but I rate all of the vaunted AJPW workers from the 90s well and on the show even mention that if pressed I'd probably still call it the apex Quote
GOTNW Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 UWF II is the peak of wrestling but there are plenty of other promotions/promotional runs I'd take over All Japan as well. If the question was specifically about a lengthy run then 90s All Japan might just take it. Surely there have already been threads discussing that very issue? Quote
Loss Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 GOTNW has a point. Without UWF 2.0 forcing the other companies to raise their game, 90s wrestling in Japan would have been something very different. I don't know how the pillars navigate feuds full of countouts and DQs. Quote
Bierschwale Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 Dylan goes all in for Tamon Honda? Quote
Johnny Sorrow Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 They wouldn't have since he was working as his gimmick demanded? Totally. "Would Meadowlark Lemon be as loved if he played in the NBA his whole career?" Quote
Goodear Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 Would Ric Flair be beloved if he was called Sparticus and wore an earring? Quote
