Mrzfn Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Watching some early 91 WCW and you can tell how happy Dusty is to be back in the company and booking again. He can't hide it I love the moment at Wrestlewar '91 when Hansen and Vader are killing each other about 6 inches from the commentary table. Jim Ross sounds legitimately afraid for his life but Dusty is practically bouncing up and down with glee to be back in the thick of things.

KawadaSmile Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Is Kane one of the worst bumpers ever? Is it bad? I legit never noticed. Do you have any matches that stick out to you with him being particularly bad? I'm curious now. It's not bad in a "delayed, no jump back bump", but every single time he took a pedigree, he fell on his knees. That happens with tons of other moves, too.

Coffey Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Who is the better worker? Big Cass or Erik Rowan. Inquiring minds want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 The worst thing I can say about Rowan is that he's not Luke Harper. But who is? He's inoffensive. Never got the hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Rock Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Rowan was never a good singles worker but he's definitely a better tag guy than Cass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riderman Hongo Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Cass is a middle of the road worker overall not offensive but not top level either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthedoctor Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Yeah, Bruiser was a notorious non-bumper too. That shoot when Steele told a story about how Randy went mad when he told him he never bumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Who is the better worker? Big Cass or Erik Rowan. Inquiring minds want to know. I'm not a Rowan fan but he's kind of scary and looks cool standing around. I give him a slight edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Rowan has perfectly fine offense and doesnt swing his arms like a moron when getting kicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Doesn't Rowan have way more years of experience than Cass, tho? I would go with Cass, if only for the fact that he can actually have engaging promos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Not sure what everyone thinks about MJF here, but his documentary by Kenny Johnson was released today: I'm a big fan of the guy, so I'm going to be giving this a watch shortly. Edit: Watched this. It's unbelievable. Must watch even if you aren't a fan of MJF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 I think Rowan has overall looked better than Harper so far this year. People don't like Rowan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrzfn Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 I've just discovered MJF this year and I already love him, so I'll have to make time to watch that documentary at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Who is the better worker? Big Cass or Erik Rowan. Inquiring minds want to know. Rowan by a wide margin. We are probably better workers than Cass. I think being near someone worse like Enzo protected Cass. Watching some early 91 WCW and you can tell how happy Dusty is to be back in the company and booking again. He can't hide it Why did he go to WWE in the first place? If there were problems maybe he would have been better doing the indies for a couple years. Dusty left after he was fired as booker by Jim Herd. He left as a talent in January and tried to get Florida going again using his own money. This put him in a hole financially. That is when he went to the WWF. Meanwhile things are falling apart in WCW and Herd has to go crawling back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthedoctor Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 So im slowly plowing through WWF in 2001 watching the weekly TV and PPV but now ive hit a roadblock because the last show I saw was Mania. At the time I hated the Austin heel turn and still do now as im sure alot of others just wished McMahon had gotten stunnered at Mania. So do I bite my tongue and force myself to continue watching or do I just say screw it and go for a different year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brockobama Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I really like MJF but only in settings where he's not wrestling. During (or maybe more specifically before, in pre-match promos) his own matches his heel work degrades into the same old bullshit in my eyes and while it's not strictly bad it's just boring. Even more boring are his actual matches. Absolutely love the guy as a corner man or a commentator but I'd rather not see him in the ring until he gets a few more years of experience under his belt. EDIT: I don't know if there was an actual story behind it, but the name change is hilarious to me too. Did he not know about Feinstein or what that name might mean in indie wrestling, especially in the northeast? Too funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that he genuinely didn't know that there was a controversial figure in indie wrestling named Feinstein. I'm not saying he doesn't have room to improve but I don't really see exactly what you're saying you don't like about his work? That it's...what, exactly?

brockobama Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Just that it's rather bland. Doesn't impress or intrigue me in any real way unless he's doing a special sort of match like the Tier 1 bout with Garrini last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousin Rob records all his matches and even pays for kids to watch him wrestle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Are there any good historical resources for pro wrestling in Japan in the 50s and 60's. I am toying with the idea of doing an All Japan podcast where I go through the matches in chronological order but I want to also go back and hit matches in the JWA. I have quite a few matches from that era but I would like a good resource on the formation and things like that so I can properly communicate the history.

TravJ1979 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Let's assume that SummerSlam is Brock Lesnar's last match. Let's say that the build is that he is challenging anybody on the current roster to try and take away the Universal Title before he goes to UFC with it. Who's music would get the loudest pop for answering the challenge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
