freaky

Can't see what all the fuss is about myself.

This is a post filled with jealousy methinks.As Mackem Man said its a bit like going to a cup final, but I would take it a step further than that, its almost like goign to see england playing in the World Cup Final and knowing that there going to win.20 weeks today!!! Roll on WrestleMania XX

***delivers a smug smile***About time some company got round to making this... I sent a TV company my documnetary on Backyard Wrestling LAST YEAR, and I'd been working on it for a year previous to that.And as for it's format, it was exactly the same as mine... I smell a lawsuit.As for the content, I'm chuffed Selby got some proper training, as when I met him I could tell he had talent, but needed to channel it in a better direction.Personally, most of them look like a bunch of socially inept, sad teenager, especially the pair who were the only two members of that XHW fed. (Which, by the way, featured the lamest bumps ever.)Hopefully, this will signal the end of BYW, and not cuase a resurgence, but I think the people who came off the worst were the parents.FOR CHRIST SAKES, DISCIPLINE YOUR CHILDREN!!!Overall, it wasn't too bad, and probably won't cause the expected WWE backlash, as the only time they were mentioned is when that girl was playing with the figures, and that's hardly a crime, just juvanile.CZW should expect a bit more of a cult following from the gore-hungry kids though.By the way, this topic's going to be discussed on Powerslam Radio this weekend, so if you've got an opinion you want read out on air, send us your thoughts to radio@powerslam.co.uk

Ok first off I'm a huge Bret fan. However tryin to seperate these two is like splitting hairs.When it comes down to "wrestling" Kurt Angle IS THE MAN. No two ways about it. That doesn't mean i think he's better in the ring. Bret could tell a story where as with Angle it's a great match, but JUST a match. Bret's matches were "deep" where as Angle's are fast paced thrillers. However Angle is a victim of today's fast paced main event matches. If asked to do the job Bret did many moons ago, I'm certain he could compete, but unfortunately the WWE is different from Bret's WWF. Angle's job in today's climate is to provide entertainment; not a story. For this reason I can understand why people think Bret is boring or an effort to watch, but if you're after emotion, a story and a match you can watch ten years from today it's Bret every time! However i can understand why the younger fan would pick Angle when they want to see an entertaining match.In terms of the mic and character it's another tough call. Bret did screw up a promo OCCASIONALLY yes, but his variety and depth were much broader than Angle's. Angle is smoother on the mic but his character is limited as a face and a heel. He just doesn't cut a believable promo as a face and is too "funny" as a heel to take seriously. Once again though, Angle is a victim of today's wrestling climate where wrestlers are given scripts (in Angle's case comedy scripts). And once again if he was on the mic "back in the day" I'm sure he'd cut as good a promo as ANYONE. The recently more "serious" Angle is a great improvement and if he's still here in five years, i must confess that i will probably be talking about him as the "greatest".I'd have to say that for their achievements up to now Bret is better on an all round level. (Just compare their iron man matches.) Oh and please dont compare a legend like Scorcese to the idiot Bruckheimer! It just aint legal.
