the Shape Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 From what I remember, "The Snake" just doesn't rate the guy. He really hated Jericho's microphone style, for some reason too. Â Cheers. Â There was alot of other wrestlers I could see Jake criticising but Jericho wasn't one of them and he didn't seem to praise him on anything. Your right though Jake is entitled to his opinion and just doesn't rate the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny McBride Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I remember the interview Jake did on the Talksport wrestling show where he went on at length about Jericho's problems. He reckoned Jericho was an ego wrestler, and would change all his shit to try and "keep up" with the other guy in the ring. Therefore, if he was wrestling a huge power guy, he'd start doing power moves. If he was wrestling a flyer, he'd pull out tons of aerials. If he was wrestling a mat wizard, he'd be busting out submission holds all over the place. Jake felt that he didn't have enough of his own shit to work into matches and didn't know how to pull himself back and let the other guy look good doing his own shit, but instead would try to match him and take away the emphasis on what made them different. He also knocked him really hard for nicking Benoit's triple suplex spot, because you just don't steal other people's spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members eugenespeed Posted June 19, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2010 Going through some old Brit Wrestling videos, I ended up watching this match. A Disco Challenge Match, Kendo Nagasaki vs Iron Fist Clive Myers, two of the UK greats, in a ring surrounded by a disco ball and a funky version of Beethoven. I know this era of wrestling came up with some corkers, but seriously what the hell.  Does anyone how or why this match came about? Was Brian Dixon on something or was he pushed into promoting it in a rather WCW Kiss Demon sort of way.  It was the first time the ITV slot was filled by a rival to Joint Promotions, and the WWF was scheduled for the slot the next week. I presume Dixon wanted something exciting and glam to make a difference. It was certainly different.  Thanks for that. It just seemed to jump out of nowhere.  Was it promoted beforehand, or did it just happen one week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 My nephew just got a bunch of wrestling figures off Freecycle and one of them we can't recognise at all. Â He has blonde shoulder length hair with a blonde goatee and is wearing grey combat trousers with very defined pockets halfway down the thigh. Â Can anyone help us work out who it is? I know it's probably really obvious and I'm just being thick, but we'd love to know who it is. Â On the bottom of the foot it had "TitanTron Jakks Pacific" if that helps at all. Â Â Cheers.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted June 20, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2010 Could it be Triple H during his "Invade WCW Nitro" phase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) I don't think it is HHH as his hair isn't quite shoulder length. Â Skinner was dark haired though wasn't he? And I don't think they would have made one of him in the Titantron range. Â There isn't anything being worn on the top half. Â The legs and arms are definitely movable.

Didn't think it would clash with TUF Final though so presumed it was Saturday?? Can't see it on any torrent sites yet which would be odd if it aired on Friday?
