Haha quality, Regal's reaction at 0:42 on that video is brilliant!

Here's another question about the movez. Remember that first WWF arcade game where Andre and Dibiase were champions, and Andre's special was the over the shoulder backbreaker lift. Did he ever actually use that in the WWF? I remember Rick Rude used it for a while, but all i remember Andre using was an elbow or ass drop as a finisher

Don't recall him ever using that backbreaker, but I would guess he would have used it early on in his career. He didn't use it in his WWF run.

 

Andre also used that strange looking single-underhook side-suplex thing as a finisher. He used it on Hogan when he won the title from him.

Aye, i remember that now you mention it. I think he pinned Bigelow with it on one of the early Survivor Series too.

 

I saw a youtube clip once from the early 80s where he busted out the pedigree, which was a bit of a WTF moment. I always thought Skinner was the first to do that.

I've watched the Unbreakable match on numerous occasions and it was every bit as good as fans make it out to be; however, I've not seen their TP scrap and subsequently have never heard much about this one. The list in general is very good and I'm just wondering if anybody who has seen this match could tell me whether or not it deserved to included in a top 100 matches of 1994-2011 list.

 

This is massively subjective but here goes.

 

The criticism of the first match (if you can call it is criticism) is that its none stop. Completely high octane, spot spot spot. Admittedly it was extraordinarily exciting, one of the candidates for best match in TNA history. The constant action means that personally the "third guy having a breather" spells that pervade triangle matches (which is one of the reasons I hate them) were either briefer or less noticeable. It's a non stop thrill ride but there is little in the way of psychology or selling, even though there is a feeling of building towards the end when Joe splatters outside. Its pretty much perfectly paced in that respect, and a lot of the near falls are pretty convincing.

 

Conversely, their match at Turning Point has more in the way of selling - there is less action but it feels like the stuff they do means more. As I recall there are also several spots that are cool nods to previous battles each has had - including with each other - and its a good "storytelling" match that builds to a satisfying end. With my pervert hat on, I'd say it is the "better" match.

 

But I'd still rather watch the Unbreakable one, because it sets my heart racing.

 

Make sense?

Watching the 1998 Royal Rumble match here. Why have they edited out Cactus Jack's music? His original theme was WWF produced was it not?

 

No the theme Cactus used in the wwf was stock music which has appeared in porn and other things. The theme they replaced it with in that rumble is Cactus's WCW music Mr Bang Bang.

Due to add the site down-time over the last day, they have put everything on 48hour free-leech.

 

If you can log in, go get some free rasslin!!
