Baz Windham Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 I thought that outside of the Shane stuff, the Orton/HHH build had a lot of great stuff in it and was by and large an excellent build. There hasn't been a better built WWE Title match since. It's the absolutely terrible execution of the match that makes it worse looking back, combine that with an incredible match between HBK/Taker on the night and it's easy to say that should have gone on last. However, in terms of the build HHH/Orton should definately have been last match for me.

However, in terms of the build HHH/Orton should definately have been last match for me. To some extent I agree, but the build wasn't THAT good. It had its moments, but a lot of crap and nothing that made it stand out as must-see considering the many matches they'd had over the previous five years. The execution absolutely balled it up because the match didn't even try to warrant that spot, but they were always on shaky ground putting HHH vs Orton XXXVVVVVVIIII on to close WrestleMania. "For the first time since those forgettable ones last summer!"
Baz Windham Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 The thing that frustrated me the most was the one time you wanted a good old fashioned ref bump and run-in filled brawl to hide the fact that they'd met so many times and to do justice to the personal feud, we got a pretty standard match they'd done the aforementioned 284 times.
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted November 2, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 2, 2012 Everything about that match was so dead. No run-ins, a clean win for HHH that killed any momentum Orton had left from that red-hot few weeks around the Rumble... was that brawl in Orton's fake house where they had cameras everywhere before WM or after? Orton/HHH should have gone on last because Orton had some potential to be really great at the time, but it also should've had a title change and, y'know, been any good.
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 3, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 3, 2012 IGN have put together a list of the 50 greatest wrestlers of all-time. Starts well, Rick Rude at 50, then Samoa Joe is next. Yikes! Do TNA have a new game coming out or something? Otherwise this must be a mistake.
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 3, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 3, 2012 Rick Rude would be top 10 or 15 on my personal list (if I had one). He had everything, if he came along now instead of the 80s he'd be a top guy easy in my opinion. I've enjoyed some of Samoa Joe's matches but he's not fit to carry Rude's robe much less be placed higher than him on any list ranking wrestlers. I know these things are all opinion but that particular opinion is wrong. Rude was the bollocks.
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted November 3, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 3, 2012 Too true Shogun. Never in a million years is Joe above Rude. As you say, Rude would really be higher for me too and Joe probably wouldn't even crack the 50.
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted November 4, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 4, 2012 What the fuck is with WWEs latest PPV ads? Hell in a Cell and Survivor Series have been shocking.
robbo9292 Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 I agree, its ok Miz is on the poster but that is one horrible advert
King Pitcos Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 I think the Survivor Series one is the worst ever.
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted November 4, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 4, 2012 A very pissed-up Arch Stanton and friends resorted to pulling off Ryback arm pumping manoeuvres on the dancefloor at about 2:30am this morning. Ergo, Ryback must definitely be over. He's made it as far as I'm concerned. This type of utterly retarded fanny-repelling behavior has previously been exclusive to Scott Hall mannerisms. There was a lad in the club wearing some awesome HBK spandex tights too (the iconic 90's design). Are you a fellow UKFFer? Own up.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 4, 2012 Moderators Posted November 4, 2012 This type of utterly retarded fanny-repelling behavior has previously been exclusive to Scott Hall mannerisms. I did the Scott Hall strut through Wrexham High Street at 4am on Friday/Saturday. Hopefully no-one saw.
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted November 4, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Was it fancy dress or he was just rocking them anyway? The Scott Hall scary fingers have come out a few times over the years for me. Edited November 4, 2012 by ShortOrderCook
Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 4, 2012 Moderators Posted November 4, 2012 Why is Scott Hall just so fucking cool in every way?
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted November 4, 2012 Paid Members Posted November 4, 2012 He just oozes machismo.
