Paid Members Maverick Posted March 7, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 7, 2014 Despite how much his reputation has suffered now Foley was brilliantly entertaining back then. His timing in particular was great.
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted March 7, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 7, 2014 I particularly enjoyed the skit where Austin got the sack and was hunting McMahon down. McMahon was holed up in his office, and Mankind came to give him some company bringing a bin bag of sweets and games. Comedy Mankind in late '98 was hilarious chasing Mr. McMahon's affections.
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted March 7, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 7, 2014 L.A Gore is my current favourite job guy on the old RAWs. Great mullet and 'stache combo. I was more partial to Mike Doggendorf.
Paid Members Maverick Posted March 8, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) What's the deal with Christians one more match gimmick? Iv'e been watching Raw for months and have no idea what it's about. Edited March 8, 2014 by Maverick
DeanoTheGame Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 It's in relation to him getting a title shot. It started during his feud with Orton over the WHC where everytime he lost he would ask for 'one more match', and it's pretty much carried on since then.
NEWM Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I love it anyway, but Boss Man's face turn just doesn't work for me, brother. The segment where it happens very quickly gets ace because Dibiase's such a great heel and Boss Man spitting all over him calling him a fat faced puke is more than enough to get the fans on board. But what's his problem with Slick taking a few quid for it in the first place? There's no way Boss Man wasn't wrapped up in all sorts of corruption for title shots and other chicanery in his first two years knocking about with Slick and Akeem. And to start the segment, he fucking leathers Jake with the nightstick. Just seconds earlier, he is a BAD bastard. The segment's still superb, but as a mechanism for the turn, I don't love it.
Merzbow Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 http://www.wwe.com/classics/velvetmania-photos How great are these?
Ant Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 They are great. Would make a nice little exhibition at Axxess.
Slapnut Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I'm watching Cena vs Big Show from Wrestlemania 20 on the Network, and during Cena's promo at the beginning the camera cuts to the crowd and you can clearly see the 'We hate Cena' guy chanting 'DAMN STRAIGHT' along with him.
Paid Members air_raid Posted March 9, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 9, 2014 The segment's still superb, but as a mechanism for the turn, I don't love it. With you, mostly because Boss Man's whole problem with Slick taking Ted's money is completely at odds with what they did with the same cast of characters - Slick, Twin Towers, DiBiase - at the Rumble a little over a year previous.
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted March 10, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 10, 2014 On a slightly similar note, I'm watching Wrestlemania 26 and I forgot how enjoyable Triple H v Sheamus was. A really good midcard battle between two heavyweight types. Mental looking back that they stuck Triple H in such a clear midcard spot.
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted March 10, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 10, 2014 On a slightly similar note, I'm watching Wrestlemania 26 and I forgot how enjoyable Triple H v Sheamus was. A really good midcard battle between two heavyweight types. Mental looking back that they stuck Triple H in such a clear midcard spot. He wanted it. Sheamus was his workout buddy.
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted March 10, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) It worked out. I enjoyed it more than the Lesnar match he had last year. Also, I forgot how brilliant Diana Hart's entrance was. She upstaged Bruce! Edited March 10, 2014 by ColinBollocks
MoistVaj Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 The opening 5 minutes of WarGames 91 was so good. Pillman and Windham just going full throttle, the rest of the match is also great, the stereo figure fours and a super performance from Flair. Pillman was the MVP though, so much so that I decided to re-watch a lot of his WCW run. What's the general consensus on Pillman's WCW run?
King Pitcos Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 On a slightly similar note, I'm watching Wrestlemania 26 and I forgot how enjoyable Triple H v Sheamus was. A really good midcard battle between two heavyweight types. Mental looking back that they stuck Triple H in such a clear midcard spot. It wasn't really a midcard spot -- well, WrestleMania midcard, but it was a main eventers match. Sheamus was WWE champion and undefeated until a few weeks prior. Once you take off Michaels, Undertaker, Cena and Batista, Sheamus was about as big a match as HHH could have had that year. It wasn't like he was fighting the pre-show King Sheamus of a year later.
