Paid Members Linus Posted December 25, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted December 25, 2014 I just discovered Botchamania. It's ace. I wonder if I'm on it anywhere? Although, given I'm only ever botched - ahem - 3 moves I doubt it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 They should've turned Triple H face the night after Mania 17, we wouldn't have had the shite Two Man Power Trip vs BOD feud and the crowd were dying to cheer him anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanny Pack Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Stuart Tomlinson (Hugo Knox in NXT) was on Soccer AM today. Came across like a nice fella. They showed a little montage of him training in the Performance Centre and this lads throwing 10 foot high spinning heel kicks! Obviously they will need to employ a absolute giant for him to connect with them but christ it looked impressive. Â Good luck to him! Â Also im afraid ive got some GOOD NEWS!!! Barrett was back last night, Wades ace and i hope he stats injury free because hes a World Champ definately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.PeterVenkman Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 That match itself was alright but the World title match at Judgement Day was shite and the promos and angles were dire, Austin is probably my all time favourite pro wrestler but that angle where he'd rang Taker up saying his wife had been in a car crash was one of the most cringeworthy things I've ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I'd say Austin would've been a bit paranoid about letting Triple H become the top face in case his heel turn bombed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Possibly, he certainly didn't do Jericho and Benoit any favours in making them top line faces, though in fairness to Austin it was the weird booking of the KOTR main event that did those two in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Yeah, the WWF was in an odd position at the time, with the whole invasion angle just getting started and Benoit's neck fucked. A straight 1-1 match with Jericho would've been the best solution I always thought. Have Booker cause a double DQ, and then a big WWF vs WCW schmozz to end the show.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 27, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Triple H was going to be the top face. Austin vs Triple H was supposed to be the main event of SummerSlam. The turn was set in motion the night HHH tore his quad. He lost the IC title to Kane the night before and he questioned where Austin was to help him. The reason for the Two Man Power Trip team, was to have a little gap so Austin didnt move straight from feuding with a heel Triple H to a babyface Triple H. HHH and Austin only stopped their 4 month feud in the February. Its why Triple H beat Austin clean at No Way Out when Austin was main eventing WrestleMania the month after. They couldnt start another feud in the April. HHH was going to be the next big thing in their eyes. Then he done his quad in and they instead tried it in the January.

Dr.PeterVenkman Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Yeah I remember them wanting those two to main event Summerslam, just felt the demand for Triple H to turn face was at its peak the night after Mania, plenty of reasons why they didn't do it though as you say  Wonder if they'd have still brought the Rock back for Summerslam if Austin vs Triple H was still going to happen?

TheShowOff Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Wonder if they'd have still brought the Rock back for Summerslam if Austin vs Triple H was still going to happen?  Probably, Rock waa white hot when he left to go filming.  2001 was the height of my fandom in many ways. I was chopping at the bit to see Rock get revenge for Mania 17 and the post Mania Raw, but it never really happened. Him and Austin had a throw away on a UK PPV, and finished up a Survivor Series where the empathise wasn't on their feud. It felt like a huge void at the time. Looking back, it still doesn't seem right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MungoChutney Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I've seen Mark Andrews wrestle live a handful of times and never thought he was all that good. Willing to keep an open mind if someone could point me to some of his better stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Tommy! Posted December 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted December 28, 2014 Mandrews is fantastic. I'm not much for that style, truth be told, but he astounds me as his shit looks astounding and impactful. And he is, by all accounts, a nice guy to boot.
