Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Watching some early Raw is War episodes from 1998 on the WWE network and I may be in the minority but, I quite like Kevin Kelly as part of the 3 man commentary team.
Bosco Blick Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 That springboard stunner just looks like a botch to me. Not a fan.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 23, 2015 Paid Members Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) I'd have loved to have seen that Doink vs Bulldog match that was supposed to happen at Wrestlemania 9. That may have been the least subtle feud in the history of the business. Imagine Davey Boy's reactions to Doink's mindgames. "Eh, there's fookin' two of them? How can that be?" with his arms out wide asking for a hint how one of them could remove their arm. Over acting at its finest, I imagine. "Two fookin' Doinks?" Edited April 23, 2015 by IANdrewDiceClay

Cannibal Man Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I love that impression Bret does of Davey on his Timeline shoot when they bring up the proposed Doink/Bulldog feud, and it being shot down with Bulldog's courteous and thought out response of "I'M NO WORKIN' WI' A FOOKIN CLOOWN!" I was pissing myself for hours imagining Davey's mind breaking in two and absolutely losing it when the booking team come to him with the notion of him booting an evil clown up the arse as his big Wrestlemania feud and for weeks after just every so often shaking his head and saying to nobody in particular "...kin' clown...takin the piss..."
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted April 24, 2015 Awards Moderator Posted April 24, 2015 On Curt Hawkins new shoot interview, he tells a story where Vince McMahon held a meeting. Michael Tarver stood up and asked a question to which Vince said "excellent question Shelton". Fucking class. Reminds me of when Sir Bobby Robson used to call Shola Ameobi 'Carl Cort'. Good old Vince.
Liam O'Rourke Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 The Goldberg one was the perfect handling of a star until the finish. Goldberg was like the hardest man that ever lived in that match. I remember spending days and months recreating that match on Smackdown Here Comes The Pain. Goldberg comes in and destroys everyone. YES! I did this again and again...
Pinc Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Killer Mike of Run the Jewels and Dungeon Family fame has released a video for his 2011 song 'Ric Flair'. It's a little odd that he's done this now with the song being four years old, but the video features some cool footage of Naitch so enjoy (it's a tune too): <youtube>
King Pitcos Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 There'll never be a finisher as over as the stunner (or as utterly perfect for that place and time) but there are plenty I think are on that level. The F5 is a fantastic looking move that has incredible impact and is hit so quickly. The F5 is a bit hamstrung because of Brock's contract. His matches, rare special attractions that they are, will probably rarely end with one F5. The nights where it takes three finishers to kill someone are the same nights Brock's wrestling.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted April 25, 2015 Paid Members Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) I think the disabled wrestling scene in Japan has been going on for years. I remember I watched two Japanese guys with no legs wrestle each other when a tape trader stuck it onto the end of a VHS I bought in 1996. It was well odd. Edited April 25, 2015 by bAzTNM#1
CTXRussomark Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Yeah I had a whole tape of it years back. One of those things that we all pissed ourselves at back then but would feel totally different about if we watched it now. Like Bumfights.
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 So I'm sat outside Wetherspoons in Preston and there's wrestling fans here, any of you lot? If there is don't look for me, I'm with real people so fuck off Even though 3 out of the 4 of us just went on about how ace Kevin Nash is
moofasa Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) You do know PCW has BIschoff, jarrett and Karen Maria, RVD juvi and Sabu. Dump the real people and get yourself there. Edited April 25, 2015 by moofasa
