Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted June 9, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 9, 2016 I thought I read the WWF got rid of Hudson because they didn’t feel he was up to par with the other commentators?
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted June 9, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 9, 2016 Heenan & Hudson doing a cable access Heenan & Monsoon I'd love to see more of. There is so much WCW stuff out there unseen or looked over.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 9, 2016 Author Paid Members Posted June 9, 2016 They were really good on Worldwide together. Seemed like Bobby Heenan was having fun for the first time in years. Here they are doing a WWF Collisum Video style skit. Lovely stuff. Still amazing to think that WCW had the Power Plant nearly 20 years ago. Considering how proud HHH is of his performance centre, it's not as revolutionary as he'd love you to think.

Lets be honest-WWE has been built on taking somebody else's good idea and making it their own. Wrestlemania, Attitude era, NXT, performance centre. All of them copies of something else. WWE rarely have original ideas. The next thing they will steal is Lucha Underground

Whereas the Performance Centre out strips most professional sporting facilities.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 9, 2016 Author Paid Members Posted June 9, 2016 But wasn't the Power Plant pretty crap by all accounts? Whereas the Performance Centre out strips most professional sporting facilities. I think that's generally said to be down to the trainers and the attitude. Fucking Buddy Lee for christ sake. Facilities are great but coaching is what matters. A great coach can make the best of poor facilities. Great facilities won't make a shit coach good.
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted June 9, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 9, 2016 Into March 2000 WWF. The TV is so good. Al Snow & Steve Blackman are fantastic undercard acts. Great fun, completely forgot their duo.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted June 9, 2016 Moderators Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Head Cheese? Wait until you see Chester McCheeserton. Their vignettes were funny though, especially Steve Blackman doing stand up at an old folks home. Shit booking but funny. Luckily that summer they found out how to book him (Like a badass, who'da thunk that? Booking Steve Blackman as a badass?) and he got over finally. Proper over too. I know there's the cliche of "just let them wrestle" and thinking it'll get wastes like Lance Storm over, but with Steve Blackman it's exactly what he needed. Everyone knew he was legit, so just book him as a hard cunt. They probably should have done the same with Perry Saturn, as he's one scary looking legit mother fucker.

Paid Members WWFChilli Posted June 9, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Yeah, I remember the cheese bloke. That was rotten, but the skits have been suoer fun, decent team. Al Snow compliments Blackman well. Also of note, Mae Young and the original Pulp Fiction APA stuff is quality. Mae Young was tough as. Yeah Saturn and his cock eyed walk look like a man who has just committed something monstrous. Edited June 9, 2016 by WWFChilli
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted June 10, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Trevor (from Eastenders) was awesome. You should be honoured to have recorded his reign of brilliance for posterity. A right cunt of a man in real life supposedly, which is why his "film career" never went anywhere.

A great coach can make the best of poor facilities. Great facilities won't make a shit coach good. I think the "revolutionary" tag WWE are attaching the Performance Center is down to the fact that in addition to a few rings and excellent trainers, they have extensive workout areas and all of the TV production stuff to practice and record promos and interviews etc. All the Power Plant appeared to have were a few rings, questionable trainers, and a few weights lying around. Wasn't Pistol Pez Whateley holding a shitty camcorder in one corner of the room when they were cutting promos the day Louis Theroux was there?

While that's all true, a lot of that is due to the changes in technology and the reduction in cost. There's no doubt WWE make more of their facility but I still think the Power Plant in itself was more revolutionary. It's almost certainly where HHH nicked the idea from.

Sonny Mustang Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Is there a reliable online source for watching Raw and SD? I have the network, but thinking of getting rid of cable...
