Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 18, 2016 Do people try watch classic content chronologically? we've talked about this previously. I've tried but find myself wanting to dip in elsewhere after a few episodes. I just go random now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 If anybody enjoys a good ole slug fest, then check out:Belfast Bruiser (Finaly) Vs Steven (William) Regal from WCW uncensored 1996! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 That match were Schiavone tries to convince everyone that the crowd are in a stunned silence rather than being bored off their tits? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Finlay v Regal as much as the next guy, but that night didn't need an 18minute match from then on the second match of the show. Â If you suffer from insomnia though, check out the Street Fight between Sting & Booker T against The Road Warriors from the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCJ Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I've been trying to follow the Attitude Era chronologically starting with the Raw in December 1997 with Vince's 'we've been insulting your intelligence promo' Funny how a lot of things in life seem to go full circle.

Michael_3165 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Holy Foley was relatively fun, nothing earth shattering and clearly scripted but it was an easy half hour. Foley comes across as fairly reasonable whilst his wife has aged like a bag of turd - looks like a bloke with purple hair extensions. The story of Dewey and Noelle wanting to make it on their own is good and I can see from the next trailer that her ambitions aren't coming east. Though Noelle looks like a bloody foot, I think it's her mouth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWM Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 If you suffer from insomnia though, check out the Street Fight between Sting & Booker T against The Road Warriors from the show. Though, IIRC, is that the one where Book stepped in because Luger told Sting he was injured, but when they brawled backstage the camera caught Luger posing in a mirror?! That was a brilliant. Â Loved that whole angle between those two before the Hall & Nash arrival meant they had to bin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 That certainly is the one and that Lugar moment great, but it didn't need a 30 minute of Hawk no selling for it to happen. Â And then after that came the Match to End Hulkamania, which is a different kettle of fish altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Dem Wanz Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Just started on Holy Foley and If I never see or hear about Frank the Clown again I'll die a happy man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Oh fuck, I was contemplating giving the show a go, but if that bellend is around I might skip it. I bet he's in full clown makeup too isn't he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted August 30, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 30, 2016 I had a Network binge the other day and I've now watched more Holy Foley that I ought to admit to. It's awful, but lighthearted and easy going. Also, Noelle. Â I really enjoy the Ride Along episodes and Up,Up,Down,Down. Anything that comes in or under twenty minutes is perfect for filling the little gaps in your day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I went to a Jericho / Christian signing in New York last week. Â Noelle Foley was there too, to host the Q&A bit. Â What was funny was Jericho/Christian autographs and photos were included in the admission price, but Noelle was charging extra. Â People weren't having that. Â I think I saw 4 people out of the 100 or so people there join her que. Â Anyways, that Clown twat was sitting next to her and taking the money and such. Â He looked very upset that people didn't seem to know who he was. Â I only know cos I heard someone say it was him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I think I'd rather my imaginary daughter to be a crack smoking prozzie rather than date Frank the Clown... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I've been trying to follow the Attitude Era chronologically starting with the Raw in December 1997 with Vince's 'we've been insulting your intelligence promo' and am up to late May 1998. Ironically I was a fan from 1991 to mid 1997, then from mid 2002 again so missed the era completely.  It's been fairly entertaining but I haven't found the PPVs particularly great except for WM 14; the Austin McMahon stuff on Raw has been great but you still gotta wade through a lot of prelim stuff which can drag.  I know this was only the very start of the boom so hoping things pick up a bit soon.  Don't hold your breath, my friend - those WWF PPVs have so much filler it's unreal. Weighing it up...  Mania 14 - cracking show for atmosphere and importance Unforgiven - fine, nothing special Over The Edge - Awesome main event, little else King Of The Ring - Get your money's worth largely, but the undercard stinks at points Fully Loaded - Nothing to it Summerslam - Good show Breakdown - Nothing going for it outside the cage match Judgment Day - Turgid show Survivor Series - Marmite Rock Bottom - Appropriately named Rumble 99 - One of the worst Rumbles ever, I Quit saves the show Valentine's Day - Outside the top 2, another dog ugly show Mania XV - Absolute shits with a great main event Backlash - Fun main event, decent enough underneath Over the Edge - Not fair to rate really, but wasn't good either way King of The Ring 99 - Horrid Fully Loaded 99 - Nothing to write home about Summerslam 99 - Some real strong points, fun show Unforgiven 99 - Dud No Mercy 99 - Thumbs up Survivor Series 99 - Thumbs and dick way down Armageddon 99 - Fuck ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I really love most of those cards. I think it's because they were the shows I first started retroactively watching by buying old tapes, having only got into wrestling in 2000. The aura of them for me at the time when I was 10 or so was quite cool and even though the wrestling on them has aged horribly they've stil got that I guess. Big freaky lugs with weird gimmicks slapping each other about whilst J.R. and King argue about Mr McMahon and Austin, using JFK and Freddie Blassie reading from Deuteronomy and clips of like... bombs being dropped for your vignettes. All that cool shit. Â Once you hit 2000 though man does it change fast. 2000 really is the best. The good feelings manage to linger past X-Seven and all the way to about SummerSlam 2001, I reckon. Sometimes I watch stuff from that era and wonder why I bother watching anything else. Too Cool and Crash Holly are probably the lowest acts on the A shows and they're so over it's terrifying. Â I think Enzo & Cass get that non-smart arsey, 2000, everyones invited for the ride pop every week now too and it's great to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I was compelled to watch HBK vs Hogan from Summerslam. I loved it, didn't think it was too bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
