returner82 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 5 hours ago, BomberPat said: Yeah, there are points in that Guerrero/Nova match where Cornette never shuts up. He's got some good lines, but during Nova's comeback he doesn't even pause for breath. You're not doing a radio broadcast, let the visuals speak for themselves. The match is a bit rubbish, too. Konnan/Art Barr is just surreal. Not exactly surprising neither got signed at the time, based on that. Konnan playing mid-90s WWF babyface is very odd, particularly when he's working under a generic name, while Art Barr is in his WCW copyright infringement gimmick, wearing a "FREE PEE WEE HERMAN" T-shirt. Super Crazy vs. El Hijo del Santo is really fun, though. Particularly given that it's barely five minutes including entrances. Santo just has a real grasp of the basics that shines through, while Crazy hits (especially for the time) one of the maddest moves I've ever seen - genuinely can't tell if it's what he's going for or a fuck-up, but it looks painful. Glad it's not just me that thinks the Guerrero/Nova match is sub-par, yet Jimsy talks it up like Flair/Steamboat. And the bit at the end with the Damaja coming in ("That damn Damaja! Brain Damage!") and the out of shot nasty face stuff back to Nova is cringeworthy, a precursor to the sort of stuff they do now. I got a kick out of the Pee Wee t-shirt - birds of a feather flock together with him and Art. Not being massively into lucha libre, I was shocked how small Santo was. And I think the move you're referring to is a botch. Second attempt at a springboard moonsault but he slips and it becomes a Banzai Drop. Super Loco looks odd, though, like a create a character mix-up of Abismo Negro, La Parka and Dolph Ziggler.
Paid Members BomberPat Posted October 12, 2018 Paid Members Posted October 12, 2018 Yeah, I assumed it was a botch, but it's such an odd move to go for a second springboard moonsault under the circumstances that I really wasn't sure - because he still manages to land something. Another thing I just remembered - two or three times during Konnan/Barr, the camera guy just loses interests and zooms in on a Refreshments sign.

The first time I thought it was zooming on like Vince and Patterson or something watching. Second time I realised, it's just two randoms below a big sign.

It's lucky that the botch didn't end up with him landing arse-first on his head, which would've been death. I thought the camera man spotted someone with a hat he liked in the first instance!

Harry Wiseau Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 The House Hardy Halloween special is as GLORIOUS as you'd imagine. The best thing to happen to Halloween since Richard Richard went through three pairs of tights in one evening.
WyattSheepMask Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 It was certainly something you can be sure of that
The Gaffer Posted November 18, 2018 Posted November 18, 2018 The new Dean Ambrose chronicle is well worth a watch. He continues to be one of the more interesting personalities of the past decade. Totally his own man, and not the slightest fuck given to having to WWE things up for the crew following him. He comes off as The Guy material here again, though, in contrast to that watershed Austin podcast. I want to go and watch a bunch of his work now. Roman is great in it, too. I miss him.
Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted November 18, 2018 Posted November 18, 2018 I watched the AWA Team Challenge series... Interesting, odd concept which is worth watching just for the ring entrances alone! There is some good talent on show as well - I am hoping that the Network adds a lot of AWA content in the coming months.
FUM Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 Edge and Christian Show is back. I remember it getting a small cult following on here last season. Decent enough time killer the first 2 eps of the new season.

Really funny stuff with the Edge and Cena show.

The King Of Swing Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Samoa Joe selling girl scout cookies. That's my moment of the year sorted.

I remember hating the first few episodes but slipping into its well intentioned nature, regardless. Next thing I know I'm halfway through it and it appears to be packed with smarty pants humour that was a sufficient cut above.
