Paid Members Accident Prone Posted April 26, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 26, 2019 3 minutes ago, Devon Malcolm said: You'd have thought somebody who has the nerve to call themselves the King of Strong Style would have offence that doesn't look even pisser weaker than Booker T or Dolph Ziggler. He couldn't even have really good matches with AJ Styles. He's been absolute shite. No denying that he's been crap in WWE. Bar his incredible debut against Sami Zayn, his matches have been lackluster. WWE is clearly a money move for him and fair play. Whether he still lives up to the 'King Of Strong Style' name or not in WWE is certainly another fair point as he's clearly toned it all down and he seems happy enough raking in the dosh whilst not killing himself on a monthly basis. I'm sure he loves not having to go through a massively grueling and punishing tournament every summer as well. But as @tiger_rickpointed out, he pre-WWE work is genuinely brilliant. No one chats about Albert's/Giant fucking Bernard's matches in New Japan, but everyone waxes lyrical about Nak's battles against the likes of Ibushi, Okada and Tanahashi (even his one match against Styles before signing with WWE). So aye, he's a bit shite now but was legitimately one of the best in the world.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 26, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2019 Albert vs Kane in 2001 was better. Dunno why. Just always loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched any of the new MLW before but I assumed his announcing would be a bit tongue in cheek in line with his podcast gimmick, but clearly not. On a side note I was really impressed with the overall presentation. The whole thing looked really professional and well produced. Was my first time seeing both Riddle and Strickland. Riddle definitely has something about him - was really impressed with him. Strickland less so, but he was fine. Was super pissed off at Riddle immediately no-selling that arm spot at the end though - I thought that looked incredible even if Strickland couldn't have made his clapping any more obvious. Don't know a whole lot about MLW V2 but I believe Schiavone's co commentator is the former NXT announcer Rich Brennan or Rich Bocchini as he's known there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 The MLW:Fusion Episodes that have started airing on Freesports, are they up to date, or are they old episodes? Wouldn’t mind giving the promotion a go, but would rather jump in where they are now rather than play catch up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philjax Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 You can just watch them on youtube from wherever you like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted April 29, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2019 Just watching a bit of this on FreeSports, first time I've checked it out. Fuck me, the production values are dogshit. Is it really so difficult in 2019 with all the tech and industry talent available nowadays to put together a title sequence that doesn't look and sound the same as it would have done on public access TV in 1999?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 30, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 30, 2019 i think i liked it because it reminded me of 1999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BigJag Posted May 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 15, 2019 Cheers. I've been trying to watch it on Tuesdays at 2200 for the last couple of weeks. I should have checked the EPG more thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) A nothing show this week, shame as it's been fun recently too. Jacob Fatu vs Barrington should have been a great big bastard brawl but was over far too quick with an awfully weak looking finish. El Gringo Loco should never be in a main event, ever. And midget vs rocker that even I could probably batter was awful, you can hear Jim laugh as it finishes. The highlight was Teddy's promo and Davey Jr corpsing hard.

Merzbow Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Who's bloody agenting these matches, a Van Terminator in the middle of the opening match? Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Usually one of the wrestlers. Used to be MVP, then it was Sami Calliham. Maybe Jimmy Havoc or someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
