Paid Members BomberPat Posted October 10, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 10, 2018 NJPW vs. A House is one of my favourite videos ever. No idea of the context, don't even know if I want to know the context, but it just gets better and better the longer you watch it for.

Mankind won the WWE title using a forklift for crying out loud! I loved the idea of using a forklift for the pin, but hated the camera being attached in anticipation of it.

Bloody hell. It never actually occurred to me that they’d done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to mention that it needed to be in the arena when I had a quick look as the McMahon/Shamrock "match" to refresh my memory and realised it was in the arena. Obviously just an issue with old MSG. Cool to see this. Read about it in @JNLister book recently and it just sounded mental. Good to see it is mental. Here's a panoramic shot that I took from the back wall showing literally the entire room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted October 10, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 10, 2018 Seeing a Gatoh Move show in that environment is honestly right at the top of my wrestling bucket list. Fuck your Wrestlemanias (Wrestlemaniae? Wrestles Mania?), that's my dream show right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Regal and Finlay batter the absolute granny out of each other [and several cars] in the car park of the Albany Civic Centre in Georgia while Bischoff freaks out for fear of getting thrown off air. I remember watching this as a kid and it is no less hard hitting and awesome now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted October 10, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 10, 2018 At a recent seminar on psychology/match structure, I watched the Eddy Guerrero/John Cena parking lot brawl. I have precisely zero memory of it, but it's good fun for a mid-00s WWE TV take on the genre, and a good example of how diverse Eddy could be.

It never actually occurred to me that they’d done that. Yeah. The forerunner of the terrible trend of trying to make things look as good as possible from a "drama" point of view but forgetting that's it's supposed to be live sport and you're knackering suspension of disbelief that things are occurring spontaneously. At least this was live, but it was still dreadful. Flash forward to the Undertaker v Edge Cell match at SummerSlam 2008 and those godawful production effects they conveniently added in the countdown to Edge's demise. Fucking terrible and detracted from my sense of dread/excitement rather than add to it. But again, at least it was live. Which brings me to the real poo in the punch bowl - the Orton/Wyatt fiasco. By 2017 they're so obsessed with the "we make movies" bullshit.... the cuts are utter nonsense. Watch how often the angle changes and there's no cameraman stood where one needed to be to get the previous shot. The match is meant to be live, for fuck's sake. We know it's been pre-recorded in case of fuck ups but Jesus, present it as live and have a fucking clue. I know its just as much "telling stories" as any other TV but this is a world in which presenters, cameramen, "the production truck" etc all exist and have even been part of the stories. No, I don't ever expect to see the cameraman or boom mic creep into shot in Thrones, but this is pro wrestling and please, fuck's sake, don't remind me how it's not real. Good job it was only Wyatt and then-floundering Orton, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted October 11, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 11, 2018 I'm all-in on Team Emi in that one - I think she's one of the most underrated veterans out there - but Mei is great fun in there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure on his copy someone had dubbed some forlorn music on it like you'd hear at the end of The Incredible Hulk during that scene. Would make for a great "Don't try this at home" video!
