Guest Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 A Saturday evening show should be as variety show as it gets things like lance archer dragging jobbers out for squashes that can bring back the teatime magic of Mr Blobby tearing up Noel’s House Party.  In reality It would be good if this was the show with a bit more storyline across a show, even if it’s just quick promos in the intro like Saturday nights main event used to have so you know who is fighting and why, give it a hook for why people should keep watching than go out instead Re putting skits on TV, I’ve said for a while that is what rampage should be. Funny stuff and entertainment that people half cut a Friday night wanna have a laugh watching. Sack off your Keith Lee types and have the dark order solving crimes or some goofy shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted May 19, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 Astounded people are calling for more Lance Archer on telly. Aside from Hangman dragging him to a fun match, once, he's been so so dull. File under "good in Japan". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not one for the workrate wankers but if you like wrestling big, loud, dumb and fun he's got a lot to offer. And his squash matches are always an absolute joy. Definitely a spot for him on any wrestling show. Edited May 19, 2023 by LaGoosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted May 19, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 Have they done Lance Archer vs. Darby Allin in AEW? I reckon that would rule. Ragdoll heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember what year but it was a G1 that made me really into him and I've watched him ever since. Worth having around for sure.

Chili Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I like Archer and it's a shame he got lost in the shuffle, loved him as the big monster not alligned to any group who just liked throwing people into bins and through ceiling tiles.

Paid Members air_raid Posted May 19, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 I would like to chime in with my near 20 year out of date contribution (per my core brand values) and declare that Lance Hoyt vs Abyss was really fun when TNA briefly spotted that Lance was getting over.

People started to notice him and not seeing him as the guy in the tag team with Harry Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only good in the states as per replies above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CavemanLynn Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I'd love for them to find a spot for Archer as the big meaty crowd-pleasing wrecking ball, the kind of guy the faces can call on when the angle calls for a tank to help overcome some indomitable heels. Of all the twenty-year-old tropes to bring back, I'd love it if they could do something with him like New Jack's later ECW run, just steaming out and having wild cartoon weapon brawls with no rules while music blares throughout. He's a big man, but proper high energy when he turns it on and was one of the best at knowing where the cameras were and playing up to them for the fans at home. A few people have said on here in the past that, for all his heelish mannerisms, he still comes across as that cool aging rocker in the bar who'll hang out and stop anyone from getting too rowdy, but you know if push comes to shove and he has to start swinging, all hell'll break loose. No title chases, just there for a good fight if you need him. It's a shame AEW has massively overplayed their hand with No DQs and blading, really.

Ah yes, "the American Psycho." One of my favourite memories of my trips over there was the extremely relaxed journey from Korakuen Hall where All Japan was letting us out, to get across town to Ryogoku for G1 Climax finals day - all the natives were absolutely sprinting to catch a train, but tsve and I strolled casually because we were 100% not arsed in the slightest about missing any of the scheduled opener, Archer vs MVP. Fairly sure we actually took our seats just as Porter applied the match winning "Irreversible Crisis." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 19, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 I hope Jeff Jarrett turns up as well. Joe murdering tiny lads. Has he wrestled Daniel Garcia yet? That'd be good. The idea of Joe Vs Shibata just popped into my head as well. I think I'm going to need to lie down in a darkened room for a while. Archer and Miro or Big Bill as some team of bruisers when the majority of the tag division is made up of smaller guys could be good, if the chemistry's there. Heck, stick them in some trios matches.

Paid Members Nick James Posted May 19, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 Right, I've got an idea that will make TNT and AEW a whole load of money... Saturday Night Satnam. Just 2 hours of Satnam being great with Jeff as his partner in crime. Book it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
