Most of my favourites are stereotypical workrate perverts’ usuals. But I loved Sid. He was convincing, and the powerbomb was the bollocks.

Joe Blog Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I unashamedly love the Survivor Series match where Big Show takes on all of Bossmans team. It’s a squash really but it’s still shit because of who is in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted February 27 Paid Members Share Posted February 27 There’s a lot old Survivor Series matches that get called shit, especially from 1990 where half the roster is protected by count outs or DQ. But I loved The Warriors against Mr Perfect & Demolition - even with Ax’s hair. It helps that Ultimate Warrior, Texas Tornado & Legion Of Doom was a dream team for the era, that Demolition never really lost their aura for me as a child and that I was a huge mark for Perfect and especially for the PerfectPlex. And yes, it’s rushed, four blokes are sent out in one over the top DQ and it’s a bit WCW seeing Kerry walk out wearing a belt he’s already lost in the ring but it hasn’t aired on TV. But I love it all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That had absolutely no right to be any good - Steiner was knackered and Lashley was still in his phase of being impressive looking but fairly boring. Â And yet they had a great brawl. Favourite moment from Steiner's run there - him being goaded by the crowd into delivering a Steiner Screwdriver to Petey Williams (a move he'd probably not attempted in a decade). and flipping the crowd off in the middle of it.

I assume that's considered shite, because all of his work is, but to me it's a belter. I haven't seen it in years but when I was a kid, I got the UK Rampage tape and I fucking loved that Warlord/Anvil opener. I absolutely loved the backstage promo later too. Warlord's in the opener on SummerSlam that year, which is a real sleeper favourite of mine, and the match with Davey at Mania is decent too. I liked him. No idea why he was so shit in Royal Rumbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I remember most about that was them fucking up the entrances so Anvil's music plays and Mel Phillips is 90% of the way through announcing him, then the camera pans to Warlord halfway down the aisle. "Well that's hardly the Anvil" says Vince on commentary. Bet that wasn't what he said when he pressed the talkback button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall both being pretty poor but the Rumble one was the entertainingly bad one! You're right, I'd conflated the two in my head, possibly because I couldn't believe they booked a rematch after the first one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enjoyed Tornado/Bulldog/Dragon vs Warlord/Power & Glory, there's a chance you'd enjoy the match the three babyfaces also had with the three man Orient Express on the SummerSlam Spectacular which I saw on YouTube. Really rare use of Sato once the regular team had become Kato & Tanaka/Bad Company, until he came back as Shinja. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember it being mentioned on the SCG shows Liam did with Kyle Ross. Not sure if I'd seen it before then. A three man Orient Express is definitely an odd thing to see.

simonworden Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 In light of his passing I'm going to mention Virgil/Vincent/Shane (can't remember which name Vs Stevie Ray for control of the nWo B team. Absolutely atrocious but it's always stayed with me as being a C show feud getting a PPV match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
