I have a coworker who used to be a rasslin fan back in the Attitude Era.... and I kind of got him back into it. He started watching again a few weeks before the Elimination Chamber.
So far, he says he is liking what he is seeing. He likes Daniel Bryan, The Shield, The Wyatts..... and he can't stop going on about Cesaro. Like every time he is like "That Cesaro man...." |
That Cesaro is a man's man

I saw that on the Network today :D

Savage used to plan the shit out of a lot of his matches and it worked, pretty nonsensical for them to "complain" about it
|
It makes perfect sense for them as wrestlers admiring another wrestler's work.
|
it's almost tantamount to taking something away from the "say what again" scene in Pulp Fiction because they probably discussed how to make it the best they possibly could beforehand. Plenty of guys pride themselves on being able to "go out there with just the finish and nothing else" and that's just lovely but as long as everything turns up roses, it's a daft "complaint" to make
|
If WWE wants to get buzz and promote Guardians of the Galaxy, i want to see Torrito vs. Rocket Raccoon.

They're not saying it's a shit match, but funnily enough William Regal and Steve Austin are men who know a bit about wrestling so they have particular standards. Learning that the match was pre-planned takes something away from what they thought the match actually was. Or maybe William Regal is a whiny smark and doesn't know what he's talking about, I dunno.
|
Oi TheRogerererer!!! How dare you fucking besmerch the good name of William Regal?.

Listening to Austin's Podcast with Lillian Garcia. She's been through a lot of shit, and one of Austin's drinking buddies I guess. Didn't know that one.

You said that it was nonsense for them to downgrade the match because it was pre-planned. As wrestlers, finding out a match was pre-planned makes it less remarkable an achievement because they previously thought it was called. Absolutely nothing nonsense about that, you could apply that to just about any school of reviewing your peers. |
Thanks WWE Network for letting me make this.
http://i.imgur.com/KNF6YDA.gif Lock Jaw is a terrible driver. |
Take it as a knock on Savage and Steamboat, or just take it as my unsolicited $0.02, but I've worked with guys before who plan out their matches move for move, and it is ridiculously frustrating, and certainly leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth after working with that person. Especially once you get out there and start forgetting things and everything goes to shit. Once you deviate from "the script" they start losing their cool.
At the end of the day, a good match is a good match though, whether it's rehearsed move-for-move or done on the fly. |
I can actually see both sides of it. On one hand, from a fan's perspective, I can see that a good match is a good match is a good match. So we can get away with saying how daft Regal is.
On the other hand, they're not looking at it from a fan's perspective. They are looking at it from a performer's perspective. Some folks like doing the pre-planning. Others like to improvise and wear the improvisation as a badge of honor. On their end, it's kind of like finding out that there was a great deal of overdubbing on Kiss Alive. It's not like one perspective is better than another, it's just a different perspective. |

It just reminds me of the video games, where have to see out the entire move, even if your opponent has moved out the way.

Or when they stand up while you're doing a leg drop or something, and it magically hits them anyway, on the head somehow?
God I hope 2k are doing their own thing this year. |

Anyone else hear about this? |

If you're a wrestler you will look at matches from the perspective of performing it yourself. It's not a call on the quality of the match. Why should William Regal and Steve Austin have to act like marks? They are wrestlers, they can project themselves into that match and imagine calling it live, and thinking just how crazy that is, and then when they discover it's not the case it's no longer as remarkable to them as wrestlers. I'm not letting this go because it's the most straightforward thing in the world. What is the point of getting two legendary wrestlers together and then expect them not to discuss things from the perspective of who they are. You are asking them to mark it up. |
I took Jabbas advice and watched TNA.
I made it only like 25 minutes Magnus is much better than I thought. Very good in fact. Hard to take Samoa joe serious. Fat, short, ugly and a stupid name it's always been hard for me to buy into him. |
Also I like the Bromans
|
Gonna try to watchtower he rests of the show today

Though that does remind me that Tyler Reks did some podcast recently and mentioned Sheamus. About Sheamus, he said "he was nice in the beginning, then I realised that he steps on heads and he suddenly isn't your friend anymore. He only does what's good for Sheamus." Reading that, along with the story FacePalmMonkey posted, paints the picture that Sheamus might be a bit of a dick. Reks also said some things about Cena, Triple H and Laurinaitis, so if anyone is interested: John Laurinaitis - If you're not on the radar, he doesn't care about you. I got belittled by him quite a bit. When I came back as T. Reks, that was Vince. Next thing you know, I was Johnny's best friend. And when all that ended, he wouldn't give me the time of day. He is not a nice person. He is all strictly business. Triple H - Nice guy. He's got everything dialled in for the company and he's taking it in the right direction. Definitely into helping his talent. John Cena - He's a workhorse. He does incredible things for the company and he busts his butt. Outside the ring, I can't stand the guy. He's not a nice guy, he holds talent down. He steals ideas. He's a prick. |

I watched the WCW Halloween Phantom vs. Tom Zenk match twice this past week. I have to say, in hindsight...

Wasn't it supposed to be obvious?

The way they hyped it, I don't think so. It'd have been easier just to say "a mystery opponent," and have Rude come out like that.

Former WWE star Virgil has a minor role in a new independent movie called Bridge & Tunnel. Producers cast Virgil after they saw him selling autographs in New York City's Grand Central Station. Below is the trailer:

kinda disappointed brock wasn't at the elimination chamber. the reaction for him would have been great
|
|
I hate that I like this current Batista character.
|
Also, Sheamus is really good.
Also, Alberto Del Rio. |
Agreed on all points. I'll even say dickhead heel Batista is the best heel in a decade. His facial expressions are just money and I love how he interacts with the crowd.
