I think Brock won because the WWE hoped DC would mention the title at UFC 230 (which he did)
|
I don't think Vince knows how hard DC will murk Brock
|
I think DC called it the WWE title or something.

Was he considered a one time champ?
IMIO he should only be considered as a one time champ. |

WWE does recognize him as a 2-time World Heavyweight Champion. I'd argue in their favor since (in comparison) Randy Orton's first WWE Championship reign was also a result of being awarded the title by Vince McMahon at No Mercy '07. <iframe width="928" height="696" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iVhkDYMlie8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
I am having deja vu.

It's also odd that the WWE doesn't recognize him as a former World Tag Team Champion. He was a champion as part of the Spirit Squad under the Freebird rule.

The World Tag Team Championships could only be held by two men. They were Kenny & Mikey. They were defended by the others under the Freebird rule, but Kenny & Mikey would be the ones who lost the titles if that happened.
It's only been since The New Day won the WWE Tag Team Championship that all the members of a Freebird unit at recognized as individual champions. |

Remember when an F5 was a spinning ddt... as opposed to what it is today where the opponent basically falls on their side or back. He used to spin them into the move, now he just sorta pushes them up and off to the side a bit. |
I was just thinking about this the other day. Now everybody takes it on the side or back. I could have sworn it was more of a DDT back in the day. You can see some guys taking it on the side in that video though.

Lol, there was one hit on...I think Shannon Moore? He actually spun around himself before hitting the move, and Moore basically exploded before he even hit the ground.

Big difference is Brock is 15 years older in between those F'5's and Strowman is at least 2 times heavier than Moore..... When was the last time Brock hit the move on a non "big-time" name since his return? Throw Lesnar in a match with Zack Ryder and I bet Lesnar sends him flying....
|
I have no idea why I remember this, but Brian Adams did the F5 on WWF T V in 2001, well before Lesnar did. He did it in Kronik's only TV match in the WWF against Kaientai. I remember way too many stupid things. F5 is around 4:40.
|
pretty nice F5 here

Ok so he apparently did it in WCW too. Johnny Ace was in WCW at the time, who Lesnar attributes the F5 to.

Raw starts with the roster (mostly mid-card, women and jobbers) around on the ring apron and Vince comes out. This is his "Ruthless Aggression Speech". The crowd starts drowning him out with "asshole" chants so Vince has to start yelling into the mic. He continues to basically talk about how great he is and how he "took on every wrestling promoter throughout North America" and that he "kicked every one of their asses" and also how he defeated the American courts. He said it was because of "Ruthless Aggression" and in doing so, almost scares the shit out of D'Lo Brown, who I guess wasn't expecting Vince to lunge towards him yelling "Ruthless Aggression". SPOILER: show Vince later asks who on the roster has "Ruthless Aggression" and he says that it's Brock Lesnar, which makes me think that this whole "Ruthless Agression Era" started when Lesnar won King of the Ring and it was all built with him in mind to carry the company but it soon changed from Lesnar to Cena. Vince makes a match for tonight, Bubba Ray Dudley vs Eddie Guerrero and then he walks over to Jeff Hardy and points at him and that's enough to get the women to start screaming their heads off. Vince then says Jeff's name which makes the women pop louder. Hearing all the women in the arena scream their heads off for Jeff Hardy is one of those things I've always associated with him. Watching him as a kid I would kinda laugh to myself and roll my eyes whenever I heard the women scream for him and I still have a little smile now when watching old shows. Vince then makes Jeff Hardy vs Underaker for tonight and bans Matt from ringside and he is just about to leave the ring when the nWo appear. Shawn Michaels has the mic and basically buries the entire roster. I don't know if it was just him getting into the role of being an nWo member or if this was legit Michaels but I never really noticed how much of a dick Shawn Michaels was back when he returned. Booker T then grabs the mic from Vince and cuts a short promo on the nWo basically saying they suck. Goldust enters the ring and tells the nWo that he and Booker T are "tight" and that they're like brothers and then that they're practically married which gets the crowd laughing (and I remember that moment so vividly). Booker T challenges any member of the nWo and Vince instantly rules out Shawn Michaels who lets us all know where he thinks he and Booker are in relation to each other by doing this: SPOILER: show Again, I don't know if this is legit Michaels being a dick or not. Vince then rules out Kevin Nash because he's not 100% from his bicep tear injury. Vince then randomly threatens Nash by saying "by the way big man, if you, Kevin Nash, don't live up to expectations, you could be joining the unemployment line with your buddy Scott Hall!" which drew a really loud "OOOHHHH!!!" from the crowd and this was Nash's reaction: SPOILER: show I don't know if that was a work or not but Nash really didn't look too pleased at that. Vince then makes X-Pac/Big Show vs Booker T/Goldust for tonight and Booker T ends the 15 minute opening segment with a Spinaroonie. First match of the night is a tag team match and it's Bradshaw/Spike vs Regal/Nowinski During Nowinski's entrance, Lawler pulls out Harvard's 2000 Yearbook and shows Nowinski's photo but at the same time, shows the entire world Nowinski's home address. https://i.postimg.cc/C1wY5mhj/zaq1.png We can only hope that Nowinski wasn't still living there at that time. In the end, Nowinski pinned Bradshaw. We then see Vince backstage and he tells Sgt. Slaughter to tell Tommy Dreamer and Raven that they'll be facing each other tonight and that the loser will never be seen on Raw again (random, but I liked it). Vince enters his office and we see Jackie Gayda wearing a big trench coat. After talking to her, Vince makes another tag team match for tonight. Molly Holly/Jackie vs Trish/Linda Miles (even though Linda was on SmackDown last time I checked). Jackie then takes the trench coat off (because why not?). SPOILER: show After that, a vignette plays for Mysterio's WWE debut. We then see a skit I remember so vividly with Goldust (there's a surprise) where he is Steve Irwin. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZceP9BmKOlQ?start=14" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> I remember this skit, with the parts I remember the most being Goldust saying "Oh Gnarly", calling X-Pac a "grease rat" and saying "be very careful, they tend to suck!" before throwing his plastic crocodile at X-Pac and running away. After seeing The Hardy Boyz quietly split up backstage, we rejoin Goldust being chased by X-Pac. Goldust runs into a room and as X-Pac follows him in, Booker T whacks him over the head with some kind of metal plate and it made a hell of a noise as it went over X-Pac's head, so I can only imagine that it actually hurt. Booker T then calls a now unconscious X-Pac a "little kangaroo koala jive wombat". Dreamer/Raven now and Dreamer won which was a short but good match and as Raven leaves, he's attacked by Matt Hardy in the parking lot. As Raven was leaving, the WWE Network's player froze and I had to skip ahead by ten seconds to get it working again. After that, the video quality was pretty bad so I'm guessing something went wrong when they were uploading this episode to the network. Later in the show we have Trish/Linda vs Molly/Jackie and you could tell that this match was mostly made to give Linda & Jackie some live ring time as they only really did your basic moves such as dropkicks, hip toss' and wrist locks. Lots of wrist locks. I did notice however that during the match, Jackie looked really lost and out of place. She didn't really look confident at all, whereas Linda on the other hand looked the exact opposite. It surprises me to think that later down the line that Linda was mostly relegated to being a manager with The Basham Brothers whilst Jackie (even though she was a manager too) continued to have a fair amount of matches and is still wrestling today but she is semi-retired and she still has a decent relationship with WWE as they did invite her back for WrestleMania XXV. Linda on the other hand retired in 2004 and has absolutely nothing to do with the world of wrestling. Backstage with the nWo and Shawn Michaels decided to look at us all at home for a split second. https://i.postimg.cc/QM11hxCF/zaq2.png X-Pac & Big Show vs Booker T & Goldust Just before the bell, Lawler questioned why Goldust called X-Pac a "grease rat" and he then said about Booker T that "you can fry chicken in that hair, it's so greasy". It was a good match which really showed that the crowed were really behind and invested in the team of Booker T & Goldust at that time. X-Pac and Big Show won. Main Event time now and it's Rob Van Dam vs Brock Lesnar for RVD's Intercontinental Championship. However, not long after the match started, a fan was getting escorted out of the crowd and it looked like it was by police and not arena security, as they looked too formal to be arena security. They were wearing white shirts with what looked like a badge on them and it looked like they had radios but there were also men wearing black polo shirts (like what your usual arena security guards wear). Anyway, it was caught on the hard camera and the fan was taken off screen but a couple of seconds later there was a very loud "OHHHH!" from the crowd and then everyone stood up and looked towards the stage where the police/security took the fan. We then saw police/security running from the area behind the announce table towards where the fan was taken and the camera angle even changed from the hard camera to a cameraman at ringside and we stayed with that camera for fifteen seconds. SPOILER: show I can only guess that the fan (possibly drunk) began fighting the police/security or another fan. Just like Raw, we start the show off with Vince McMahon, who introduces Kurt Angle. Angle enters the ring and Vince leaves which then makes me realise that we had Tony Chimel introduce Vince McMahon just so Vince McMahon could introduce Kurt Angle. Angle willingly takes off his wig and as a result, everyone takes pictures and we now have the arena flashing like a main eventer's finishing move is being preformed. Angle then issues a challenge to face anyone and then some guy called John Cena appears. Angle wins and after the break, we see Faarooq, Rikishi and Billy Kidman backstage congratulating Cena. The Undertaker then appears and does the same, shakes his hand and I'm left feeling like I'm watching cutscenes from a SvR story mode with a newly made CAW. Tag Team Championship Match with Billy & Chuck facing Hardcore Holly & Big Valbowski (because reasons?). Billy & Chuck won but even though the team of Holly and Val was random and the fact they got a title shot was random too, I actually like that sort of thing. We return from a break and Torrie Wilson comes out in her underwear and at the top of the ramp, walks to the the left of the stage and then the right and that was it. We then seemed to return to our normal programming. Undertaker comes out and cuts a heel promo on The Rock and Triple H but then Kurt Angle comes out and Undertaker begins to cut a very face orientated promo on him. It then got me thinking that Undertaker shaking John Cena's hand at the beginning of the night was the beginning of his face turn. So right now, Undertaker is something like a tweener. We return from a break and Torrie Wilson comes out in her underwear again and does the exact same thing as she did before. Not that I'm complaining, really. We then have Test vs Rikishi and I'm pretty sure this match took place as a way to build up Test joining Lance Storm and Christian and forming The Un-Americans, as throughout the match Test kept having altercations with the referee and then Test accidentally hit the referee which caused him to be DQ'd. Also, the most obvious sign was Tazz constantly (and not very subtly) reminding us all at home that Test is Canadian. The most obvious reminder being Tazz referring to Test as "The Canadian named Test". After the match, Test argued with the referee and tried to attack him but Rikishi saves the day. Lance Storm and Christian then try to save Test but Chiristian gets a superkick from Rikishi as soon as he enters the ring. We return from a break and see the Lance Storm, Christian and Test backstage get that little bit closer to forming their stable. Noble/Tajiri vs Kidman/Hurricane is next and during the match I realised that the women who won Tough Enough (pre 2010 revival) didn't really have much of an active singles career and were only really "successful" as managers, whereas the men that won Tough Enough (pre 2010 revival) went on to have decent singles careers. Men: Maven - Decent run over four years which included three Hardcore Championships. John Morrison - Great run over nine years which included two Slammy Awards, five Tag Team Championships, three Intercontinental Championships and one ECW Championship. Matt Cappotelli - Very talented individual who everyone was high on but a brain tumour ended his career but he still stayed with the company in some capacity for four years. Daniel Puder - There is always one that's not like the others and for the men, it's Daniel Puder. He was only with the company for a year but he kinda screwed himself over by being a massive prick. Women: Nidia - Spent three years with the company and the majority of that time was as a manager to Jamie Noble. She also didn't win any championships. Jackie Gayda - Spent three years with the company and the majority of that time was as a manager to Rico and Charlie Haas. She also didn't win any championships. Linda Miles - Spent two years with the company and the majority of that time was as a manager to The Basham Brothers. She also didn't win any championships. Anyway, back on track now and after the match we see Torrie Wilson on her way to the ring to do what she's done twice before tonight, but she comes across Stacy Keibler who tells her she's going to go out on stage in her underwear. Torrie then challenges her to see who the crowd will like best. A break finishes and Torrie comes out and basically shows her ass off and is then interrupted by Stacy Keibler, who in turn is interrupted by Dawn Marie who cuts a promo on them and manages to start a fight between Torrie and Stacy. Reverend D-Von & Batista ("Deacon" has now been dropped) vs Faarooq & Randy Orton and this is Batista's in-ring debut. I don't know about Batista's fire crotch attire though. https://i.postimg.cc/J4gs0Dsp/zaq3.png Throughout the match Michael Cole kept pronouncing Batista's name like "Ba-tista" and not "Batista" like everyone else, although we all know that he eventually pronounces it right. The match was OK with the highlight being a pretty brutal looking clothesline: SPOILER: show D-Von/Batista won with Batista pinning Orton. After the match Michael Cole and Tazz advertised the WWE ShopZone catalogue and it reminded me of the days when I would get the WWE EuroShop catalogue delivered to my house when I was a kid. I actually think I still have one but it's up in my loft somewhere. Main Event time and it's Hulk Hogan vs Chris Jericho. Since starting this, I found myself now skipping Hogan's entrances for two reasons. 1) I really can't stand his badly dubbed theme. 2) Recently, his entrances have always been long as all hell. Five minutes of it is usually just Hogan doing his ear thing in the ring. Jericho gets himself DQ'd by smacking Hogan over the head with a chair and he then is about to hit Hogan again but Edge returns by mimicking Jericho's entrance. He then runs to the ring and attacks Jericho. During the attack, Tazz is talking/yelling but then the audio quality of his voice suddenly changes to be more clear and he also sounds more relaxed and somewhat robotic (as if he's reading lines) as he says "Hogan's feeding Jericho to the vengeful Edge" and it's pretty obvious that that line was recorded after SmackDown and then added in. Also, the word "vengeful" isn't really something Tazz would say, so I'm pretty sure it was lines Tazz was reading. Edge then Spears Jericho and Cole pretends to be Paul Heyman watching a Rhyno match and yells "Spear! Spear! Spear!". The show closes with Hogan and Edge doing Hogan's ear thing. I'll end with a classic. Signs. One is a misspelt sign and the other is a sign that makes you think "why?". https://i.postimg.cc/MGXxQtgR/zaq5.png "TRIPPLE H" https://i.postimg.cc/XYjnVn8s/zaq4.png |
