ECW: Irish Pub Brawl: Steve Austin vs. Booker T

[Jack-Hammer]

Booker T didn't quit in the match. He actually refused to quit. Some chick threw in the towel on his behalf.



He was main eventing in WCW during his last couple years there. Pretty much every single match had some sort of ******ed hardcore gimmick attached. I mean how many other guys do you know that have competed in a San Francisco 49er Box Match?


What do you think Harlem Heat was? It was a tag team that won the WCW tag titles 10 times because of their ability to "brawl."

Then he needs to tell Nash to get his bitch in line. He couldn't get free, he'd have eventually passed out from the pain so Styles takes it regardless.

When I say gimmick match, I mean an actual gimmick match rather than a desperate attempt on WCW's part to get viewers to possibly tune in to watch their shitty show. In old school ECW, most of those gimmick matches they came up with in WCW would be laughable.

Harlem Heat won the titles not simply because of brawling. As I said, Booker T is actually a pretty decent in-ring competitor. Also, Booker doesn't have Stevie Ray at his back in this match. It's completely different to be a good tag team that can brawl and be a singles wrestler that can brawl. Take the Dudleyz for instance, nobody can deny their hardcore chops as a team but they both had miserable singles careers. Like the Dudleyz, HH could get it done in a brawl together but not really so much in singles competition.

When Austin was a Hollywood Blonde he had fantastic speed. That was right around his prime.

Not really, that would be the late 90's.

Besides, again, its a small bar.

Thanks for bringing that up. Ever seen Austin throw a punch? Yeah, me too. He doesn't half take a big swing. I'll say he can't use the punches because, well, he just ain't got the room.

It's not like Austin is mentally handicapped or something

He's from Texas, drinks a lot, he broke his neck. He might not be certified but...

What's he going to do, run a circle around Austin and get him from behind?

Booker strikes me like the sort of gentlemen who'd run a train on Steve Austin's white ass.

Austin is infact capabale of turning around, so get that crazy talk right on up outta here.

Are we to believe that there are patrons in this pub? If so, Austin isn't turning. This is an Irish Pub, they're always full. Pint in hand, head down and don't do that American thing he does of being all loud and obnoxious.

Big bald guy? Yeah, get in line Austin. You're one of 50, each bigger, harder and uglier than you are.

Big black guy with dreads? The only guy who'd fuck with him is the big ginger guy in the corner. Possibly Sheamus O'Shaunessy.

Would you trust a kingpin of an underground snuff film production company?

Killergram is mainstream, and I'm an underling.

How about this: Booker pulls a gun, and then a condor flies through the window, steals the gun while simultaneously sodomizing Booker, giving Austin the coveted victory.

Fortunately, Booker has gone to the pub after a hard day on the set of his latest film. Teeth 2: Buttholes. He's a forgetful sort, he's taken the props home with him.

I voted for Austin, as I feel the match type suits neither particuarly well, as the beer drinking is just a formality, and Austin drinks lager anyway. Booker T was better than a lot of people give him credit for but Austin is one of the best ever and in a match where no specialist exists, the simply better guy wins in my view. Austin in his prime would have had a good fued with Booker, but he would have won in the end, plain and simple.
