I didn't get their appeal. Granted i don't like putting two main event guys together and saying they're the best tag team after like one match. That might be due to me growing up on 80s tag team wrestling though.

I agree with this statement 100%.

Back to the Mick Foley questions, to which this will be my last, do you think anything more could have been done with Foley, or do you think he was able to achieve everything that he could with his ability?

I'm not sure I get what you're asking here.

Should tag title feuds be seen as something that's as important as World Championship feuds?

Should angles between two major tag teams for the gold be allowed to end PPVs?

I think three WWF Titles, a string of great matches and various clips that are on highlight reels forever are pretty good accomplishments.

I never truly considered either of the two main event guys. They spend way too much time outside of the title picture and main event feuds to truly have me considering them anything but upper mid-carders. You know, the kind that can challenge and win a world title but just as quickly get bumped into the mid-card feuds again.

I would think no to both but I could see instances on the first where it could be. At a house show I could see the tag matches going on last because if you have two GREAT teams there are instances where nothing at all can follow them.

As for ending PPVs, no. A pay per view should end with a one on one match for the world heavyweight championship, period.

That makes sense, but they're in title matches so often that they're more like main event jobbers.

Top 5 matches of 2010 thus far?

In no order:

AJ vs. Angle 1/4
Taker vs. HBK II
Anderson vs. Angle at Lockdown (that's the MOTY so far for me)

Those are the only three to jump out at me but Punk vs. Rey at OTL was good. Oh and Cena vs. Batista at Mania. That was very good.

I've always seen a problem with this as I can think of career lightweights or tag teams that are very marketable but are handcuffed by how unimportant certain companies see their division. It bugs me that career tag teams don't get their accomplishments glorified the way top singels stars do. Ultimately, if the company won't allow us to see that these people matter, why should I care?

I never looked at them as main event jobbers really. But it's certainly some other touch to it. But it just kinda discredits the whole fact that we have Jericho letting mid-carders get the best of him and make them look great.

Oh and Cena vs. Batista at Mania. That was very good.

This. But a lot of people are most likely gonna disagree, because.. It's Batista vs John Cena "THEY CAN'T WRAZZLE"

Just because they are marketable doesn't mean they need to be in the Main Event of a PPV. Give them a 15-20 minute match to showcase their stuff and it works well.

 

[I Suck Ass]

That was an awesome match. Great ending and a great go-away match for Batista.

 

[Ferbian]

a great go-away match for Batista.

He wrestled at two Pay Per Views afterwards.

 

[shattered dreams]

They almost impressed me until towards the end they started to have trouble with a lot of stuff including the finish, which kind of ruined it in my eyes.

Noah, you do know the weekly review is just all my regular reviews thrown together without ratings right?

Because all combat sports pay per views end with heavyweight title matches.

Oh, wait...

what is your favorite WWE produced DVD? To make it more interesting, which is your favorite documentary style DVD, and which is your favorite match collection DVD?

No need to care. Wrestling is about size and power and always has been. These guys are larger than life characters and far more often than not the money is in the big matches, no matches with smaller guys in them.

Documentary: Rise and Fall of ECW.

Match collection: Probably Mick Foley's Greatest Hits and Misses, but the Starrcade and SNME DVDs are awesome to put it mildly.

Read my damn mind. I just re-watched ECW last night (for like the 13256th time). I've been rewtaching the promotion DVDs, and the AWA one is so funny, mainly because Verne Gagne basically does the entire DVD as if the people watching still think wrestling is "real". He's the only one, even Greg Gagne breaks kayfabe.

I haven't watched the Foley DVD in years. Need to watch it again.

New question: How would you try and fix the WWE tag team division?

Oh, wait...

Because the WWE is a true combat sport like the UFC or boxing.

Oh, wait...

 

[trinhnhat]

Yes, this is a completely blatant ripoff of Lariat's thread. I had been considering making one of these as well and Lariat beat me to it, so I'm going to make one anyway because I don't like not being the center of attention here.

I thought so too, as you said it was a contest a player

 

[Vincent Michaels]

#1 What do you think of the Cena/Nexus story so far? How much longer do you think it should go on if at all and what else if anything could be thrown in to make it interesting without being overkill?

#2 Same as #1, just substitute Cena/Nexus for Taker vs Kane/Bearer.

Have actual tag teams rather than just having random pairings of guys becoming champions. Keep the tag titles and big name guys separate. Also, and this may sound stupid, but matching tights/clothing. It doesn't sound like much but it can mean a lot.

I like Cena/Nexus, namely because Cena is a good actor and it almost comes off as brainwashing, which fascinates me.

If Kurt Angle were to Return to the WWE, Who Would His Ideal Opponent Be and Why?

A midcard guy that needs a solid rub. Kofi would be an interesting choice.

1. You mentioned how the hell in a cell is being used badly now. So my question is how would you make hell in a cell better?

2. What is your views on blood is it a good or bad thing and should it still be used today in the WWE?

1. Don't have it because the schedule calls for it. Shawn vs. Taker and Foley vs. Taker happened because they HATED each other and it ended their feuds. Orton vs. SHeamus happened because they were feuding in early October for the Raw World Title. That's not something that belongs in the Cell.

2. It can work but it needs to mean something. Having blood for the sake of having blood is stupid.
