Physically, did you see a lot of potential in Kenny Dykstra (Ken Doane)?

Never really got the appeal of him, no.

 

[Барбоса]

That he's another irritating person that thinks that by capitalizing his entire name it makes him different somehow.

"His" Double Title match with Kota Ibushi is great to watch. They talk about Flair or Angle being able to put on a good match with a broom but Ibushi does a pretty damn good job of it.

 

[klunderbunker]

Not a fan of Puro for the most part. never could get into it although I've watched some here and there.

 

[Барбоса]

Are you looking past the fact that "he" is a doll?

Damn.... Remind me not to piss off Cornett.

Yep.

Thoughts on:

Kane in 2002

Kane's monster heel run in 2003

When Kane set JR on fire

Kane's fued with Shane McMahon (sorry, I'm a huge Kane mark)

RAW 2004

Who do you think is RAW GM?

What do you think is the best year of RAW since the beginning of the century?

Best match this year, worst match this year, most overrated match this year, most underrated match this year?

Thoughts on:

Kane in 2002

I'm reviewing No Mercy 2002 at the moment actually. He was good but no one was getting the title off HHH that year so it was all for naught.

Kane's monster heel run in 2003

It would have been much better if he wasn't just beating up Shane the whole time.

When Kane set JR on fire

Nothing gets you over as a heel faster than being a bully. He just happened to use fire. It worked.

Kane's fued with Shane McMahon (sorry, I'm a huge Kane mark)

Went on WAY too long.

RAW 2004

Far too much of HHH overshaddowing everyone, namely Benoit who he crippled the push of.

Who do you think is RAW GM?

HHH

What do you think is the best year of RAW since the beginning of the century?

98 was awesome from a drama standpoint. This one has been fun as well.

Best match this year, worst match this year, most overrated match this year, most underrated match this year?

Best - Angle vs. Anderson at Lockdown

Worst - Nothing stands out really. Probably a Divas match somewhere.

Overrated - Nothing stands out again. I didn't really think the BFG Main Event was a classic like everyone said it was.

Underrated - Sheamus vs. Morrison - Falls count anywhere. Damn fun match.

True. HHH dominated that era looking back. It's really where everything negative comes from about him, I would think.

It would have been much better if he wasn't just beating up Shane the whole time.

I thought it was a great time for him. I enjoyed his work, he was the ultimate moster at that point.

Went on WAY too long.

I enjoyed it. You can argue it went on too long, but moments like the tractor trailer and the Linda tombstone were cool. Some moments were just unrealistic, but I enjoyed it. The matches were fun, they were just brawls, but I found them to be fun brawls.

Far too much of HHH overshaddowing everyone, namely Benoit who he crippled the push of.

It was ny first full year of watching and I feel that that 2004 was the best except for parts of 05-06 and this past year. maybe it's nostalgia talking, but I have a soft spot for it.

HHH

That would be my top guess. Could turn into some interesting stories.

98 was awesome from a drama standpoint. This one has been fun as well.

This century=January 1, 2000-present. Not 98.

Best - Angle vs. Anderson at Lockdown

Haven't seen it. Haven't enjoyed TNA this year. At all.

Worst - Nothing stands out really. Probably a Divas match somewhere.

What about mainstream matches?

Overrated - Nothing stands out again. I didn't really think the BFG Main Event was a classic like everyone said it was.

RAW MITB wasn't as great as I was hoping, neither was Sheamus/HHH at Mania.

Underrated - Sheamus vs. Morrison - Falls count anywhere. Damn fun match

Arguable choice. I could also argue Jericho and Bryan NXT Episode 1, Morrison, Miz, Bryan at HIAC, and you'll laugh at me for this, but Barreta/Hawkins on Superstars Thursday. Baretta/Hawkins was a well worked match, I was into that stuff.

Also, thoughts on some of the undercarders? Mainly Zack Ryder, but all of the WWE ones in general. Any that stand out to you, you think could have an above average future?

Also, thoughts on Del Rio and McIntyre?

 

[klunderbunker]

Missed the century part. This year I suppose.

Divas matches are mainstream matches.

Sheamus/HHH at Mania was ok. MITB matches are either great or ok. Hard to predict and therefore set a standard for.

Ryder I do not get at all. I have no idea what the appeal of him is.

Del Rio is solid and it's nice to see someone get a big push when they debut. McIntyre looks good in white tights.

It was a good year.

Sheamus/HHH at Mania was ok. MITB matches are either great or ok. Hard to predict and therefore set a standard for.

The thing about MITB was I was expecting it to be the greatest ever with the build and competitors. And it was just an average MITB match.

Ryder I do not get at all. I have no idea what the appeal of him is.

Del Rio is solid and it's nice to see someone get a big push when they debut. McIntyre looks good in white tights.

You and me are opposites here. I enjoy Ryder and don't get Del Rio. McIntyre, I'm indifferent too.

Any other undercard guys that stick out or appeal to you?

 

[klunderbunker]

Too many people in the MITB match. There needs to be like 4 in those things.

Not really. Cody is great of course.

Cody is amazing. No doubt.

I know that wweclassics is now starting to add wwf superstars from early 90's, just waiting for them to add prime time wrestling before I subscribe.

Do you know anywhere online where it is possible to watch or download wwf superstars or prime time wrestling from 91 onwards?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'd assume you could find just about anything online if you look hard enough.

Is Vader the greatest super-heavyweight? Or does that go to Andre?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah I'd still go with Andre. He was a different kind of superheavyweight than Vader so it's a bit different kind of a comparison.

 

[CH David]

I can see that. But seeing Andre come off the second rope when he could move was something of awesome. No?

Also, Vader vs. Jack at Halloween Havoc was just as I expected. Great brawl.

 

[I Suck Ass]

One thing that makes me appreciate Andre is the pain he went through in each match because of his back.

Also, what do you think of Juan Cena?

In the early 80s he'd come off the top. It was nuts.

I think it's hilarious. It's like something out of a bad sitcom but they're actually going through with it.

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

Do you think Hogan, Bischoff, Dixie Carter etc. know they have a shit product now and have in fact made it worse but would never admit it to anyone?

 

[klunderbunker]

I wonder that constantly. I don't think Carter realizes it but the other two I'm not sure on. Their egos would seem to know no such bounds that they would think that whenever they're the focus of the show as they are now it's all great. The thing is, I htink even this might be a stretch for them.

What do you think of The Miz as a wrestler and WWE Champion?
