[Official] X Marks the Spot: Xfearbefore Xclusive Thread

[X]

Went a bit nuts in TNA. That was fun.

I saw that. Why do you keep citing 1.2 as if that's the biggest bump they got in the ratings? They reached a 1.9 on 1/4 KB.

 

[X]

Oh shit, there's a PPV tonight isn't there? Jolly good. Joe-Styles should be awesome, can't wait for that. Just seeing these matches in a four sided ring makes them fresh again.

This is true aside from the almost inevitable clusterfuck finish

It's not really analysis or in-depth, just simple star ratings. So you can know how my sexy inner brain works.

I'll be updating it daily. You may be surprised to find that for all the bitching I do about the WWE, they already have five matches in 2010 I have rated ***+

Punk vs. Rey
Punk vs. A Mop
Punk vs. The T Shirt Vendor
Punk vs. A heeseburger
Orton vs. A bottle of baby oil

 

[klunderbunker]

For an hour X. They got a 1.5 for the night. If a single part of the show is what we're going on, This is Your Life Rock will never be topped.

For an hour X. They got a 1.5 for the night. If a single part of the show is what we're going on, This is Your Life Rock will never be topped.

That doesn't change the fact that they peaked at a 1.9.

And surely you can't think it's fair to compare something from the boiling centerpoint of the Attitude Era to a decade later when wrestling isn't even 1/10th as popular as it was then?

Punk vs. Rey
Punk vs. A Mop
Punk vs. The T Shirt Vendor
Punk vs. A heeseburger
Orton vs. A bottle of baby oil

Well, you got ONE of them right!

No, this is what I've got for the WWE in 2010 so far:

2010
1/4/10 Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston - ***
1/14/10 Christian vs. William Regal - ***
1/31/10 Royal Rumble Match - ****
2/4/10 Evan Bourne vs. Carlito - ***1/4
2/12/10 CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio - ***1/2

Compared to TNA in 2010 so far...

2010
1/4/10 Awesome Kong/Hamada vs. Taylor Wilde/Sarita - ***
1/4/10 AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle - ****
1/14/10 Motor City Machine Guns vs. Generation Me - ***
1/17/10 Amazing Red vs. Brian Kendrick - ***1/4
1/17/10 AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle - ****1/4

They're both pretty even, 5 matches each so far, but TNA has been better.

 

[klunderbunker]

I was using it as an example.

And the show didn't get a 1.9. That hour did. The TIYLR show didn't get an epic rating. That segment did. You can't go by one part of it. Just the final rating.

 

[X]

...So again KB, like I just said twice, they PEAKED at a 1.9.

 

[FromTheSouth]

Shishkaberry is good bud.

I'm digging that blog, X. I agree with most of the ratings of the matches I've seen (though I find HBK vs. Razor one of the most overrated matches of all time, personally).

I need to watch some of the matches between Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Genichiro Tenryu, man. I've seen Ric Flair wrestle both of them, and those matches were absolutely phenomenal. Don't know why I never checked out more of their work.

 

[X]

Oh yeah man you need to find their classic encounter from June of 1989. One of my all time favorite matches.

http://www.megavideo.com/?d=WLNQLQXC

There you are fine sir. From 6/6/89.

Razor-HBK I was leaning towards just leaving it at ****3/4, but then I got swept up in the hype again and decided to go ahead and give it the five star treatment just because for it's time it was something that just had never been seen before. Honestly I prefer their rematch at Summerslam 95, but in terms of importance I felt it was right to give it the five star treatment.

Keep in mind this is only the wrestling I've watched in the last few months, so I obviously have a fucking BOATLOAD more to watch before my WWE list starts even resembling semi-complete.

 

[X]

Up next: Dragon Gate: Dead or Alive 2008. Naruki Doi vs. KENTA...I'm getting a boner just thinking about it.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yes, for that hour. Which is why I don't say the highest rating for Raw ever is whatever that segment got. TNA's record is 1.5.

 

[Kanye South]

What in bloody hell is a TNA? Is that a sick new porn site or something?

 

[X]

Yes. Total Nonstop Anal. Starring Joey Ryan and Chevy Chase.

 

[Kanye South]

Sounds complicated

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm a pacifist. JKO is making me question that.

 

[Remix]

X based off your match ratings, do you think WWE or TNA is producing more high quality matches so far this year? I'd say WWE, because although TNA's produced the same number of ***+ matches, a lot of them occurred on the same show, whereas WWE is producing them on different nights; so WWE win it on consistency.

 

[X]

I'd say TNA so far in 2010, because although both TNA and WWE have the same amount of rated matches, the average rating for the TNA matches are higher. For example Kurt Angle and AJ Styles had two matches I had rated at **** and above, whereas the only **** match I've rated in the WWE in 2010 so far was the Rumble match.

I've been loving what I've been seeing on Superstars the last few weeks from the WWE though, first a very good Christian-Regal match and than last Thursday Carlito and Evan Bourne had a match that was WAY too good to be on freakin' Superstars.

I'm FINALLY going to watch the 3rd Dragon Gate USA PPV tonight so I'll have the ratings for that show up tonight likely. Haven't seen anything out of ROH so far this year.

 

[klunderbunker]

Preview of the next review, simply because I need help processing what I just saw.

Sullivan wins with the running knee in the corner and the stomp. The Master, the guy that he would find in a cave (in Parts Unknown apparently) comes on the screen and tells Sullivan to come find him so they can destroy Hogan.

Ok, hang on a second. This guy is covered in dust. He’s in a CAVE. HOW IN THE HELL DOES HE KNOW WHAT HOGAN IS DOING??? Third, HOW DO YOU GET ELECTRICAL CORDS TO RUN A CAMERA INSIDE A FREAKING CAVE??? This is 1995, not 2010. It’s not like you can do a remote signal without electricity. Even with that, you need power for the lighting. Also, there is someone there filming. Either that or he went to Best Buy and got a tripod. Also, HE’S IN A DAMN CAVE WITH DUST ALL OVER HIM AND WANTS TO DESTROY HOGAN. WHAT IS HOGAN DOING TO HIM IN THERE??? I mean think about it. HE LIVES IN A FUCKING CAVE!!! How is Hogan being world champion in WCW hurting this guy? THIS MAKES NO SENSE! Are the bats wearing bandanas and singing I Want To Be A Hulkamaniac?"

What the fuck is in that weed X is smoking? Or is KB that irresistible?

 

[klunderbunker]

Have you seen me?

 

[X]

Have you SEEN his ass? Dude, I cut mountains down with the edge of my motherfucking HAND.

No, I'm just very intoxicated on some psychoactive substances and fucking PUMPED UP that Styles and Joe are about to wrestle and there's still a damn hour left on this PPV.
