I loved the first elimination chamber, I thought the final three of Jericho/HBK/HHH was excellent and I actually convinced myself that Jericho was going to somehow pull the rug out from under the other two and win the belt. I was so happy when HBK won

Which one was the one where it took a Codebreaker, Sweet Chin Music, Pedigree, and Swanton to put Umaga down after he samoan dropped two people at once? That one.

I really loving loved the New Year's Revolution one that was built around Big Dave. But the best Chamber moment is Edge cashing in the first MITB.

Hockles posted:Yes. It's one of the few WWE DVDs I own, mostly because I really enjoy reliving that moment. I get chills each time Edge's music hits, when he enters, and when he wins. It's really one of the best angles they've done in the last decade. The match itself, such as it is, was even worked really smartly. Cena kicks out of the first spear, everyone is preparing themselves for Cena to OVERCOME THE ODDS again, then Edge just casually spears him again and pins him clean. It's also one of the most successful, they turned Edge into an instant superstar and ratings draw in one night after he'd spent years as a stale midcarder. eta: Part of what helped so much was that Cena and Batista were both on ten month title reigns at the time. When you change the titles so infrequently and make it a really big deal when a title does change, the title switch actually means something. So of course WWE did the opposite and started flipping the titles all the time shortly after this. oldfan fucked around with this message at 09:28 on Feb 6, 2010 |

I agree Edge became a top star and cemented his role in the main event with that cash-in, but he's been making very well received pushes towards main event spots for years before then (normally as a face, and VERY over) but kept getting injured at the worst possible times and losing all his momentum.

Modern WWE almost never gives guys that last shove to main event status who have been floating around in the upper-midcard for a long period. Occasionally someone like Booker T or Mysterio will float up to the main events for awhile, but they're not viewed by the company as real top guys and as soon as they drop out of title feuds they're back to an upper-midcard spot. It's rare that a guy becomes an official Vince-approved Top Guy, where he's always in the main event, after being established as less than that for years beforehand. Edge is one of the rare exceptions to that. When I said Edge was stale, it's more a knock on the booking than Edge himself. He'd been stuck at the same upper-midcard level with mostly the same opponents for five years. They probably should have went with him years earlier, and might have if he hadn't had his neck fused in 2003, but most guys in that position they never go with.

What was truly amazing about the first Edge reign is that people reacted to him, he was a fresh face in the title scene, and he actually popped the ratings... ...and they stayed with their HHH-Cena plan, having HHH win some laughable #1 contender's tournament  Also the perfect time for Edge was around 2003 or so. He went from comedy tag guy, to solid midcard dude, to slowly becoming a fringe main eventer during the Smackdown 6 era, but the injury really derailed him. Plus his face run in 2004 was a mini-disaster. The guy just never adapted to it and it was a huge flop.

The worst part about his ic title reign was when he retained at summerslam in toronto and got booed (even though he's a canadian/face). After he won the tag titles with christian then said he's already won them enough times and starts freaking out about the world title I was lollin though

You know, I've been wondering what happened to dragging your opponent into position if you have a top rope finisher? The opponent gets knocked down like halfway across the ring and has to squirm into position now (well, for awhile anyway). It just looks really dumb and takes me right out of the match.

With Billy Kidman and Brock Lesnar loving them up to nearly disastrous results they decided to cut their losses and just not let anyone (except Paul London, I think) do it. Bourne's is so clean that they decided to let it slide.

Timby posted:Someone will eventually answer, painfully, for the decision of making Shane and King the commentators for Attitude. I think the "decision" was made by J.R's Bell's Palsy. And like the commenery was the worst thing about that game, I can't believe that's what got me watching wrestling. And then WM2000 took all the hurt away... And then I played ECW Hardcore Revolution anyway... Anyhow, are there any openly, actually gay wrestlers active out there? I know there's Kanyon and I think Gerald Brisco (I know one of the stooges, and when I have to guess I'm going to default to the guy called "Gerald") Got thinking about that when WeasleWeaz linked this, and someone posted about all the homophobic humour in WWE in particular. I really think if they are going PG they should try to set up positive role models about this sort of thing. BizarroAzrael fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Feb 7, 2010 |

With that said, I'm wondering if it's just an especially unsafe move to take head on, and the light grazing is intentional. I think the whiff is on purpose, do you see how hard his knees come down every time? It looks like it could legit hurt.

I thought he said at some point that it was a publicity stunt and I get the impression he goes back and forth on it. And there's Men's Teioh who's legit gay.

It's the only way to break the game into a win after you've had the poo poo beaten out of you by the Undertaker in three moves. It didn't help he was facing Gangrel, who for some reason was incredibly strong in that game. Question: Who was the black guy in the FBI?
