Sionistic posted:I always preferred the Scott Hall tron David Flair Style Thats definatly one of the better ones. Although not much beats the look of disappointment on Ric in the original. For actual question content. Not sure if it has been adressed before but what was the original reason for Jim Cornette's seemingly rabid hatred of Paul Heyman? Does Heyman ever rage back at Cornette because I can think on him saying much if anything about Cornette in any interviews I've read.

El Duke posted:This. It's just a really good example of epic main event 80's style booking. Warrior also had really good matches against Savage at WM VII and SummerSlam 92, but it was pretty much Savage carrying the entire thing. There's no Warrior match you can watch and say that it was good because of his performance. There's always another reason it was great, and he kind of happened to be there, too. Warrior/Haku.

So I certainly won't be the last and I'm sure I'm not the first to ask this, but is there any story/explanation/logic behind why Cole calls a power slam a scoop slam?

Michael Cole isn't very good at calling moves. Or doing anything other than making GBS threads on bad television, really.

I did consider that possibility, but then I thought surely someone in all of his time broadcasting would have corrected him... I guess not. That crazy DUB-YA EEY!

McMahon is in his ear yelling "say scoop slam, vintage and apex predator again! I want those nerds to get lovely on that twitter thing!" I can actually picture him telling Cole to "douche it up a little".

There was a spot a while ago where the ref was out, and Austin made a pin on someone I can't remember, and he used the unconscious ref's hand to count the pin for himself (and call for the bell afterward). I've only seen this spot that one time. Does anyone remember it happening or know if it happened somewhere else?

I think I've been watching too much wrestling lately. Had a dream Danny Davis was reffing a Cena v. Orton match, and for some reason Davis knocked Cena out and pinned him. vOv No idea why I just posted this but since I just woke up and we're talking about refs...

I don't think this has been asked, but how the hell does Sabu keep getting work? After watching the Botchamania series and numerous other videos of his matches, he seems like one of the absolute worst and most inconsistent performers around.

If you were even a reasonably big name in the mid-late 90s in either WWE, WCW or ECW you could probably get work forever in the indies on your name alone.

Mikey Whipwreck was on F4W Daily about a month or two ago, and he said that Sabu would often botch on purpose. Sabu's reasoning was that if the matches were real, the moves would be botched sometimes. I don't know if that's really true, or if that was just Sabu's way of saving face.

He's Sabu. Also I always enjoyed the (occasional) botch in a Sabu match because the character struck me as a guy who just went all out, balls to the wall and it made sense that the crazy poo poo this insane little dude was pulling out would occasionally backfire on him.

If I want comedy I prefer it to be intentional, like Danshoku Dino molesting people. Which means,yes, I derive more enjoyment from Dino putting a man's head in his thong and piledriving him than from Sabu acting like a yardtard.

People found it hilarious at how simple and silly the video was, especially the shot of Ric who just seemed so... disappointed. Yeah, I seem to remember a particular board taking claim to the David Flair videos but I can't remember the name at all. Then I made a Shane McMahon one after he took down Legacy all by himself on a episode of Raw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBqQLhYNE_U

In addition to those, HHH/Foley from No Way Out 2000 is really great. The six man from Armageddon 2000 is also really good, and something different for the format. Lesnar/Taker from No Mercy 2002 is pretty brutal. And Edge v. Taker at SummerSlam 08 is the last one that I'd go out of my way to see. Some others, like DX v. Legacy, are pretty good, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to see them.

Lex Luger's Wikipedia article posted:After Luger won the WCW Title, he got over as champion and top heel, participating in a controversial racial angle with Ron Simmons where he asked Simmons to join his entourage, but as a chauffeur. It was also around this time he abandoned the Torture Rack and started using the piledriver, which he dubbed the "Attitude Adjustment", as his finisher. Wonder if Cena knows about this.

The botching on purpose thing makes total sense to me, because it fits with his ideas about what a good match is.
