Man that whole match was awesome. Every move they did had snap and kick to it. Those guys got so much out of an 8 minute TV undercard match.

Lone Rogue posted:Michael Cole =/= Eric Bischoff Bishoff always seemed like he was doing a lame Vince impression in the way he would hype things. It's still funny to me (I've seen this match hundreds of times, it was one that I would show people who thought wrestling was lame to convince them otherwise) when Bishoff just randomly breaks out "And we are coming to you LIVE!" Also, I know he's the black belt, not me, but gently caress "back leg round kick." loving rear end in a top hat.

So a question popped up today between my brother and I, and I figured I would ask the board. Being not up on my puroresu, I have to ask what the current situation is involving crazy match types. Back in the day I remember exploding barb wire fire etc type matches but are those still prevalent? Or are they more at home in the Japanese equivalent of CZW type promotions?

LividLiquid posted:I really hate to do this considering how TNA has gone since he arrived and taking in the fact that he's a birther douchebag and has nothing left to offer wrestling, evidently, but the Vince McMahon character we saw throughout late 1997/1998/1999 and up through today took a LOT of cues from Bischoff's heel character. If anything, Vince was doing an impression of Bischoff. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure even the familiar "rear end in a top hat" chants Vince cultivated were aimed at Bischoff first. The heel promoter character didn't enter mainstream wrestling with the WWF. WCW was doing it long before the Montreal Screwjob when Vince Russo had one of his only good ideas and decided to make it public that McMahon was actually in charge. Bischoff was outed as the President of WCW some time before McMahon was outed as the owner of Titan Sports. Vince McMahon was being Mr. McMahon in Memphis long before Eric Bischoff was a character on TV.

Plus, Bischoff and McMahon were wildly different characters. Saying Vince stole the character from Bischoff is like saying Austin stole his gimmick from Sandman.

These batshit insane matches came mainly out of two organizations, FMW and IWA, both of which are now defunct. I don't follow puro but I think they've gravitated more toward the CZW type of deathmatch, which is a shame. I used to love me some FMW back in the day because they were so loving insane. Cactus Jack smashing W*ING Kanemura with a car window? Yes please.

Has anyone ever cried in a storyline? I don't mean the fake stuff the divas have done, but a guy wrestler. Like the face just keeps getting beat down and broken by the heel that he just breaks down in the locker room, but comes back to completely wreck the heel in the blow off match or something?

Vince and Eric were different characters. Maybe not at the most basic level (evil authority) but their personalities were different and so was their interactions with wrestlers they liked and wrestlers they hated.

That sounds amazing. Babyface X and Heel Y are in a blood feud. One week, Heel Y totally punks Babyface X out. The next week, the only time we see him is a short vignette of him crying in the locker room. Then he makes his comeback. It would be so surreal.

Vince was aware that Mr. McMahon should never ultimately win a feud. Bischoff was part of the nWo, which is still beating people down for 48 minutes and spraypainting them somewhere in the universe.

That episode ruled. I remember like half an hour of nWo guys standing around staring at the entrance trying to direct a guy putting a nWo logo over the WCW one. Just like the DPW guys in your hometown during a water main break.

LividLiquid posted:I forgot all about that. It really was the prototype for the later Vince character, wasn't it? The back issues of the Observer are actually right at this period. I don't think the most recent one had anything though. But the issues from right before that have. There has been some really interesting stuff, like how the Vince promos were cut out of the syndicated version of Memphis TV that went out to other cities. So cities outside of Memphis had no clue Vince was heeling it up on Lawler.

I'm pretty sure Vince yelled at Foley until he cried once. Then Foley beat up Terry Funk and Vince loved him again.

Why didn't Owen leave with Bret after Montreal? Was there any animosity from Bret towards Owen because of this? I'm guessing it was money but I'd think WCW would have thrown enough money his way for him to leave especially during that time. Bulldog and Neidhart had no problem following Bret out it seemed. Was he just that loyal and great of a guy to wrestle out the remainder of his contract? Sadly we'll never know how things would've played out but him staying with WWE for a year and a half after the screw job just got me thinking and raised some questions. I haven't gotten around to reading Bret's book but surely some of this must be addressed in there I'd think. Thanks!

To be fair Vince was already in control, the nWo was a rebel faction much like Nexus today. If the nWo took over it would make the WCW babyfaces the underdogs and thus make their fight more noble.

I was saying that the Raw before Wrestlemania wasting 30 - 40 minutes on just showing Nexus taking down the Raw's set. Then waste another 20 minutes with having a gift giving ceremony and it involves getting a Hogan head and Sting riding on a zip line. This is what WCW did on the Raw before Starcade.
