Underrated casual burial this week, courtesy of filthy four, when discussing awful styles clash matches in WWE. Tom suggests Randy Orton Vs. Titus O'Neil, Bryan says: "Randy'd get a great match out of him. It would bore people, but it would be great"

Bryan: So who's Cena's mania opponent? Dave: I'll tell you tomorrow because I actually have been told -- and it's not like I don't believe it because I know it's probably true -- but I can't believe it put it that way. It's so underwhelming it's ridiculous. Bryan: Sounds like either Corbin or Elias Dave: .....Ok......It's not Corbin

Like, having someone be a geek and then beat Cena and go back to being a geek doesn't make them a big star, it makes Cena less of one.

Dave's day according to the latest WOR: OctoberCountry posted:Dave: it's not like I don't believe it because I know it's probably true -- but I can't believe it put it that way. It's so underwhelming it's ridiculous. Reminds me of the lead-in to the Angle/Corbin Mania match where Dave and Bryan kept saying that they kept being told it was just going to straight up be Angle vs. Corbin and nobody was telling them anything different, but as they said this you could tell they couldn't quite bring themselves to believe it in spite of all that. You know, because it was such a giant loving waste.

I remember reading the GDT and right down to the minute entrances seemed to be happening there were posters not believing that was the plan, and it's like  "how much benefit of the doubt are you still willing to give this company, because it really shouldn't be any. at all"

If I do a limited show fact checking the Ruthless Aggression docuseries called Ruthless Transgressions pr Ruthless Corrections or something (although I want to be able to turn it into a general WWE fact check show if it does well), who should be the Jordan to my Dan?

MRT is my fav wrestling historian on this board, so much knowledge and a lot of it is the stuff that isn’t part of “accepted wrestling history” even amongst know-it-all types For instance I had no idea that WCW was already turning around after the Macho-Flair feud did great house show business even before the NWO formed until I listened to The Monumental Podcast e: also “Ruthless Transgressions” is a great name, “Ruthless Corrections” sounds like a WiP movie

Listening to an old B&V&C and Bryan tells a great story. Kanyon called him and said he had a bet going for like $100. Is Fritz Von Erich dead or alive? Bryan says I hope you win, Fritz is dead. Kanyon pauses then Bryan hears "I TOLD YOU HE WAS ALIVE". Then the phone disconnects.

Bryan says I hope you win, Fritz is dead. Kanyon pauses then Bryan hears "I TOLD YOU HE WAS ALIVE". Then the phone disconnects. I listened to that just the other day. It's great. Bryan had a really interesting rant in one of the Retro shows I just listened to. It also tied in with this interview with Melina I just found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-AaGQpHbfg In the retro show, Bryan going on one of his most memorable rants to me. It was...I forget the exact teams but Ivory and Jacqueline were on different teams and also The Kat and Terri Runnels were there. Bryan talks about how Jackie and Ivory are as good as most of the female wrestlers today in WWE. Maybe not up to par with the absolute best but better than many. He pointed out how, in their own way, The Kat and Terri were better at their roles than a lot of the ladies on WWE today. Kat and Terri were not wrestlers, they were sexy women paid to catfight and strip each other naked. They did that well. He criticized how the WWE wants all its women to wrestle now but many of them...can't. They are bad at wrestling while at least Kat and Terri were good at being sexy. Melina in the interview talks about how "Divas" get a bad rep and I think that's fair. Thank God gravy bowl matches are a thing of the past but not every woman has to be a great worker. And even in the diva days, people like Jazz and - I'm glad Melina referenced here because she was always my favorite - Victoria were awesome and the modern history of "WWE only got good female wrestlers in the last five years" is insulting. Good female wrestlers were always there, even in the Attitude Era towards the end. Also I can't say I ever watched any of her matches but Nikki Bella was around a few years ago and she had one talent. She was good at it - being sexy is a talent. But things haven't changed that much it seems. They're just trying to make the women there to be sexy be workers on par with Charlotte or something. I guess you just gotta try and find a happy medium between sex appeal and working good. NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 09:50 on Feb 17, 2020 |

MassRafTer posted:Nikki Bella was a better wrestler than Melina. Fair enough. As I said, never watched anything with her, just going off what I read online. Plus I'm just not a great judge of how good a wrestler is, anyway. I just liked Melina and Victoria most from back when I really followed wrestling in the mid-2000s. Lita is the one who gets a lot of poo poo from people online it seems. Everybody remembers her because she was with the Hardy's and could do stuff in the ring unlike a lot of the other notable WWE women of the time. Except I guess a lot of what she could do was incredibly sloppy. I haven't gone back and watched a Lita match to try and judge her from my older perspective.

Jacqueline is super underrated. She had a ton of physical charisma and always came off as a serious, dangerous threat in the ring. that's the big problem with how WWE treats their women, they don't come across as serious fighters, they come across as people dressed like wrestlers for Halloween. Same for the men, but I think it's more noticeable with the women because a lot more of them started from scratch in the Performance Center or with little experience, and the PC is completely incapable of training anyone so they don't act like bland smiley robots

After listening to WOR and Dave and Bryan putting over Carmella vs. Bailey, I went and watched the match. I thought Bailey played a great aggressive heel in the match. Bailey has been my favorite lady wrestler in WWE as I drift in and out over the last couple years. Loved her as a face and she seems to be just as good as a heel.

Jackie was a solid southern style wrestler/valet but I don't know how she holds up to today's era of women's wrestlers. The fact of the matter is women's wrestling today IS better than it was 20 or 30 years ago. There's been an evolution of it thanks to stuff like SHIMMER and even the bigger stars of the Diva ear like Trish, Lita, Victoria, Gail Kim, etc and we're in like the next generation of women who grew up watching that and had more opportunities and motivation. But that doesn't mean WWE doesn't still promote women with a couple of years of Performance Center experience over women with a decade of travel and real experience because they have the right look.

I thought the main event was great, and i'm not a fan of either Ciampa or Cole at all. My only disappointment was how weak the belt shot that ended the match was, it barely touched him and made it look silly after everyone had been kicking out of moves that would have put the Fiend away.
