This is for old fans - Does anybody besides me remember a crazy 30 minute esque brawl match between Warrior and Haku on WWF Superstars, back in the late 80s/early 90s? I always have this match in the back of my mind and to my warped memory, I remember it being really loving good and violent, and seemingly non stop. My guess is, now knowing these two guys better, that it was really a stiff semi shoot, but obviously I can't expect to find it on youtube or dailymotion.. am I insane, or did Warrior/Haku once put on such a virtuoso match many years ago?

crankdatbatman posted:All this talk about Foley makes me think: Was Foley what one would consider a "glorified jobber" (at least in WWE)? He became that by the end, yes. When he first debut' though he was built up as a monster heel who loved pain and would fight Undertaker in boiler rooms, and his promos were just psychotic ramblings and him pulling his own hair out. Eventually when he introduced more of his personality, he became a giant jobber. The Rock by himself had two seperate returns where his main reason was to save Mick Foley from getting his rear end kicked - one was against Evolution but the other was against.. La Resistance.

Has any WCW guy gone on the record as saying this is what Undertaker was doing, or is this just a matter of seeing what we want to see? I've never heard anyone accuse Undertaker of sandbagging and unless there's a professional name associated with it on record, it's just as credible as Macho Man banging 14 year old Stephanie

Out of malice or ill-will? I dont want a semantic argument - my question is, are these posts that are implying/accusing Undertaker of some sort of specific malice or cruelty towards WCW, are they based on first-hand accounts that none of us have somehow ever seen before? Because here's a guy that - despite all odds in this industry - has been described as nothing but class from everybody this side Adam - and he is now squashing guys from WCW out of some personal hatred or ill will? Undertaker and Kane always squashed people outside of the main event. That is their basic function, or it was until Kane got fat.

That match was epic - technically pure poo poo, but riveting and captivating. If you're of the opinion that the 'match of the year' goes to the most memorable spectacle then it deserved the award. Otherwise nobody is going to defend it on any other merit. But the scene of Undertaker standing on the top of the cell while it gets raised, and the crowd doing the 'Un Der Tay Ker CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP' while Foley is loaded onto a stretcher. Well it was sort of cool.

Good Listener posted:When was it established that Samoan wrestlers have particularly hard heads? I've always sort of wondered when that started/who started the trend. Possibly Haku in the eighties? I know fat guys with big hair in general have been treated as having hard heads since Andre, but I think I remember a spot during Andre and Heenan's fued where he headbutt Haku and he got the worst of it.

The well had really run dry with that mask anyway. It looks cool and goes with the gimmick, but when every fued becomes about unmasking him, it gets old really fast. I think the way they botched the unmasking was hilarious though - he's got tons of burn victim makeup and frizzy hair, and you just know nobody [especially Glenn] is going to go through that makeup poo poo before EVERY tv and house show.. why didn't they think that through and just have him unmask as normal, rather than phase out the makeup [re: stop doing it two weeks later and never discuss it]. That could have been explained any number of ways -- My preference would have been for Paul Bearer to admit to brainwashing him into THINKING he was scarred.

evale posted:I was commenting on Kane with and without the mask. I remember masked Kane being much more impressive than unmasked Kane. I didn't even see that picture, but watching it life, yeah that was the impression. The makeup represented his disfigurement from the fire.. not some sort of temporary effect caused by wearing a mask, if that's what you're asking.

oldpainless posted:This Kane was the best Kane. He would tilt his head and usually tug on his glove. I was in high school during the Monday Night Wars and everyone (in my group of friends and in the locker room during football) would quote Rock, Austin, and the NAO but everyone agreed that Kane was the one dude you just did not gently caress with. I wont argue this into the ground, because I don't care enough about it.. but, I will suggest that there is a difference between facepaint and damage-paint. Kane's reveal was like a movie special effect. It looks pretty lazy in that picture, but I just remember watching and thinking 'is this what he's going to look like for the rest of his career?'. It's inconcievable to maintain. Sting or Ultimate Warrior's facepaint is allowed to sweat off during a big match.. is Kane's fire-damage-from-childhood operating under the same rules?

joshtothemaxx posted:How was it explained that Taker went from big evil deadman to biker? I had stopped watching by this point. I remember flipping over to some show and seeing Taker on a bike and I thought it was the dumbest poo poo ever at the time. He came back on a bike after nearly a year out during Judgement Day 2000 - The Rock/HHH Iron Man Match. It was a great return - one of the loudest pops of all time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIgMu2lXsas The vignettes building up to the return were old school Undertaker though, with three little girls singing spooky rhymes and arena lights randomly going out. Initially he wore a long black trenchcoat for a few weeks but gradually he transitioned to denim shirt and black jeans. He explained that he did that so the change wouldn't be so jarring.

cletus42o posted:That was because his execution of the sharpshooter was anything but excellent. It never seemed like he truly "stretched" his opponent. I'd compare it to Jericho's Lion Tamer once coming to WWE. Of course Jericho made his more of a Boston Crab (and getting rid of putting his knee in the opponent's back - used to be one of my favorite moves to do to friends cause it really loving hurt) but even then, he didn't seem to lean back far enough. Same with Rock's sharpshooter. With wrestling games I usually stuck with CAWs but there was a particular game that I cant remember that fORCED me to use The Rock, because every time you hit that move Jim Ross would scream 'THE ROCK ROCKS THE BODY THAT ROCKS THE PARTY'. It was loving awesome. DDT THEROCKROCKSTHEBODYTHATROCKSTHE DDT THEROCKROCKSTHEBODYTHA DDT THEROCKROCKSTHE

I don't think the WWE has ever abused bleeding even in the Attitude era. We can all pretty much remember the most horrific Muta scale events off the top of our heads -- Austin/Bret, Undertaker/Lesnar, Mcmahon/Undertaker, Angle/Shane. It's not a HUGE list, maybe 15-20 memorable occurances over the years where the blood is center stage. It's good that they are going to make more effort to avoid it, but I think they've almost always done a good job of saving it for special events [outside of random accidents, IE whenever Flair bursts into blood during an intense promo].

Hogan's always been very nice to his fans and 90 percent of the evil things he does are basically things that any ambitious and successful person does in any walk of life. I personally don't consider him a bad person for exploiting Turners idiocy or keeping down young talent that never amounted to much even when he wasn't around. His kids are moron assholes but that happens a lot.

The man had less than no charisma [negative charisma, he sucked, literally, charisma from anyone watching him - do you know how hard it is to even locate, let alone suck out the charisma from your average wrestling fan? He did it.], and his only gimmick was a lame rear end finisher that Kurt Angle made 1,000 times more dangerous in his first appearance. Ken Shamrock was the drizzling shits. Now that being said, he could easily have had a brief title run. It would have lasted two months at best and had he started it as a face he would have ended it as a heel and Vince would regret it to this day, but it was a possibility.

I thought that situation was pretty out in the open. Which ties into an earlier post about no wellness policy in TNA and me sitting here wondering why WWE seems to be the only national promotion that gets bit so often by wrestlers OD'ing or going on murderous rampages. I'm trying to think if anything like that happened with NWA or WCW, and what the ramifications would be for TNA if it happened to Angle now.

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.
