    The Shoot Interview Thread

    For the most part Memphis is just low-rent and so deeply southern-fried that it could only be tolerated in small doses. It was racial. Outside of Lawler the wrestling wasnt great. They had some of the stupidest, lamest gimmicks ever conceived and they had this horrible penchant for siphoning all the talent out of their heels so that they were all cookie-cutter bastard types that had to rely on cheating to win. The glass ceiling was built into their infrastructure. Memphis was either for washouts and local rednecks or for guys who were up and coming and would leave before they arrived because the conditions were so bad. Its sad to hear over and over that guys were just starving there. Yeah, but a lot of guys learned how to work, and personally I think Southern style rocks my socks. I guess it depends on your taste. What types of wrestling do you like?

    Hey Mos Def, why are you not so partial to Old School Memphis? Just wondering, as that is considered one of the greatest periods/eras in wrestling history.

    workers who get called great but you disagree

    Yeah, I'd agree. His character work in the later days was spectacular; it's a shame that the crash neutered his in ring ability. A Brian Pillman with the workrate of '92-'95 with his 1997 character would have drawn huge in a feud with Austin. I'd even go so far as to say that the "Loose Cannon" character is the most convincing wrestling psychopath character of all time. Hes got to be up there for sure. But I would put Bob Backlund above him.

    Let's Talk About...

    From a match standpoint, it was not that good. From a perspective of building heat, it was. I think he should have dropped the IC title. A Dibiase heel run could been awesome. Plus a Steamboat run could have been great with Dibiase on top.

    Thank you for the analysis. But in your opinion Thread Killer, I heard Mike Awesome say in a shoot interview with Highspots, that Kobashi was the better worker, when Mike was with AJPW( I think around 97) Would you agree with that statement?

    Well I have a question for you. Why was Misawa given the ball over everyone else? In other words, why was he the top dog?

    Ok. Here is my reason. Is he talented and good? Yes? But theres nothing that draws ME to him. I think Kawada and Kobashi put more effort in their matches. Now have I watched a lot of his stuff? No, and actually I dug his Tiger Mask days. Now can I argue with sucess? No. He did have great matches. But great matches do not make you great. He is capable of a great match. Now with the Observer and the Gordy system..... honestly, its just a magazine. A magazine shouldnt influence your opinion. You should take it into consideration, but to me, its just a magazine. But to be honest. Im not that into Japanese wrestling anyway, but eh. I think at one point he was very good, but I do not consider him great. I would also disagree on your stance on Misawa/Kobashi to the best fued of all time. Now maybe I shouldn't have overeacted, but this is my honest opinion on the former Tiger Mask 2.

    For ME. HE IS NOT GREAT. HE IS TALENTED BUT I AM NOT INTO HIM. Jeez, learn some manners and respect others opinion.
  11. OH I forgot. Flair's IC title run was an abomination. Never should have beaten Carlito at Unforgiven 05.

    Danielson, in the ring is awesome, but he lacks a look and personality. Bret, I like but sometimes he has no facials. Flair was great, but was no technician. I guess my pick is.............. Misawa

    Scott Hall arrested

    It might be in bad taste(the Owen joke). But if Bret was there..........
