Harts Busters

Yah so picutre Vince had the option of working extra to keep any wrestler who left the WWF. Who do you think would have benefitted most to the WWF, and himself, by staying? BTW Bret Hart does NOT count. Anyways my number one pick is: Rick Rude: When he left Rude was extremely over, hitting his prime as a grea worker and very over. He could've had Slaughter's title run and been over without having to be a turn coat. HE ended doing very well in WCW and could've done great things for the WWF. Others who I would've worked extra hard to keep are Jeff Jarrett(the second time in 1999) and Randy Savage(in 1994).

Am I the only one who wnats Sean Connery to play a bond Villain.

Now THAT'S a company man. But yah considering how Savage could still go up to maybe 98/99 whenver WWE needed big names(ie. 1996 when Hall & Nash left) they could've gotten Savage out of the announce poisiton and have him give the rub to people. I never reall got why they didn't kee[ him.

April 26, 1999 Konnan def. Brian Adams by DQ The Armstrongs def. Raven in a handicap match Sting def. Diamond Dallas Page to win the WCW World Heavyweight Title Rey Mysterio Jr. def. Psychosis to win the Cruiserweight Title Bam Bam Bigelow def. Erik Watts Booker T def. Meng; TV Title Match Brian Knobbs def. Hak, Horace, and Mikey Whipwreck (pinned) in a 4-way hardcore match Scott Steiner def. Randy Savage by DQ; US Title Match Diamond Dallas Page def. Sting, Goldberg, and Kevin Nash (pinned) in a 4-way match to win the WCW World Heavyweight Title That Nitro MAJORLY pissed me off. Sting wins the title in a ***3/4 match and the crowd goes ape-shit. Yet they have him job it an hour later. It's a miracle he stayed popular all those years.

Steiners Harts Demolition Brainbusters

I fully agree on Savage. I was gonna mention him especially since he went form the WWF champion to not the card of a Wrestlemania in a matter of months. Plus he never had a problem with jobbing and oculd've put over new heels.

Dammit. I'm a huge Leafs fan but the way they're playing they deserve to lose. SENS are still in. And they're gonna eliminated Philly.

If you ask HHH: "Uhhh Dad I mean Vince, me, Shawn and Kev drew the rating. People...uhhh...tuned in for rock/Goldberg cause they couldn't wiat to see us"

Austin: Pillman keep praying and give your soul to the lord cause your ass belongs to Stone Cold Steve Austin!

Superbrawl III: Jesse: tell me Tony, how ocme the fans boo everytime Eric Watts is tagged in? Tony: Uhhhh...they're not booing they're saying "boom". Jericho: Steiner has freaks? I can beat peaks, freaks, Iron Shieks...(something like that) Jesse: Are we near the Smoky Mountains? Tony: Yes. Jesse: Mountains shouldv be covered by snow not rednecks. Tony: Hey I used to live here. Jesse: My point exactly

Clash 23 is pretty much a one match show but it's got some decent stuff on the undercard. I am curretnyl leaning towards it since I have not seen the whole show reviewed anywhere.

Yah my first got a great response so I might as well try another one while I await word from the guy form SmartTalk... Anyways these are three shows I have watched recently and all are good-great. Clash of the Champions 23 - ME: Ric Flair & Arn Anderson vs Hollywood Blondes 2/3 Falls Superbrawl III - ME: Sting vs Vader Strap match Starrcade 1995 - ME: Randy Savage vs Flair/Luger/Sting and WCW vs NJPW

I wanna see Superbrawl cause well I've got a chance to get it and I need to know just how bad it is. I tries SK's but he spends too much itme bitchign about Hogan.

1. Vanilla Ice 2. Master P 3. Any of the Braveharts aside from Nas 4. Bizaarr from D12 5. Snow if he counts

1. Nas 2. Xzibit 3. NWA 4. Eminem 5. Scarface

Funniest. Thread. Ever

April 21, 1997 The Sultan def. Ahmed Johnson by DQ Bret Hart NC Steve Austin in a Street Fight Tiger Ali Singh def. Salvatore Sincere Rockabilly def. Jesse James The Undertaker def. Hunter Hearst Helmsley by DQ BEST. RAW. EVER

Itv can't be based on moeny or sales since Public enemy wouldn't be number 2.

Props for effort but honestly is there ANY chance Benoit won't win?

Without a Trace

Yah this is a try out review for SmartTalk and I asked ot post it here so yah. Anyways i'm not ogingp lay by play or match by match cause it's been done. Instead i'm doing good vs bad analysis(there's no ugly since this isn't an Eastwood movie). You'll see what I mean. IYH 16: Canadian Stampede Calgary, Alberta, Canada Preface: This is one of the most forgotten PPV's in WWF history. Few have seen it and even less remember it. It seemed ike a throwaway show at the time, just to build up Summerslam. This is one of the few times in PPV history where the show seemed like it was only done for the live crowd instead of the buyrate. What the WWF and people at home didn't expect was that it would end up being one of the best PPV's ever done. Mankind vs Triple H w/ Chyna Story: Flashback one month to King of the Ring. Mankind and Triple H fought in an all-heel KOTR final and had an average match. The only notable point being that HHH and Chyna cheated so much that by default Mankind became a huge face. HHH won and then proceeded to torture Mankind in the following weeks. Before the MSG brawl, before the Rumble street fight, before the Hell in a Cell and before the cage match, this was their first blow off match. The Good: Well first off this was HHH's best match up to this point as it was a very entertaining brawl, about 10 notches better than KOTR. The crowd was crazy for Manknid and made the match even better. HHH completely obliterates Mankind's knee and Chyna cheats like crazy. Mankind seels it all and HHH sells for him on every comeback. Hell even Chyna takes a bump. The ending is hated by many but those people just don't see how well it works. The whole match is a brawl and throughout the show they high-lights of them brawling in the back. This perfectly builds to Summerslam and with the hatred displayed here you don't expect a simple pedigree or mandible claw finish. These guys really brought out the good stuff out of each other. The Bad: Mankind forgets the knee a few times. HHH dominates a tad too much although after the knee is injured you expect that. Watchign it you don't feel like you're wtaching a big match. The ending works but even before that you feel like it's just a commercial for the rematch. That's about it. Overall: Great opener which stood as HHH's best match up to that point. ***3/4 Lightweight title: TAKA Michinoku vs The Great Sasuke Story: None really. WWF needed guys to help solidify the lightweight belt and planned to make Sasuke their champion and TAKA was supposed to be just a victim to introduce Sasuke. The Good: Everything. The crowd which was silent at the begining was won over by the sheer mastery that these guys brought to the ring. TAKA was supposed to be a jobbed but he stole the match right form under Sasuke's nose and made himself(key: made HIMSELF) a star in this match. No resting at all and just all out goodness as they threw everything they had at each other until Sasuke finally nails a tiger suplex to end the chaos. This MADE TAKA. The Bad: Rumor has it they did an even better match the next night on Raw, which I haven't seen so I can't comment on. Yah that's the only bad, the fact that they supposedly topped it. Only other thing that hurts it at all is the fact that the crowd was dead early on, but again they sure woke up halfway through. Overall: What can I say? Amazing match which made TAKA a star. ****1/2 WWF Title: Undertaker vs Vader Story: Well this was supposed to be ahmed Johnson's big breakout match but he injured himself so they stuck Vader in there cause they wanted a big man. The Good: Well this was a zillion times better than people thought possible from a Taker match not involving Bret or Shawn. Vader's best WWF match, and one that established him better than the rest of his WWF run combined. Pretty stiff, minimal resting for a Taker match. And an awesoem endign where Taker does EVERYTHING he can, including a top rope chokeslam, to Vader to put him away but Vader keeps proving he's one tough mofo. After the match Taker sells the exhaustion and the pain from the match and probably thanks Vader for giving him THAT good of a match and for making Taker's run look that much mroe credible. And again, a HOT crowd. The Bad: As in most taker matches there is resting, but not as much as usual. A tad too much brawling. Didn't do anything for Vader as he wasn't even on the Summerslam card. And Taker himself lost the belt the next month. Not really much else. Overall: Hmmm.....pretty much the best match possible out of these two. 1997 was a miracle year for Taker as Vader, Foley, Shawn & Bret carried him to good matches. This was no different. ***3/4 10 Man Tag: The Hart Foundation vs Steve Austin, Goldust, Legio of Doom and Ken Shamrock Story: Well Bret and Austin were having, perhaps, the greatest feud of all-time through out the winter. Then on one fateful Raw Bret, fresh off a heel turn, reuntied his family(Owen & Bulldog) to help fend off Austin. They started preaching about how much better some things are in Canada, and despite them speaking the truth most of the time, the crowd HATED them. Soon Jim Neidhart and Brian Pillman were added to the Hart Foundation and at KOTR, Bret challenged any 5 Americans to a match on Bret's home turf. The Good: The crowd. This was the HOTTEST crowd that I have ever seen. During the intro's the pop Bret got was so loud that you can't hear the commentators. When Austin MOVED they boo'ed him. When Pillman CHEATED they cheered him. The match itself was fantastic as all 10 guys got moments to shine until Owen's knee was messed up by Austin and he limped away. Then Ausitn's knee was messed up by Bret and he limped away. This had no traditional flow as it was literally a WAR. All 10 guys just brawled out of hate, non-stop. The ending. When Owen rolled up Austin the crowd blew the roof off the Saddledome. And then the Hart brotehrs storm the ring from the audience and brawl with team USA. Everyone just kilsl each other. Austin's defining moment as a heel occurs as he, chair in hand, tries to fight off 20 Harts and then flips off the crowd while handcuffed. Watching the celebration in the end has to bring a tear to your eye. Especially knowing how bad the Hart Family's luck has been it is great to see Pillman laughing with glee the whole match. Davey Boy with his wife getting cheered by 20,000. Owen celebrating with his kids as this is, arguably, his shining moment. And Bret, with a smile on his face for, what seems like, one last time during his career as him and his whole family go out on top. Plus this is my favorite match ever so that's a plus. The Bad: Nothing. Simple as that. Overall: This is my favorite match ever and the greatest moment in Canadian wrestling history. Plus ocnsidering what happened to half the guys in this match, it's the bets memory of them possible. Who would've thought that out of the 10 guys in the main event only Goldust would still be wrestling in the WWF/E? ***** Overall PPV Thoughts: Name another PPV where the worst match is ***3/4. You can't cause there hasn't been in North America. Some say this show has no historical value but if the end isn't historical, what is? Simply the best PPV in WWF history and, IMO, the best PPV ever. If you haven't seen it, kill whoever you have to do so.

I might bei nterested in some stuff. Do you have a wnat list to trade for?
