Do we really need a "Weekend At Bernie's" remake, though?

Ric Flair was playing the MEGA baby face, while Vader was the role of the absolute beast monster, which can not be destroyed. Something like Kane, just with more talent and more effective. Vader was the World Champ, and was booked to destroy everyone he got in the ring with. They booked him as an unstopable force, blah blah blah. Then you have Ric Flair, the legend, and this was his last chance at trying to get the title back. If he lost this match, his career would be over forever, and that would be it for the Nature Boy. Yes, it was the career of the hometown boy Ric Flair on the line along with the World Title that Vader was holding on the line as well. The event took place in Charlotte, NC so they were right in the heart of Flair Country. They followed Flair from his home all the way to the arena with a camera with Mean Gene by his side, talking to him about the night, and talking to him about his career and everything. They showed Flair's family, showed them crying (even a young Reid and David), and they just made the match seem so damn important. In the match, they made it look like Ric Flair had truly met his match, they made it look like he could never overcome all of these odds, what with Vader being the monster that he is, and Harley Race, the VERY man that Ric Flair defeated just ten years earlier at the very same event for the same title that he was trying to reclaim once again, being in Vader's corner. The match was a hell of a beating, and Flair took it. They made Vader look, once again, like the monster that everyone had seen before. When Vader hit Flair, it looked like he was REALLY trying to hurt him. It was just so intense and the emotion in the air being in Flair's home town, it was just so powerful. I could feel it, and I don't see how any other Pro. Wrestling fan couldn't help but to feel it also. Just when it looked as if Ric Flair had finally been taken out of the game, the bloodied Ric Flair came out of nowhere with a roll-up and defeated the monster, prooving to everyone that he was still the man in town, that he was a living legend, and that he was the NEW World Heavyweight Champion of the world. Then after the match they all celebrated in the back, with his family and even Ricky Steamboat coming by to say congrats. That is how you make a Pro. Wrestling match mean something, that is how you build a story, and that is what I miss in this sport that I love so fucking much. It was the first Pro. Wrestling match that I truly felt an emotional bond with, and I'll never forget how I felt at that time. It was one of those rare, truly special moments in any event or sport. I've only felt as I did while I watched that match just a handfull fo times. So yeah, to me at least, it's one of the best matches overall of all time, one of the most important Pro. Wrestling matches of all time, and some of the best damn storytelling both in and out of the ring, yes, of all time. I'm still amazed that they were able to pull it off, given that Flair was supposed to be teaming with Sting against the Nasty Boys in the midcard, while Vader was supposed to face Sid Vicious in a "Master of the Powerbomb" match. Imagine how much THAT card would have sucked.

136, which I already know to be wrong. Everyone I know who's taken this test said they scored well below what their actual IQ is.

Well, everyone got on the show, anyway. I don't think they've figured out how to use ANYONE.

...the hell???

House show filler!!! PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE come watch us!!!

No DQ in a ladder match...but what about a table match, JR? Get him off my TV.

YES!!! Hogans DVD > Any other DVD either released or imagined You can't be serious. It was a good DVD, but most of those matches sucked.

Wow, they remembered. I can't believe it.

I have officially stopped trying to figure this show out.

Do people actually buy that HBK shirt?

Wow, where the hell is everybody?

Dem house shows be dangerous.

Is it someone's goal to make every segment make as little sense as possible???

FOCK THIS

No Lilian?

YES!!!!!!! Jericho rules.

Correction...there are FIVE too many people in this segment.

There are three too many people in this segment.

I love the word "ricockulous."

Reading the two prior posts...this post makes no sense.

Not revisionist thinking at all. It's been generally accepted that UT/Mankind was a special event, but was a pretty bad match. Heck, it was barely a match at all. Five minutes of action and fifteen minutes of stalling doesn't make for a good match no matter what they do in those five minutes. I voted for HHH/Cactus...easily the best on the list, and my favourite ever (with UT/Shawn close behind).

Wouldn't have mattered. I took the Patriots.

CUBS WIN!! CUBS WIN!! What a screwy finish...an error with the tying run at 2nd, but they pick Castillo off in a rundown at 3rd for the win.

NOT ANYMORE!!! 5-4 Cubs, runner at 3rd with 1 out.
