    Dynasty?

    I agree with you to a point. This year the "no respect" and "no one thought we could do it" routine was pretty far fetched. Very few people picked the Eagles or the Panthers to win. That's two years in a row where they have gone into the game as the favorites. Hell they were favored over the Steelers in the playoffs and the Steelers kicked the shit out of them durign the season. I think the Pats should drop the "no respect" deal. It was true in 2001/02 against the Rams. Virtually no one saw that coming, but in the last two years it hasn't been. They are a dynasty. There is no question about it. They've only lost 4 games in two years. Going 34 and 4 is pretty dominate. As far as them not being dominate, ask Peyton Manning and the Steelers D-line about that. Frankly I prefer that they win the way they do, if they just went out and demolished people there would be no reason to watch. I don't know if I would call them the best team ever but they certainly are the best right now. And they are a dynasty. No one has mentioned that prior to the Pats knocking off the Rams, that the Rams were on the verge of being a dynasty or at leats that was the talk at the time. So they knocked off the best team in football at the time and took that title from them.

    6-sided ring

    Well, BG James is probably the worst wrestler of the Armstrong/James brothers but was blessed with good mic work, so it's better that he talk than wrestle. Konnan, there really is no excuse. He used to be pretty good. And Killings is allegedly much better than these two, but I've yet to see it. He really needs to strike out on his own. I wasn't talking about Road Dogg's ring work (which is pretty bad), I was refering to him using the same "ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages..." deal that he's been using since 1998. He's had 7 years to come up with something new. I question whether or not he has good mic skills anymore because of the lack of any new or creative in the last 7 years. I've seen nothing from Killings in the ring to demontrate that Vince made a mistake in cutting him and nothing on the mic either. All I've seen is the same sloppy shit he did in WWF (which was like 4 years ago). But he sure can dance around the ring like a retard. 3LK seems to be the arrested development group, as neither have doen anything different or gotten any better in the last half decade.

    Lex Luger Arrested

    He was drunk, he probably just hit them with his metal reinforced forearm of doom and then posed for half an hour in the rear view mirror of the cruiser.

    That's even better than the "pastamania" pic. Where and what the fuck is that from? A Ricola comercial?

    WCW facts, tidbits, and stuff people forgot

    I was watching Superbrawl 2 today. It was Ventura's first WCW PPV, so they introduced him and he came out to the ring on a Harley and then told Jim Ross that if he wore a cowboy hat he'd look like JR (something, I can't rememeber) and that his intials were JR. Later he asked Ross if he was going to get the hat, to which Ross replied that he'd comprimise and get cowboy boots. I think Vince watched that show and decided not to comprimise with Jim.

    Lex Luger Arrested

    Good God. This guy had it absolutely made. He was a millionaire despite doing virtually nothing in his career and then it ended and his life went down the shitter. I almost feel sorry for him.

    2005 WWE Draft

    To SD!: HHH (let he and Taker go at to see who jobs first) Orton Jericho Flair Hurricane To Raw: Angle Eddy Cena Booker RVD I really only watch Raw so I'm just moving guys I like onto the show and I guys I'm sick of off. And can we please get some tag teams on either show?
  9. I think the wrestlers really liked him as a person. Foley has said that he is a really funny guy. But I've never heard anyone say anything about his ringwork. Mideon is kind of like a fat chick who people say has a great personality. He is a good guy who can't work.

    6-sided ring

    Never seen either one of them do anything other whatever the angle is with Dusty. My friend had a black box in 2002 so I got to watch the very begining of TNA, (It really looked like promotion of WCW and WWF regets then, I remember seeing Shamrock/JJ for the NWA title) when the box broke I didn't watch it again until I quit my job and was home at 4pm on Fridays.

    6-sided ring

    I said "reasonably hot woman". In other words not bad for indy chicks but I don't see them getting a job in WWE, at least not based on looks and since they don't seem to have much talent I guess that leaves them completely out.

    Rewriting History

    I assume that you're ignoring injuries considering Hennig didn't wrestle at all in 1995 because of the back. And you seem to be pushing HHH pretty hard for a guy who sucked pretty badly in the ring until late 99. But other than that you guys are doing pretty well.

    The Old School questions thread

    I can barely rememeber but I think they just brought him in and put him as babyface guest ref for the "Match Made in Hell" (Hogan/Warrior vs. Slaughter/Shiek/and Adnan) at Summerslam 91. Which was also the first show that Flair's NWA title appeared on. After Summerslam they turned Sid heel and feuded him with Hogan, they they turfed him because of Steriods and Turner gave him like $500K a year to come and stab Arn Anderson.

    6-sided ring

    I think it hinders the matches. I've watched Impact for the last few weeks and seen at least 4 or 5 guys getting whipped into the ropes and having to veer one way or the other so that they hit the ropes and not the turnbuckes. Plus the ring is really small, like WCW rings were and it makes for some stupid spots where the guys are always too close to the ropes in submission moves and pins. I saw Monty Brown (for the first time friday and was unimpressed) pin a guy who pretty much under the bottom rope after his goofy shoudler block finish. They should go to a 20 foot, square ring like WWE uses and keep the cables (as opposed to reall ropes) do the cruisers can do there springboard spots and such. Another little gripe I have with TNA is that Don West is fucking terrible and Mike Tenay stands up to the wrestlers way too much during interviews and the nicknames for wrestlers (which are repeated over and over and over and over) suck. "The Charismatic Enigma" "The King of the Mountain" "Planet Jarrett" (if it failed as a bottom of the card comedy gimick for Shawn Stasiak it probably won't work on top as a serious gimmick, unless it's some kind of insider deal in where he's acknoledging that his daddy owns the company, in which case everybody who would get it already knows and it's not funny. "The Alpha Male" "Phenomenal" AJ Styles, etc... Why do Road Dogg and Konnan still do the same mic work before matches that they've been using wince 1998? Oh you didn't know? It 2005 come up with something new. I don't get the Chris Daniels gimmick. From his nickname and entrance attire I assume he's supposed to be a demonic priest or somethign yet when he does commentary he's just another generic heel. Why would they bother to show the horrible interaction between DDP and Hall and Nash? They taped the show two weeks ago, one would think that the producer of that spot would have enough time to make them do it again so that it didn't come off as three friends doing a poor job of pretending to hate one another. That and show looks way too much like WCW Worldwide with the goofy lasers and being in Disney. It looks like the a third rate show and seems to be treated as such. I know they want people to buy their PPVs but wouldn't it be a good idea to have some of your top guys as least work a squash match here and there so people could see if they want to pay money to watch them have a real match? I haven't seen Jarrett wrestle in at least 2 years, haven't seen Page, Hall, or Nash since they were in WWE. Maybe showcasing some of their top "talent" might get someone to spend $10 or $30 for the PPVs. I won't spend money on something when I don't know what I'm getting. Well with Hall and Nash I know I'll get a bad match becuase Nash hasn't had a good one since April of 96 and Hall since roughly Summerslam 95. Why are they pushing some 50 year old gray haired Nascar show host who nobody outside of Tennessee has ever heard of? And why would you put a Nascar guy with the rapper team? Shouldn't he be with team that would better suit his image? I just hope he doesn't try to "speak on this" and dance like K Kwick. And why is Dusty booking himself to be a ladies man? This is beyond stupid and no one in their right mind would ever believe that a 60 year old fat ass who can barely speak English would have two reasonably hot women swooning over him in the bed of a pick up while sitting on bales of hay. I guess that was more than one thing. But I don't hate the show, it's just not very good and could be a lot better. They have some good workers and some guys who are very green and unpolished but have potential.

    Hogan's Most Successful Programs

    Hogan's best opponent ever was Savage, as far as drawing money. They drew huge money in 85-86 and again in 89, and did pretty well in 97 for WCW. Hogan drew with just about everybody from 84-90. Orndorff, Bundy, Studd, Piper, Savage, Bossman, Andre, Kamala, Dibiase, Shiek, Volkoff etc...

    That wacky Joey Styles

    The problem with guys like Nash and Page (most non-hardcore fans wouldn't even recognize Jarrett as a World Champ level guy) is the problem that the WWF ran into with Hogan, with the main difference being that Hogan is a legend who people wanted to see (for a short time). People would flip through the channels see Hogan on Raw or SD! and say "Jesus! He's still around?" Then they'll watch for a few minutes and say "Jesus! he's still doing the same shit he did in the 80s only not as well and man, is he old!" Nash and Page wouldn't even get the few minutes. They are not stars anymore. The death of WCW and the way WWE used Page killed any drawing abilities he ever had (which wasn't much in the first place) and Nash never drew on his own, the nWo drew with him as a major part of it, but Nash never did. Jarrett is just a joke. The guy is looked upon by the fanbase at large as an IC tile level guy with no charisma. His world title runsin WCW are largely forgotten or were never acknowledged because no one was watching. These three guys can't even really give the younger guys a rub because they have next to no star power and Nash and Jarrett don't seem too willing to put anybody over anyway.

    Worst ring attire of all time?

    Beniot at one point was wearing purple/lavender tights which was not a good look. HHH wore purple as well. Just not a good color for a tough guy. Although Bret pulled off pink pretty well. Owen's caution tights during his Nation days were pretty bad. Aldo Montoya's jock strap mask. Rikishi's thong. Flash Funk's outfits. Jeff Jarrett's tights with the suspenders from his Double J days.

    How does Clark Kent hide his....

    I always wondered what he did with his wallet. I remember reading, years agoa when I read comics that when he was being Superman he would rapidly shake his face, so fast that it wasn't noticable ot regular people and because of this shaking no one could get a clear picture of him. So every picture was blurry and as such it couldn't be compared to a picture of Clark Kent. But you do wonder why it took Lois so long to figure it out.

    Dave Meltzer's Top 100 Workers

    Hogan was actually quite good when he wanted to be. See some of his 80s matches against Savage, Orndorf, and Piper. If he was in there with a good worker he'd try harder. I think Hogan gets an unfair bad rap because he feuded with Bundy, Studd, Andre, Zeus, Akeem, and other big fat slobs who no one could have a good match with. And he did carry the Warrior to a passable match, which I watched the other day and man, it just doesn't hold up to todays standards, but it was good for the time in WWF.

    The Old School questions thread

    She gave birth in Saginaw, Michigan? Owen was at the building and in his tights by (at least) the end of the PPV. I find it very hard to beleive that he flew his very pregnant wife in from Calgary or that she had the kid and he hopped on a flight so he could be on a PPV for 30 seconds and do a job in a match that he had been replaced in. But stranger thigns have happened.
  21. The guy fucked Pamela Anderson and possibly Britany Spears. He can do better than the man-beast.

    The Old School questions thread

    I was just watching the IYH form 9/95 and was wondering why they ran the angle where Owen didn't show up and Bulldog took his place in the match with Yoko against HBK and Nash only to have Owen come out at the end and do the job? It didn't make sense to me.

    WWF/E Tidbits from the past

    Thanks, I forgot that Benoit debuted about week after Tazz did. I still think they blew an oppurtunity though.

    But he was born in Memphis and then was adopted and taken to Minnesota. SO you take the hick out of the south but you can't take the south out of the hick or something.
