Australian Pride

One of my favourite matches back when I was a 12 year old mark was Bossman/Akeem/Andre vs Demolition/Hacksaw from Summerslam 89. That had to be the biggest 3 man team ever put together. I loved watching Smash bodyslam Bossman, then Akeem, and with the crowd going wild he tried for Andre but didn't pull it off.

My favourite Bossman moment: Eliminating Hulk from the Royal Rumble. I remember being in shock over that as Hulk, along with Andre and Savage, was the hot favourites. If only more had been done with it he could have been a legit headliner for a few years. Savage/Hogan was the money match for Mania, but surely something could have been done to elevate him proper. Hope the afterlife treats you well Bossman.

They could do a WM10 type story where Y2J gets injured on the way to losing the IC title, but then heroically comes back and defeats HHH. Can't see it happening, especially the 'defeats HHH' part but it would be a good way to get him back in the main event spotlight. Have Edge beat him in the IC title match after a heel turn and some help from Christian, followed by a big beatdown (which is later revealed to be orchestrated by HHH). HHH comes to the ring for the main, but Jericho doesn't answer his music. At about a ref's count of 8 Jerichos music hits and the match is on.

He could be Screamin Norman Smiley version 2 - the only wussy face in history to ever be slightly over.

I originally thought they were heading down the Rockers path, with London playing Shawn and Kidman as Jannetty. London, fed up with Kidmans crap, sneak attacks in a major way which leaves Kidman on the bench for several months. London starts walking and talking like an arrogant little son of a bitch, then goes and scores a title, either US or cruiser, and gets a couple of PPV wins under his belt before Kidman makes his comeback and assumes the babyface role. Now, i'm not too sure how it will play out. They could still do the above scenario, only with London injuring Kidman during the match. However I think Kidman will snap and turn full heel.

If HHH respects wrestlers as much as people says he does how come he has so much difficulty in properly putting somebody over? 'Cause to me that's the biggest sign of respect. Keeping your spot is called business, and name me one wrestler that would act any differently in his place. You can't. Rebuttal: The Rock. He's about the only one though. The Rock now is pretty good because he knows he's only a part timer and he has bigger things to worry about, but rewind a couple of years and he wasn't as nice. For example - he completely ruined Booker T's credibility at SummerSlam 01. And then backed it up the following month in the handicap match involving Shane. He never put Jericho over clean either, there was always some screwy ending, but that may not have been entirely by his choosing.

Didn't Louie Spicoli die of an overdose? Curt Hennig, Rick Rude and Brian Pillman all died prematurely as an extension of doing drugs as well. But I think the Von Erichs take the top prize, with Jake Roberts coming in not far behind them. From more recent times - Jeff Hardy and Eddie Guererro.

Another big one - In 2002 when HHH/HBK came out on Raw to the DX music.

I agree, it was a very good match live, but it was just weird seeing Kurt as a babyface in that match. The best part of the live show was before the show started, whilst the crew were doing the last minute setting up, so they sent Rico out to warm up the crowd. Rico was just brilliant, without even saying a word he had 56,000 people booing the fuck out of him, it made me a Rico fan. I was there live as well. I thought it was funny seeing how out of touch they were, with Angle getting a huge babyface reaction, but then getting booed for saying Australians were a lot like Americans (a definate no-no). He got past it though, and then the match with Test was cool, except for the botched spot on the top rope. Test's best match since SummerSlam 99.

What is going on here? I guess some people don't find (attempted) greek lettering amusing. Czech, the WWE folder shall suffle in your absence.

These are all the films he directed, or in Four Rooms case partially directed. What's your favourite? EDIT: I voted for Reservoir Dogs, but it is an extrememly tough call between that and PF.

Rebuttal: Yep, and I think I would have preferred it if he had been traded to SD instead of Rene Dupree. Put Conway in the spot Dupree had where he was feuding with Cena and the matches would have been at least 10 times better, and it may have helped Cena develop his act instead of becoming as stale as he has. (There would be no way of avoiding the pathetic gay jokes though)

Just don't kill them until AFTER the haircut part of the show is filmed. And now that I think about it, it's actually too late for Shawn, he's been going to Paul Heyman on skullett tips.

In the right environment, Christian is a very good worker. If WWE told him to just cut loose I think he would stop doing so many restholds and be a top class performer. Rob Conway is also very good, but is stuck in the La Res gimmick, where he has the tag titles, but not much more. HHH can go when sufficiently motivated. Yeah, that's about all Raw has going for it in terms of pure wrestling heels. Edge will be heel soon though.

Statement: I would watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy if they made over either Edge or Shawn Michaels.

Depends on if you are using it for good or evil.

Rock vs Booker T, SummerSlam 2001. Rock's nip-up completely ruined the match and made Booker look totally pathetic. Rock won not long after. Undertaker no-sold everything in late 2001. RIP DDP's career. Another one - Road Warrior Hawk no-selling RVD's five star on Raw.

As a Queenslander I was actually excited when I first read this. Then i realised that the movie will likely be crap and just tarnish our image. As for the worst horror movie ever - I saw a film years ago which I believe was called 'Man from Deep River' (could be wrong, there were a few movies similar). It was a cannibal flick, it was crap, and nothing on Earth could prepare me for the penis eating scene.

I think it's actually Sid I voted Flair/Savage. Personally, I think in the history of WM Randy Savage was the best big match competitor they have ever had. He took both Hogan and Warrior to the greatest matches of their careers, and when he was in there with a talent, like Steamboat or Flair, the results were incredible. Rock/Austin would be my second pick, and the Hitman mark in me still has a soft spot for Bret/Yoko from WM10.

Here's some other that i dont think have been mentioned yet: Bret Harts 'surprise' entrance to the 1994 Royal Rumble. 'The Old' Stone Cold coming out during that big brawl on Raw prior to the Invasion PPV. Austin's fisrt ever stunner on Vince in 1997. The pops for his involvement at Ground Zero (stunning JR and Owen Hart) were massive as well. Randy Savage at Tuesday in Texas Goldberg when he beat Hogan for the WCW title

14 years down the drain... Jerry: I think it's the balck and white cookie. Elaine: Not getting along?

I'm going with Jericho as my fave. The other night on Raw he actually made people forget that they wanted to see Y2J/HBK for the IC title, and had them convinced the tag match was a big deal. Not many wrestlers could do that. Of the non-wrestlers I love Paul Heyman. His talents would be better served helping someone other than Heidenreich though.

I like that idea. As long as the person chosen for the role can wrestle it would work, because once he has that first match you need to do everything possible to avoid it being a letdown.

On Tarantino related topics - I'm also a fan of From Dusk til Dawn, but i think he was only and actor in that, maybe a co-writer. True Romance is also great, but Oliver Stone killed Natural Born Killers. The script for that was so much better than Stone's interpretation.

At least Heidenreichs in good company - HHH raped a corpse, Kane raped Lita. Now in WWE land, Cole will come out next week and have a secret backstage meeting with Tazz, that just happens to be filmed, where he confides that he either got pregnant or was suffering from some sort of painful yet pleasurable anal bleeding and cant stop it.
