haws bah gawd

I actually really like this match...though the crowd was COMPLETELY dead for it, there's some cool stuff there if you go back and watch. I also remember really enjoying this match. I was a huge mark at the time,a nd thought Shamrock was going to steal the victory using Undertaker's own move on him, but Taker reversed it into his own Tombstone and got the win.

If you mean by who the winner was, it was Big Show after giving Viscera a missle dropkick

One of my favorite more recent markout moments was Kane and Batista staring eachother down in the ring. I believe it was durining the battle royal in early Summer of this year to determine who would wrestle Benoit at Bad Blood for the title. Everyone had been knocked down in the ring, and it was left to a stare-down between Kane and Batista. Just the two of them staring at eachother got what was probably the loudest pop of the night, then the place got even louder when they started throwing the punches. JR's "OH GAWD THESE TWO BULLS ARE ABOUT TO COLLIDE" comment really added to the moment.

...I did work in the game selling industry for three years, so yes, I know. I was more trying to imply for him to buy it on Nov 1st to get Wal-Mart smacked. Next time, I'll just say that. My store (Wal-Mart) absolutely sucks when it comes to releasing games. They took almost a week after the release date to get Fable. lol, aren't all the new video games and movies suppose to come out on Tuesday's at Wal-Marts? The Walmart in my area had Here comes the Pain, 4 days early last year. However, the same store didnt get the first copy of Fable for nearly a month after the initial release.

I was rading on Yahoo.com a little while ago that shes now blaming acid reflux disease, which made her use a "vocal enhancement track" during the performance. I wish she would decide what really happened: Acid reflux, band played the wrong song, and Im sure theres other "theories". Next thing you know she'll be blaming aliens, or Snitzky.

I believe this was called the Edgucator. Very cool submission. I think he used it during a tag match on RAW a couple months ago.

Cattle Mutilation looks like it could easily cause a serious injury WCW version of the Walls of Jericho As simple and old as the move was, I really enjoyed the Brock's Bearhug. Just seeing someone as big as Brock doing a bearhug, but holding it from the side made it look really brutal. I also liked Brock's over the head, single leg crab.

Big Show vs Viscera from late 1999 was extremely entertaining.

My figurEs of choice were the Marvel Secret Wars figures, along with some early MacFarlane figures. I used the WWF Ring put out by whichever company did their toys in the early 90's. Captain America was the undefeatable monster heel who took out everyone and used the Stars and Stripes (seated powerbomb) to decimate the roster. He was finally defeated by Wolverine using the Berserker Bomb (diving Tiger Driver '91) for the title. Good God someone shoot me for talking about this.......

A WCW houseshow in Augusta, GA in October, 1997. Payed $35 for tickets. DDP no showed this, and the following 3 WCW events at the same place (before finally showing up for Nitro in November 2000). Anyways, what made this so bad was there were 6 matches on the show. It was headlined by Lex Luger vs Scott Hall. The match was a disaster, only to be saved by Hall's facial expressions after getting about 10 inverted atomic drops in a row. The only high-point of the show was Ric Flair vs Curt Hennig for the WCW US Title. Flair was "injured" but told Hennig he would let Benoit take his place. Benoit beat Hennig for the title, thus blowing the roof off the Civic Center, however evil nWo referee Nick Patrick decided after the fact that it was a non-title match, and Hennig retained. The Benoit/Hennig match was great, but with there only being 6 matches on the card, it became the worst overall show I've been to.

Goldberg is already over like mad with any given crowd. What good would putting the title on him do? He was unbeaten when WCW put the title on him. Even though it blew the roof off the Georgia dome (and my house), and led to WCW's final defeat of RAW in the ratings, you knew that because he had the belt, he would eventually be beaten, thus taking away (at least to me) what made him unique. To sum it all up, my point is Goldberg didnt need to World title for the crowds to buy him as "the man". My opinion on the matter is if a wrestler is over with the crowd, then they dont need a belt to establish them further because the crowds already buy into them.

My change is one that has probably been beaten into the ground, but I feel needs to be stated again. If I were head of creative, the wrestler's "spots" would be determined by in-ring ability. No more holding back the cruiserweights and talented technical wrestlers because "they make the Undertaker look bad". If you want to be in the main event, go out to the ring, and prove to me with your in-ring ability that you deserve the spot. Of course there would be a place for those who are good on the mic (Rock, Cena, Orton, etc.) But only if you can put on a good match, would you be in consideration for a title reign. Thats just my 2 cents. More emphasis needs to be made on the WRESTLING than mic work.

Im really tired so I did a copy/paste of some of UsetheSledgeHammerUh's post: Eddie Guerrero vs Brock Lesnar (No Way Out) **** -Jamie Noble vs Paul London (Velocity) Haven't seen it. -Kurt Angle vs Eddie Guerrero (WrestleMania) ** (I think this is the most overrated match of the year) -Triple H vs Chris Benoit vs Shawn Micheals (WrestleMania) ***** -Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Misterio (Smackdown gauntlet final) ** 3/4 -Triple H vs Shelton Benjamin (Raw - the first upset). **** -Mick Foley vs Randy Orton (Backlash) Haven't seen it -Triple H vs Chris Benoit vs Shawn Micheals (Backlash) **** 1/2 -Chris Benoit vs Randy Orton (the night after Summerslam) ***** no question about it I say Orton vs Benoit from Raw after Summerslam is WWE match of the year. Sure it was ALL Benoit, but damn was it spectacular.

also known as Rainman's Dark City Street Cutter or Alex Shelley's backpack stunner. Thats pretty cool that a few other wrestlers use the move (i dont get to watch much indy wrestling). It was souch a simple move, yet it looked so devastating seeing as how it was the promotion's 350 lb Heel "Commissioner" doing the move to their top baby face who dressed like RVD, moved like the Amazing Red, and was about 150lbs soaking wet.

A buddy of mine is going to rent a giant nose costume from a local playhouse, use my RAW world title, and be HHH this year.

I agree with you 100%. This match was 10 times better than it had any right to be. Now I wont go giving it **** or anything, but I have no problem giving it ** 1/2 - *** . Big Show even used a missle dropkick to win the match.

One wrestler, not sure of his name, in a local indy fed uses a very unique finisher. It starts off as a piggy-back-ride, then he throws the guys legs out backwards, and drops into a Stunner. I can best describe it as an extra-stiff reverse Widow's Peak.

Didn't Shane Douglas use a modified version of this during his run in the final days of WCW? He actually used a modified version of Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers in WCW. Thats news to me, I always thought it was a butchered Running with the Devil.

That pissed me off something fierce, because I was so excited to finally have Stone Cold's theme, only to have him talking trash over most of the song. The uber-crap SHawn Michaels theme, which sounded like second-rate karaoke, was a real downer too.

Didn't Shane Douglas use a modified version of this during his run in the final days of WCW? Also, to go along with Stone Cold Steve Austin's "kick your ass beer drinking redneck" persona, I think Drowning Pool's "Step Up" with the shattering glass added to the beginning would've fit him perfectly. Finally, I've always wanted to see a company liscense Sephiroth's theme from Final Fantasy 7 (his main theme, not "One Winged Angel") to use for a wrestler.

Another good near fall was at Superbrawl 1996. During the cage match between Macho Man and Ric Flair for the World Title. Its been a few years since I saw the match, but about 5 minutes in, Macho Man goes to suplex Flair, but crotches him on the top rope, and goes for the pin. The count was so close that they actually rang the bell to end the match and briefly played Macho Man's music. Then the Ref had to start yelling that it was a two count and it pissed off the crowd. I may be wrong on Machos music being played, but I definitely remember the bell ringing.

I bow to the coolness of that video. Best ASSKICKING I've seen in a long time.

I wont call you weird, but I will say you had the most incredibly fucked up dream I've heard of in a long time. I too am wondering why this must be fit into Ron's schedule. I haven't heard of him working many or any indy shows.

Sorry to get off topic here for a bit, but they couldn't have found a better match to follow up the HHH/Steiner embarassment. Another good match that I can remember was HHH vs Rikishi from Smackdown in late 2000/early 2001. It was a World Title match and HHH kicked out of everything Rikishi threw at him, but you just knew Rikishi was going to win the championship one way or another in that match. Thats got to be Rikishi's best match by far. No pun intended, but HHH was on top of his game in every way, shape, and form that night.

How about Benoit putting Angle in the Crossface near the end of their RR2003 classic? You could just FEEL Angle tapping out, then he rolled through into the Grapevine Anklelock.
