Guest Anglesault Report post Posted February 18, 2002 Well, Kurt won, Test lost and Jeff Hardy is dead. What the hell do you THINK I thought of the show? Anyway, I'll dissect it piece by piece. -nWo Segment: Anyone else think they messed up and gave their "We want a second chance" to the fans and "We're gonna kill you all" to the boys? At least they made fun of Last Call Hall. -Tag Team Turmoil: Christian and Lance are being wasted. Scotty and Albert ARE a waste. Jeff Hardy has WAY too many ball shot-oriented moves, and not in the Ric Flair sense either. Jeff lingers. Alcohol-ytes (I made a funny) will face Outsiders at Mania. - Rambling Flair Promo: Rambling Flair Promo just about covers it. -Van Dam vs. Goldust: Sweet Jesus did this match drag. And Van Dam needs to work on his long term selling. The back injury disappeared. And I don't like how he does that "Completely exhausted after ***** Splash, then jump up two seconds later" -nWo-Austin: Surprise, surprise, Hall had the beer. -Booker and Crap vs. Tazz and Spike: Test killed the match. The hot tag had no heat. Test is death to anyone who wants a hot match. -Rock Promo: He didn't sound like he had a concussion. Perfect: Curt was Smashed. -Edge Vs Regal: Boring, Boring, Boring. God I hope this feud is over. Right man went over. I can't watch another Edge IC run. -Angle Promo: Seemed really forced. -Taker vs. Rock: I liked it. Way too overbooked though. Flair vs. Taker should be pretty bad. -Angle vs. HHH: YES YES YES! Way too many ref bumps though. I would have drawn the line at 37. HGH still sucks. -Angle leaving: "I'm going to Wrestlemania" made me mark out. -nWo/Rock: I love when old gimmicks are trashed. -Austin vs. Jericho: Pretty bad. REALLY DRAGGED. nWo Beatdown: Weak ass heel beat down, as only Hall would do anything, and he's fat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Vanilla Midget Report post Posted February 18, 2002 my thoughts pretty much exactly, though you were pretty harsh on the rvd-goldust. it was watchable, and one of the better matches on the card. at least rvd won, even though it makes little to no sense. i was happy that test jobbed, and i though all the "smart" references by hall in the opening promo were a bit stupid.

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted February 18, 2002 I think you are being too hard on RVD/Goldust. HHH is so bad that Angle couldn't even carry him to anything decent...Jericho can't do any better with him. Here's to hoping that Angle makes it to Mania. BUT you are being to hard on RVD/Goldust.

Guest The Man in Blak Report post Posted February 18, 2002 Well, from the sounds of it, RVD/Goldust is the MOTN...and what does /that/ say about the PPV? And Angle's going to Wrestlemania, all right...it's just that he and Jericho won't be anywhere near the main event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted February 18, 2002 I'm not so much saying that RVD/Goldust was a BAD match, but that it just went on way too long. It would have been awesome if it didn't drag to the point that moves were being repeated. And it was kind of slow paced. But I liked the first 3/4 of it, until it got dull.

Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted February 18, 2002 Man, I've been trashing the NWO for weeks now but the promos with them were decent. Man, did anyone count the ref bumps? Like every match practically. RVD-Goldust was decent but Goldies rests WAY too much. I'm still shocked they let Angle win without NWO interference. I agree with you for the most part bps but at least the NWO interference was isolated to the last match...but all the ref bumps F***!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tony149 Report post Posted February 18, 2002 RVD/Goldust should of been nothing more than a spot-fest. I kinda like the nWo promo to open the show. Rock making fun of them was hilarious. Did you see HHH foam from the mouth after his match with Kurt? He has HGH rabies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Vanilla Midget Report post Posted February 18, 2002 the nwo promo was such a *total* shock for me, i marked out like a little girl. it was awesome having them open the show, cos absolutely no-one expected it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted February 18, 2002 Hey...Angle and RVD both ended their PPV losing streaks. Neither had won since Unforgiven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted February 18, 2002 "the nwo promo was such a *total* shock for me, i marked out like a little girl. it was awesome having them open the show, cos absolutely no-one expected it.' I'm glad they only interfered in one match. I was expecting run-ins everywhere. But I only marked out for the beer reference and hall calling the NWO "marks". Where's Brian Pillman when you need him (yes, I know he's dead)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tony149 Report post Posted February 18, 2002 Did you notice their new black & white entrance? When they were doing the beat down on Austin...I found it hilarious Hogan let his bald head be shown. He should find a way too keep that bad boy on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted February 18, 2002 I saw heat too... RVD got mic time. And he was decent at worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted February 18, 2002 "Hey...Angle and RVD both ended their PPV losing streaks. Neither had won since Unforgiven." Now when is Booker gonna win a PPV match!??? has he even won one since he's been here. And the Invasion does not count since it was Austin who allowed the win to happen.

Guest Tony149 Report post Posted February 18, 2002 RVD should stick to pointing to himself and say "Rob-Van-Dam!" DDP vs. Bossman wasn't pretty. At least that wasn't on the PPV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Vanilla Midget Report post Posted February 18, 2002 the black and white entrance was cool, i though my tv was fucking up at first, cos the picture got scrambled badly during the pyro. and i didnt see heat, we didnt get it on our pregame show, we had to put up with coachman shilling all the matches badly. at least i *finally* got to see those nWo commercials, damn foxsports wont show em...mumble mumble /bitch mode off.

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted February 18, 2002 Hey...on the mic... RVD made the crowd laugh...popped them a few times...put down his freak of an opponent and moved on. I call that a good promo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted February 18, 2002 "DDP vs. Bossman wasn't pretty. At least that wasn't on the PPV. " what happened to Venis-DDP? It's a sad world when Bossman is still getting airtime and Chavo and Hurricane can't even get on Metal or Jakked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted February 18, 2002 RVD was pretty good. "I have no problem with Goldust wearing a wig and a robe. I'm all for self expression. But when then wig wearing, robe wearing freak wants to jump me...." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tony149 Report post Posted February 18, 2002 I thought that was one of RVD's better promos. But he should stick to the easy stuff before he starts cutting those kinds of promos. DDP/Val was only a rumor. McMahon likes Bossman. So there's a reason why Bossman is on TV more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted February 18, 2002 If they let Edge and Regal get the Mic... Honestly...RVD wasn't that bad at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted February 18, 2002 They know he can use the mic...but what's the point? They don't want him to be more over... They can't even figure out what to do with him now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tony149 Report post Posted February 18, 2002 I didn't say the promo was bad. I actually found it funny. RVD is known not to be a good promo guy. Heyman had to write all of RVD's ECW promos. I wouldn't be surprised if Paul wrote that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Vanilla Midget Report post Posted February 18, 2002 they shouldnt be concerned if rvd didnt write the promo, hell isnt that why they even *have* writers. if rvd actually can have a decent promo, then it is time for the wwf to stop using it as an excuse to not push him.

Guest imajackoff? Report post Posted February 18, 2002 This show was horrible. Why is Vince coming out during the Rock/UT match? Having "injected the poison", he shouldnt give a damn about any wwf match. The only match that he could have logicly cared about is the HHH/Angle match cuz his little girl was involved. And as for that match, did there have to be 41 ref bumps in one contest? In the main event, they seemed more interested in chopping each other than building a good match. As for positives..... I thought Scott Hall was funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
