Guest godthedog Report post Posted July 29, 2002 if it was so much harder to see bret's greatness 86-90, then where's the actual proof that he was at his peak then? he did the single greatest carry job in the history of wrestling with davey boy smith in 1992, when he was 35. don't sit here and tell me he would've had a better match under the same circumstances in 1986. and has anyone else noticed that yoyoyomamamama doesn't participate in any other topics?

Guest yomama Report post Posted July 29, 2002 >>Austin's matches were much better from 1993-1997 than from 1998-1999 >No, he still peaked in '98/'99 In wrestling matches how so? >Maybe they didnt SUCK, but they certainly couldnt hold a candle to their BEST work. They are examples of wrestlers who did far better after their "so called prime" than they ever did in their "prime" As tag team wrestlers, they were limited in their work. You didn't get to see them shine like when they were in singles because of having much less time to work. By the prime rule, they were at their best then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RicFlairGlory Report post Posted July 29, 2002 >WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) is the best pure judge of how well a pitcher would perform No it's not because it isn't how many guys you let on base, it is how many guys you let score The less guys you let on base, the less score. He had great ERA's as well, but I was trying to remove the influence of a defense (better defenses allow less runs, so ERA isnt a perfect method of judging performance) >>>what about all the one time wonders who did great in their early/mid 20's, then faded away when they approached 30? >>There aren't any unless they had major injuries, a major disease, or did drugs >No moron, their one year wonder seasons WERE their peak, regardless of how fucking old they are. If you only have one good season, THATS YOUR FUCKING PEAK They don't have only one good season, they continue to improve until they reach their prime Okay, let me get this straight, you're saying that ONE YEAR WONDERS continue to improve until they reach their prime? Fuck you. I'm right. You're wrong. Fucking period. How can you tell me one year wonders IMPROVE!! They DONT improve, thats WHY they're One Year Wonders, you fucking dense piece of horseshit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saying they are in their prime from 28-32 is the prime rule, then saying 28-32 is the prime time because the prime rule says so, is circular fucking logic. You cant prove anything when you assume your point is proven. Thats akin to me saying the world is flat because I think the world is flat. And I think the world is flat because it is. Total bullshit.

It's difficult to prove that Bret Hart and Ric Flair were at their best when they were tag team wrestlers (or that they were any worse than when they were in their mid-late 30s). Therefore I just use the prime rule and say they were at their best then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, I'm going to try to explain this to you as simply as possible You cannot use as justification, any rule that hasnt been proven You have not proven the prime rule to be true, so therefore you cannot use it as evidence/justification for an opinion you hold to be fact Have you ever considered that its difficult to prove BH and RF were at their best as tag wrestlers, because its not true?

Go study the careers of Brady Anderson, Glenn Beckert, and I'm sure I could come up with a few others. See that they only had one BIG season, which coincidentally WASNT in their 28-32 prime ages, and then faded back to mediocrity afterwards. They didnt get a disease, have drug abuse, or get injured.

Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted July 29, 2002 Is this thing STILL going on? Just think...what if Kurt Angle believed in the 28-32/33/whatever garbage? *Angle walks into Vince McMahon's office* Vince - Oh, hey Kurt. What can I help you with? Kurt - Vince, I need to win the title from Brock the exact DAY after Summer Slam! I'm dead serious. Vince - What? Kurt - It's simple, Vince. Intelligence is one of the three I's that I've been talking about since day one. And that 'I' is telling me that I need to win the title as soon as possible. Now, I know that we have plans from Summer Slam and whatever....but the thing is, on December 10, I turn 33! Vince - Are you worried about aging too uick? Don't worry, Ric Flair peaked when you were in college..and he's damn near 55 now! Kurt - Vince, it's common knowledge that once a man hits 33, he goes downhill. There's no question! Kurt tries to say something to combat the Flair comment...but trails off. Vince - What about..Bret Hart? He was putting on great matches when he was well into his mid thirties! Kurt - He was at his peak when he was stuck in that tag team with Jim Neidhart!! You didn't capitalize on him when he was at his peak! But don't worry, when he screwed himself over in 97, he was going WAY downhill! Vince scowls at Kurt, but the Olympic Gold Medalist continues... Kurt - I figure that if you give me the title in August, I can give you three months worth of four star matches. However, when and if you job me out to Lesnar and RVD on December 11, it'll probably be a one star match at best..because I'll be 33 at that point! Anyway..what do you say? Vince - You're scaring me, Kurt.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
