Guest Mattdotcom Report post Posted August 25, 2002 Just wanted to let you know that the reason Austin was upset and off his game was revealed in the video/DVD "Oh, Hell Yeah!" It shows footage from the "backdrop-attempt-Austin-kick" spot and Austin says Taker popped up and hit him in the jaw with his head. Austin was knocked out for a moment. Great review, otherwise. And thanks again for helping me get my EWR back up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2002 Yeah, Rob's review was tight. Definitely took me back to '98 which is a good thing when doing a review. I wish more people would react to articles here....*ahem*. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted August 25, 2002 Sweet. 2 threads about me in the last 2 weeks. Matt, thanks for the info on the Austin. BretHart4Ever also PM'ed me about it. Thanks for reading and commenting. Dames, thanks for the compliment. I guess all that 1998 research paid off... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kingkamala Report post Posted August 26, 2002 Do a rant of Rock Bottom '98 (fends self from angry smarks) Just kidding! Just Kidding! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted August 26, 2002 I don't own that show, nor would I ever review it. One crappy show (Road Wild 99) every few months is more than enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kingkamala Report post Posted August 26, 2002 To think I almost got that show(Rock Bottom 98) on DVD is shameful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted August 26, 2002 At least you came to your senses and decided against it. Sadly, I'm sure some people on this board are guilty of wasting $15 on that crap because THEY MUST HAVE EVERY WWE DVD!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kingkamala Report post Posted August 27, 2002 I got Unforgiven 98 on DVD which is meh, HHH-Owen Hart is pretty good and so is Dude Love Vs Steve Austin and the inferno match is surprisngly decent but the rest is crap. Retro Rob are you going to review any more of the Best of WWF coliseum videos or review any more Greatest TV tapes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted August 27, 2002 The only Best of...tape I have left is Vol. 2. For this week I was thinking of doing the Coliseum Video, Raw Hits (Bret Hart-123 Kid). As far as the TV comps go, I have about 3 more, but they take quite a bit of time to review. At the moment (school starting) I don't really have that much time, although I will be doing one once I settle in and get used to the school routine again.

Guest kingkamala Report post Posted August 28, 2002 I bet you got if for the Oddities-Headbangers though , I remember them hyping the shit out of The Undertaker-Austin Buried Alive match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted August 28, 2002 The buyrate for that show (.78) was much higher than I would have expected it to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kingkamala Report post Posted August 28, 2002 Well it was during the highly successful craptastic Russo era and what else would you order Goldberg jobbing to Nash on Starrcade 98 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted August 28, 2002 I just found it interesting because a good PPV like Over The Edge 1998 only brought in about .58. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got both....fear me.....or respect me... Don't feel sorry I got Superbrawl X on PPV, with a double main event of Hulk Hogan-Lex Luger(Which is horrible I'd give it a DUD) and Sid Vs Jeff Jarrett Vs Scott Hall(Actually pretty good but it was only 6 minutes so I'd give it **1/4 maybe **1/2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
