Diatribe up

[The Dames 0]

I have a feeling that I'm gonna take a lot of shit for my star ratings in this one for one match in particular, but hey...1. its an opinion, 2. i was tired as fuck doing this until close to 8am.

 

I shall pimp away.

 

Sig or top of the forum.

What match HGH vs HBK, or Angle vs Big Slob?

[The Dames 0]

Actually, the women's match...although people ALWAYS disagree with my assessment of HBK/HHH's SummerSlam match, so I don't doubt that they'll have something to say on this one.

I disagree with your star ratings but like always it was a very good diatribe.

 

I think you underrated the tag match and overrated the chick match even though you may've been influenced by the awesomeness that was Victoria and her music.

 

I think you're rating for Angle v. Show is about right and I would've given another 1/2 a star to Eddy v. Benoit.

 

But overall- good stuff

[Guest treble charged]

I'd flip the ratings for the 4 way tag match and the HBK/HHH match around, and I didn't like the women's match as much as you did (Edge/Albert was better, IMO). But otherwise, good job.

Ok Thanks.

 

I didn't see the ppv so I have no idea.

[Guest deadbeater]

Edge/Albert was better than the women's match? I don't think so. Both did had blah endings, but the women's match had better action, despite Jerry Lawler's calling.

 

That was Paul Wight's best match in a while.

 

If they were somewhere like Minnesota, Eddie G vs Chris B would have lots of heat. I'm surprised, I thought Floridian fans appreciate great wrestling. The demographics have sure changed.

 

I'm sorry, but HHH was slower than 1980's Harley Race, and he is supposed to be younger than Shawn. If he did some noh/kabuki-type acting and take time to look meanacingly at the audience between moves, then he would look much better with the deliberate offense. But that match was just plodder than plod.

 

That's what's missing in many the matches: Crowd interaction by the wrestlers during matches. They only do it for the spots, and that's when the crowd wakes up.

[Guest treble charged]

The women's match had a lot of blown spots and most of the time they didn't look like they knew what they were supposed to do in there.

 

Edge/Albert was decent for what it was up until the ending.

[Guest The Mighty Damaramu]

Umm......I dunno. I refuse to read anything on this website until you guys quit shilling it like Foley and his book. Do we really need a post dedicated to this!?

[Guest bob_barron]

That cage match was just awful- I felt bad for both guys cause I know they wanted to put on a classic but it just wasn't happening

[The Dames 0]

Jeez man, I shill it once a month. You really should give us a chance before you damn it all to hell.

[Guest The Mighty Damaramu]

Let me put it this way. It's not just you Dames. It's every writer for this site that feels the need to shill themselves like 2-bit whores everytime a show ends.

[Guest bob_barron]

::Damns it to hell::

 

With all the PPVs now done Dames you should do like a year end Diatribe or something

[Guest NYCTA Bus No. PA1767]

You know, Dames does own this board. So basically he can shill whatever the fuck he wants.

 

Dames, it was odd you said HHH got the biggest entrance pop. The people on the board said he got no heat whatsoever, which is believable. But then, this is TSM where HHHating is rampant.

[Guest bob_barron]

Umm.........no.

Ummm....why not just give the site a chance??? These guys work very hard to bring us some great content and all Dames was doing was asking for feedback so he can make the site even better.

HHH got pop when his music hit but I think BookDust winning got a bigger pop. Have to watch the tape again.

 

The crowd loved Brock

[Guest treble charged]

Whether you like him or not, HHH's entrance is an awesome visual and the crowd does like to see it.

[Guest The Mighty Damaramu]

I was posting on this board when it was owned by SK. When that site left but the board was still around I kept posting here. And I go over to 411wrestling for all the rants and reviews. I only have a connection to this board, not the site.

[Guest bob_barron]

At least you go to 411!

[The Dames 0]

I'm sure that it took Scott Keith a while to get noticed as a competent reviewer. All I'm trying to do is get the attention of the people who post here, seeing as how the majority are like yourself, Damaramu, who just came originally for the solely for the board.

 

However, with all of the publicity that we've been receiving lately (Jeremy Borash's plug, Tom Zenk plugging Teke, Tom, Retro Rob & myself cross posting over at other sites, such as LOP), I'd like to think that we're receiving the attention we deserve, slowly but surely.

 

Nothing wrong with helping it along.

Biggest pops was definately Brock coming out and Angle winning the title.

 

Dames, good review as always...but I think you shortchanged Benoit/Eddie. Sure it didn't have the fans support and we are sick of the match, but it was still a solid **** outing.

I was trying to emphasize in my diatribe that he got the biggest pop for his entrance compared to everyone else. If I didn't make that distinction properly, I apologize.

I don't see why fans of sick of that match...it's not Benoit/Angle hooking it up again. The match was great, but a lot of the mat work didn't go anywhere, IMO and Chavo's interference did hurt it as well.

 

The finish ruled the earth though.

Let me reword myself, if you don't mind.

 

We are all sick of the Smackdown Six wrestling each other. It's just gotten to the point the match don't mean as much. Sure, they can pull **** matches no problem and I'm not saying I don't like their wrestling...it's just that I'm sick of seeing them wrestle each other every show and on PPV. That's all.

 

True about the matwork and the interference...but I'd still give it the benefit of the doubt as ****.

I myself only do it because I get more feedback that way. I can see your point though.

[Guest blachuuh_monkey]

Take a star off the Women's match, half a star of of Edge vs A-Train, and add a half star to Eddy vs Benoit and everything alse is pretty good.

Just for the record. Although I'm tired of the Smackdown six wrestling each other every week I will never get tired of seeing Benoit vs Angle and there 1st ever World Title match against each other at the Rumble is going to be fucking great. Really good chance for Angle to have the 1st ***** match of his career.
