Guest teke184 Report post Posted January 20, 2003 For those of you who don't want to send e-mails, you can feel free to ask questions or make comments here on each week's shoot. While the Orndorff shoot is featured this week, don't feel limited to posting on it. Just make sure you identify which shoot you are talking about if you choose to discuss a different one.

Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted January 21, 2003 I haven't kept up with them mainly because I haven't been interested in the people past Sytch and Hyatt but they own me. Everyone read them or I'll throw pebbles at your window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2003 Your Orndorff shoot interview left out one thing that I was looking for....I expected him to be asked about the Mike Sanders situation, where he pretty much fired him, only for Russo to hire him back within days and put him on TV. Then again, after reading the shoot, seems like Orndorff was down on Sanders for his lack of size. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest teke184 Report post Posted January 21, 2003 The name Sanders never came up in the interview. He only plugged the hosses like Jindrak, O'Haire, Johnny the Bull, Palumbo, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 22, 2003 Orndorff really came across as a total shitbag in that recap. I've dug most of the shoot recaps I've read so far. It's subject matter where actually bothering to get the tape isn't so necessary, unless there's a classic match on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted January 22, 2003 I've enjoyed all the reviews teke. They're one of my favourite articles at tsm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest teke184 Report post Posted January 23, 2003 Tell that to an old-school fan who wrote me and bitched me out for my comments about Orndorff. He felt that I was applying the my opinions about wrestling today to the style and beliefs of old-school workers, was disrespectful to people who'd never read what I have said, that I trash anyone who doesn't like today's wrestling, etc. He can think what he wants but I believe he's totally missed the boat on the last one if he's ever heard what Jim Cornette, one of my favorite people in the business, thinks about the product today. The big difference between Cornette and Orndorff (the WWE's trainer vs. WCW's trainer) is that Cornette is tolerant of the current style even though he doesn't like it very much. I feel that it is reflected in the success of the OVW graduates vs. the Power Plant graduates in the business today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sassquatch Report post Posted January 23, 2003 I never truly realized just how full of shit Orndorff is when someone brings up the Vader fight today with him. What Paul said in the video goes against anything that has ever been written and discussed about the situation in which Orndorff himself had admitted to a totally different story a couple months after the fight had happened. Overall it was a fun read and your Shoot Reviews are one of the few things I read on the main page Teke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cynicalprofit Report post Posted January 23, 2003 I've enjoyed all the reviews teke. They're one of my favourite articles at tsm Holy Crap. Bob and I agree. Seriously, I love the shoot reviews. This is like the only place that does them and it dose one every week, so thats even cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EI Cubano Report post Posted January 24, 2003 The shoot reviews kick all kind of ass, it's tough to write anything these days that 8 million people aren't already doing and you nailed this one pretty well Teke. If I was the type to enjoy embarassing myself I might mention that I upload them to my PDA to read in class but I'm not...oh wait. Orndorff comes across like a complete jackoff in the interview, especially for a guy who always came across as EXTREMELY overrated in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sassquatch Report post Posted January 24, 2003 Orndorff was a reliable worker but he wasn't anything special to write home about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Some Guy Report post Posted January 28, 2003 Teke, you should do the Vader shoot (if you have it). He gives his side of the fight. He said that he basically let Orndorf hit him a few times and then laid him out and Meng broke it up. It was over Orndorf being a dickhead to Vader. Vader's shoot has some very good matches as well, but it was done in 98 so it's a little out dated. BTW, I really like your work. The shoots are way too expensive for me to buy so it's nice to have a free way of finding out what various wrestlers have to say. Keep up the good work.

Guest teke184 Report post Posted January 28, 2003 I would do Vader's shoot, but my copy is a little... unusual. Considering that I would want to break an 8-hour shoot down into two 4-hour halves, it would be a pain to do it because my copy has 6 hours on one tape and 2 hours on another. Same deal with Bam Bam Bigelow. The Nova shoot will be up within the hour. Next week's will be the Million Dollar Man himself, Ted Dibiase, and the week after's shoot will be with Ken Shamrock unless I can dig up a better one.

Guest DrTom Report post Posted January 28, 2003 Brandon, I'd be happy to help you with your fantasy football team when the time comes. It was hard watching Rich Gannon do so poorly in the Super Bowl: he was my first pick in the money league (we can keep 2 players, and I already had a RB and WR), and ended up as the #1 rated fantasy QB. He got me a few wins just by going loco on a few shoddy defenses. Anyway, my team faced the wrong opponent in the semifinal round, and I had to settle for fourth (I scored the 2nd most points that week, and happened to face the chap who scored the most... and it wasn't even close). My 2 keepers next year, as it stands now, will be Gannon and Shaun Alexander. As for the recap, excellent, as always. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest teke184 Report post Posted February 11, 2003 Any comments on the Shamrock or Dibiase shoots? Post them here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Some Guy Report post Posted February 12, 2003 Dibiase's was great, Shamrocks was as good as it could have been given the interview. Oh yeah, do Sid's if you have it. The copy I have is really bad quality and so is most of what I can make out of what he has to say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest teke184 Report post Posted February 13, 2003 I've got Sid's set aside along with Lance Storm's and a few others, which is a problem because I'm trying to pick stuff for each week based on the 10-12 I have set aside and whatever comes in the mail. That's why I'm posting a poll in this folder to help me choose the shoots that I'll do after I post the Ricky Morton, Tony Atlas, and Rey Misterio shoots.
