Guest Kingpk Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 Well, everyone else does it, so I might as well plug my Backlash 1999 review here. And, before you tell me, I know I made a mistake in the Hardcore match. Billy Gunn was the champ at Wrestlemania and Holly won it there. I still can't find my XV tape, so I may just skip to Wrestlemania 2000 next.
Guest bob_barron Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 Good review Kingpk. I also did a review of it at 411. ::cheap plug: I agreed with most of your star ratings except I thought you underrated Rock v. Austin
Guest papacita Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 I liked it...my only complaint is that you didn't talk enough about Chyna. Shame on you.
Guest HartFan86 Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 Good review....but you mean 4 years....not 5. Right?
Guest Kingpk Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 Yeah, yeah, I meant 4. Bob - I just thought it had too much brawling near the entrance and into the crowd (which I HATE). They did a much better brawl at X-7 (which I did at Smark Talk, but I'm going to redo for TSM, since that version isn't that good, and just want an excuse to watch it again). Update: I can't find Wrestlemania XV, so I'm going to do No Mercy 2001 next, then Wrestlemanias 2000 - X-8.
Guest bob_barron Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 I understand- that was pretty much how they did them back in the day so I didn't really mind it. I look forward to No Mercy 2001- Just bought that show on dvd
Guest HartFan86 Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 Yeah, yeah, I meant 4. Okay, good....I was going to say if it was 5 years, then life is going way to fast.
Guest converge241 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 Another show i attended live Providence Civic Center Owen's last ppv match much better than WM that year
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 That show had some fun stuff on it, DEFINITELY better than WM XV, which was a suckfest. Still, it didn't have anything that stands out as blow-away stuff to me. Rock/Austin was fun as usual, I'd call it ***1/4-***1/2ish. Their X-7 match blows away both this one and their XV match, though. Man, 99 was such a forgettable year...NOTHING really stands out at all for me. X-Pac/Jericho from Unforgiven was pretty decent, as were the Rock/Foley encounters. Hardyz/E&C was innovative and good shit later in the year, but other than that...blech.
Guest Zack Malibu Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 Another show i attended live Providence Civic Center Owen's last ppv match much better than WM that year I was there live as well. I was the kid with the "X PUNK" written over his DX Jersey a la Shane O' Mac. Good show, loved the Rock/Austin match. Of course that event started the "soap opera endings" for us ("Where to, Stephanie...)
Guest converge241 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 if you were coming out of the entrance i was to the left 1st loge section me and my friends had a hell of a worked match in the stands with quite a crowd (and yes i do realize thats stupid but I let my hair down when i attend a wrestling event in person)
