Guest Kingpk Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 If the subject is Wrestlemania and MSG, why not pick Bret/Owen from X? I know Sheik/Backlund was historical for the finish, but Bret/Owen was a classic.
Guest Choken One Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Isnt Backlund due for another Apperence by now? When was the last time we saw him? Wasn't they headed towards that Angle is Backlunds son angle or something?
Lil' Bitch Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Bruno Sammartino's reign back about 20 years earlier lasted from 1963-1971 Holy shit!
ChrisMWaters Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Funny how Hogan fought the Shiek and won the title from him because Backlund couldn't do the match = P I think the funnier Hogan thing was that he was in a tournament in Japan and was scheduled to lose in the finals to Antonio Inoki...but Inoki got KO'd out of the ring and Hogan won by default.
Guest Kingpk Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Backlund was coaching Angle in 2000, but turned on him at Mania when he revealed he made the triple threat match for both titles.
Guest Choken One Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 If the subject is Wrestlemania and MSG, why not pick Bret/Owen from X? I know Sheik/Backlund was historical for the finish, but Bret/Owen was a classic. Unless it's Montreal...Bret gets NO air time and LIKES it.
LaParkaYourCar Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 That was a pretty sweet reversal by Backlund. Not the backslide one, but the one before it.
Guest HartFan86 Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Good selling by Backlund...but I'm literally yawning sitting here in my seat. And I've never seen this match, other then the finish. Boring.
ChrisMWaters Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 ...I miss the Sheik's pointed-toed boots... And anytime now a towel will come flying...there it went.
Lil' Bitch Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Backlund was coaching Angle in 2000, but turned on him at Mania when he revealed he made the triple threat match for both titles. Backlund got a taste of his own move, the Crossface Chickenwing, from Angle for doing that.
Guest Choken One Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Im digging this old school match here... This is like Angle/Lesnar considering the time peoriod...
Guest Lil Naitch Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Different time, different era HeartFan, although I agree with you.
Guest papacita Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 That finish sucked. I figured Backlund would've been in the hold a little longer before he threw the towel in.
Guest HartFan86 Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Jesus Christ...SLAMBALL IS STILL ON THE AIR? Who the fuck watches that show?
Guest HartFan86 Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 I appreciate and usually like the older WWWF-WWF stuff (Bruno), but Sheik is just boring.
Guest Lil Naitch Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 I don't. On to computer game for me now. Later all.
Guest Kingpk Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 One good thing came out of that, Backlund's AWESOME heel turn in 1995(?). Really good continuity there when Backlund snapped on Arnold and put the chickenwing on him.
Guest Kingpk Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Right, right. I couldn't remember what year his matches with Bret was.
Guest INXS Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 One good thing came out of that, Backlund's AWESOME heel turn in 1995(?). Really good continuity there when Backlund snapped on Arnold and put the chickenwing on him. Thank Bret Hart for making that work then Kevin Nash and the kliq for stealing Bob's heat.
Guest Eagan469 Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 ^ That PPV sucked dude, it had Chuck Norris
Lil' Bitch Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 it had Chuck Norris Okay, but overall it sucked. JJ getting kicked by Norris was hilarious.
Guest JMA Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 I didn't think the Sheik/Backlund match was boring. Sure, maybe compared to today's matches it could be seen as boring. But the match was crisp and clean (with no caffeine) It had a lot of psychology and no blown spots.
Lil' Bitch Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Shiek was a great heel, I miss that bald bastard!
