Guest JRE Report post Posted October 12, 2003 On Velocity, the rules were vaguely announced. A biker chain will be suspended above the ring, the first person to get it can use it to their advantage. They didn't make it clear if this was on a pole....or ladder match styles, although I assume the latter....the ladder. Hmph. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 I was thinking the chain was on a pole. And you don't win the match when get the chain, you just get to use it when you obtain it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 Lesnar and Taker care capable of having a decent straight-up match, so of course the WWE has to overcomplicate things with a stupid gimmick that will only serve to hinder the match. Ladder or Pole match, either way it won't be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 Man, a "(Insert Stipulation Here) on a Pole Match" is soooooo not suited for a WWE championship match. It screams midcard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted October 12, 2003 Alright, I'm conviced that they are trying to make this show as horrid as Bad Blood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 There's no way they will be able to top HIAC from last year. The stipulation is so lame though, it would've been better if it was just a CHAIN match like HHH / Kane 2 years ago. At least, that was entertaining to some degrees.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 12, 2003 Why couldn't they do a Dog Collar Type Match then? Nope Pole/Ladder with two guys not really great at climbing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted October 12, 2003 *awaits impending return of coalminer's glove* That was EXACTLY what came to mind last Tuesday when I first read about the match. And I ask again, why not just make it no-DQ? SK was right, Taker has never been identified with a chain before. Oh, and they've FINALLY added some of the other matches at the No Mercy website, along with this match and THE REAL MAIN EVENT (there's no rationalizing around this one, it's been blatantly obvious), which were the only 2 matches listed there for weeks. A piss poor effort by the website people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 A Dog Collar match would be SO much better. Anyways, since this is the unofficial Velocidental thread, I gotta say I marked out for the Rhyno-ECW footage and hearing Joey Styles again. And Tazz and Josh fucking rule. That is all.

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 Long. Slow. Boring. All good adjectives for the entire Edge/Regal feud. I blame Edge mostly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 Considering Regal was on the majority of the offence for the Edge v. Regal series (except for the awesome RAW match) it's absurd to blame Edge if you didn't like those matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 Regal's offense isn't what killed the feud for me. I rather like Regal's offense. What killed me was how out of place Edge is in almost every match unless his opponent (which is why matches with Angle and Eddy are his only REAL good stuff) completely adapts to Edge's weird style of moving super fast on offense and SUPER SLOW on defense. That Edge face of trying to get to the ropes makes a minute feel like an hour...and is then immediately followed up by runnign aroung the ring and leaping around.

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted October 12, 2003 we're totally off topic now, but I always get a laugh out of Edge trying to get across what unbearable, torturous pain he's in by pulling his hair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 The story of the matches was Regal trying to ground and pound Edge down via any means necessary with Edge trying to come back using anything he possibly can (Hence the flashy offence) I fail to see how Edge is out of place in almost every match he's in. The guy's gotten good matches out of people like Test and Edge. Even though I love Regal- I felt so bad for Edge. The NWO match just made him look like a buffoon.

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 Part of the problem is that Edge is roughly 3 inches too tall for his moveset...making everything look "funny". His facial expressions are the worst in the history of the business. He did have a real good match with Test and another one with Storm...but those are the exceptions and not the rule. If anything those were succesful because we weren't subjected to the Edge slow methodical "Edge in peril" crap that drags his other matches down. Both the Test and Storm match were fast paced, big move after big move matches that worked beautifully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
