bob_barron 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 A feud we all knew Styles was gonna win The fact remains that even though AJ won- D-Lo was heavily protected and was made to look very strong. As for the tag team thing, well since, AMW are protected in the promotion (and bitch and complain when they have to job, and painfully average wrestlers, and, in Storm's case, just plain weird looking) Yeah, I'm sure D-lo felt great about that. Whats he doing now....teaming with Crash Holly and the Village Idiot? I'm sure he's quite happy seeing how he is making more money then he would have in WWE. As for HHH/HBK, it wqas the most well written feud of 2002 Yea- The feud was so well written that the crowd was just on fire throughout their 38 minute snoozefest at Armageddon. The feud started out okay but it just died at the end. Name one match Jarrett had, in the WWE, where he wasnt carried, that was over *** Fully Loaded 98 v. Val Venis Summerslam 98 v.

Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist Report post Posted October 18, 2003 I seriously doubt you've ever watch the promotion and just base your opinions off of a few recaps. Kazaa You can hate Jarrett all you want but the man is a good worker. But HHH is better, which SOME people just cant accept. I'll say it again, nothing ur precious Jarrett has done since 2001 has touched the ***** HHH and HBK got for Summerslam 2002 At least Jarrett is putting his own money into the product It's not his money, its a bunch of money marks' cash Raven IS NOT BEING BURIED. His feud has gotten the most airtime, the most hype and the most heat from the crowd. He's the #1 face in the company for God's sake If he's the number 1 face in the company, then why isnt he feuding with Jarrett. I'm tempted to blame Hogan but i dont mind him feuding with Jarrett because the result isnt in question Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist Report post Posted October 18, 2003 I don't know- I think the money that D-Lo is making is causing him to not mind so much. I'd mind Watch the match- Edge did not carry Jarrett there. Edge wasn't even that good back then. From my own personal Hero, SK, here's a rant - Opening match, Intercontinental title: Edge v. Jeff Jarrett. Feels good to put Edge's name in that one first. Best reason to get WWF PPVs: Debra only wears the really GOOD outfits there. Edge and JJ do a token wrestling sequence while crowd chants for puppies. Edge gets a two count off a rolling cradle and a sunset flip from the second rope. Jarrett decides to walk, but gets back in before the ten-count. Jarrett takes control as Lawler moves from the puppy jokes to the more untapped territory of beaver jokes. *sigh*. Edge twists his knee and Jarrett goes to work. Edge blocks the figure-four and gets two, but gets rammed into the ringpost, allowing JJ a single-arm DDT. Jarrett gets a sleeper, and Edge breaks, but gets flapjacked coming off the ropes for a two count. Another sleeper from Jarrett, eventually reversed by Edge, and he cradles for a two count. Sunset flip gets two. They collide in the corner and Edge does Sting's HEADBUTT TO THE GROIN OF DOOM spot for a double KO and a two count. Edge gets a leg lariat and a neckbreaker, but misses something off the top. He recovers with a small package for two. Tornado DDT coming out of the corner, but Jarrett tosses him out of the ring when he goes for the spear. Lights out, and Gangrel attacks Edge on the outside. Bloodbath fails, however, and we see Gangrel out on the floor. Back in the ring and Edge rolls through a bodypress for two. Edge reverses a sunset flip for two. Dropkick reversed into a powerbomb for two. Spear, but Debra is on the apron. Edge knocks her off by accident, Gangrel attacks, and Jarrett hits the forward russian legsweep for the pin and his fifth IC title, which is of course a new record. Time: 13:20. Hey, kids, Edge just carried his first match! *** Jarrett gloats, only to get destroyed by Steve Austin, who is royally pissed off. Edge just carried his first match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist Report post Posted October 18, 2003 He still carried the match, it says so right there And, i mean jesus, when youre been carried by Edge (who fucking Eddie Guerrero had a hard time with, for god's sake), you may need to rethink the whole 1985 Memphis obsessed way JJ Wrestles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted October 18, 2003 What is SK some gawd that knows everything about wrestling. Geez pull your head out of the sand and stop letting some recapper form your opinion for you. And actually watch whole shows of TNA before you start making your broad generalizations.

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 He still carried the match, it says so right there 1) That's SK's viewpoint. 2) Have you seen the match yourself? 3) SK's admitted that he was fully loaded himself recapping 1999 PPVs. And, i mean jesus, when youre been carried by Edge (who fucking Eddie Guerrero had a hard time with, for god's sake), Yea- Edge and Eddy only had two MOTYC in the span of a week. you may need to rethink the whole 1985 Memphis obsessed way JJ Wrestles Is that because Memphis booking=money, heat and the other good things that you want to achieve in pro wrestling?

BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 I really don't give a fuck if Jarrett holds the title. For one without him there wouldn't be a TNA to talk about at all and secondly, there really isn't anyone more deserving of being a main eventer at the moment. There is Raven, but I have a feeling they are saving the Jarrett/Raven rematch until after Hogan gets done. The whole reason he stopped feuding with it is because the Mitchell feud took him off path to try and end him. Once he finishes the feud and finally gets revenge on Mitchell and takes him out I think we will get Raven/Jarrett again only this time with Raven as the face and Jarrett as the heel. This is when I think Raven will finally fulfill his destiny and become NWA champion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted October 18, 2003 Damn straight, remember back in 2000, and the Iron Man, and at the same time, Jarrett was in the triple cage match, which blew (against DDP, whom its physically impossible to have a bad match with) That cage match was awesome- Probably the best match WCW had in 2000. You can hate Jarrett all you want but the man is a good worker. The ME at Slamboree was okay? Umm, if you think so. Horrid match it was. JJ is a mediocre worker. He's not BAD. He isn't GOOD. He's AVERAGE. He surely is not somebody I'd have as a main eventer. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dvkorn Report post Posted October 18, 2003 I think the reason why more people HHHate that they do with Jarrett is because.... 1. WWE is a much more widely known company... Therefore more fans etc.. you get what i am saying... 2. Half of the JArrett hate that is around (and in 1inch punch's case, all) is complete and utter bullshit.... it is just people making assumptions that Jarrett is doing this and that because he has power.... Jarrett was pinned by Julio Dinero because (now, i am assuming) he thought it would further build up the Jarrett/Raven feud... I think it did... Jarrrett getting pinned by one of Raven's gathering due to Raven... When TNA started Jarrett was probably TNA's largest name.... And to not keep your biggest name strong is something that is just downright stupid... especially a company where Jarrett was basically the only name apart from Hall for a while and Shamrock... And he still is one of the only names in the company... and they have built up Styles, Raven and made numerous other move up in the rankings... but to not keep Jarrett strong is still just plain stupid... And whether people like it or not.... Jarrett is a good worker.... one of the best on the TNA roster.... while i think his memphis southern style is not for everyone... he is excellent at it... Jarrett has had many awesome matches... I think i said this not long ago on here but his 1st title match Vs Killings was excellent and i don't think Killings carried that one did he.... I could probably come up with numerous other matches that have been excellent with Jarrett in it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tommytomlin 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 Back to the Jarrett/Trips thing, I think it's pretty simple. Jarrett is a face. Triple H is a heel. As a face, Jarrett is meant to WIN feuds. Triple H, as a heel, is meant to ultimately lose them. Name one feud Triple H has lost in the last three years (remember he's only been a face for 6 months since 2000). The only problem I have with Jarrett is his occassional super-hero saves on TNA. I have no problem with the results of his feuds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted October 18, 2003 Wow...Hogan/Rock was WORSE than HBK/HHH in storylines? Hogan/Rock = Legend vs. verge of Legend status at the biggest show of the year. HHH/HBK: HHH taking up a whole Raw looking for HBK's attacker, and revealing it to be himself. How fucking original. Actually, I'd agree with 1inch here. The crowd going batshit for Hogan destroyed the "passing of the torch" thing. And Hogan tried to KILL ROCK WITH AN AMBULANCE. HBK/HHH had a tremendous build, and one of the best moments of 2002 on RAW: When HBK ran down to the ring and started whipping ass, tell me you didn't cheer.

The only feud he SHOULD have lost, really, is Jericho and Angle --- and those were in 2000. Two bad ones --- but by and large, he is stuck in the ring with slugs. I mean, you want him to job to Scott Steiner? Kevin Nash? Heck, much as I love Booker T, he isn't exactly a world-beater.

Jarrett, despite his numerous faults, is a good worker. We'll have to disagree --- mightily --- on that match. The match was a jumbled mess. Just punch, kick, weapon shot set on a structure that just didn't lend itself to good work. The only memorable part of the match was Kanyon's bump --- and it wasn't that great, honestly. It was worse than any HITC outside of Bossman v UT (Kennel From Hell isn't the same thing --- is it?) Heck, Arquette's presence as the defending champ --- and that he "let" JJ win --- really knocked the weak match that much farther down. Expecting nothing doesn't really make a match good. If you expect a decent match --- which I did before seeing the tape --- it comes across as much less good than it was. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you book a feud called: White guy doesn't think black people are good enough and the white man wins- that does nothing for nobody Seeing as Booker was sidelined within about 2 months with a back injury --- it's not a huge stretch to assume that some in the WWE were aware that the back was going to become a problem real soon. And, much as I hate to say it, Booker doesn't exactly have a library of great matches to make me say "Hey, let's give HIM the gold" -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
