Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 11, 2002 the Strap match were the winner has to touch the 4 corners of the ring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shaved Bear Report post Posted April 11, 2002 id hate to sound like a mark of sorts, but were the lethal lottery matches predetermined or done on the fly, because they were all really bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tony149 Report post Posted April 11, 2002 id hate to sound like a mark of sorts, but were the lethal lottery matches predetermined or done on the fly, because they were all really bad Supposedly the first one in '91 wasn't predetermined. I think the ones in '92, '93, '96 & 2000 were booked in advance. Battlebowl is like the Royal Rumble, in order to have a good one, you need to book it carefully.

Guest WWF4Life Report post Posted April 11, 2002 I haven't seen a Stretcher match for ages...the last one was the Van Dam-Sabu one in ECW. What else? Dog Collar Chain...haven't seen one for a few years. Oh, and the Blindfold match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted April 12, 2002 I haven't seen a Stretcher match for ages...the last one was the Van Dam-Sabu one in ECW. What else? Mike Awesome has a few stretcher matches in WCW. It was part of his gimmick as the career killer, after Kanyon's bad taste fall in Kansas City. I believe he even had a stretcher match on PPV against DDP, which was the show where Kanyon was sitting on the stage for the match in a wheel chair and halo. Kanyon turned on DDP during that match giving Awesome the win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alfdogg Report post Posted April 12, 2002 "<<~~ YES!!!!!! I made it to the Big League!!!!!! Maybe, Storm can be jobbed out to me now." That's PLAGARISM, DAMMIT! lol I posted that in different wording on the WWF forum (who should be champion) somewhere when I got to Metal, too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Some Guy Report post Posted April 12, 2002 I miss teh War Games, WWF should do this for the Survivor Series ME this year. Strap matches were teh object is to pin, not touch all corners are cool, but require teh proper build up tio make sense, either the has to run away a lot leading ot the stip or they have to convince the fans that they have a huge hatred for wach other, like Sting/Vader. Plus they have to whip the shit out of each other, not pussy Hogan whippings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest krambigmac Report post Posted April 12, 2002 I actually miss the scaffold match but only the Midnights could really do those without crawling around. The Road Warriors did it pretty well with them but now, Hawk would fall off ala TitanTron. The Rock and Rolls must have been good but I never saw the Starrcade 87 match. However I did see the Bash 91 match and PN News had his best match there since he didn't move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 12, 2002 6 man tag team matches were fun to watch in the NWA/WCW days with Road Warriors & Dusty Rhodes vs Barbian & Warlord & Ivan Koloff no rope barbwire matches manager handcuff to the ring or suspended above the ring Clash of Champion 1 Flair vs Sting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted April 12, 2002 World War 3 was always a pretty cool event. Seeing three rings together and sixty men inside them is a pretty awesome visual. I watched the one from 96 last night where Savage won the title and it was pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Graveyard match was brutal, as was the Viagra on a Pole match. That said, the House of Pain match was a pretty good idea, as was the three cage War Games.

Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted April 13, 2002 [faarooq] damn [/faarooq] i totally forgot that they were ambulance matches. i think the object of the match was to put your opponent onto a stretcher and wheel him to the ambulance to be driven away.

Guest Report post Posted April 14, 2002 Nothing is better than the good old Hair vs Hair match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tony149 Report post Posted April 14, 2002 World War 3 was a clusterfuck. I liked the idea, and I liked the original WW3 in 1995, but the match is hard to see at home. Lots of jobbers. I always thought they should of added Battlebowl as the "newest" PPV instead of WW3. Battlebowl would of been cool to crown the new WCW Champ. Plus, the name "World War 3" would of been a perfect choice for the WWF vs. WCW PPV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mark4steamboat Report post Posted April 14, 2002 I agree Tony because it made a great visual but the camera angles kept screwing up when a ring emptied. The idea of3 differnent teams of announcers was an ok idea but Chris Cruise just sucks and Larry sounded like he would have much rather been in the ring than at the position. BTW, Im referring to the inagural WW3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sykotic2002 Report post Posted April 14, 2002 I never again want to see another Inferno Match or Buried ALive Match. Those are just horrible. I liked the Three Tier Cage, War Games, BattleBowl, Bunkhouse Stampede, Strecher Match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mark4steamboat Report post Posted April 14, 2002 inferno matches were just stupid. bunkhouse stampedes were awesome. the tower of doom was good at the GAB 88 and at Slamboree 99. not at uncensored 96 though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Drury37 Report post Posted April 14, 2002 How about a regular cage match in the blue cage.The blue cage just made it better.Does anybody notice that there hasn't been any good cage matches in like 5 years in the WWF.I always liked casket matches,too. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mark4steamboat Report post Posted April 15, 2002 Yeah the wwf mesh cages are too loose and to me theyre not realistic enough to cause blood. The blue cages were solid steel and could definitely cause blood b/c ive been nailed with a golf club while in PE and gushed like a fountain. Cages just arent what they used to be anymore.
