Guest Human Highlight Reel Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 When was the last time Cannon was even on TV? I honestly don't remember. Yesterday.
TheFranchise Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Yeah, he didn't let The Miz in the building.
Silence Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Yeah, he didn't let The Miz in the building. "Hooraaaahh!" One of the worst catchphrases ever.

DrVenkman PhD Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Why are people assuming the May 1st Raw is having that main event televised? How many years now has the local advertising been saying what the dark match main event will be?
DrVenkman PhD Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Internet Heat has tax tips from IRS and 123 Kid vs. Razor Ramon ($10,000 challenge). Velocity has King of the Ring stuff.
daileyxplanet Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 I only watch the internet shows when there's a supershow.
spman Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Hrmm, The Moeny INC vs Natural Disasters Title Change is actually pretty decent. Good tag work with Money Inc keeping Typhoon isolated, and good psychology with the continuous Sleeper Holds.
claydude14 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 I've always dreamed of Mark Henry gracing the cover of a Wrestlemania DVD.
Guest hasbeen Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 What exactly does "better than it had any right to be" mean? If it means the wrestlers or teams normally wouldn't put on a good match, fine, but those words make it sounds like the wrestlers or teams should only be in "1 or 2 star" matches because they're creeping up the ratings of internet favorites.
Jingus Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Usually BTIHARTB means just what it sounds like, that the match shouldn't have had a chance of being as good as it turns out to be. Sometimes that means a match that should've sucked being decent (like, Kane vs. Albert) or it could be a match that should've been just average turning out to be great (Hogan vs. Rock).
haws bah gawd Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 What exactly does "better than it had any right to be" mean? It means that on paper, the match seemed like it would suck, but it turned out to be surprisingly good. A good example of this is the Big Show vs Viscera World Title match from late 1999 on RAW. For the love of all that is holy, track this down and give it a watch. 2 overweight (Show was at least 50-60 lbs lighter than he is now, though) hosses clicking and putting on a very entertaining match. It's worth watching just to see Big Show bust out a missle dropkick. *** 1/2 easily. 2 honorable mentions involve Jeff Hardy: 1 - Chris Jericho carried him to a ****, 15+ minute match on Raw in February 2003 2 - He and Undertaker tore the fucking house down in their World Title Ladder Match on Raw in Summer 2002
Guest hasbeen Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Thanks. I usually try to go into a match or show without having good or bad expectations, without considering if this match will be bad and that one will be good, just judging them after for what they were.
Placebo Effect Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 I only watch the internet shows when there's a supershow. You've missed out on a lot of *** 1/2 Snitsky matches.
Lord of The Curry Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Usually BTIHARTB means just what it sounds like, that the match shouldn't have had a chance of being as good as it turns out to be. Sometimes that means a match that should've sucked being decent (like, Kane vs. Albert) or it could be a match that should've been just average turning out to be great (Hogan vs. Rock). If Kane hadn't pulled out the Worlds Worst Hurricanrana nobody would even remember that match with A-Train.
CanadianChick Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 I love it when taller guys/bigger guys do hurricaranas or flying headscissors. I remember back in '02 when Edge and Rey teamed up all the time, they'd do stereo moves like all tag teams do, and I'd always giggle when Edge would do a flying headscissors at the same time as Rey. It wasn't bad, just soooo awkward. And it took longer to do because he was so much taller than Rey (at least a foot taller I think).
Lord of The Curry Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 I love it when moves are done well.
CanadianChick Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Grumpy pants. It's not that the move isn't done well, it's that it's done a lot differently than how most do it because of the person's (in this case, Edge's back in '02) size.
Lord of The Curry Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 I can understand the camp value of somebody big doing a move usually reserved for smaller guys- I just have a problem when the move is as brutally business-exposing as that one is.
CanadianChick Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 How is it business exposing? It's not like Edge, at the time, was this big hulking guy who never took air. Now I can see the Kane thing, but I really think you're using a bad example for "business exposing".
Lord of The Curry Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Why didn't Albert just powerbomb him instead of CLEARLY HELPING KANE INTO POSITION?

I ain't defending that one. Then again, it's been a bit since I've seen that Kane/Albert match.
AndrewTS Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 I just have a problem when the move is as brutally business-exposing as that one is. A Hurricanrana is business-exposing, period.
Lord of The Curry Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 If it's done quick enough they can look good but yes, as a rule they are. Very few guys can pull them off and have them look not contrived (Sasuke, Liger, Eddy)

haws bah gawd Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 Nothing is more 'business-exposing' than one of the oldest moves in the book; the irish whip.
Adam Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 ^ Exactly. The Irish Whip defies logic. Walk up to any person you see in the street, grab their left arm and try and throw them against a wall. Unless you're doing it to a midget, its not gonna happen. Now, conversely, if one were to jump up onto anothers shoulders and use their momentum to take the other over, then its more likely to succeed.
David Blazenwing Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 From the Itatly tour - guess they forgot the US title? Is that a Tag Title belt? Shame WWE took the picture off their website, but this is really nothing unusual. At a WCW houseshow I attended around 1998 or so, when DDP was the U.S. Champion, he came out wearing the Television Title. I have a picture of this at my house somewhere. I will try to remember to scan it. I went to a RAW house show in Early 2004 two weeks before the Rumble... Flair and Batista defended the tag belts against the Dudleyz and Flair came out wearing Orton's IC title, while Bats had his tag belt. I always thought that was funny (and apparantly, a sign of things to come...?)
