I think Bret Hart is going based on his personal experiences in WWF. If we only seen Ric Flair past 40 I'm sure alot of us would still think he was very good but if we never seen him in the NWA , JCP, Mid-Atlantic , touring world champion and before working the territories then we would have missed out on alot of his best work. That would be like judging 90% of 70s and 80s wrestlers based on their WWF run. The TV style , the schedule and Vinces quirks are all things that play a roll in limiting a wrestlers abilities
We’ve definitely talked about this before. Flair’s pinnacle was 1984 or so, not 1989 even though he was still really freaking great while also having really freaking great opponents. In 1984 he was carrying Dusty, Ronnie, Hawk who he wrestled a lot somehow. Even Harley Race, which is not a knock. That’s why Harley finally handed off to Flair for good. If I had to pick the 10 best Ric Flair matches for just wrestling, or work if I’m talking to Bret Hart, I’m picking nothing from any Starrcade that made all that money. I’m probably not even picking a Steamboat match unless there’s an older one somewhere that’s better. I haven’t gotten around to watching their older matches.

I have the best childhood memories of that show because it’s the first wrestling tape we ever rented, but I have never watched it as an adult. So while I have very good memories of the show, they don’t really go together or make sense of some kind of wrestling ppv that I can evaluate. I might as well be evaluating something else I’ve never seen ever.

I know Bret and Flair have went back and forth back and forth but in 1 interview that I can’t find again Bret said he didn’t get to watch much other wrestling as a professional wrestler so when Flair came to the WWF he was happy to finally see him wrestle after everything he’d heard and was not only let down but…well you know. I think that’s all there was to it and all the personal stuff that followed was just 2 old wrestlers being 2 old wrestler at each other. I love Ric Flair and have and will continue to defend him but crisp technical offensive showcases weren’t going on with him in 1992. They hadn’t been for a long time. I don’t think Bret ever knew how limited Flair was by then, even though he’d still been in a ton of great matches because of other things he was great at. He thought that was just him and it had always been.

I thought he was out of bounds, but because they ruled it a catch I thought it would stay a catch. That was probably the closest correct overturn I’ve ever seen.

The false starts on the tackles needed to be dealt with tbh. The Chiefs will pull away with this one soon IMO. I could be wrong. If I’m not I don’t think we’ve seen the last of the Ravens. They’re running basic ass plays for some reason. If the reason is just because it’s week 1 then we definitely haven’t seen the last of them IMO.

O no not Cris Collinsworth!!!

I love postprime HBK just because he could freaking do all that stuff at his age. And the storyline they pulled off with the UT matches. Only he could do that.

Back on topic. I posted that without reading the thread late yesterday. I choose The Rock and Cena for reasons already given and reasons I’ve gave before. Early Steve Austin, as Jarrett and Farooq so gracefully pointed out, is another one because all he did was say ass over and over. That was the cheapest pop of them all, overshadowed only by the others that involved blood and shit. SCSA grew on me though because he expanded on the whole thing and I realized that he deserves respect for coming up with a cheap pop that didn’t almost kill somebody like others did.

I’m looking forward to the Jets vs the 49ers because I’m still the same fool I was in 1998. No matter how many times I was let down on a Monday night I always came back for more and it’s no different here lol the truth is they’re trying to recapture last year’s hype for Rodgers as a Jet and it so won’t happen, even though all he seemingly has to do is play the whole game compared to last year. Either the Jets win and it stays in week 1 for forever like last year, and like Rodgers beating a team in year’s past, or the 49ers just bash their skulls in while the announcers scramble for excuses that they didn’t make for Zach Wilson.
The 49ers and Bills have been the funnest teams to me by far. I could see the Bills losing a step. They lost so many people. They did seem like they learned that they can’t just put it all on Allen so if they’ve worked hard to get ready with the new guys maybe they will still contend.
-
I could see a 2 loss team making the playoffs easy almost, especially as times goes on. If only that meant FSU wouldn’t lose any more I’d just feel great about it
. That game was exactly 1 hair of a tier above Willie Taggart level ball. The only thing we didn’t do yesterday was forget basic rules like we did with Taggart that time the WRs kept lining up off the line without asking the ref.
-
We were always climbing back under Norvell, and the worst loss in our history that most people don’t even remember, didn’t stop us. We only got the portal whore reputation this year. It’s since kind of attached itself to his whole time here. In any event this is what it got us.
-
Our backup is not the most gifted athlete but he played the whole UGA game and he didn’t wince. He’s better than this guy for that reason alone. This dude is shook big time.
-
The tipped one was way to hot. That’s why it flew the way it did. It still almost made it. Had it not been tipped it might have broke the goal post.

Everybody always judges the quarterback when he makes a mistake and the truth is it’s rarely his fault. You don’t realize it until you see something like this that when a quarterback does make a mistake it comes under some kind of pressure or confusion. He’s planting his foot, throwing the ball, extending cleanly and missing. The only 3 guys I’ve ever seen actually do that are Kaep, Sanchez and Jamarcus Russell. This is bad.

Get the Gee Dee first down no Jimbo Shanahan nonsense
-
I didn’t see whatever gave BC the ball back the time before but otherwise DJ U is not missing the passes. What he’s doing is sending them too hot for anybody to catch because he’s so shook. Jeeze Mike Ditka couldn’t catch those.
EDIT: those short ones I mean
-
I missed it wtf happened
-
Put a guy on the dang RB for heck’s sake. And the other dumpoff man who had the only other catch that drive. We can afford to do that since we’re getting a little pressure up the middle.
-
It’s a post Bobby Bowden tradition. Good skill players with no OL to protect them. Even at our best last year and under Jimbo on the cakewalk schedules it was a thing.
-
Haha dang I needed that because I hate that smug turd. My Seminoles might be about to go 0-2 and I just need to put out there now that I’m very aware before I start with some excuses. I personally just ain’t feeling it this year. Seems like every ranked team that didn’t play Furman or Temple lost. And how is Lane Kiffin the only coach left out of all the coaches we knew??? I know he’s the youngest one probably but
-
I thought Texas A&M fired Jimbo

It’s not something we say for dramatic effect - Bischoff really only cared about being Hogan’s friend above all else.

He was always wrestling different people but the most available matches aren’t really the best. Dusty, Harley, I said Ronnie even though that was way later in 1987 but still. Even though the Steamboat matches have always been out there, they seem like they were out there from least to best. It was the Spring Stampede 94 tape that was in retail stores back in the day.
