  1. I'm up to the first loss on the Goldberg set and so far, I've probably seen 3 pretty solid matches.  First was the Sting match where Sting was getting visibly frustrated after Goldberg kept no-selling his stuff.  Goldberg was really booked as an unstoppable force by the end of this match.  The emotion on Sting's face told the whole story and put over Goldberg good.  Too bad good ol' Hulk came in and cost Sting the match, even though it was a decent way to protect Sting.

     

    Second was the DDP match which was phenomenal and the best Goldberg match so far.  DDP really wanted to take down Goldberg and he gave him everything he had including the diamond cutter.  No run-ins on this and just a clean story of DDP trying to be the first guy to beat the beast.

     

    The Nash match was decent until the overbooked finish even though Goldberg took a lot more offense than his previous matches.  Unlike others, I don't mind the cattle prod idea.  I think it makes it seem that the only way Nash could win was to do that but of course the announcers didn't stress that thought at all.  I could see the reasoning behind keeping the streak going at this point though.  Also, the fact that the loss could have easily made someone new although I'm not sure who in WCW had momentum at this point to be taken serious against Goldberg. 

     

    After watching this stuff plus old Nitros, I'm really sick and tired of both Nash and Hogan.  It's been said before but they're both self-serving and in business for only themselves and it's evident from the booking from 94-98.

    I'm probably one of a few who wanted to watch Jericho/Guerrero v. The Faces of Fear just because of Meng and the Barbarian. 

     

    Wait, what?  Are you new here?

     

     

    Well, now that I think about it, the reason why I started at DVDVR was that old Barbarian thread way back in the day.  I guess I just assumed there was still only a minority that liked him :(

  3. I'm probably one of a few who wanted to watch Jericho/Guerrero v. The Faces of Fear just because of Meng and the Barbarian.  This was a thing of beauty.  Jericho got murdered for his heat segment.  Meng tossed him backwards and Barbarian fucking caught him, almost dropped him, and powerbombed him to hell.  Barbarian did an awesome superplex where just chucked Jericho.  Everyone worked their asses off and this is a match you must see. 

  4. Maybe you guys can help me out.  I'm trying to do some research on Capitol Wrestling/WWWF and I'm trying to find Capitol results, specifically MSG results.  I've got a shit load of old results/cards from Karl Stern.  I can barely find any MSG cards prior to 1963 on those.  Does anyone know of any other places that might have results/cards lists like this?

  5. The main was a pretty damn good match and everyone worked really fucking hard.  I wish Cody showed more fire in the hot tag though.  He's starting to show me that while he is solid, he's not anything above that.

     

    Also, I can't help but wonder why it's not Daniel Bryan in the Big Show spot.  It's been a good story with Show but all DB gets is beaten up and Show gets a huge moment on two straight RAWs.  I know DB got some big moments too in the past month but he needs it more than Show.

  6. There's been some talk about Hogan back in WWE at some point. Does anyone want to see him? I can't imagine. We are now a decade beyond his farewell tour the last time he was in WWE.

     

    Probably at Mania.  He'd probably generate something for his first appearance but everything else after that would dwindle. 

     

    Also, Hulk doesn't seem to have helped TNA in any major way in the last four years.

  7. I'm sure this has been mentioned before but Hulk Hogan is an idiot.  I've been watching 1995 Nitro shows and then reading the WON stuff on them afterwards.  In the September 25 issue, it's stated that Steve Austin was fired and Hogan and his crew felt he had no charisma.  On what planet does Steve Austin not have charisma in 1995?  Hell, in 94, he came across as amazing with a ton of potential, probably in 93 too but I haven't seen enough of his stuff from then.  My rant is over :)

  8. Someone help me out here.  I want to get a new WWE Blu-Ray set with their sale going on but I can't decide on a second set.  I'm getting the Mid-South set for sure but I can't decide on the Goldberg set or the Best of Nitro Vol. 2 set for my freebie.  Which one do you guys think would be more fun?  I'm guessing the matches on the Nitro set are better but workrate isn't something I want to worry about.  I just want some fun stuff to watch.

  9. Isn't it completely possible that they're in a frenzy and will put the WHC on Cena at HITC?  They could easily protect the shit out of him, having him work an incredibly safe match.  He could continue working like one match a month as the lesser champ, working these safe matches until he's healed.  As long as he doesn't wrestle with a sling, it could probably work.  Hell, he might even wrestle in a sling or something, who knows.  He doesn't need to wrestle to show up and cut promos every week.

  10. Big Show's gone from being bankrupt...to being close to death because he's part of the giant species...to now being impotent. He's this close to having Steph reveal he's turning tricks on the street corner for spare change.

     

    Next up, alcoholism and suicide right in the overrun!
