Dog Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 4 hours ago, The Natural said: I'd still rather watch CM Punk even with the sloppiness. Then there's the argument of knowing your limitations. Do you play safe or go for broke? Match quality is definitely CM Punk: The 2004 ROH Trilogy with Samoa Joe, vs. John Cena at Money in the Bank 2011 and the two MJF bouts in AEW. Have all six at *****. Ah, but are the better matches always put on by the better wrestler? Remember wrestling is primarily live entertainment, and wasn't really meant to be scrutinized on tapes and smothered by star ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 8 hours ago, GuerrillaMonsoon said: ....wait, these guys managed to be in the same promotion long enough to be booked against each other? I don't remember them wrestling in ROH, was this like a TNA Xplosion taping or something? Is it on a DVD or Youtube, or did you see it live? That's definitely one of those matches I could have sworn never happened when I was rewatching Punk vs Shelley from ROH the other night. They wrestled in IWC in a tournament (Super Indy 3) Semi Finals, and then again I believe the following month at Caged Fury. If I'm not mistaken our very own @Gorman called the matches. I also believe they worked Cleveland All Pro against each other as I remember seeing them 1 on 1 in Ohio too. If you do seek out their Super Indy 3 match I highly, highly encourage you the watch the whole show. Sonjay-Punk is also fun as is the AJ-Daniels match and Southern Comfort vs MDogg 20 and Josh Prohibition. It's probably the best live show I've ever attended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Talking Smack segment was so damn tremendous. Their feud could have been amazing with Miz so clearly motivated. 2016 was peak Miz too. He was regularly having good to great TV matches on Smackdown with guys like Ziggler and Ambrose. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now, people in Cleveland can't go to huge shows in Pittsburgh?! Let me tell you a small fact. Larry Sweeney became involved in pro wrestling because of IWC Super Indy. He was in the crowd and it made him want to be a wrestler. Most Cleveland and Pittsburgh indy fans know of AIW and IWC. I made the drive to IWC often back then as I'm sure many others did. Look at the card for Super Indy 3 and tell me you wouldn't consider it one of the best? Sabin-Shelley, AJ-Daniels, Punk-Dutt, Punk-Sabin., Balls-New Jack. But keep wasting your time John, I find it funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFistsJustFlips Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I know you hate me but I'm gonna do you a solid and give you advice. Stop being so petty about this. You were paintedbynumbers. Now you're Pedro. It's not a secret. The mods haven't banned you again, not because they don't know, but because they don't care. If you stop fighting posters about it and let it go everything is gonna be fine. They would have banned you by now if they planned on doing it. Don't give them a reason to. Go back to posting thoughts and opinions like the rest of us and quit fighting the tide. Let it wash over you. AKA don't be a weirdo this time and there won't be a reason to be banned. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 great moments in localized booking: Quote WWF @ Tallahassee, FL - May 12, 1999 (8,203) Mankind & Ken Shamrock defeated the Acolytes; the Acolytes played the faces for the match due to Farooq being a Florida State alum; to help in that effort, Mankind & Shamrock wore University of Florida jerseys to the ring 1) even more heelish to use Gator jerseys when you consider that Ken Shamrock grew up in Georgia before moving to California. You're not getting heat if you put Ken in Yellow Jackets gear in any year except 1990. 2) Ken Shamrock and Ron Simmons were born in the same county (Ron in Perry, Ken in Warner Robins) 2b) I don't think they could have reworded "Don't Step To Ron" to be about Ken Shamrock, even if Ken is "straight from Georgia, Warner Robins, Georgia". Partly because Ken Shamrock wasn't an "ex-football all-american on defense" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly because Ken Shamrock wasn't an "ex-football all-american on defense" Seeing as Mick actually lived in Atlanta for quite awhile (or at least the suburbs of Atlanta IIRC), it would make more sense for him to have on Yellow Jacket gear. That said, Ken strikes me as a guy that doesn't give a damn about any type of allegiance. At least enough to play it up for cheap heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
