AND THE BEAT GOES ON! Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 So I've been thinking about bryan/h more and the All Japan comparison isn't an idle one. It goes beyond the tiger suplex and bryan collapsin to his knees in pedigree/tiger driver position towards the end. Triple H burned through his moveset quicker and had nothing left in his armoury, while bryan still had the knee up his sleeve. Even with all the shoulder damage, h's crossface reversed into the yes lock brought them back to level, because the yes lock outranks as a move, and the match told the story that bryan is the undeniable ace, that his offence just does more damage even when it appears to be assymetric in the flow of the match. It's a similar match to rock/austin in that every part of that match told the story of rock's superiority and the need for austin to turn, kayfabe wise.

nate Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 HHH vs Bryan was so fantastic. The pre-match DBryan video package. The awesome HHH entrance. The movez, Steph, the ending. It's right there with the Shield vs Wyatt 6-man for me as MOTY. Even cooler is how this booking is hopefully leading to Brock vs DByan. No fucking way Hogans Silverdome fuck ups were scripted. What an old putz. Yeah, I wanted to say something earlier, when I saw it mentioned pages ago ... where'd this notion that the "Silverdome" botch was scripted come from?

Hogan is like Ron Burgandy and will read anything off a TelePrompTer. Vince Russo snuck in the building and replaced all mentions of SuperDome with SilverDome. Revenge!!!!!!!

Fallacy! Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Brock beating Undertaker is the biggest in-ring event in professional wrestling that I can ever remember. I think it's bigger than Montreal or Hogan joining the nWo, although I was too young then to really grasp how those things were perceived on a mainstream scale. If you look on Google News, there are newspapers from all over the country covering this. National sites like USA Today, Newsday, Fox Sports, ABC, etc. Hell, the conservative talk radio station I listen to sometimes mentioned it today on their morning drive show.

odessasteps Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Kofi's strength is landing on the steps. Is there money in a Brock vs Kofi in a steps match? Maybe with Backlund as special ref? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Any word on what Mick, Dewey, and Noelle thought of the show? WE NEED TO KNOW!!!! No TVs were harmed in the watching of this Wrestlemania. Randy Orton disagrees. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like this actually exist. People want to kill Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon. So weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty J. Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I want to show some love to the visual of Bray on his knee, Cena with a chair and the crowd swaying in the background and singing. That was amazing. I would also totally buy that vest Harper was wearing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an old putz. Yeah, I wanted to say something earlier, when I saw it mentioned pages ago ... where'd this notion that the "Silverdome" botch was scripted come from? Just me. I have no proof, but Hogan didn't have an earpiece, and I just think if someone screws something up for real, they would try to sweep it under the carpet rather than turn the entire segment into absolutely everyone riffing on that screw-up. Also Austin's laughter looked pretty fake when Rock delivered his Superdome line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hogan didn't have an earpiece and likely didn't realize he misspoke until the crowd chanted Superdome at him. Austin's fake laugh probably came from Rocky trying to steal his joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Trump Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Bray/Cena was totally Emperor Palpatine trying to get Luke to give in to the hate and go to the Dark Side. I saw much more of a Joker/Batman dynamic... 'You're gonna have to break your own rule'/'I want you to do it' type of thing. Worked for me except for Cena's cheddar acting.

Jimmy Trump Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I already posted this elsewhere but please allow me to do so again as it's fitting for this topic. It hurts it that the Mark Henry picture isn't from the actual Mania match but Unforgiven by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
