GuerrillaMonsoon Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Didn't Cactus have the definitive Van Hammer miracle match? IT'd be the Cactus/Hammer vs Nasties tag, but the fact that it was a Big Skye vs Hammer match makes it double miracle. You're thinking of Maxx Payne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Cornette eventually rolled over on Yoko for Vader, didn't he? or was it the other way around? Other way around. Corny tried to make peace between them, but Yoko cut him loose. Once that was done, Cornette sic'ed his new monster on his former one, but you can't really call that a betrayal on his part. Yeah that was Owen and Bulldog's mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Oh god, no revisionism on the Bulldog/Warlord matches please. They seemed to fued forever in the most pointless and boring bouts imaginable. The only good thing they were involved in was the Survivor Series 91 team match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Surely you mean Summerslam '91. The team match at Survivor Series '91 was fucking awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Bulldog is probably my 1b or 2nd favorite wrestler of all time and I will never ever watch him vs Warlord again. I put together a Bulldog comp like 7-8 years ago and I must've seen him vs Warlord at least 50 times. The Warlord matches and the Bulldogs matches vs Dream Team are matches I will never ever watch again as long as I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Harms Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Looking at Warlord as a kid and having no sense of workrate at all, I thought he was clearly the next world champ, he just needed to get on a roll. But it didn't happen. Then again he was a huge face in my figure fed and beat Mumm-Ra for the title, so there's that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool arrow Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Because of course he is. ETA: Having read the story, when did Inoki start going by his real name? And didn't he convert to Islam recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offspring515 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Surely you mean Summerslam '91. The team match at Survivor Series '91 was fucking awful. What? That match is the only worthwhile thing on the card. The finish is trash but everything before that is really good. Much better than the SummerSlam 91 opener. Though it was fun to see that mysterious newcomer The Dragon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah, I will hear no disparaging remarks about the Team Piper vs Team Flair match thank you. Man, Survivor Series 91 was a total rip-off wasn't it? So many card alterations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningBeard Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The first thing I think of when I remember those matches is Bulldog or Warlord running into the other person and not moving them.

Patrick B. Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I remember one time when Bulldog finally succeeded in knocking Warlord down with a shoulderblock and Monsoon said "He just MOVED the immovable object!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I'm posting this again. WWF era Nord might be the single most underrated guy in wrestling history. I'm trying to think who else would be up there. Luger maybe. 1990-91 Slaughter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Narcissist Luger was fucking cool beans. I never got around to re-evaluating his Lex ExpressRun, except for the first Yoko match, which was fine. the character just doesn't play as well. I'm actually about to go back and look over some of those Slaughter matches. I got hung up on those old PPVs on the Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Enjoyed that match until the cop-out quintuple-DQ that ended it... Yeah, well, that (lack of) finish ruined it for me. I do agree it was the best match on the show, but all that means is that the show was the drizzling shits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offspring515 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Iraqi sympathizer Slaughter is a good pick. I hattttted his ass as a kid. To me he was that boring,old GI Joe dude. It made no sense to me that he could compete with Warrior (even with interference) and his match with Hogan was probably the only time in my childhood that I was rooting for Hogan. Rewatching Slaughter from that era he worked his ass off and sold like a champion for the good guys. Totally changed my opinion of him as an adult. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he had a personal relationship with the Queen and she would talk about the ring prowess of The British Bulldog with him in her spare time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you'd LOVE Slaughter as a heel in Charlotte and WWF in the early 80s. The money matches with Patterson and Steamboat/Youngblood are easy, deserved and obvious choices but he was bumping and selling like crazy for the George Souths and Geriatric Chief Jays of the world, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
