John from Cincinnati Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 You're right. My memory for things I skimmed once isn't what it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Jericho's last couple of comebacks haven't been stellar, but you have to forget a LOT of history to pretend that the only "cool moment" in Jericho's career was the debut. First and foremost, there's the 98 run in WCW that made said debut such a hot occasion to begin with. (No matter how cool the countdown clock was, Y2Iaukea doesn't get the same reaction.) Then there's the Super J Cup match with Benoit, the ECW run, the feud with Rock, a lot of good matches in the early 2000s with the likes of Benoit, Angle, and Guerrero. The HBK feud was probably the best heel run since Eddie's "I'm your Papi!" bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 2010 stuff a bit patchier, but that was more crappy babyface Edge and general bad booking than anything else. When I think about Jericho's 2010, I recall the Evan Bourne matches and not much else. The few weeks he has the WHC in 2010 he's pretty money, and he was pretty great as Wade Barrett's mentor on NXT.

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Bret vs. Vince was fucking awful. Also, Lawler vs. Cole was super terrible. Orton vs. Triple H BLOOD FEUD where they actually wrestled a standard match and it was boring as hell. Hogan winning the title off Yokozuna and "helping" Bret and saving the USA. Blah.

GOTNW Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Jericho killed Wyatt, Wyatt killed Ambrose, Ambrose killed Cesaro. It's obviusly all his fault. I bet Vince loves midlife crisis Jericho too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I enjoyed Jeri-show, they had some fun matches with some random teams, Batista/Rey, DX, Henry/MVP WCW Jericho was so great though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Backlund vs. Ramon at WM9 was pretty bad. WM9 was pretty bad all together, outside of the Steiners/Headshrinkers. My memory is really fuzzy on Bret/Yoko, but given that it's Bret and Yoko before his weight got completely out of hand, it couldn't have been bad. Hogan walking out with the belt ruins even the best match, though. Even 12 y/o me thought the concept of "the world's largest toga party" was fucking stupid.

Patrick B. Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Liked HBK-Tatanka other than the screwed up finish. Ditto Steiners-Headshrinkers(powerslam out of the Doomsday Device attempt was badass, blown Frankensteiner not so much). Otherwise a LOT of heel wins on the show and an odd footnote on Taker's streak that he only won by DQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kropotkin's Beard Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I finally got my hands on the Mania XXX release, and I got this book, "Thirty Best Moments of Wrestlemania." So I tried my hand at this, and could use some feedback: what are the 30 worst? Taker vs Giant Gonzalez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Doink was also awesome at WM IX. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I really like Doink/Crush, but I am a massive fan of Matt Borne as Doink. Perfect/Luger was really disappointing. Perfect is a candidate for having the most "I had high expectations and ended up disappointed" matches in WWF of anyone I can think of. Luger, Michaels, even his Bourne Doink matches. It's like he was really great against Bret Hart, solid against Ric Flair, and kinda not that great against anyone else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Cobra Commander gets a bag of my mom's finest pink-frosted sugar cookies for that. Sheiky's hostile tone when he says the first "WHATEVER." is awesome. BULLAH BULLAH BULLAH!

Go2Sleep Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Can't mention worst Mania moments without Miz winning a main event. Bossman hanging from the cell is definitely a wrestlecrap-y moment that should be on there, although the Corporation/Ministry saga is a guilty pleasure of mine. Swagger taking forever to unlatch the MITB case would be a good #29-30 candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
