elizium Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The Demos-Tito/Mil match is pretty bad. Both teams just seemed really disjointed. Mil is Mil, but even Tito was off, at one point he even fucked up running into the ropes. Spoiler box about the finish for those who haven't watched it yet. Spoiler The ending was really abrupt and awkward. I think Fuji was supposed to trip Santana when the ref wasn't looking and shenanigans would ensue from there. Instead he just blatantly does it while the ref is staring at him and he has no choice but to call the DQ. Jose Lothario even runs over like he was supposed to clock Fuji or let the ref know what happened. Maybe someone called an audible and told Fuji to do it and pull the plug on the whole thing? As I said, its a really bad match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneybrown Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I was kinda eh watching a Scott Hall photo shoot but they threw out some shit I wasn't expecting. Razor Ramon vignettes including Vince giving Scott advice while wearing a hideous outfit, even for him, fans shouting shit and ruining the promos (but they can't do anything about it because they never got a permit) and Walter Payton blowing a promo because Razor literally says "Yeah!" during it and that was enough to throw him off. That and a RAW cameraman leaving the camera on while sharing an elevator with The Undertaker. LOVE the outtakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 They put up a Network Collection on Triple H vs Undertaker featuring every singles match they had from 96-12, sixteen in total with 3 of them being the Hidden Gem uploads for last week. Makes for a fun watch in succession and seeing the changes over time. Amusing seeing stuff like Taker beating HHH with a pull the tights rollup at KOTR 02 then just two months later their face/heel roles are swapped in their match on RAW. Interesting that their first 7 matches in 96-99 all ended in DQs. Rewatching it I still find WrestleMania 27 to be an amazing spectacle of a match, great storytelling, and still get chills on the all-time great near fall from the Triple H Tombstone spot, perfect. Also dug the Insurrextion 02 match a lot. Overall the score would be 10-5-1 for Taker, but if you eliminate all the DQs the rivalry is actually pretty even at 4-3 Taker with just pins/subs.. so if HHH wins on Saturday they'll end it even. Match result listing: 1. Triple H defeats Undertaker via DQ when Undertaker used a steel chain that HHH brought in (Kuwait Cup, 5/11/96, Hidden Gem Upload) 2. Triple H defeats Undertaker via DQ when Undertaker used the IC Title on HHH (Shotgun Saturday Night, 2/8/97, Hidden Gem Upload) 3. Undertaker defeats Triple H via DQ when Mankind interfered (RAW, 4/21/97) 4. Undertaker defeats Triple H via DQ when Shawn Michaels interfered (Friday Night's Main Event, 9/5/97, Hidden Gem Upload) 5. Undertaker defeats Triple H via DQ when Rick Rude interfered (RAW, 9/29/97) 6. Undertaker defeats Triple H via DQ when The Rock interfered (RAW, 6/21/99) 7. Undertaker defeats Triple H via DQ when Steve Austin interfered (RAW, 7/19/99) 8. Triple H defeats Undertaker via pinfall in a No DQ Match after Kurt Angle interfered, accidentally hitting Undertaker with the sledgehammer (Smackdown, 7/13/00) 9. Undertaker defeats Triple H via pinfall after the Last Ride (WrestleMania X7, 4/1/01) 10. Triple H vs. Undertaker went to a no contest in a No Holds Barred match after Steve Austin and Kane interfere (Smackdown, 5/17/01) 11.

brandonrosas Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hey wrestling fans, I'm currently working on a report on top wrestlers in the Wrestlemania-era. The object is to identify the top wrestlers of the era as well as determine what characteristics those wrestlers have in common in order to determine the formula that makes up the "5 Star Wrestler". If you're interested in participating in my research, please fill out the survey (link is below" or send an email to [email protected] if you have any questions regarding my research. Feel free to pass this link along as well! The more people that fill it out, the stronger the data. Thanks in advance!

hammerva Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Plus we can see if Rene Goulet was ever good because all I have seen is the mid 1980's version which wasn't very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4/28/86 Prime Time Wrestling ep on the Network has a really fun Goulet/Lanny Poffo match. The kind of performance that can change your mind about him.

clintthecrippler Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 So over the last month, WWE Network has posted pristine remastered film of Pedro Morales' first MSG title defense in 1971, and other MSG main events from around that time period. Pedro's win over Ivan Koloff has been released through various channels during the DVD/YouTube era. It's no longer inconceivable that Ivan's win over Bruno is in WWE's vault waiting to be found or converted, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Pedro's title win was on a Coliseum Video that came out in 1987. There was no mystery behind it. Ivan beating Bruno has been on YouTube for years. There's no audio so the "can hear a pin drop " pin can't be proven but Koloff definitely got the fuck out before the belt was put around him. If anything, the shoddy quality proves WWF didn't record or save anything until the late 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hidden Gems for this week: Johnny Rodz vs. Carlos Colon (WWWF, 1977), Konnan vs. Art Barr (WWF, 1992), Super Crazy vs. El Hijo del Santo (WWF Super Astros, 1998), and Eddie Guerrero vs. Nova (OVW, 2002). @EricR @Matt D @Phil Schneider Is that the first Super Astros content on the network?

Curt McGirt Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 How much non-WCW Art Barr do we have? Even though it's Konnan that sounds interesting. So does Crazy/Santito even though it's probably eight minutes tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
