Matt D Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 You guys like RVD and have no time for Greg Valentine. What has the world come to? I like them both. You don't count. You are your own one-man political party. Or gang. Something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 So, is the Shawn Michaels hate for both pre and post hiatus or just the comeback HBK? I didn't really care for post-comeback HBK outside of a handful of matches but admittedly missed out on a lot of his stuff from '04-'06 due to not giving a fuck about WWE. So many shitty chops and atomic drops. And he's largely to blame for the finisher spamming and reversal shit prevalent in the WWE main event EPICS. Pre-hiatus Shawn was pretty damned great in the ring but a piece of shit. His title reign had a bunch of good to great matches, the best being the Mankind match.

Pre-hiatus Shawn was pretty damned great in the ring but a piece of shit. His title reign had a bunch of good to great matches, the best being the Mankind match. It's mainly post, centered around weak offense, the fact he's a far better heel than babyface but refused to play that role, the fact his matches were centrally built around his opponent working over his injured back, which would be fine if his big comeback spot wasn't a kip-up that totally ignored it, and his really, really, really bad acting. I appreciate that he strove for a level of storytelling and big narrative moments that most other wrestlers in history haven't, but he didn't have the chops to pull it off. Pre-comeback, I think he's still a very selfish and immature worker, mind you. He's someone who really understood wrestling but would often use his power for his own ends instead of for the good of a match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Matt D, I'm sorry. I love you. Agreed on both accounts. The Diesel WMXI was obviously the best example of him abusing his power but he did it a bunch with DX and his feud with Vader was another great example of him not being flexible and acting like a petulant child. My favourite Shawn story is the one Cornette tells ("Fuck you, Shawn! You fuckin' pill popper!") about Bret and Michaels getting into a fight in '97 and Cornette leaving with a handful of HBK's hair. And he's largely to blame for the finisher spamming and reversal shit prevalent in the WWE main event EPICS. Motherfuckers act like they forgot about Angle It was his series with Angle that so many people splooged for that really made the change. Benoit and Angle's shit didn't really influence the main event style all that much. And please don't call me a motherfucker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm an unrepentant Shawn fan. He got me into wrestling, and comeback Shawn kept me invested in WWE at times when it was pretty awful. I think the hardcore fan consensus (like at PWO) is that Shawn actually peaked as a worker when he was in the Rockers with only occasional flashes of brilliance in singles. Plus, what Matt said. I understand a lot of points about his deficiencies, but they're blind spots for me because he's so important to my fandom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Cibernetico Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 According to Sarah Stock, she will be leaving Mexico and CMLL. Her last match for CMLL is 9/18/15. Looks like she will be an assistance/co-head trainer for the women down in NXT. As she looked GREAT it would be silly for WWE not to put her on TV even for a short 'meaningless' run. She is in the best shape of her life, can still go in the ring, she can speak 3 lanuages, and can promo. If WWE wants to reach that 'hispanic' market (while still appealing to Canadians), she would be a great on-air addition and with Kanna coming in- it would stack the Divas division even further. Post Sept WWE/NXT should be fun to see how the company decides to us her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 That's a great hire! I really like Sarita. I hope they do put her on TV, even if just for a brief NXT run before she transitions fully to behind-the-scenes work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
