Casey Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Is that Kama/Godfather/Papa Shango in that promo with New Jack, D'Lo & Mustafa? Also, the description part of the video makes the Gangstas stuff sound amazing. A 2 count instead of the traditional 3 count because of Affirmative Action? Talking about OJ Simpson and others to piss off the rednecks? Ring announcer confusing "LA" with "Louisiana"? I get that Cornette is pretty crazy these days, but all of that is fuckin' genius. What the hell, Rick Rubin was a financial backer of SMW??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I think the blowoff stipulation was for the Gangstas to salute a Confederate flag if they lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick B. Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 http://www.coreystapes.com/smw95.html "Instead of kissing the Confederate Flag as per the stipulation, the Gangstas brutally attack Smothers, Armstrong Cornette and even the referee. The Gangstas then spray paint the Gangstas’ X symbol on Bob Armstrong and continuebeating on Smothers & Cornette until the Undertaker comes back in and clears the Gangstas out of the ring." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I guess that's where the aforementioned promo comes from, and how that six man tag I posted about comes to be. The Undertaker coming into an angle like that is a little bizarre, but fuck that's just a great wrasslin' angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muhammedboehm Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 "Real combat sports don't have matches between men and women", while technically true, is also bullshit. Leaving aside that no real fight in human history has ever begun "Lockup - Irish Whip - Dropkick", real combat sports also have weight classes. There is no legitimate fighting organization where you'd ever see Kalisto fight Alberto Del Rio, never mind Henry or Show, and yet somehow the "REALISM NOW" crowd isn't chiming in for every big man-little man match. So what's the argument here? That anyone who doesn't think intergender matches make sense shouldn't watch matches between men of different weights? Yep which ignores the history of early mma.

stro Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 It's been 17 years since the finger poke of doom and I'm still amazed the pay off was Hogan and Nash ending up as the top babyfaces again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Random question: Is the difference between Scott Steiner's main event push failing in '90/'91 and Scott Steiner's main event push succeeding in '99/'00 that Steiner should always be a heel at that level? His in-ring performance never really changes at its base level - throw dudes around and mug for the crowd. The only real difference is that in '90, he's kind of a bland face and in '99, he's a fantastic heat magnet of a heel. Also, was there any way to salvage Steiner's main event push in '90/'91 so that it worked out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I can't get over you thinking the in ring work didn't change to read the rest of that Seriously What the fuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, was there any way to salvage Steiner's main event push in '90/'91 so that it worked out? He did not want to be in main events in 90/91. He wanted to keep teaming with Rick. Flair wanted to lose the title to him and Scott refused. At that point the Steiners were way bigger together at that point than Scott could be alone.

SirSmUgly Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Yeah, I'm going to have to disagree that the ring work really changed that much. He was still mostly strong-manning dudes. The heelery in the ring is really what sets him apart. I've been watching both '90 and '99 Steiner lately and feel pretty comfortable making that statement, but if you disagree, you could actually say why. I'm open to different perspectives on this.
