The Natural Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Not sure about pop, but the loudest crowd I've ever heard for an entire match is the one for Austin/Dude Love w/ Vince as ref. That place was unglued, and every time Austin tilted his head, they'd explode again. That match would probably get my vote as the best from the Attitude Era. Great match.

Swift Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It's amazing how fans still have a positive raction to the Razor character even though the character was only around for a short period of time in the WWF, and never held anything higher than the IC Title. It blows my mind that the Demos were only around for 4 years Actually, it's to do with how we perceive time related to our age. At 12 years old, 4 years is one third of our life at that stage (and pretty much half of our remembered life) whereas 4 years to a 32 year old is just one eighth of our life at that stage. Basically, 4 years seems like an eternity to a child, and not that long a time period to an adult. It's science, bitch. It also means that in 20 years time, 30 year old guys are going to be waxing lyrical about the Corre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is that Razor aligns, in part, with the Start of Raw, so he was maybe more of a weekly presence than he might have otherwise been.

Big Fresh Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I think these TV writers are a waste of time, and comic book writers would really get the eyeballz.Getting Brian Michael Bendis and Ed Brubaker would be fantastic. Wrestling is a live-action comic book anyway.I had this weird dream awhile back about WWE being guest-written for like a month at a time. For example, what would a month of WWE look like written by Aaron Sorkin?...I was pretty low on sleep when I had this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Territorial Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Are we talking "West Wing" Aaron Sorkin or "Newsroom" Aaron Sorkin? WW-era Sorkin would probably be an improvement. Current Sorkin might be Vince Russo with better scripted promos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is that Razor aligns, in part, with the Start of Raw, so he was maybe more of a weekly presence than he might have otherwise been. Razor was also a really cool character. Dressed cool, acted cool, and had cool music. Some kids in school were Bret Hart fans, but the majority in my school were Razor fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I'd rather have WWE written by Amy Sherman-Palladino and see Linda McMahon as Emily Gilmore. Steph would be a terrible Lorelai, tho. AJ or Paige would be great Rory's. Sami Zayn is the ultimate Luke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think part of the reason would be that Hall was pretty much Razor in the nWo era, too. The only thing that was really different was going by his real name.

Overly Critical Man Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 The Razor's Edge was basically the coolest finisher in the history of the universe to a little kid in 1995. No wonder people remember him. Hell, my brother who stopped watching wrestling back in the early 90s still remembers it as The Diamond Death Drop and Hall as The Diamond Stud.

BEN! Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I want a 3MB and 3 Count feud where the winner gets to keep the number 3. Tank Abbott interferes and breaks his green square over McIntyre's head to give 3 Count the win and then we get a Behind The Music-style documentary about the break up of 3MB where it ends with McIntyre getting kicked out of the group and turning face. Then Slater compares himself and Mahal to duos like Simon & Garfunkel, Hall & Oates, and Elvis & Costello. Then they do a "Who's On First" bit where Mahal tries to correct Slater and tell him he's thinking of Abbott & Costello and Slater tells him he doesn't want to mess with Tank Abbott anymore. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of those "I know this is fake...but there doesn't seem like a way that move doesn't hurt...it must be the best." If 1995-Me had seen the over the ropes Awesome Bomb, I might have grown up to be that "It's still real to me, dammit" guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Three, that's the magic number/ Yes it is/ It's the magic number/ Somewhere in this sports entertainment community/ was born 3 - Heath, Drew and me, it's the magic number (wikka wikka what does it all mean)*" *Assumes Jinder Mahal is on the mic.
