BrianS81177 Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 A friend and I were talking about how lame Aces & Eights is and it got me thinking... has Knux won a match yet since he debuted last year? I'm not talking about multi-man tags where he didn't factor in the decision. Has he actually pinned anybody?
Reggie20x6 Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 I'd previously looked for this clip, unedited, but couldn't find it. This is probably one of my favorite Austin moments: http://youtu.be/fAglSncw8Vw 1

I'm not talking about multi-man tags where he didn't factor in the decision. Has he actually pinned anybody? Nope, his only singles matches have been getting squashed by Sting and his recent DQ win over Sabin, as well as tapping out to Joe before he unmasked. Even in tags I think he's only been on the winning team maybe twice.
brandonr4s Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Went back and watched Taker vs. Michaels at WM 25. My god what a great match. I wasn't a big fan of the 26 match, but this one is damn near perfect. Pacing, timing, psychology, false finishes....this match and Rock/Austin from Mania 17 are the perfect examples of the "sports entertainment" style of WWE main event matches. It's been 5 years and I still thought Taker had him after he reversed the skin the cat into a tombstone. Taker's facial afterwards is absolutely priceless. The faceplant into the floor and Michaels' reaction afterwards, begging for the 10 count, trying to win by any means necessary is very believable. The whole good vs. evil, HBK praying to the heavens before the moonsault only to be caught for the tombstone....just fucking beautiful. Top 5 Mania match of all-time for me. 2

Reggie20x6 Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 About a year ago, I was complaining to a friend of mine that the WWE used to inspire people to create pretty creative art (smackdown drive / jabroni boulevard street posts, moving signs, etc.); at any given show, you would be able to look around and see all this creativity on display. That's very close to, if not outright gone now, and a testament to how less interesting stuffing instead of potatoes is. On the other hand, I was at the RAW that Kid Rock performed on (the last televised show they've ran in Vancouver), and the same friend got into an altercation with a woman who wouldn't stop waving her fucking sign around and was blocking us all night. So, take that for what you will. WWE would confiscate any clever or edgy sign. Now all of the good sign-makers have migrated over to ESPN's College GameDay. 1

caley Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 I'm not a big Triple H hater, but that inclusion was weak...especially when it comes right after that Rock pop. Ziggler at #3?! I think there were 2-3 Daniel Bryan pops from this year that had that one beat! Good 20-11...weak 10-1. 1
Gonzalez Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 I'm not a big Triple H hater, but that inclusion was weak...especially when it comes right after that Rock pop. Ziggler at #3?! I think there were 2-3 Daniel Bryan pops from this year that had that one beat! I think these were made when Ziggler was being pushed.
Big Fresh Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 @WWEDustyRhodes please accept this invitation to attend RAW this Monday in Cleveland. I have a business proposition for you. Thank you. — Stephanie McMahon (@StephMcMahon) September 14, 2013 Rhodes family vs. the Shield. It's happening. 1
Brysynner Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Shield vs. Rhodes...does this mean Dusty/Dustin will be tag champs? Also could we get an actual in-ring appearance of Dustin Rhodes not as Goldust. And now I'm excited for Cody's eventual WWE Title reign
Overly Critical Man Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 The WWE couldn't handle The Natural Dustin Rhodes. That man took down the Stud Stable. 12
mattdangerously Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Seeing as how all his non-Goldust work has been awful since 95, I hope he keeps the gimmick.
Reggie20x6 Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 (I can't figure out how to make this quote system work right) That HHH pop doesn't work in the context of a ten-second clip. It is people screaming for a solid three minutes. 1
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Yeah that was fucking nuts, how anyone can play that down is beyond me. They were chanting his name at Survivor Series, he got a huge reaction when he returned.
The Green Meanie Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 May be a long shot, but has anyone seen any videos online of Paul Alperstein's AWF from 1996? The DVD set has most of the 1995 episodes, but I'm curious to see 1996 for the inclusion of among others, Lord Alfred Hayes.
Curt McGirt Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 A question, and a statement. Is Buddy Rose the ref in the Wahoo vs. Bock match on Schneider comp 26? I seem to recall people saying he was a ref before he started wrestling (or during the time he did). If you don't get the Lucha set just saw off your leg. You will probably miss it as much.
RandomAct Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 I try not to ever put over my wrestling career on here, but I had to mention that I legitimately took an airplane spin for the first time in my 10 year career tonight. It was the most awful experience I've ever had lol. 2

The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 25 was a classic, it's a top three WrestleMania match for me and a top five match in the history of the company.
Stuttsy Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Are those new or did I just never notice them before? NOT talking about the action figure. 3
