JRGoldman 2,093 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 The thing about the audience in the attitude era that always gets me is that for every wrestling related sign, there are about five signs of Cartman. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BrianS81177 3,779 Posted September 14, 2013 Share 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? Link to post Share on other sites
Reggie20x6 352 Posted September 14, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

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. Link to post Share on other sites
brandonr4s 260 Posted September 14, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Reggie20x6 352 Posted September 14, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

caley 3,629 Posted September 14, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Brysynner 950 Posted September 15, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

mattdangerously 6,971 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Seeing as how all his non-Goldust work has been awful since 95, I hope he keeps the gimmick. Link to post Share on other sites

Fat Spanish Waiter 2,639 Posted September 15, 2013 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
The Green Meanie 2,046 Posted September 15, 2013 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
