Tromatagon Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The Raven/Kaz Hayashi match was awesome but I think it's mostly because of Kaz Hayashi doing the Jerry Estrada bump 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTTW Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Did Linda have anything to actually do with the WWEs success? I know she wrote press crap and made meatballs for investors, but, like her daughter, is there any direct correlation between something she did and success for the WWF?

I don't think the whole deal lasted more than 8 or 9 minutes from entrances to the end but it was absurdly entertaining. Raven laying the belt down and challenging GB to come get it, going toe to toe with him for a bit and using Raven's Rules to his advantage, GB finally overpowering Raven and then the well choreographed Flock run-in, the jackhammer on Reese, fans throwing Raven back in for the finish. Great stuff all around. Hadn't seen that one in a while. Much fun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I was SUPER pissed after Goldberg won. Raven had JUST won the damn belt. At 12, I unleashed a string of profanity that'd make Shane Douglas cringe. So bad in fact, my friend's mom wouldn't let me watch wrestling there anymore. Good times. In all honesty, this has to be Goldberg's (in my opinion) best match, right? I know the DDP match was good, but this was great. I'll attribute 100% of it to Raven, obviously, but it was a great title change where nothing shitty happened. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTTW Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Why does it feel like every couple of years people rediscover Goldberg/Raven? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Watching that again put a big smile on my face. Raven stepped up and took it right to Goldberg, which was very un-Raven of him. Also, Goldberg's sick rolling ankle lock. Incidentally Roy Wood Jr. just imitating Macho Man reading a Trump tweet on the Daily Show also put a big smile on my face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I love Goldberg vs. Steiner until the end with all the Russo fuckery. It was two huge fucks tossing each other all over the place. Great stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiki says she was heavily involved in a lot of the merchandising deals they had and was the primary negotiator for their deal with Viacom in 2000. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Oh my goodness. Ric Flair is Ashley Schafer now. Woo. Has anyone ever asked Ric if he knew about or saw those episodes of Eastbound and Down? Woo. Now I want Will Ferrell and Ric Flair to shoot a scene together.

SirSmUgly Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I was conducting a lesson on Much Ado About Nothing and kept referring to Friar Francis as Friar Ferguson. I can't tell whether this amuses or depresses me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
