Spritenaut 32 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 If she gets confirmed, Linda will become 'legit'. That may even extend to Stephanie and 'Paul'. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Vince never shakes the "carny" label regardless of how much money the company makes or what government positions the McMahon family holds.

It was the Brothers of Destruction vs Two Man Power Trip for the WWF, IC, and tag titles. And it now occurs to me that if KO makes past Sunday as the Universal champ, I'd love to see that idea reprised with JeriKO vs Cesaro and Sheamus. Ah, that's right! I was mixing up the headline matches from the May PPV. Also, I didn't know until this moment how badly I want to see this tag feud.

It's been a running joke that Mike Johnson is usually the first to ask a question. I swear some wrestling guy wrote a rant about being on hold for over an hour for one of those things and then they skipped over him because he was a wrestling guy.

PetrolCB Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Vince will give Booker T a higher role in the company, since he'll assume that's who praised his wife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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...
