DECEMBER 2018 GIFS THREAD

[Curt McGirt]

I love watching WCW crowds. You can pick out individual reactions from each fan on the pops. The heat had to have been a huge part of what lured me into watching as a kid along with the different kinds of wrestling.

What happened to Prince Iaukea ?

 

[AxB]

WCW went out of business and the WWF didn't want him. So... I guess he didn't want to work indies, Japan weren't interested, and he wasn't friends with Jeff Jarrett.

To this day I am still pissed about Vader agreeing to team with Hogan and Sting

The legend of Jericho: thrower of tables added another chapter tonight. However, Twitter surprisingly doesn't have any gifs yet. That's like the one good thing it's for.

While posting NJPW press conference gifs, I must do this one up too. Ishii's fashion sense, as always, is tremendous. The smug sense of self-satisfaction at the end fills my heart with such joy.

I didn't realize Jericho was going to his WAR/Tenryu roots, throwing tables at people.

[Curt McGirt]

If so, maybe he'll win the WK match with a punch!

See that fucking sucks. The SNES version of Super WrestleMania didn’t have Warrior in it.

There being different SNES and Genesis versions of Super WrestleMania and Royal Rumble was confusing as heck, I imagine. The SNES Super WrestleMania didn't have special moves, but it did have Typhoon! Oh boy...?

Genesis must have been the lead platform if I had to guess. But I remember the Genesis version looked like shit compared to the SNES. 

LJN... What a piece of shit. I can’t believe one of the roms I hacked into my SNES Classic was Royal Rumble. That shit doesn’t deserve to be alongside Chase HQ.

I would honestly pray to God* that the local video rental store would have Royal Rumble on Fridays as a kid I loved it that much. I don't know why but I did. 

*I am not and never have been religious but I thought I should hedge my bets.

I do remember sometimes having a hankering for Royal Rumble that I’d go down that I’d get disappointed it wasn’t there. When that was the case my backup was baseball games. ...And boy, the SNES sure had a lot of Baseball games to play. 

Edit: Wait no, fuck that! Saturday Night Slam Masters was the game I had a real hard on for. I remember when my Blockbuster got that at around the time the SNES was after it’s point of relevance, but somehow still had one and a half isles devoted to it. It’s pretty crazy to think how long SNES, and Genesis(Although that only had half a shelf) were able to hang on there.

The spot is cool, but the camerawork is even better:

 

[Jiji]

Cinematic. That exact moment was when it went from a really good match to a classic spectacle. 

[Doragon]

They forgot to program finishers in for the snes version of the super wrestlmania game. While the older nes games are meant not have finishers for some reason.

It's reminding me of a specific director. Peter Jackson?

[Jiji]

I wanna say Leone but he usually kept the close-up and long shots separate.

[AxB]

Sam Raimi, man. Evil Dead crash zoom.

[#BlueJustice]

I mean, say what you want about silly flippy stuff, and I think that has an element of that for sure, but that camerawork elevates that to something really neat.

Sorry I am too distracted by the cartoon character that is the champion of the organization.

You know, I wish we were back in the time where DDP was pulling Diamond Cutter's out of his ass. Better RKO.
