I am neither a Nazi nor am I a Norse culture LARP person. Previous dogs had names such as Argus. Cool names are cool names and we like the mythological names and the stories (English major here). I mean Argus (or Argos) is my favorite part of the Odyssey and shows the bond with dogs has spanned thousands of years. Freya is a cool name and she had a chariot that was pulled by cats. Of course I named her Freya. I’ll post a picture to the pet thread sometime, but I mostly post via phone now and doing the image thing from here seems a daunting task. Crazy world we live in where insane people may look askance if I yell for my dog to fetch at the park because they are political weirdos. Fuck ‘em, I got bigger things to worry about.

The Slap Jack wasn't a Pedigree. He lifts the opponent up by the arms, similar to a Tiger Driver '91 but not lifting as highly, and actually appears to drive their head down into the mat. Triple H just jumps and falls to his knees. The Slap Jack looks way more hurty. I'm sure it has a lot to do with who's taking it, but this one looks better than almost any Pedigree I've ever seen. There are at least two workers in the NWO B-Team alone that are worse. Edited May 19, 2019 by MORELOCK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) You know listening to the commentary on the Joey Styles era of RAW has made me rethink the pairing of Styles & King. I remember thinking they had no chemistry, but on rewatches it’s more obvious that they did. Styles was still smarmy, but when he was playing straight man he sounded very natural, and King did the heavy lifting of the shitty one liners(Which Styles did, even when he had a guy working commentary with him). I would say this was King at his most tolerable when working with Styles. I think if JR didn’t comeback, and the ECW angle didn’t happen they would’ve blossomed together into a an all-time pairing. Or the shitty booking would’ve swallowed them whole. Edited May 19, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Not that MORELOCK is even remotely trying to do this, but I am enthusiastic about any tiny rehabilitation of Stevie Ray solely on the grounds that Harlem Heat was my grandma's favorite tag team (and therefore my favorite tag team) and we'd watch them squash dudes on WCWSN together when I was a kid and thoroughly enjoy it. I will always swear up and down that Booker T and Stevie Ray deserve more love for that reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I don't think Stevie really needs rehabilitating. Booker being as good as he is doesn't make Stevie bad. Until today I hadn't heard that take in years. There are plenty of great Harlem Heat matches, one great Virgil match (DiBiase at SummerSlam 91), and zero great matches involving Crush or Horace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I wouldn't call it a great match, but it is enjoyable and fun and Crush's best match by far. Plus, Savage being like, "Fuck it, I'll just hang this dude upside down" to win was fantastic. It was yet another finish in a line of them where Crush got outsmarted by a far more intelligent opponent, so it fit right in with the narrative (or at least the narrative that I'd built in my head) that what was holding Crush back was that he was too dumb to beat smarter competition in big matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 If they're having Foley do it, it's likely the hardcore title, no? I don't see how that fits in today's WWE environment. A 24/7 (non-hardcore) title maybe? That could be fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRR Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 European/TV title rejuvenation or no buys. Gonna go and clog up the cards with B titles might as well go all out even if you can’t even write enough for all the titles they have now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
