RIPPA Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 At some moment in time @Smelly McUgly took advantage of the payola program and paid me to review a random Hodge Podge of matches. There isn’t really an order to them. http://deathvalleydriver.com/ronareview1/ Oh so rusty on this writing thing 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Quote This finish is fucked up too as Rick Steiner blows the ripping off of Butch Reed’s mask so they kinda just have to wing it and then Reed gets rolled up as he is apologizing to Ron Simmons… errr… Doom 2 for having his mask ripped off. Then Simmons takes his mask off and fuck that we need to go to commercial so we can know more about Sting! The unmasking of Ron Simmons literally is 10 seconds max. JR: AND ITS RON SIMMONS *commercial break* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Dude...I thought I was being somewhat hyperbolic. It's LITERALLY TEN SECONDS. https://www.wwe.com/videos/the-steiner-brothers-vs-doom-title-vs-mask-match-clash-of-the-champions-x The Jim Herd era is amazing.

SirSmUgly Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) I love this. Also, I went back to check the full list of matches that I sent you, and between that list, this thread and the Secret Santo thread, it's pretty clear that I have a giant soft spot for '90-'93 WCW and WWF, which makes perfect sense considering my age. It's the comfort wrestling that I watch when I just want to see something that I've seen before and that I know I'll enjoy, and I should re-assess my personal all-time favorites and make sure the Steiners and Doom are higher up the list. EDIT: Bummed to see that my link to the Andre the Giant/Andre Bollet match didn't live long enough to see this day, though.

Curt McGirt Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I remember loving that Savage/Crush match when I was a kid because Savage really seemed like he hated Crush. It seemed really intense and violent at the time and I'm sure I'd look at it now and laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Bummed to see that my link to the Andre the Giant/Andre Bollet match didn't live long enough to see this day, though. I am in the same boat. To me the perfect angle was the early 91 Horseman vs Pillman-Sting and friends. I say perfect but I think the only thing missing was Brian getting a big ppv win over the horseman. Looking back at it he lost all the big matches including the Clash loser leaves. Pillman wasn't afraid to do the job. Imagine if we had more wrestlers like Brian. Storylines wouldn't have to be so 50-50 on the Wins and losses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 "Have I seen this match before? Clearly I have seen this match before, right? I mean I know I watched this PPV. Fuck, I bought this PPV. Was this the first WWE PPV I ever bought? Was there any build up to this match? Was it seriously just “Who are the better brothers?” Who am I? Why am I here?"

Brian Fowler Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Oh, Battle Bowl. WCW never could decide if the draw should be so obviously rigged it exposed the business, or look like it was actually random to the point no stories were advanced. They never tried a middle ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
