Ultimo Necro Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Getting this in early while I heard the song on the radio... “Long time ago me and my buddy Randy here, we were hitchhiking down a long and lonesome road. All of a sudden, there shines a shiny promoter in the middle of the road... and he said... “Have the greatest match of all time... or I’lll eat your soul.....” But this is not, the greatest match of all time, no, this is just a tribute, We couldn’t remember, the greatest match of all time, no, this is a tribute” 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 With all of this hype about GREATEST MATCH OF ALL TIME, is it possible that this match could be shitty on purpose. Kind of a screw you to the people that have crapped on the Last Man Standing match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 That could be fun. They make something they think is a classic and people shit all over it, then they go out to make something intentionally bad and it probably gets over like the Deletion stuff... which means they can't win no matter what they do. That would be exactly what they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMark Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Some kind of daffy joke match is probably the only way they can climb down from this without losing too much face when it sucks; which would require more self awareness than anyone involved has ever showed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I watch RAW most weeks even if it's just background noise but I still don't understand the reason behind "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever." Is this because people shit on their last match or is there something else going on? I don't know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume its honestly a rib on the two of them and probably the fans as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tease me with Tarantino directing WWE matches. That'd get me to watch again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 4 hours ago, RIPPA said: Orton/Edge was taped already so prepare yourselves To provide more context Quote On the post-NXT TakeOver Wrestlng Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that the Edge vs. Randy Orton match scheduled for this Sunday's WWE Backlash has already been taped. In what WWE has been billing "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever", Meltzer said he was told the match was "really, really good" and that it was "two very smart workers working very hard to have the smartest match they possibly could under the circumstances." Meltzer surmised the match was taped so post-match editing could help it try to achieve the lofty goal of the marketing tagline for the match. He also said the rest of the pay-per-view was not already filmed as was reported elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So something like nine chinlocks, four finishers each, two reversed finishers each, and fifteen minutes of it will be closeups of conflicted/tortured/sad/“why did you make me descend to this heart of darkness?” facial expressions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I wonder who Dave's source is that told him it's "very good." I didn't think their Mania match was the worst ever but maybe one of the most boring matches in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Townsend Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 If they're going for "best match ever", they need to run one of the legitimate contenders for that monicker, then photoshop Randy's and Edge's head into the footage. I mean, I don't think Edge's head is going to look right on Misawa's body, but what can you do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Hmmm, I'm starting to think Edge might realize he and Orton are being ribbed with this tag line. Edited June 10, 2020 by Eivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
