Death From Above Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The metal thread turned me onto Primordial for a while. The Gathering Wilderness is probably one of my favourite metal albums as a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I don't know why I never listened to them back when they were getting press. I was interested but never got around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I remember a couple of ideas that seemed to become a board group think. One was that punches and stalling where better that MOVEZ!!! the other (and this seemed to be very self loathing at the time) is that wrestlings target audience was gays, children and the mentally handicapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I know WrestleMania 13 is mostly known for Bret vs. Stone Cold, but that Chicago Street Fight between LOD and Ahmed vs. NOD was a wild and heated feud driven ringside brawl with folks just endlessly getting hit with some nasty weapon shots and some crazy bumps from Faarooq.

Godfrey Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) The only band I learned from this place is Gamma Ray. Edit: Hey they're still going! In 2010 anyway. Edited July 15, 2020 by Godfrey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Yeah, still going, last album was 2014. I think the only thing I ever heard of em was Heading to Tomorrow and didn't like it much. That song above is perfectly fine. I'm picky about my power metal though. Never liked Helloween after the first Keeper album, for instance. (Shit, I'm just picky about metal in general, but that's for another thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give you: Nexus debut Shield debut Vince's limo explodes [Daniel Bryan, Edge, Roman Reigns, etc] returns NJPW debuts and pushes Jay White to the moon Gedo turns on Okada; various BC-related turns/debuts Contra Unit MLW debut (fuck yeah) I posit that a scale from "WCW taped the title change 3 months ago" to "Jim Duggan is in the gorilla suit", we are somewhere around "let's give 'em Mabel". As far as WWE they book week to week and even changes happen during the show alot of times so even of tou have a hot angle like Nexus being formed there's no guarantee that we're going to get a proper blow off to it. Summer of Punk was really good until after the MitB match vs Cena. In probably one of the biggest Nash fans here but he had no reason being in that feud other than to Sabotage Punk. Or look at how the followed up Joe vs Brock, they could've had a rematch at Summer Slam or extended the build up for the match to happen at Summerslam in the first place. I'm not saying WWE needs to book months and months ahead of time but there is no endgame to anything in WWE. When the do stick to something it's too obviously forced to the audience. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it has aged well but at the time this was a seriously underrated WM match. This was absolutely LOD's best WWF match period. Not a show-stealing match but they all completely made the most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 What would the best Road Warriors match be (that wasn't a squash)? I think it might just be the Stampede overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Honestly that's probably the right answer. I love the Road Warriors/Sasaki vs. Steiners/Scott Norton match at the Tokyo Dome in 1996 but that's more Beef Spectacle than actually great match.

Brian Fowler Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I assume there's at least one great match with like the Midnights or someone, but fuck that Stampede ten men is just flat out awesome and gonna be real hard to top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Maybe the better question is what's the best match with the RWs that was good because of the RWs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Raven said Billy Corgan will be shutting down the NWA. "I think Billy’s shutting it down, from what I hear,” Raven said. “From the grapevine, I heard that Billy’s not opening it back up, he’s really disillusioned.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custos Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Surely it would be a significantly different from an expenses/structure perspective Lagana-less given he was like a Borash in TNA wearing all the hats (not least the Ten Pounds of Gold mini-docs which is what put them on the map before the studio show). Where would he even start in tiptoeing through the carny minefield? I mean, Pritchard’s not a free agent now so hope is lost in finding a five-tool player with integrity...

Custos Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Well he didn’t survive 2+ decades without being able to wriggle out of a hole or two. But I grant you, worst RAW ratings of all time is a pretty sizeable hole. Wasnt a 1.1 rating the running joke for TNA viewership in the mid-00s? Like no matter what they do and who they debut it will never break 1.1? Or was it 1.1m viewership? Edit to avoid double post being late to the party: I’m pretty sure Power Slam magazine in the UK introduced a section with humorous comments taken from DVDVR on their letters page sometime 2005-6ish and so I went to the source and mostly lurked since then. My memory may be deficient so perhaps another Brit can corroborate. I think it only lasted a couple of months, maybe because a DVDVR poster slagged off the lack of Lucha content in said magazine.

Kang Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 If Pritchard doesn't work out role wise..WWE's only other option left is somebody younger than 50. Anyway with the one writing team mandate in effect and the plan to do less house shows when they start those back up...one wonders if WWE will eventually end the brand split between Raw and Smackdown. Could help boost the ratings short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
