Zakk_Sabbath Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Jamaican Jealousy is going to be my new top female heel in WWE 2K19 3
hammerva Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Janetty has been fucked up for at least 5 -10 years but wrestlers kind of played along because it was funny to them.

Gorilla calls Bret "Excellence of Execution" I hadn't noticed that before. When did Bret first get the nickname? Also, did Bret and Tully Blanchard ever have a singles match? I've been binging some 1986 Prime Time lately and Gorilla has definitely used it a few times. 1

For all the talk about Gorilla burying guys on commentary, he made Bret. When I was a kid, I didn’t pay attention to who was better at wrestling in-ring and that stuff. I liked guys who looked cool. Gorilla always drove home that Bret was an amazing wrestler. I seriously think that (combined with the fact that Bret WAS great) contributed a ton to Bret’s singles run being taken seriously. 5

I mean, jeeze, that post is still a bit funny. Shit, his eventual death might be a comedy of horrors.
SturmCRF Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Is it baseless and unfair to add this Marty thing to my hunch that quite a lot of 80's wrestlers probably murdered people back in the day? It was already a bit of a golden age (wrong phrase, but hey) for serial killers back then. Add in wrestlers' itinerant lifestyle, love of substances and well documented propensity for violence and perversion, and I do wonder...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Wow, totally forgot they did that. Why do they always fuck over the UK fans? Do they need to really save that many main event caliber matches for NA? 1

LoneWolf&Subs Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Plus, streaming age, and other stuff. I can’t imagine them taking a bath on a big show like that. Although the UK has soured on the product. 1

For Great Justice Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Was in a discussion today. What is the best monster face vs smaller faster heel match?
Shartnado Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 You can argue the semantics as this was in the UK, but Vader vs Owen Hart from One Night Only UK PPV from 1997 is really good. Probably nowhere near the actual best but must be in the discussion. This topic came to me as well recently, as I described the Keith Lee vs Adam Cole match to my lapsed fan friend as "the love child of Ahmed Johnson and Vader facing the love child of HBK and the 123-Kid, and the skinny one is the heel!"
Curt McGirt Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Gorilla was the person that came up with "Excellence of Execution" and they went from there, right?
AxB Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Austin Aries has had a few good matches against monster babyfaces. But I'm wondering if Takayama vs Yoshinari Ogawa would count?
Curt McGirt Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Takayama/KENTA? KENTA was always a semi-heel to me. EDIT: Considering that I don't think Takayama counts, he was never really, really a face to me either. Coolest heel ever though. Edited August 5, 2020 by Curt McGirt

There's kind of a recency thing at play with this answer, but I liked Brock vs Bryan at I think it was Survivor Series 1
Shartnado Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Yes, Gorilla must have come up with the phrase "excellence of execution" since I distinctly recall him referring to other technically superior wrestlers by the exact same nomenclature in mid to late eighties. 2

Shartnado Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 I'd like to agree with Brock v Finn and Brock v Bryan, but it was big face against small heel, but if the roles were reversed, as they usually are, those two are amazing! Owen was a heel in the states when facing a then babyface Vader in the UK ppv, while treated as a face in the actual match by the UK audience. 1
