There are definitely two broad sides in this specific discussion, but that's about the only similarity. Not talking about the argument, but the methodology of engagement.

jaedmc Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Was Fit ever bad? Like he's had bad matches, but is there footage of early Finlay that makes you go "This guy doesn't get it yet.?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) WWE NXT UK Spoiler: Spoiler Well done, Trent Seven. Still remember the fun run of Matt Hardy in 2003 having to shed the pounds to win and defend the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Posting this here as more will see it.

SirSmUgly Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) I don't think he was ever bad. Even young Finlay in Europe was already very good. I pretty much feel like that about Regal, too, but in comparison to Fit, he was definitely a bit less polished in his early stuff from the UK. Finlay just looked like he was born knowing how to work a match on the other hand. The best thing about YouTube is posters, especially Tellumyort and his channel, putting out all this amazing stuff from '70s and '80s WoS/Germany/France that I would have never seen otherwise.

Random thought I had but considering Ali's challenging again for the US title if/when he wins it they should re-purpose "Real American" and do a video for him. If it's done right it could be some pretty compelling stuff. Now granted I was a few beers deep yesterday when this popped up so what do I know. But considering I still admittedly like the song updating it for somebody like Ali would be quite something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I apologize for calling the WWE employee who subscribes to a belief system where left wing politicians, the Hollywood liberal elite, and Wayfair are involved in a satanic cannibal pedophile cabal a "nutjob." That was too harsh. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did any of these magic hippy pals shoot up a pizza parlor searching for Hilary's sex slaves or storm the capitol looking to kill some politicians? You can't really just be like "peace to everybody, it's just different beliefs, man, we can still be friends" in this situation. They also ran around with Confederate flags and were calling cops the N word. Is that just a different point of view that should be respected? I'm not going to argue with you because you're an admin and will just Cash me out if you feel like it, but this "both sides" stuff is ignorant considering all that's happened in the U.S. the past couple of years. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize for my part when bringing up Yuengling and the like earlier. But this is the main reason why I created a Discord chat so we can discuss stuff like this. And I honestly hope to so it might be worth moving this discussion here. https://discord.gg/kyBKaHE Same goes for Jaedmc if you're up for it. But at this point I'm hoping that we can move on from this and get back to wrestling discussion. Yes, that's factoring in what Smelly said but it might be for the best.

NikoBaltimore Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 So anyway with the Network's impending demise and the move to Peacock who here is rushing their way through checking out all the old stuff they can? I'll say for sure that I am as I'm only a couple months away from finishing what aired in '93 and would like to get that done before they move it over. I'm also curious to see who's going to sign up for Peacock or drop it altogether. I am still using my friend's login and he's not sure about Peacock. So if he doesn't then I'll need to decide if it's worth subscribing again or just take a break until everything's back up by Summerslam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 If you like Euro sports, it's worth having Peacock Plus. I watch European football and cycling, so just having access to the EPL + Tour de France + Vuelta a Espana is worth it for me. I don't think I've ever streamed a TV show via Peacock, and I have watched like two movies because my wife streamed them and I was in the room. At five bucks, it's worth it if you watch like one or two other shows + the Network or if you like European football/rugby/cycling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I flubbed that one. Only got midway through 1991. Maybe someday I'll go back to that. BUT, you guys will be glad to know that I actually have the answer to the Finlay question! We found the earliest Finlay match on tape that we know of as part of the French collection. It's a really entertaining match. He's basically a goon for Gilmour. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely don't be afraid to disagree with me because I have an Admin title. I suck at this. I can't say the same for the others so your mileage may vary. The rest of my response I sent via DM because I think we're beyond ready to move on. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he tags in and does the body slam and hops up on the ropes for that body splash.... the fluidity of it makes me hate him so much. Green longsleeved shirts and yellow trunks is certainly a choice. A choice some tag team should be considering today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
