HumanChessgame Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 When it comes to really long matches, they all tend to be singles. Are there any memorable or exceptionally good tag matches (by that I mean regular two on two matches as opposed to Survivor Series/Wargames type matches) that went 60+ minutes?

I don't remember when I last saw Truth win a match with something besides some sort of fluke flash pin. His tv winning percentage can't be good outside of the 24/7 nonsense. I don't think he's used the gourdbuster as a finisher for many years. He was winning house show matches with a leaping spinning elbow. Before that, in the mid-2010's, he was using some sort of reverse sto drop. I think I've seen him break out the gourdbuster mid-match a few times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, he won the US title in 2010 with the leaping spinning elbow (The Lie Detector), and later used the reverse STO move, originally called "The Whats Up" and later renamed "The Little Jimmy" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 This is not some weird contrarian thing, because I've always loved Truth, but I'll always feel like he's missed potential. Obviously, he has a great spot with WWE, probably good pay for the stuff he's doing, but no one will sway me from the opinion that a "serious" Truth run would have drawn big time, or at the very least been great TV. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was solid in TNA, where they also misused him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custos Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Truth seems to be a guy who lucked out from Vince’s stubbornness in first impressions. Just as there are some blokes he just didn’t get and can never seem to get behind (Aleister Black comes to mind), there are others that he is enamoured with and have a great relationship, like Truth. Good on him riding it out well into his 40s as he has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him turning on Morrison and on into his program with Cena was really good. He got to come across as a real threat on the flipside to that though, he ended up being more of a comedy act when Vince decided he needed to be a lifelong babygace. I know he's over with Vince so he's probably more secure with his job than most. If you think about it , He's just as synonymous with TNA as AJ Styles and he's probably just as synonymous with this current era of WWE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdangerously Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Remember when the WWE split up Heavy Machinery by turning Tucker Knight heel; then they did nothing at all with Tucker while they tried pushing Otis as a singles guy; only to realize that Otis kind of sucks as a single guy, so they ended up turning Otis heel... and putting him in a tag team... 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 16 hours ago, The Natural said: From the AEW Revolution 2020 thread: --- There are match times which use the time assigned well while there are those which overstay their welcome. For examples of the former that come straight to mind: Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair at NWA Clash of the Champions VI Two out of Three Falls goes 56 minutes and is paced perfectly, the time flows by. Same goes for Ricky Steamboat's 30 Minute Iron Man Match vs. Rick Rude at WCW Beach Blast 1992. A match can overstay it's welcome by a few minutes or needed to go home a lot sooner. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood 2004 was 47 fucking minutes and went twice as long. Yep - Beach Blast came to mind. That was such a great sprint conclusion. Owen vs the Kid at KOTR 94. Lesnar vs Goldberg at Mania 2017 On the other hand: Triple H vs Shawn - Bad Blood 2004 Triple H vs Shawn - Armageddon 2002 Triple H vs Randy Orton - Wrestlemania 25 Triple H vs Roman Reigns - Wrestlemania 32 Triple H vs Scott Steiner - Rumble 2003 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
