  1. I always thought Wrestlemania 9 got a bad rap. Not great, but Steiners vs. Headshrinkers is the best match on the show. HBK vs. Tatanka is good for 18 minutes with a countout finish. Bret and Yoko is perfectly fine for the nine minutes that it was. Lots of other stuff that gets shit on, but it could have been so much better.

    Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan - This is where you do it. Keep Flair around past the Rumble and Hogan goes over.
    Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect - This or the previous match is the main event. Have the great match that they always had.
    Randy Savage vs. Yokozuna - Savage is greatly underutilized after the 92 Survivor Series. He should have had a big match on every PPV. Matches vs. Shawn, Bret, Lex, ect. They really elevated Yoko in about 4-5 months. I keep his momentum going here.
    Doink vs. Undertaker - A great dynamic on different ends of the spectrum.
    Steiners vs. Money Inc. - Never had a big match on a PPV
    Lex Luger vs. Bob Backlund or Tito Santana. Quick win for Lex to build him up along the way for Bret. Maybe at King of the Ring.
    Razor Ramon vs. Jerry Lawler
    Owen Hart vs. Rick Martel - Neidhart got fired a month later. Could have had a tag match here.


    Ideally, you have Hogan vs. Bret at Summerslam that never materialized. Keep building Yoko and Luger as future Bret opponents. Bret should have held the title much longer than he did. Luger doesn't turn babyface so quickly as he fizzles out. Things were on the decline in 93, but WWF didn't put their best forward.

  2. Never understood WWE ending the Invasion angle when they did. Especially since Ric Flair comes in the night after 2001 Survivor Series and the NWO are there three months later. That there could get you to the Fall of 2002. Scott Steiner comes in November 2002 and Goldberg, the day after WM 19 in 2003. No reason why the Invasion couldn't have gone well into 2003.

    Dude, you're remembering this entirely wrong. Matt's back wasn't even touched until after the 2nd or 3rd time Matt is tagged in. His back wasn't even hurt until Page gives him a big forearm to his lower back. THAT'S when it starts hurting and that doesn't happen until nearly 10 minutes in, so almost 1/3 of the way through the match. From that point on, Matt walks around like someone whose back is killing with his back arched and his chest stuck out, he's in visible pain any time he does a move, including superkicks, he's struggling through the northern lights suplexes, he can't lift Kenny at one point, and he can barely hold Hangman for the Indytaker. Your description of him not really selling his back is wrong.


    It about 10 minutes in. Right after Hangman wants to put Matt through the table. Hangman gives him a forearm to the lower back that brings Matt to his knees. Less than 15 seconds later, Matt goes for the Northern Lights suplex on both guys, but fails. Then hits it five seconds later. It's something like that, that took me out of the match for a bit.

    The second time Matt is in the match legally (it's hard to keep up because you can come and go as you please it seems) the entire sequence is Hangman working Matt's back, all in preparation for a 440 pound suplex.

  4. Good tag match, but too much "both guys on the same team in the ring for too long," stuff and they work on Matt Jackson's back in the opening minutes, only for him to hit his double suplex right after. He didn't really sell his back after that. Why work the back if you don't bother selling? Can't be having lazy stuff like that.

  5. He said the same thing back in the mid 80's during a promo.



    Also in a match back in 1995.

     
    I can understand why people would be upset and it's a different time now than it was in 1995 or 1986, but I guess it doesn't offend me like it does other.

  6. Meltzer keeps saying Tuesday night basketball on TNT. They do have a few Tuesday nights, but their main night is obviously Thursday for basketball. I don't know where he get Tuesday for basketball when it's actually Thursday.

  7. From F4WOnline

    A major angle is expected to be shot tonight that will change one of the main events at the Royal Rumble show. We'll talk about it after the show depending on how it goes down or if it goes down. It will be reported that it is due to an injury by others. It is not. It was always the plan and we'll explain that on tonight's show if it happens based on how it is explained.

    Dave said stupid shit and WWE management is still horrible..  I just feel bad for the women,  nobody says how Bray Wyatt has put on a lot of weight and all his matches suck now. The double standard is still very much alive.

    Dave did mention one of, if not both of the Young Bucks putting on weight due to the move to heavyweight and how they could affect their in ring style. That's fine. However, people would lose their shit if he said the exactly same thing for a women. Jane Doe has put on some weight recently and they maybe change her high flying style. People would have gone crazy over that, although I see no problem with it. It has gotten to the point that you can't say anything about a women's looks. Really? Especially in a business that is predicated so much on how you look. Find something more important to outrage about.

  9. "I thought that they had a cool act in NXT and on the main roster, I don't get a thing out of them. I don't think their promos are particularly good. Their wrestling isn't good. I think Peyton Royce's transformation to look more attractive, I don't know. I don't want to say." - Dave

    "She was more attractive in NXT?" - Bryan

    "I thought so. Yes. To me, yes. But that's neither here nor there." - Dave

    "No one is saying she's unattractive everybody." - Bryan

    I know. No shit. I didn't say it at all. She doesn't stand out to me. When she was in NXT, she did..... She was a lot lighter."  - Dave



    So if he leaves out that last line, would everyone be ok? When did he say that wasn't true or just an observation? Nobody has a problem with Dave saying they/she is not a over as they were in NXT. Everyone would agree with that. He thinks that her character (everything from her mic skills, wrestling, to her look) was better at NXt.
