piranesi Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm waiting for the day that guys just have a single letter or number be their name and we can get a WMLXII main event of J vs. 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Those are standard hipster baby names. They are relatively safe-sounding, so far as hipster baby names go, but there's still a good correlation with those names and the parents being douchebags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm weird, I like the names of HHH and Stephanie's kids. They're different without being too blatantly so. They're other people's last names.

Josh Mann Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It's also worth mentioning that Shane's firstborn is within a c-hair of having Elvis Costello's given name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb82 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The past HHH/Orton feuds have sucked, and their only point seems to have been that no matter the alignment, HHH > Orton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The past HHH/Orton feuds have sucked, and their only point seems to have been that no matter the alignment, HHH > Orton. Only Triple H/Randy Orton match I ever liked was the Last Man Standing match at No Mercy 2007. The WrestleMania XXV main event match was especially bad.

Big Fresh Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The biggest problem with the XXV match was they built up a blood-soaked brawl and gave us a wrestling match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go2Sleep Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 "Cesaro" reminds me less of Batista and Goldberg, and more of Lashley. Anyone else remember that 2-week stint where they tried to get that over? The funny thing about the Orton/HHH pairing is that their LMS was legitimately one of WWE's top matches of the decade, but every other match (and there were quite a few) was mediocre to awful. In the spirit of the omnibus thread, are there any other pairings of wrestlers who have had one truly great match together, and nothing else crossing average (let's say minimum 5 matches)?

Leonidas Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 You can't chant Cesaro, the syllables are too weak. He needs a nickname for people to chant. Big Tony would have been perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not your exact criteria, HHH VS HBK netted two classics and a ton of shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Triple H revealing that his and Stephanie's daughters are called Aurora, Murphy and Vaughn really made me question just how good the McMahon's family's taste in names are. Maybe they are huge fans of Robocop and Major League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the match sucked, for historical purposes I'd have added Hollywood Hogan vs. Sting from Starrcade 1997 to go with The Hostile Takeover bout from Bash at the Beach 1996 which did make the cut.

SirSmUgly Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 That three-way ladder match for the contract is already on a couple releases and isn't that good anyway. If they wanted to add a good cruiserweight bout from near the end of the company, they should have chosen a Chavo/Helms match instead. I think they wrestled twice, and I remember at least one being very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Are there any sites that cross-reference what matches are already on other DVD sets? I've been optimistic about this set, but some of these matches are suspect to me ... plus, any Flair/Steamboat match that shows up at this stage of the DVD game makes me cringe.

Spontaneous Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The one where instead of Luger finally beating Flair, who had jumped ship to WWF at this time, fans get subjected to probably one of the top three worst shows of all time? Barry Windham, perenial midcarder is suddenly #1 contender? Luger randomly turns heel with Harley Race? Where the crowd chants WE WANT FLAIR the entire show? Yeah, that is odd it is on TWO sets now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
