Skelemania Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 My favorite part about the Arn Anderson run-in & Spinebuster in that match was that I didn't even see him roll in. It completely took me by surprise. God that spot was awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 And then he rolled out and hid as if Tommy Young was going to find him. A Horseman to the end. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 One weird thing about that was that Arn bladed from one single Undertaker punch. C'mon, he's The Enforcer! Should take more than one soup bone to bust him open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 When did Taker first do the plancha? The Inferno Match? I think he did one against Sid at either the first or second IYH event in 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMN Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 My favorite part about the Arn Anderson run-in & Spinebuster in that match was that I didn't even see him roll in. It completely took me by surprise. God that spot was awesome. Part of what makes it so awesome for me is how well it was shot. You don't see Arn UNTIL he plants Undertaker, and then he's out of the ring. It's such a surprise moment. 18 is probably my favorite Mania. I don't know if it's the best, but, between that match and Rock/Hogan, it's pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 There was about a 4-5 year stretch where they had a problem with long-term buildups to WrestleMania. 18 is smack in the middle of that stretch. It's not a BAD show by any means, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodzillaPerez Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I never got to see Arn Anderson wrestle live. But I was there for that spinebuster and it's still one of my favorite moments at a live show ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Best streak match is, and always will be, the Flair match because Arn Anderson got to hit the spinebuster at WrestleMania. I marked out like crazy for Arn's spinebuster on Taker. I'm pretty sure he also hit it on Tito Santana @ WM5 after Martel walked out on Tito.

twiztor Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 challenge: is there a worse Dog Collar match than Vader vs British Bulldog (Raw 11/3/97)? if so, i think i need to see it. i couldn't find it on YouTube, but here's a DailyMotion link (remove the X as it was breaking the board): xhttp://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/xfals_almoney48_11-3-97-raw/1#video=x2a5ra P.S. at least it has the redeeming quality of Steve Blackman debuting. sorta.

Niners Fan in CT Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Sheamus/Rusev for the US title has been announced for tonight, to take place on the Network after Raw goes off the air What is this? Some kind of post-RAW event? Also, isn't this going to piss off NBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbat Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I hope this isn't the title switch. that shit should be in front of the world. If only the tribute to the troops show was closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I highly, highly doubt they'd give a "Russian" wrestler the US Title on a Tribute to the Troops card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSJ Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 This isn't going to piss off anyone (excepting those who foolishly think that there will be a clean finish). The two hosses will clobber each other for a few minutes and then Rusev will hit Sheamus with the flag pole or a chair or something and get disqualified. Feud begins.

Dre013 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I actually think they'd change the title on the network to give that "look what you missed" angle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I can't help but think that they missed a potentially great moment here. The Miz should've won the US Title at HiaC, and then unwittingly became America's hero, defending the beloved Stars and Stripes against the villainous Rusev. Just imagine the pop as Mizdow attempts to cheat to win against Rusev. I sure as hell hope they don't do the Sheamus loves the USA stuff. I loathe that crap.
