hammerva Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 So watching the newest Untold on the Triple H vs Cactus Jack 2000 matches that basically made Triple H. Pretty good stuff. Never thought I would get HHH view of Japanese death matches even showing a picture of an FMW match. The Mick Foley story of how the BANG BANG got started seems extremely BS but also totally something that I could see Foley thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningBeard Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Any clues on what else is lined up for Untold? Really enjoyed the Triple H/cactus one. As I’m furloughed I’ve been going through WCW PPV/Clash’s and am up to 89. It’s really weird seeing the transition from JCP to WCW, you’ve got Jim Herd announcing how they will continue to fly the flag for the NWA and respect it’s values and heritage on one show then on the next you’ve got Norman the Lunatic and Ding Dongs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I wonder if WWE intentionally put this together as their answer to the Jordan doc (had that come out as scheduled, this would've preceded it by a few weeks) or if it's just an amazing coincidence that they both made documentaries of living legends based around unprecedented footage following that icon.

Ultimo Necro Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The Taker doc is incredible. Some of the faces that show up are insane. Cornette appears on camera in the first 2 minutes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Graves mentioned the Jordan documentary twice in promoting the documentary last night. So clearly they released it because of how popular the Last Dance was. Also like the Last Dance it was pushed because of the pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) The Undertaker documentary was great. Surreal seeing Mark Calaway out of character. While watching it, you felt the Undertaker wanted to go out in the main event of WrestleMania vs. Roman Reigns but Undertaker wasn't in good shape so he's carried on. You'll see that more in the next episode judging by the teaser at the end for it. Hell of a set of talking heads with Vince McMahon, Bret Hart, Steve Austin, Mick Foley etc. Edited May 11, 2020 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I remember at the time most people blamed Roman Reigns for that match not being very good. Although at the time if it wasn't sunny outside Reigns was partially blamed for it. Now that Taker basically admitted that it was mostly his fault I wonder if people will change their tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 There were a few years where Michelle would put up videos of him looking great training for a match doing high box jumps or clean and pressing serious weight, and then at the actual show he’d be a mess. Old guy gym rat functional strength isn’t the same thing as wrestling shape. I think his biggest problem since 31 is not being physically conditioned to take bumps like he did when he worked regularly. He should have either retired or worked more often throughout the year so he wouldn’t get wrecked on his first bump during the Mania matches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the biggest problem was obviously that Taker physically couldn't do things that they had planned. I actually really like that match though. Incredible storytelling, and I think even Taker's body failing him in some ways added to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterien Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 First episode of Taker doc was great, gives a good insight as why/how he was so motivated during the run with Brock run in 2015. He needed to prove himself. Weird to see JR and Jericho on a WWE doc even if their parts were shot years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedbynumbers Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Classic content for may is going to be WWE Confidential. Not a big fan of this at all but if it closes out the series and gets it out of the way I am ok with it. Wanted some more Prime Time or WCW. maybe ECW supershows or old school house shows.

Web Conn Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I’d like to see them fill out 89-92 of World Championship Wrestling until the Saturday Night name change. I don’t know if they will ever put up old Georgia Championship Wrestling but they changed the name to WCW in 82 so idk go 82 to Black Saturday that would be cool too. Fuck if I was in charge of Network content I’d put the 8 months of WWF World Championship Wrestling too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedbynumbers Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I'd love to have them finish 1989 and get into 1990. I have 89-94 on DVD but I'd love WWE quality and to have it all on the network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Okay I assume that when he mentioned in his hip surgery that he heard his own entrance music while the drugs kicked in was just him joking. I mean those drugs are good but not that scary Taker talking about his relationship with Vince was the highlight of episode 2 to me. I don't know if I would say something like "I would take a bullet for Vince" given Vince but that is some loyalty Also funny that of all the funny they bring in to help Taker get ready for his match against Cena, it was Primo. Funny how they use guys that literally do nothing in the company to work with legends. I can't remember did Primo get released with Epico or just Epico Edited May 17, 2020 by hammerva 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you forgot for a sec just how awful Vince is it was a really sweet scene. And I think I did hear his theme when they started surgery though that could have just been edited in. And it was cool seeing his WM 34 match. Even being in the nosebleeds I'm happy to say I saw all that live. It could have gone longer but I don't think they trusted him to go longer than he did after 33. Can't say I blame them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 He really gets a free pass for being such a massive mark for himself under the guise of "protecting his character". Wearing his do-rag into surgery seems grossly unhygenic. People give Hogan shit for wearing one with a tux. The BSK tattoo is something that never seems to get its due criticism for me. It's a pretend gang that he made up with his coworkers in response to another workplace gang where the concept was made obsolete maybe a year after he got it. That just seems inherently stupid to me. The narrative of going out on his own terms, professional pride and not at all to do with the Saudi money on offer is classic carney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
