WWE Network Wormhole Thread

[s@ppisgod]

I'll gladly say that I haven't "got" any of Trips' career, minus his matches with Foley. And thats more on Foley making him look good. His matches wiyh Austin stunk, his matches with UT I thought were HIGHLY overrated, even his matches with HBK or Angle weren't that good. Was only ok with The Rock. Force-fed to the topeven before inheriting the company. And yeah, he wants to be made to look like 100x more badass than Brock or Regal or any guys who are actual bad dudes. It comes off as serious overcompensation, even by wrestling standards.

Mr. Fuji was a really shitty manager.

The Triple H matches are pretty tough to watch a second time to round. I can still recognize they were good, but they were too much about the story telling...especially the second one. The first one, too...there are matches in Triple H's career that try too hard to make him look like a bad ass...that was one of them.

In retrospect...one thing about Triple H's career that bugs me...the best characters are guys who have their own personality turned up to 100. Triple H is not a bad ass. Not even a little bit. Yet, most of his career, he has projected himself as some ultimo-hombre, especially as he has gotten older. Those Brock matches are fuckin brutal watches based on that fact alone. No way in hell could a softy juice head like Triple H hang with Brock for five minutes, let alone these epic battles with a former UFC champ.

His whole gimmick just seems disingenuous to me. :shrug:

And this is coming from an era that has a 70 year old-looking, former zombie with faux MMA skillz as the most badass character in the company and I can buy it every time.

Give a guy a sledgehammer, and I guess that immediately makes him a bad ass :shifty:

I like Triple H, I really do, but it became forced around the middle of last decade, and then he was getting main events for him based solely off of who he was to Vince. Nothing sticks out, and the whole Legacy against the McMahons and then DX was awful.

At least this WM, Danielson will carry him to a classic and we will forget about it for a time. But matches involving H's hold up very poorly.

Ralphus in a dress :lol2:

Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards
Worst Manager of the Year (1984, 1985, 1987–1995)

Too bad this award is defunct, it could be dedicated to Fuji like the Flair/Thesz & Brody awards.

I don't know, I think based on the storyline, Trips is going to beat the living shit out of Bryan, completely dominate him, attempt to destroy him & kill him off...but then lose in the end, sending Bryan into the main event, but ultimately "weakened"and feed to the two lions.

So when does the payoff happen? If either Orton or Batista go over in the main event, that place is going to erupt in boos we have never seen before.

Attitude Era mid-card are THE WORST.

So.fuckin.bad.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Find the worst Attitude Era PPV card.......if you can sit through all of them :lol2:

Bryan will win, but the Trips beating + having to overcome two heels will be the story. That's how I see it, anyway. Vince loves the overcoming crazy odds angle.

I think Bryan pins Orton to put that story to bed, and then feuds with Batista post Mania.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I just can not watch these Best of RAWs from the Attitude Era.

Caught it at the tail end of McMahon begging Austin to deliver the suitcase to The Undertaker.
Val Venis v. D-Lo
Triple H v. Billy Gunn
Test and Bossman v. Foley and Big Show

Turned off.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

They just posted the World Class ep right after the Freebird turn in the Flair/Kerry match. They did a great Freebirds vignette with Bill Mercer interviewing the Birds at Terry Gordy's house while they shoot pool. You can faintly here "Freebird" playing underneath the lame generic southern rock song overdub, which is quite the cocktease. But the interview is great stuff. Gordy explains why he slammed the door on Kerry. I bought his reasoning. Shoulder shrug.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Saturday Night's Main Event & Clash of the Champions archives will supposedly start going up after the free trials are over. Presumably they are shutting down the free trials 7 days before Mania, which obviously makes sense.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Aint nothin like ECW late at night.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Matty IN THE HOUSE is just as annoying 20 years later.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

nWo was good for a few months...then it took a nose dive.

After they got rid of Dibiase and put in Bischoff...right in the toilet.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Is Saliva still on a retainer with WWE?

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

They are now showing random matches to kill time in between shows. They showed Sting vs Vader the other day, and Dustin Rhodes vs Steve Austin. Both tremendous bouts, so somebody with a clue is selecting these things.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

WWE might pick this up for their network. :rambo:

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

They MUST pick up that show.
