Pre WM 25, was Taker in any matches on Mania that could be called classics? Oh, maybe the Batista match (23?), but I haven't seen it in awhile. What's amazing is that Taker stepped up his game in these physical matches at this later stage of his career, when before he was never really part of anything that underlined his athletic ability. Hell, if you think about it the only legendary match he was part of at all in the 90's was the one where Mick flew off the cage. -
He should have done something like this in the 90's with ECW fans. I would have loved to seen that. This, not so much.
-
What else does he do?
-
I guess that is making this the Jake Roberts Show then for me.

Every so often I get excited to watch the new ones. There have been some good ones in the last ten years. The one in 2007 with Undertaker and Shawn at the end, and the one where the ring filled up with guys who just refused to be thrown out. The concept match that will probably never come back is War Games, and with good reason. It's a pretty stale concept compared to the Rumble and Survivor Series. All the great War Games matches and ones that I have seen were all designed to keep the babyfaces in peril, which lead to the top guy coming in last which lead to The Match Beyond.

Would be great if the crowd threw in the "What?" chant too, since he genuinely hates that.
-
Paul Wight's on today. Some good stories, and they have a great rapport together.
-
Are they going to announce more?
-
I've seen Kerwin in a few documentaries, specifically the Curt Hennig one where they talk about the outtakes from his spots where he shows his supposed "perfection" at other sports. Funny stuff. I just think it's odd and almost bordering on cold that the announcers never did it on the level WCW did. Unless it was part of an angle or something truly unpredictable like the heart attack.
-
What's really weird is that they were in Memphis, where you'd probably expect that sort of interview to take place in L.A.
-
I mentioned this in another thread, but one difference I notice is when WCW announcers would give credit to cameramen like Jackie Crockett, and WWF almost never would acknowledge their technical crew (unless it was part of an angle). The only time I can think of is when Bobby Heenan praised the camera work at the Royal Rumble '92. This still seems to go on.

The way Randy could have maintained heat during the build-up to WM would have been to have some friction between him and Austin. After Mania, there's a four-way feud going with Bret, Steve, Randy and Shawn. Hell, I could see Randy eventually aligning himself with McMahon in '98 after his heel turn. Randy and Steve in '98 would have been pure money.
-
Mick Foley said he'll be on the show next Wednesday.
-
Someone is going to use that line eventually.
-
Not at all. I don't know if they do it every year but they should. I missed the segment, is it just going to be for New Orleans or is it going to be an annual thing?
-
He put over Mark Henry too right?
-
Someone on Twitter tonight said he could return to WrestleMania, and compete in the Andre The Giant Battle Royal as Pepsi Machine.
-
-
To be honest I think Buff's not doing too bad either. Did you see his rates?
-
I don't watch the show, but I imagine (unlike the Vick angle) that there is a point and a reason for it on the show.
-
Help me out here. This, the aforementioned bash 92, etc - these are shown on the live stream as filler before the next scheduled program begins? They show matches and segments as filler. Yesterday I saw Taka Michinoku vs. Brian Christopher from the last In Your House show, and the weird-ass segment with Jake and The Ultimate Warrior today. The Raw I mentioned is programming, but I'm not sure if it's the whole episode. I think it's 90 minutes without commercials except whatever ads they ran, so it could be the whole thing.
-
They have Better Call Saul coming in November. That's more of a no-brainer for them since it's following in the steps of the great success that was BB. It could be very appealing to AMC at this point to have 4-5 hours of high-rated programming, whether or not it originated with them. Whether WWE thinks it works for them is another matter though. Like I said, they have barely any live programming let alone something that would pre-empt WWE on Monday and Friday nights.
-
Now that I think about it, AMC would actually be the best choice for them. McMahon doesn't want to be trumped by other live programming like sporting events or award shows. I think the only live programming AMC has ever done were the chat shows following The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad.

Dwayne also saw his father go from bringing the people on their feet at MSG to toiling in obscurity, so he knew full well how the business chewed people up and spit them out before he even put on a pair of trunks. And surely Punk has seen it happen with his own eyes, so he knew the score as well. Plus he seems the type to have wanted to burn out than fade away, so I think the Chicago show and the company's reaction are vindication enough that he left a mark.

Got to admit I'm not as bowled over by these WrestleMania Rewind specials as everyone else seems to be here. Some of the inside stuff is cool, but is basically common knowledge to anyone as well-read as some of us are on that period of their history. Someone said it's like 30 For 30, I think it's more like one of those where the only talking head is Chuck Klosterman.
