The Steve Austin Show
Will listen to the Samoa Joe one tonight, could be interesting I guess.

Nah, that was WWF Attitude out a couple of years later. The game was too far into development to remove him, so he was included with a tribute o him at the start of the game.

Summerslam Live Thoughts
Pretty much every time Cena faces someone bigger than him it's built up as "can he beat the odds and defeat this massive beast", and his mantra of never giving up is a staple of his t-shirt line. But isn't that the role of any babyface facing a monster? No trying to nit pick, just saying.

WWF fans vs WCW fans
I love looking at Monday Night War WCW crowds. It's like by looking at some of them, they have no idea what wrestling is. They look like toothless, hillbilly scum waving their beer in the air... but then you think to buy a front row seat they must love the product. Somethign tells me this breed of cat isn't watching PWG these days.

Randy Savage
I'm curently working my way through the WWE 3 disc set as it goes, there is a lot of good stuff i nthere, but it only scratches the surface really. he should have another 3 set released with a lot more rare material. I live in hope that the 94 Bret Hart matches were filmed properly and not just existing through fan cam...

Roddy Piper
I liked him growing up, he was fun. 1992 was a stand out period for me, I wish he wrestled more. He should of had a match at Summerslam with Shawn Michaels that year to really get Shawn ready to main event the next PPV.

Bret Hart
It gets better once you get older and realise it wasn't a gimmick...

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
Surely it has to happen one week where one of the "nerd" plants just turns around and punches him in the face full pelt. It would be better than the 123 Kid pinning Razor...

Current WWE
I'm surprised so many people think this will last until Wrestlemania for a big payoff. With the exception of the Rock / Cena stuff fro mthe last couple of years, it's been impossible to forecast Wrestlemania in the Summer. If you look back over the last ten years, not a lot has been very typical of the summer events. As a huge DB fan, I hope I'm wrong though, I'd love to see him get a huge moment o nthe big show with a lot of build.

Dave Meltzer stuff
Jerry Brisco, for whatever reason, has always struck me as a massive bell.

Most Puzzling Signings Ever
I agree it was odd, but for the record, he hadn't been strictly retired for years. Sadly, he did die a couple after WCW though from cancer.

Convoluted contract logic in pro wrestling
Flair was to the consortium as Bischoff was to Fusient Media Ventures. "THE CONSORTIUM WAS ME!" was Flair blowing the line, I think."" I don't think it was meant to be taken litterally. Its like RVD saying his the Whole Fucking Show... in business speak...

Summerslam Live Thoughts
I don't see the Bryan / Cena link personally. Bryan has been playing a plucky underdog who believes he can get the job done. I don't remember the same dynamic for Cena in any situation.

I can't see the Mania title picture being in stone at this point, at all.

Rebooking Bret Harts' first title run
He should have won the title from Flair at Survivor Series 92, that's the only thing I'd of changed. I liked the Yoko feud going into Mania. I'd of liked to see Bret vs Warrior at RR for histories sake also, as Bret had suggested in his book.

I odn't like seeing peole unemployed... but I kinda wish he would just go. I have done for a long time.

What are you watching?
I'm watching a load of old RF shoot interviews from the 90's. They look dog shit and the questioning is shit, but when the wrestlers get on a roll with their stories, they're brilliant.

Dave Meltzer stuff
I'd like to know this too.

Somebody mentioned WCW World Tour above -that game was a revelation at the time. No wrestling game had ever had such depth before and it was pretty fucking special for that reason. At the same time, WarZone came along which also ticked the boxes as being something special, but again, the roster was somewhat out dated by the time of release. I imagie some kid picking it up and being like, "WHo the hell are Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart?"

Dreamcast had the awful Royal Rumble game, which was fun for about 2 minutes. It looked good at the time (graphics and whatnot) bu the roster was out of date by the time of release, it was an arcade based game, and was.... shit.

Crowdsourcing: Ric Flair drinking/spending stories
Watched it the other day. Flair was embarrassing on that. "Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel..."
-
Bret Hart
Was that the match Bret wrote about in his book where Hawk was massively unprepared / drugged up / drunk for the match and cost it being as could as it should have been? I think they only had the one encounter so I assume it was, but could be wrong?
-
Summerslam Live Thoughts
Daniel Bryan is not Stone Cold, and a lot of the reason the crowd are into him is because of the underdog vibe. We will have to see how it plays out, I like o think Bryan will have the last laugh.

Love Flair's quote about having more money than time! Whoooo
