Nope. I did it first on Brad & Chad and then on the Kevin Kelly Show... Ripped it off from there (can you rip off from yourself?) ... As apparently you did too... I knew Johnny was going to get butt hurt by this and then JR pointed out that Sorrow had ripped it off made me feel better . I think we are going to do Macho Man and Nikita Koloff impersonations on the next show.

Completely forgot about the challenge.

i have a friend who's name rhymes with Donnie Borrow who tried to defend this stupid angle to me during a phone conversation one time. He was drunk.

Let's use spoiler tags for something that hasn't aired yet.

Fuck yeah! I need to find a way to incorporate "Public Struggle, Private Pain" into every conversation I have with Childs from now until forever.

We can compare gates. How did the New Orleans gate compare to previous Manias?

The first Foley match is good but I'm not sure HIAC holds up. The Taka match is a myth in that it's nothing special at all, especially for Taka matches. Patterson/Briscoe did a much better job with the Mean Street Posse a year earlier in terms of carry jobs. It wasn't even good. HHH, the villain, overcomes Taka, Funaki and the APA who were hired by Kaientai earlier in the show. TAKA was never on offense for a prlonged amount of time, and when he was, it was 4 on 1. The TAKA match is garbage and actually accentuates the worst HHH tendencies. It is not a credit to him as a performer or wrestler.

She wouldn't really because she doesn't have that level of charisma.

Not going to happen when I have to wake up for work the next morning. The trade off is I can get the show ready to post around the time RAW airs if I let the show go on. Another trade off is I have less people on the show.

How did he get worked on the contract? Explain.

I like the idea of the Duds because it gets all the guys I don't want to see out of the way in one match. It will be long so I can go get dinner or something.

Both were blade jobs.

Jay Lethal and Seth Rollins are one in the same as far as I am concerned. Bad heel Champs that Wrestle like spotty faces. EC3 should just stick to wrestling Spud for the rest of his life.

Going off the rails is par for the course.

it's up and ready to go

The observation is that the ratings did not match the discussion.

I also want to emphasize that with very few historical exceptions (Tiger Mask vs Dynamite is the easy example), the nominating committee on the DVDVR project selected the matches we enjoyed most. It wasn't like we were anti-Flair going in. We liked the Flair matches and made sure they were included on the sets. They are in our opinion., the Best of the Best of the available footage at the time. That includes Flair matches. It includes Lawler matches. It includes some Brody and Dory Funk matches even though those guys suck. The idea there is an inherent anti-Flair movement in the DVDVR process is definitely not true.

With the old DVDVR board going down we can't really answer that question.

I'm coming back at you with Tommy and Who's Next.

Parv completely misinterpreted my point. My argument using Bigelow and Rude, Bundy etc. was that Lawler was a better broomstick worker. Lawler still had classics with great wrestlers like Dundee (for 4 decades), Funk, Bock, Mantel, Tommy Rich, etc. For example, do I think that the Dundee series is as good as Flair-Steamboat? In my view, absolutely!!!! Include the build to the matches and I will take Dundee-Lawler every single day of the week without missing a beat. Here is a list of matches Phil has labelled as Epic in his own rating system. I haven't seen all of them but it isn't like Lawler doesn't have a large range of great matches. This doesn't include the greatest matches from Lawler on the 80s sets. It has tons of indy stuff, I'll let Phil explain his rating system but the idea that Lawler doesn't have his stash of great matches isn't something I believe to be true... Jerry Lawler v.
