Grimmas

Wow so I try really hard to not make gay jokes or insults because for 1 I was pretty sure one Admin was gay, and 2 because it's wrong I don't wanna perpetuate that(and I have been tested immensely this week too believe me). And thats how I get cut up for not liking an overrated match, as gay. And that's the whole thing when you make fun of someone calling them gay, then you kinda make a joke of some people lives. Maybe I'm more progressive on this issue than women. But thank you Jimmy for laying down exactly which opinions are factual. . Wasn't a gay joke. You implied the only reason people like the Sasha match is due to attraction to her. That comment was just a reversal of that. The fact you have to try to not do gay jokes is not progressive, but pathetic. By the way, being a sexist does not make you progressive.

We will hook those up for sure1

I loved that tag feud last time I saw it and made a playlist this summer to re-watch it, but never got to it.

Except, it was absolutely different in the WWE as of a year or two ago. At one point, the women were told not to hit as hard as the men, etc. Saying I don't like WWE divas wrestling during that time is one thing. Saying I don't like women's wrestling in general is just weird.

I love Foley, but that post to me is just shilling socks and mentioning that someone suggested him for a storyline and got shot down. It seems to be the opinion of most people who watch Raw, so it's not like anything he said was incredibly false or anything.

So you come into a poll thread for what purpose then? If you haven't seen the match then you have nothing to add. Also, what do you have against women's wrestling?

Watching Andre is always a joy and this is a younger and in good shape Andre in a cowboy vest. Early on we are going through armlocks and standing counter wrestling. Andre is pretty good at this and it's real neat to see a situation where normally the guy would be tripped and brought to the mat, but with Andre being so big it just slows the momentum and leans him back a little. Seiji starts to pick up the pace with a barrage of chops and slaps, which are sold well, but one Andre headbutt and Seiji goes down. I love these moments in Andre matches where it shows how much of a force he is. Back to holds and Seiji goes for a grab the head with the legs and flip him over move only to be slammed. Andre works the arm more, but Seiji grabs the head again with the legs and can get him over this time because Andre was already leaning. Such a cool spot.After a bit of the submission Andre reach the ropes and Seiji doesn't let him up but hits a barrage of MMA type knees. Like in UFC when you try to keep someone down. Actually there is great struggle in this match. You wouldn't compare it to MMA, but there is that essence of it being a fight but with wrestling moves. Big bump by Andre over the top, such a great contrast to his bump in 1989 Survivor Series. .Seiji from there has Andre hurt and is trying to figure out a way to put away the Giant, but stay away. Adds great drama, until an Andre big boot and big splash gets two. Seji is able to get Andre tied up in the ropes and just nails him, until Andre's manager pulls him out of the ring. From there the manager slaps the shit out of him and Andre comes over and holds him to do that. That gives the double countout. Post match Seiji makes a comeback and celebrates his draw. Really awesome stuff and it's fun to see Andre do these more traditional matches, but with the giant twist. ****

Modern video game type wrestling certainly exists, but it is not all current wrestling. There is lots of great old school feeling stuff out there, you just have to look for it. That is why I hate when people say it's the new style and you just have to accept it.

It can ruin the finish sure, but the whole match? The problem is not it ruining the match, but saying I can't suspend disbelief for this match, due to the post match? What about the first time it was watched?

It's what they did after the first match. Then they did the Dragonball storyline of the heel becoming good after losing to Goku/Bayley (both the post match and the build up to the second match seemed to indicate this) only for Sasha to turn again during the match and then turn back after the match. That's a lot closer to how TNA would book something than great narration. I don't think any of the hugging was supposed to be part of the storyline. It's just another example of a shoot moment the WWE has no problem showing in 2015 Why? See if they bothered to make a distinction between what's the "storyline" and what's not I could accept it. But they don't. Is twitter a vehicle for them to run storylines or can wrestlers act like actors on it? Wrestling has treated the post-match as a part of its sphere forever (this includes NXT too) and now they want to treat it like threater? It's an inconsequentialism on their part. That happened after the match. During the match why coudln't you or did the post match retroactively ruin the match?

Why?

There was an episode where Pete and Dylan debated Freebirds vs Shield on the Super Show that should go somewhere.

Great minds

You forgot the third category. Guys who not only keep the outfit and look, but go as far as to change their name to their team name. Category of one, Davey Boy!

I don't even remember doing some of those shows.

Bulldog seems to be the clear winner.

Hmm... I made my statements about Flair and have watched all of that stuff within the last few years.

I just think Bayley-Sasha is a better match. If Brock-Roman had a proper great finish then maybe it would had pushed it past it, but it didn't. The finish was shit. Also, I enjoyed the story of Bayley-Sasha better. The crowd was better. The finish was better. All around a better match.

That needs to be out there. Sounds like a match to make my top 100 matches ever list.

I agree, but not Russo. Russo would make this even worse. Bring in Ian Rotten, Dave Prazak, Gabe, Dutch Mantell, Jim Ross, Steve Austin, etc... Actually, it might be nice to do a guest GM, but the guest GM actually oversees creative for the show. As long as they watch the product and help the overall story. Just even for this dead period between Survivor Series and Rumble.

If Prazzak didn't say "man" he would be a million times better.

Amazing! Thanks Parv. Glad you loved it as much as me (4 1/2 stars). This was a sick dream match between a crazy death match worker and a strong style brawler and it really worked. I thought the commentary was good though, as it was essentially Prazak, Punk and I think Eddie Kingston marking out like crazy.

Sorry Parv. Trying to stick to the hour time frame meant something had to be left out.. plus that feud is over rated. Who rates it? (Apart from me and Dave Melzter circa 1988) That's true. I enjoy the series, but it's a series of 3.5 to maybe 4 star matches.
