Well, Sarko isn't in politics anymore. Officialy. But if the UMP can't find a guy that can draws in 2017, they'll go back to Sarko like Vince went back to Bret in 95. As far as leaving, hell, everyone was hysterical about Gerard Depardieu first leaving for Belgium and then for Russia. RUSSIA ! But as great as Depardieu has been as an actor, it's well known he's a complete drunk dick at this point. Shitloads of sports guy don't pay their taxes despite having beneficiated from the State's high level training schools, as soon as they make money they fly off to Monaco or Swiss, and my dumbfuck compadre still cheer as all hell for them. As far as politics goes, it would be a no-no obviously. We're not nearly as bad as Italy (which is a mind-blowing country in that respect), but tons of shit happens here that would never be allowed in anglo-saxons countries in term of corruption and conflict of interest. French people are never happy anyway, we're grumpy people. -
I'm not touching this thread with a ten foot pole...

This is the greatest vignette in the history of our sport. The first minute with Hogan exploring the Dungeon is hilarious. You gotta love the musical themes of the monsters discretly being heard as Hogan mentions them, it's nearly Prokofiev. The debut of The Giant. I maintain this is all in Sullivan's fucked up mind. Or Sullivan put some acid in Hogan's drink at catering. There's no way this place exist. THIS IS NOT HOT !!!

Without putting in too much thought : Funk (Terry), Hansen, Flair, Windham, Morton, Guerrero (Eddie), Savage, Steamboat... hum... Vader, Mysterio or Tully or Eaton or Anderson (Arn)... Haven't seen enough Rose or Bock to really compare, ditto Race and the old masters like Brisco, Thesz and such...

Thus far the Bluebloods have been pretty fun considering the garbage they had to work with : Nasties and Harlem Heat. But yeah, Eaton had slipped by that time. Washed up ? I wouldn't say so. He was still really damn solid in everything he was doing, and yeah he wasn't given any chance after that really (although the Bluebloods really didn't get that much of a chance either when you think about it).

Not to be a shit stirrer or anything, but that doesn't say that WWF had a deeper roster to me, it says that WWF had mostly a shitty taste in pro-wrestling.

You got a laugh out of me on that one. Poor Shawn. But yeah, it was a total postmodern match *totally* based on "acting" and "scriptwriting", not in a Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior way but in a "it isn't a wrestling match, it is a scene from a movie" way. Pure shit. The infamous "Sorry, I love you", was enough for me to hate that Flair match which was already outrageously ridiculous and sad on his own, but this took things to another level. I sure hope we get more of this at Mania this year though, it's "interesting" to see where they go from there.

The match sucked so much, and I'm so tired of the damn streak/self-conscious yearly Taker epic gimmick at this point that even that fact isn't great to me. Now, Taker losing his streak to HHH, that would have been pretty awesome actually only for the shitstorm it would have provoqued.

Dylan beat me to it. There's nothing great about Taker vs HHH from last year, from any perspective, shape or form. It was greatly laughable and terrible all around.

I don't think I would say they are *great* matches, but they most certainly are awesome five minutes matches if that makes any sense. Maybe it doesn't.

I know. Well that was fun actually.

I wish. But nah, he's not leaving. He'll make a comeback in 2017 I fear, as the babyface reign of Hollande doesn't work very well thus far.

And there it is, Loss finally snapped.

Yes. (I know, that's a rather detailed answer) Usually when a match is too short to be *great* we use the *great 10 minutes match* or *great short match* line instead of simply *great*. It may be stupid, and it does lead to the idiotic conception that every great match has to be a 30 minutes epic (the HHH syndrome), but usually you have to go to a certain lenght to have the time to develop the structure and build to a satisfying apex. I don't think that lenght should be that long, 15 minutes is long enough to develop into a great match, and most workers should never even try for 30 (don't even talk about 60). But I'd say yes, at least to me. But hey, I love foreplays, so there is that too.

Didn't Raven do an ether spot at some point to make fun of the predominance of this stuff in Cornette's promotion ? Anyway, really good match, glad to see the Bodies back, although they were on their last legs, as Dr. Tom will soon hook up with Candido and Del Rey will sadly become a JTTS on WCW TV. Table spot, uh ? It's 1995 I guess, someone is gaining popularity...
