The only match in history that was so badass that it led one of the participants to believe he was a pirate.
Surprised WWE hasn't come up with that by now. Considering they're blatantly ripping off TNA now, I figure they're going to start ripping off WCW's horrible ideas soon. When RoboCop guest hosts RAW to plug the long-delayed remake, don't say I didn't warn you.
Mick Foley is the type of man that would walk into a booking meeting and say, "You know what would really add drama to this match? If you had HHH hit me in the head with a cinder block and stab me in the chest."
We already got a PG-13 RoboCop movie 20 years ago and it sucked. Royally sucked.
Making a PG-13 RoboCop movie is like making a PG-13 American Ninja movie (and we got that too, same year as RoboCop 3 no less). It should never, ever be done.
Those kind of movies are born to be R-rated, don't let the success of "Taken" fool you. For every Taken, we get about 15 forgettable PG-13 rated pieces of crap like "Armored", "Takers" and "The Losers" to name just a few.
MGM's not cash-strapped anymore thanks to Skyfall (and to a lesser extent Zookeeper, 21 Jump Street and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), so yes they're definitely going through with the remake now.
Why so many downvotes? I'd throw out a suggestion. Jericho and Lance Storm vs. Heavenly Bodies in SMW. Jericho wrestled the match with a freshly broken arm and actually took a lot of the heat in the match. Hell of a match and a pretty gnarly bladejob as well.
I fucking love this match!
ReplyDeleteDo we get to make suggestions?
ReplyDeleteIf you ever start a (Not) Great Wrestlecrap-worthy Angle of the day series, I vote for the post-match nonsense that WCW came up with.
ReplyDeleteBut I love this match as well.
Those guys are both sick puppies
ReplyDeleteAnd both their tails are always wagging.

please make this a daily event :)
ReplyDeleteWWE will 100% have Robocop as a guest host if that movie is ever actually remade. And Vince won't even see the irony...
ReplyDeleteThis wasn't the match where he wakes up in Cleveland, that was the powerbomb match.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it IS being remade.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be amazing. I'm really hoping they edit it down to a PG-13 just so Vince will actually hire fucking Robocop for a night.
ReplyDeletedafaq would you want a PG13 Robocop movie?
ReplyDeleteRight, this was the first match of the two. This match necessitated the rematch that put Jack on the shelf.
ReplyDeleteI have no intention of seeing it either way so I want pg-13 for the possibility of a WWE crossover.
ReplyDeleteWow, that were some stiff shots. I'd forgotten how much so.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, sorry to Jack Nicholson this thread, but this headline is posted on 411mania:
ReplyDeleteWWE .... ...Releasing ... John Cena .....
Or at least that's what I momentarily read before I actually paid attention to the rest of the words. The paradigm momentarily shifted there.

ReplyDeleteAwesome! Really glad to see Scott's Random great match of the day continue. We got from Puro to WCW. I like it. Great match too.

ReplyDeleteUnedited? I seem to recall this match having two people on commentary...
