I dug around for this one. US title on the line here, and if anyone from the WWE Network is reading (and why wouldn't they be), THIS is Video Vault worthy.
The fact that the network doesn't have someone whose job it is to search youtube and daily motion for the matches with the most views and comments and ratings and then throw those up in the video fault....then get the youtube and motion sites to shut them down..boggles my mind.
Spent do much money on that one at the card (I'm talking $20 at a time)...then the N64 version came out. Then the Dreamcast version came out. Co-op Legends was the shit
As much nostalgic fondness as I have for Mr. Nanny and Suburban Commando, objectively I probably do have to give the edge to Tooth Fairy and Game Plan. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch any of them at this point, though.
Ambrose needs to bring back the black wifebeater. He has shades of Jamie Noble in the grey and white, and not in a good way. He looks more like "Psycho killer ex-boyfriend" than "Cool but unbalanced current boyfriend"
I think his look is fine. And he wears streetclothes backstage, which is a nice touch.
Speaking of Ambrose, I never would have guessed he had so much potential as a face. I pegged him as a top-level heel with his VERY punchable face (I mean that in the best possible way), but man his comedic timing is really good, too. "What? It's for charity!"
Eh, I thought SvR 06-08's controls were better. The grappling system they introduced in '07 was pretty good but they never fully fleshed it out and eventually scrapped it altogether.
I loved the first DoR and played it NONSTOP, but DoR2 had the most frustrating AI I've ever dealt with in a wrestling video game - in particular, tag matches were just unbearable because the other guy's partner would break up any strong grapple you did. Plus, the soundtrack and presentation were total crap compared to the first.
Lol @ Rock mistaking Hornswoggle for a make a wish a kid and then laughing about it/not caring when Big Show told him he was on the roster. Now I guess they have "heat."
while he still has the job he certainly should not be talking shit about the guy that everyone everyone has a legit reason to bow down to if he so chooses to ever grace their company again for a match and a big payday for everyone involved.
Ambrose is okay. Could be better, but he makes it work. Reigns is wearing some god awful thing that they need to get him out of ASAP. And Rollins just looks like Snake Pliskin from Escape from LA minus the eye patch.
I'm sorry, a bit of hyperbole. Let me elaborate. Being a star and headlining wrestlemania ($$$) means more than winning the title. Winning the title is a very big deal if we're in kayfabe mode.
I love Ambrose's rolled-outta-bed look, it fits his personality to a T. I'm just waiting for Seth Rollins to throw in a line about how he had to make sure Dean dressed himself properly as a Shield member.
I like that they fined the Seahawks for what amounts to trying hard, the NFL where GUYS can be GUYS and do GUY things and get FINES for being GUYS, fuck yeah.
Utter shit establishment for an utter shit sport. Enjoy it while you can boys, another few years and pulling your kid out of Grid Kids will be a cultural movement.
Pushing Reigns over the other two is like when they had Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart on the roster, but they gave the belt to Diesel for a year because of his great hair.
Tully was a fantastic douchebag heel, but he could also wrestle; even a basic match like that, and he holds on to the title while making Taylor look good.
I maintain that the match Brock and Cena just had is the one they SHOULD have had for Brock's big return. And he should still be undefeated.
ReplyDeleteFantastic stuff. Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteD'oh, you're right! Damn it Oprah, they only announce that 25X every show!
ReplyDeleteWinning the title at Mania means nothing? lolwat
ReplyDeleteI refuse to believe Terry Taylor ever had a good match.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that the network doesn't have someone whose job it is to search youtube and daily motion for the matches with the most views and comments and ratings and then throw those up in the video fault....then get the youtube and motion sites to shut them down..boggles my mind.
ReplyDeleteJust watched some SummerSlam highlights. Amazing to me how EVERY Shield member got an attire downgrade after the split.
ReplyDeleteI like Ambrose attire. Reigns looks like a laser tag player and Rollins is wearing a leather version of Triple H's 1996 attire.
ReplyDeleteHe had a whole career before he became wrestling poultry. He was the top babyface in several territories.
ReplyDeleteThe SWAT gear was cool, but I also dig Rollins' sleeveless Winter Soldier-ish get up
ReplyDeleteThey're funny cause they're true
ReplyDeleteFor as much of a douche as Terry Taylor appears to be, he was a good wrestler.
ReplyDeleteSpent do much money on that one at the card (I'm talking $20 at a time)...then the N64 version came out. Then the Dreamcast version came out. Co-op Legends was the shit
ReplyDeleteReigns attire has changed from black, to blue, then to yellow.
ReplyDeleteIt all depends which laser tag team he's playing for that night.
ReplyDeleteAs much nostalgic fondness as I have for Mr. Nanny and Suburban Commando, objectively I probably do have to give the edge to Tooth Fairy and Game Plan. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch any of them at this point, though.
ReplyDeleteAll he needs now is a backstage segment where he's hanging out with NPH as Barney planning a laser tag strategy.
ReplyDeleteAmbrose needs to bring back the black wifebeater. He has shades of Jamie Noble in the grey and white, and not in a good way. He looks more like "Psycho killer ex-boyfriend" than "Cool but unbalanced current boyfriend"
ReplyDeleteWhat if he retweeted his alt accounts?
ReplyDeleteEverything was a downgrade after the turtlenecks.
ReplyDeleteAnother one for the video vault? Blanchard v Ronnie Garvin for the TV title, which took up the entire hour. That match was boss.
ReplyDeleteI like Dean and Seth; don't like Roman.
ReplyDeleteI think his look is fine. And he wears streetclothes backstage, which is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Ambrose, I never would have guessed he had so much potential as a face. I pegged him as a top-level heel with his VERY punchable face (I mean that in the best possible way), but man his comedic timing is really good, too. "What? It's for charity!"
3 days later and I still can use the WWE Network even though my account is expired!
ReplyDeleteYou have seven days left.
ReplyDeleteEh, I thought SvR 06-08's controls were better. The grappling system they introduced in '07 was pretty good but they never fully fleshed it out and eventually scrapped it altogether.
ReplyDeleteYet he's an American born in Michigan. It makes him seem really suspicious.
ReplyDeleteI loved the first DoR and played it NONSTOP, but DoR2 had the most frustrating AI I've ever dealt with in a wrestling video game - in particular, tag matches were just unbearable because the other guy's partner would break up any strong grapple you did. Plus, the soundtrack and presentation were total crap compared to the first.
ReplyDeleteMan this clip just makes me pissed off this show isn't on the network.
ReplyDeleteLol @ Rock mistaking Hornswoggle for a make a wish a kid and then laughing about it/not caring when Big Show told him he was on the roster. Now I guess they have "heat."
ReplyDeleteDid you see that they snuck in a Nitro? I posted a link in the daily update thread. It's the second episode with Hogan vs. Luger.
ReplyDeleteFree 10 days?
ReplyDeleteWoah, I just pulled up your comment. That's s great sign then. Hopefully they dump a bunch on (and more draws)
ReplyDeleteRock vs. Hornswoggle - WM XXXI
ReplyDeleteSo Brodus Clay was right about Hornswoggle being a prick after all.
ReplyDeleteYEah, apparently that's going to be your "Free" 10 day trial period.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the guy was on Nash Bridges for crying out loud. He definitely would have done SNL.
ReplyDeleteNormally I side with the "victim" in back stage stuff but...you are hornswaggle...he is the rock...suck it up and move on.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Hornswoggle should be grateful he even has a job well past his expiration date of 2007.
ReplyDeletewhile he still has the job he certainly should not be talking shit about the guy that everyone everyone has a legit reason to bow down to if he so chooses to ever grace their company again for a match and a big payday for everyone involved.
ReplyDeleteYou kind of have to be a prick if you are his size in a WWE locker room. People would walk all over him if he couldn't stand his ground.
ReplyDeleteHe'd actually do a much better job of it today than he would have 15 years ago.
ReplyDeleteAmbrose is okay. Could be better, but he makes it work. Reigns is wearing some god awful thing that they need to get him out of ASAP. And Rollins just looks like Snake Pliskin from Escape from LA minus the eye patch.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I didn't think Ambrose as a face was a good fit, but he is making it work by being unlike so many other smilin' babyfaces on the roster.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, a bit of hyperbole. Let me elaborate. Being a star and headlining wrestlemania ($$$) means more than winning the title. Winning the title is a very big deal if we're in kayfabe mode.
ReplyDeleteThey would all shit in his little bag.
ReplyDeleteAldon Smith suspended 9 games!!!!!!!!!! Omg this is bad....FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU NFL
ReplyDeleteWho would you have beat an undefeated Brock?
ReplyDeleteRead a recap of Sabu's '97 ECW timeline...SA-FUCKIN'-BU is afraid of heights?! That's like finding out Santa hates snow.
ReplyDeleteWait, you think Brock should've beaten Cena at Extreme Rules? What a unique and groundbreaking opinion!
ReplyDeleteAs we all know, Vince is always right.
ReplyDeleteExactly. John Cena already terrorizes the guy enough each week by stealing his beach towel and showing it off to the audience and camera on Raw.
ReplyDeleteHe misses the New Orleans game too... YES!
ReplyDeleteNever Give Up
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite quotes about wrestling is from Nash: " wrestling is work, but when they put that belt on you, it's a shoot."
ReplyDeleteThat isn't the point.
ReplyDelete"Grown man dressing like a kid?"
ReplyDelete...Cena?
did he beat up 4,5 women?
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to say shit retroactively.
ReplyDeleteHe had great matches after as well, he and Bobby eaton got to 4 stars at Halloween Havoc 1991.
ReplyDeleteGuy is an idiot and a screw up. Equal parts talented and jackass.
ReplyDeleteplease that would get him like...4 games He must have smoked pot.....in San Francisco...
ReplyDeleteTo quote one of my favorite songs, that boy needs therapy
ReplyDeleteBo
ReplyDeleteSame, he's killing it and the street clothes add to the Loose Cannon persona. The ice bucket thing was pretty funny
ReplyDeleteDe Gas
ReplyDeleteI love Ambrose's rolled-outta-bed look, it fits his personality to a T. I'm just waiting for Seth Rollins to throw in a line about how he had to make sure Dean dressed himself properly as a Shield member.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought. Goodell did the right thing for a change
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Goodell fucked up by giving too many games.
ReplyDeleteBut I guess he learned from his mistake, so SF gets the first hit.
Aldon, I got some BAD NEWS...
I like that they fined the Seahawks for what amounts to trying hard, the NFL where GUYS can be GUYS and do GUY things and get FINES for being GUYS, fuck yeah.
ReplyDeleteUtter shit establishment for an utter shit sport. Enjoy it while you can boys, another few years and pulling your kid out of Grid Kids will be a cultural movement.
Jim Irsay deserves help.
ReplyDeleteAldon Smith deserves the worse.
NFL is awesome.
They should have broken out the shields after the disbanding.
ReplyDeletePushing Reigns over the other two is like when they had Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart on the roster, but they gave the belt to Diesel for a year because of his great hair.
ReplyDeleteHe loves CAPS LOCK more than my aunt.
ReplyDeleteInside Barstool joke.
ReplyDeleteTully was a fantastic douchebag heel, but he could also wrestle; even a basic match like that, and he holds on to the title while making Taylor look good.
ReplyDeleteHey UFC just tweeted tune in to espnnews for breaking ufc news...anyone know whats up?
ReplyDeleteSIX CARDS IN SEPTEMBER
ReplyDeleteOH SHIT....word is Barao is out for the main event tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteUFC front pages says weigh-in for tomorrow's fight. 2 women I never heard of.
ReplyDeleteMFK
ReplyDeleteBabydoll
Precious
Sunshine
A). Then
B). Now
Was this pre-Horsemen or just after the formation .
ReplyDeletePre-Horsemen. Tully fires Baby Doll and joins JJ Dillon. The Horsemen form in the fall of 85, I believe.
