Good call tbh. The finish to that match was sweet. Showed Lesnar's strength to be able to do that after a 20+ minute match.

Also in that clip I posted, I love how Taker has copped absolute beatings before and kicked out, including multiple finishers, sledgehammers and what not.

But an F-5 on the popcorn and he's out for the 3 count

Is this the only Jericho DVD, or has there been another previously?

Can't keep up with WWE dvds anymore. They churn them out, which is good, but difficult to follow.

 

[GIMH]

This is the first.

I think there was a VHS back in 2000, back when they used to release hour-long vids that featured clips of a heap of matches. Since they started doing the proper DVD sets of wrestlers, Jericho hasn't had one. Kane has. Taker has had two or three. Flair two, plus a horsemen double-set. Shawn has had three (one is just a double-disc tbf). It's about bloody time!

Big surprise is that the only Triple H DVD is only a double-disc set.

 

[Jono]

Man I hope it has some Jericho promos against Malenko.

Jericho in WCW back in 97/98 was IMO the funniest he has ever been. Some of the **** was genuinely comic genius.

Here's the full breakdown mate:

Breaking The Code: Behind The Walls of Chris Jericho DVD (3 Discs) : Silver Vision

The conspiracy stuff is on there. Can't wait.

You should pick it up mate. Do you still watch your old wrestling stuff, is it just the modern product you won't watch?

 

[Jono]

I actually just finished SummerSlam 2002 All the talk of Lesnar made me want to watch that match.

Plus Kurt vs. Rey, which is one of my favourite PPV openers of all time.

 

[Jono]

Overall actually just a fantastic card.

Flair vs. Jericho was interesting to see.

Edge and Eddie, Lance Storm and Christian (Unamericans ) vs. Booker and Goldust, who were absolutely gold back then (pun intended).

RVD vs. Benoit for IC title and of course Michaels vs. HHH.

I fast forwarded Taker vs. Test

 

[GIMH]

My mate and I have been watching PPVs in order from 2000, through 01 and the first few of 02. We've stalled lately because the Tagged Classics (a series of re-released PPVs in original format that get released as a double set, so cheap) haven't gone past Backlash 02, so I don't own any past then. Am itching to carry on though, largely because I can't wait to get up to that event.

Doing that made me realise that even though the booking was ******** in the InVasion, the PPVs were good. Even if outside the main event it was fairly pointless watching them order because the midcard titles were never on the same guy month to month!

 

[GIMH]

Awesome visual that I felt like posting

Man I hope it has some Jericho promos against Malenko.

Jericho in WCW back in 97/98 was IMO the funniest he has ever been. Some of the **** was genuinely comic genius.

The Man of a 1004 holds promo is awesome can almoast remember it word for word.

1 Arm Drag
2 Arm Bar
4 Sescatchuan (Sp) spinning nerve hold
721 Arm bar

Also his "Greenberg" stuff was really cutting edge at the time don't think they (Goldberg & Jericho) ever had a match in WCW thouh which did seem to waste a lot of that great work from Jericho.

Was anyone else gutted that Ralphus never went to the WWF with Jericho?

 

[Jono]

Ralphus wag!

Did Taker marry another chick or something? What's going on there?

 

[GIMH]

He's married to Michelle McCool, you know her?

 

[Jono]

Yeah I remember her. Thought I recognised the chick's face. Wasn't she one of the Diva contestants?

More to the point, what happened to the tatoo of 'Sara' on his neck?

Did DDP steal her away from him eventually

 

[GIMH]

Was funny, before Mania, me and my mate were getting drunk. My mate is a huge Shawn fan, but never gets impartial about wrestling, just watches and enjoys.

Anyway, I think Smackdown was on, as I say, before Mania, by like two days. And he just randomly shouts, "where the ****'s your Sara tattoo now, you prick! You're getting murdered on Sunday you ****!"

I lolled

 

[Teja.]

Was seeing the HBK vs. HHH street fight match again in Summer Slam '02. What a match. The best I've seen.

 

[sledger]

Watch HBK vs Taker at WM25, it really does not get any better than that imho.

 

[Jono]

My favourite ever is Angle vs. Benoit at Royal Rumble 2003.

Will admit I haven't seen Taker vs. Michaels (WM 25 or 26) which has been pumped up by everyone and sundry.

 

[Jono]

Wow I just saw that PWI rated Lesnar vs. Angle Iron Man Match on Smackdown as the best match of 2003. It had Angle vs. Benoit at 3rd.

Strongly disagree with that.

It had Michaels vs. Jericho from Wrestlemania ahead as well, which I also disagree with, but that's because I hate the finish of the match

 

[GIMH]

Do you hate it because shawn won, or are you joking?

Best match of 03 and all-time was triple h v scott steiner at the royal rumble, in the words of everyone's favourite child killer PROVE ME WRONG
