*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

[GIMH]

Triple H books it so Jono will hate it because he's still bitter about 2003

 

[Jono]

Its a WWE thing so must be automatically awesome in GIMH's mind.

 

[Jono]

The old Smackdown episodes with Angle, Lesnar, Benoit, Guerrero looks tempting also

Those were so good.

They have old Smackdown 6 too yeah?

 

[andmark]

Those were so good.

They have old Smackdown 6 too yeah?

Yeah. The first match I watched on it was a great match between Angle and Undertaker. Massive collection of Smackdowns; virtually every Smackdown between when it started to 2006ish

Haha reckon you can do better than that. I hate a lot of WWE stuff

I was actually reading seriously old posts about why you hate HHH the other day and you gave a reasonably balanced and reasoned explanation. Seems like you were a decent poster once.

What happened dude.

Jono I can't stress enough though how much you'd love the network. WCW cruiser weight division mid 90s dude

 

[GIMH]

Yeah. The first match I watched on it was a great match between Angle and Undertaker. Massive collection of Smackdowns; virtually every Smackdown between when it started to 2006ish

I was a bit upset about the lack of 09 smackdowns. Was my first year watching wresting full time for a few and Raw was trash but Smackdown was absolutely stellar every week.

Rey V Morrison for the ic belt, what a match

I became a bad poster when I stopped watching wrestling perhaps?

 

[GIMH]

Yes maybe. Just get the network and we can start a thread about all the awesome old stuff

 

[Jono]

I'll get it post World Cup ya pommy flash ****.

 

[GIMH]

I'll get it post World Cup ya pommy flash ****.

Fair cop, I haven't paid a penny for it so far just ftr though

 

[Manee]

All the wrestling available to you and you start with that. Come on dude

Give me some recommendations.

 

[Manee]

Watching some 2003 Smackdown. Opened up with a promo about Rey Mysterio's journey to the Cruiserweight title against Matt Hardy - a bygone era of respect to the midcard and opening matches.

 

[GIMH]

Monday night wars documentary is good (not watched it all so far), all the DVD docus are on there I think.

If you're talking matches - ECW PPVs for you I reckon.

 

[andmark]

Watched Guerrero vs Benoit on an episode of Nitro. It was typical of WCW; some great wrestlers but no focus whatsoever on the match.

Watched Guerrero vs Benoit on an episode of Nitro. It was typical of WCW; some great wrestlers but no focus whatsoever on the match.

IIRC WCW usually went like this:

*Mysterio/Jericho/Guerrero/Benoit/Malenko putting on an amazing show*

Commentators: "NWO, blah blah blah Hogan blah blah NWO"

 

[andmark]

Yeah that pretty much much sums up what happened in the match. Shame because the pace of the match was unreal

 

[OverratedSanity]

WCW were so ****ing stupid to just let all their cruiserweight guys leave. I pretty much watched Nitro just for the Cruiserweight divison cause it was like nothing the WWF had. Jericho vs Malenko is probably one of my favorite feud ever. That moment where malenko unmasked in the battle royal. *Goosebumps*

Skip to 8:50 for that crazy pop. Is Slamboree 98 on the Network, incidentally? Ima watch it.

 

[andmark]

Great wrestling with commentary usually focusing on middle aged guys trying to be teens. I fear that's what the commentary is like now.

 

[Jono]

1004 holds Will never ever forget that.
