Rolling Thunder on the ladder!
|
Too bad they didn't bring ECW back the way they should have. Jeff would have fit in great
|
It's hard to believe they're just now getting to the propped up ladder. They got a lot out of the folded ladder
|
So I've heard RVD talk about the hardcore title and these matches. He says that it was his favorite stuff of his in WWE, and he wanted to stay in the hardcore title division and elevate that title as a legitimate midcard title. With guys like him, Jeff Hardy, Raven and others contending.
He felt it could be a legitimate division on par with the IC title, but consisting only of no dq or extreme gimmick matches. It'd basically serve as the continuation of ECW, only as a division within WWF rather than a whole promotion. I really wish he got his way. |
Could have broken Jeff's legs with that fall.
|
Oh man, that swinging rope spot was a damn good try. That would have been epic.
|
The Wild E Coyote cam
|
On the one hand it would have been good, but on the other hand it would have been good for only so long.
|
Well they could have gotten at least a year or two out of it, which would have been better than nothing considering all of the talent they had that could have been used or even elevated by it.
|
I have a pick. Anyone up for it, or was someone else looking to go?
|
I think one of the best Hardcore Title runs was Taker's and he didn't even do that much "hardcore" stuff.
|
I have a pick but it's kind of long.
|
How long?
|
4 parts, but only the last minute or so of the first part is the match.
|
It does feature the Man in Pink.
|
Actually that is too long. I no longer want to watch it.
|
Want to pick something else, or shall I go?
|
ECW Heatwave 98, Hayabusa/Shinzaki v. RVD/Sabu. Plus we just saw RVD so no deal.
|
You go ahead. I will reconsider.
|
Figure it out you douchebags
|
Same event as Juan's pick. This is a medium length match, but a great one. It's an opener, and pretty much a perfect one at that.

Nice
|
Starting now
|
If I can be serious for a minute...
|
lol. "Splendid."
|
I always hated when they would show all the WWE guys in one locker room.
|
Yea, it was retarded. They should have been a reluctant team, not the fuckin mighty ducks.
One of the many bad things. This event is one of the highpoints of the invasion though. Just from start to finish, the standalone event (ignoring the storylines and angles), is great. Some awesome matches. |
Compare Edge today to his first day on the job. They didn't know what the fuck they were doing. The random yelling. The running. The smiling. He's lucky it was a boom period or he was future endeavors-guaranteed. Plus he almost killed a guy.
|
He had "it" though. I liked Edge from day one. I remember thinking he was great as far back as when he was Sable's mystery partner against Marc Mero and Jackie. From the get go the crowd seemed to care about him, and I remember wanting him to go far right out of the gates.
They definitely didn't know what the fuck they were doing for a long time though. The boom period helped too, but I think he had a natural connection with the fans. Thankfull The Brood kept him and Christian employed until the ladder match got them way over, and from then on in it was down to business. Remember the shirts? "Everybody's Got A Little Edge In Them" |
Storm is so good
|
Fun match :y:
|
Yeah, he lucked out hooking up with the Brood. Him and Christian both. Christian even survived a puffy shirt. I guess it was outweighed by coming through fire and giving blood baths.
|
Pretty much exactly what you want out of an opener. Short, sweet, exciting and gets the crowd warmed up. Edge picking up the IC title is a plus too.
P.S. Remember when Edge won the IC title for 24 hours in 1999, at a house show? That was random. |
Theddy, pick something. I think I can do another round or so before bedtime for bonzo
|
Will do.
|
Have never seen this. But I like Hakushi.

I wish Kensuke Shinzaki would've been around (in the WWE) longer
|
I wonder why they didn't change Kid's name/theme after he sold out.
|
That would be Dibiase's decision, since he owned him and his soul. He must have liked the music.
|
I was THERE for the team of Shinzaki/Hayabusa v. Sabu/RVD featuring the Man in Pink in ECW. So was WWKD.
|
You are one lucky son of a bitch, thed.
|
Hakushi should have been the manager of the tag team of Haku and Rikishi. His name is basically to them as Brangelina is to Pitt and Jolie
|
lol
|
I remember Hart/Hakushi from IYH 1 being pretty good.
|
Which Hart?
|
Nice match
|
Bret Hart.
|
Another pick Juan?
|
Did Hakushi/Shinzaki ever face Malenko or Benoit in Japan?
|
I'm down if you guys are.
|
Sure.
|
I am
|
Extra points if it features the Man in Pink.
|
Or Faith No More Guy. But he's harder to spot.
|
No pink guy :-\

Starting up now. A ring full of great wrestlers
|
Tazz sounds different
|
Picked a short one cuz I'm a little tired. Almost ready for bed.
|
Benoit is huge in this compared to the WCW match we watched.
|
Yea me too. No worries, we'll revisit this
|
Wow, 12 pages. We'll probably have a hundred by the weekend lol.
Goodnight fellas :y: |
Nice little match
|
Regal's face at the end. Good stuff.
|
One more each Thed?
|
Peacin out for now. Feel free to keep this thing going anyone
|
Next match.

I'm in
|
Starting it now
|
I think its amazing that the only two in this match left in the company are Tommy Dreamer and Matt Striker.
|
I think Monty Brown could have been huge in the WWE had they not saddled him with the ridiculous name
|
One of the best matches of the early ECW (on Sci Fi)
|
Ariel :love:
|
Elijah Express!
|
This was the match that SHOULD have happened at Wrestlemania 23. Everyone looked good and some stuff in. Crowd appeared hot for it. And the Elijah Express finish was one of my favorites.

Me first, then you, deal?
|
You in?
|
Yeah, the TV is rubbich for the next half hour. Might as well pass some time here.

Ok, starting it now

That's crap! H wasn't even the legal man :roll:

Your turn XL

[bold]Thoughts on Rock/Y2J v HHH/Benoit[/bold]
- I loved those Judgment Day/Taker return promos. - Jesus, Lillian sounded awful back then. - You can't got wrong pairing Jericho v Benoit/Rock v HHH, both of them 2 of the hottest ongoing fueds of all time. - Overall a good little pre-PPV tag match. |

Just started. This should be good, I haven't seen this match since the actual PPV
|
This remains one of my favourite matches of all time.
They seemed to take a WWE Hardcore Title match beyond what we'd come to expect from a HT match (run-ins, same-old weapon spots). They could have made something out of Raven and Rhyno off the back of this IMO. |
I really wish Rhino would've stayed in the E :-\
|
Great hardcore match :y:
|
I've already got my next suggestion picked out. Unless you want your go!?
|
No go ahead XL
|
We're going back one year from the last one. Another "forgotten" classic.

K, starting now
|
I miss Dean Malenko :(
|
It's a quality little match. Sick finish too.
|
Man, I wish I wasn't only on the comp for a few minutes or I'd get in on this session. Looks like some awesome matches
