Update to Troy Donovans release: He spoke up and admitted he violated an unspecified policy but didn't go into specifics. However he said he was told by management to come back in about a year and he promised the fans he would for sure be back.

On a whim I felt like watching the clip of DDP rejecting the nwo, so I go on youtube and the clip I found is from WWE.

They fucking edited the crowd response. When it happened, the fucking roof came off. In WWE'S clip, the crowd is about as lively as youd find in a Jinder Mahal match.

What possible fucking benefit could you get from ruining these clips like this?

Was DDP's music playing at all in the original. I know that's one of the theme they always dub over

But then they decided they should reveal that he survived, so they made a web series called "Lunchtime Suicides" where every week he would try to commit suicide only to survive?

Remember when they did the whole scab referee thing in 1999? I have no clue what the point was, but all the referees decided to go on strike. All except Jimmy Korderas, for whatever reason. You had Steve Lombardi reffing a match or two in there. Not sure if there even was a purpose.

For some reason, I think I’ve actually see this before. It was on some documentary about Ed Ferrera or wrestling in general, maybe. I just remember being confused as to why a fan would mock JR so readily, and why it was then okay to physically destroy that fan and why they were doing this with JR.

Tiger Ali Singh has got more life in his promos than a lot of the guys who win a World Title these days. That’s just sad.

So I had no idea Ed Ferrara did the JR impersonation in the WWF. But that's not the craziest thing about this video. Check out the bump Ed takes from Dr.Death lmao. Apparently it broke Ed's sternum. It starts at the 3 minute mark

BXeiQ6oeg2g

Yeah this what basically inspired Russo to have him play the "Oklahoma" character. I've watched this video a bunch of types and that is a hell of a bump Ferrara takes for someone who isn't actually a wrestler.

[Jordan]

Fuck Ed Ferrara, I don't care if he did break his sternum. I think he's a scum bag. Same for Russo too, it's a surprise Vince hasn't had his teeth removed from some disgruntled superstar from the past.

If I was one of the boys especially in this era and one of those skinny fat mark exec's wanted to inject themselves into the show, I'd have given them plenty of reason to make it a one shot deal.

Bischoff too, too bad that Cat or Zbyszko didn't teach them a lesson for stepping into the ring.

I think Ferrera actually did local stuff. The spot does looks surprisingly good, and I’m sure Williams adds to that a lot, but I think Ferrera had technically bumped before (but I doubt he was any good or anything).

[Mr. Nerfect]

And yeah, I’m not a big fan of Russo or Ferrera and what they left behind, lol.

I think The Cat and Bischoff are actually kind of friends irl. As for your post about injecting themselves in the show and stepping in the ring, Vince McMahon did the same thing but the difference is he was far more entertaining and created possibly the most popular storyline feud of all time with Austin.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The Undertaker vs. Ken Shamrock from Backlash ‘99 is an underrated match. It’s got no crowd heat and it’s against the backdrop of the terrible Ministry of Darkness story, but the match itself is actually pretty great.

Shamrock is working like a man possessed against the guy who has messed with his sister. JR is very clear on the call that Shamrock is going to have the advantage on the mat, but Taker is going to be stronger with a vertical base (Man, Taker would not go for that just a few years later when he wanted to be the MMA machine). It’s kind of refreshing to see a babyface take such a clear advantage in a match, and keep going back to that weakness he created.

One of the hidden gems on the Attitude era in terms of bell-to-bell stuff.

[Mr. Nerfect]

One of the things I became most nostalgic for at a certain point was Taker having an entrance where he didn’t take 5 minutes to get to the ring.

[Jordan]

I do remember that match, very good match that was more MMA based than most WWE matches at the time.

[Jordan]

Shamrock was awesome.

Tbf, the Ministry wasn't bad until it became the Corporate Ministry and it got nonsensical

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think I slept on it because I’m not much of a Taker fan. It really never clicked with me how weird it was that Taker was doing MMA stuff in 1999. And he’s not exactly the driving force of it. He’s responding to what Shamrock is putting out.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I dunno, man — you’re entitled to your opinion, but if you haven’t gone back in a while I wouldn’t recommend it. Maybe leave the memories alone. There’s nothing quite as awkward as hearing a babyface Vince trying to force human sympathy while at the same time talking about Stephanie’s personal possessions in the context of violation. This was prime awful Russo too. The gimmick is that “Mark” believes in the bullshit Undertaker gimmick.

[Bad News Gertner]

Taker during that era was a rough watch. Especially in 1999.

Yeah lol I watched it back a few years ago the angle was horrible but I mean the concept of the Ministry stable itself wasnt a really bad idea if it didn't go in that direction and it got even worse once the Corporate Ministry was formed and Vince was revealed as the higher power because it made the whole angle make no sense at all.

[Crippla]

1999 WWF was a little bit cringe worthy tbh and the continuity and consistency was awful

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, Vince McMahon being revealed as the Greater Power is obviously the best example of that. It made zero sense.

[Bad News Gertner]

1999 WWF is horrendous

[Mr. Nerfect]

When I was first getting into wrestling and was hungry for anything, I remember 1999 being really…jarring to me. For the most part, anyway. I think I knew it wasn’t good the first time watching it. But I was still like “Yeah! Wrestling! I guess…”

I’d say it doesn’t hold up well, but I’m not sure it did even past its initial VHS releases.

I just got informed that Hulk Hogan is going to be at some convention here in town in August. My friend thinks I should attend but I have a sneaking suspicion that's just a few steps away from me ending up on the news.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Just some weird time-related things:

* Edge is basically as old as John Laurinaitis was at Money in the Bank 2011.

* Money in the Bank 2011 is basically right in the middle of WWE post-Austin heel turn and right now.

1999 is definitely the worst year in the Attitude Era (product wise). I'd say the awfulness runs from Survivor Series 98 to Survivor Series 99

[Mr. Nerfect]

It sounds really weird, but I associate 1999 WWF with this different aesthetic to 1998 WWF. I think of 1999 as being more drained of color and I think of lots of guys in white t-shirts hitting each other with trash can lids. It’s a way more “pale” time in my head. 1998 makes me think of deep reds and generally being more saturated with color.

I don’t know, it’s an odd thing, but I’ve felt it since I was a kid. I don’t even know if it’s accurate or it’s just how my brain processed “More Russo.”

I think there are strokes of genius in 1999. Well, I’m mainly thinking of Mankind winning the WWF Title. But generally the period does suck. It’s really them cashing in off 1997, 1998 and them having the giant stars they do.

I’m fascinated by the reason 2000 managed to be such a financially viable year for them after quite a crappy ‘99.

[BigCrippyZ]

2000 had the true elevation of Rock and HHH as the 2 true elite main event guys second only to an absent Austin, the McMahon-Helmsley family drama, a returning "new" Taker, and the intro and upper card "elevation" of Kurt, Jericho, Benoit, and Eddie, plus throw in the Dudleys, Edge and Christian and the Hardys as the elite tag title competitors. That's just a ridiculously stacked roster even without Austin. Probably why 2000 was such a good year.

[screech]

I watched most of the 1999 WWF pay per views on the network a few years ago and they were messy as fuck

98 was still a transition year. Their young guys like Edge, Christian etc hadn't hit their stride yet. It wasn't until 2000 where they all started to shine. The in ring product improved drastically in 2000 with those guys taking huge steps, as well as the Radicals. HHH hits his peak, the tag division is as tight as ever. Jericho finds his groove Just so much. Plus Russo leaves and Kreski and crew take over.

2000 also doesn't feel as sleazy as 1999.

If Vince had any product knowledge of WCW, he'd have put Jindrak and O'Haire into a feud with the Hardyz. The alternative kids run into the jocks who do their moves better. Fuckin writes itself.

I always wanted O'Haire to feud with Jeff once he started doing the Seanton Bomb. Combine that with Jindrak being more athletic than Matt and you've really got something.

[Bad News Gertner]

I liked Palumbo and O'Haire more than Jindrak and O'Haire.

Love me some Chuckie P

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Palumbo is a way better worker than Jindrak, but I felt O'Haire and Jindrak made more sense as two young, over-confident hotshots. Palumbo always looked 50 to me.

[Crippla]

1999 is definitely the worst year in the Attitude Era (product wise). I'd say the awfulness runs from Survivor Series 98 to Survivor Series 99

That's when it started going downhill but everything post WrestleMania 15 in 1999 was absolutely horrendous imo. At least the first few months were still somewhat watchable but then it got really cringeworthy storyline wise

[Crippla]

I think Palumbo and O'Haire had a better look as a team though. They were my two favorite Natural Born Thrillers with Mike Sanders as the mouthpiece of course. I never really cared much for Jindrak and Stasiak was awful lol

[Crippla]

Yeah I don't know why he always looked so much older. His face always looked aged by like ten years at least. I'm thinking back on this now that you mentioned it, he even looked like he had wrinkles when he was like 30

I remember thinking 2001 post-Mania X7 was really vibrant in comparison to the previous years, just lots of colour popping.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I remember thinking 2001 post-Mania X7 was really vibrant in comparison to the previous years, just lots of colour popping.

I can see what you mean there. Everything got a little “crisper” visually. They had moved away from some grit too. A lot of guys added more color to their gear too. Triple H used gold trimming at Mania. Kurt Angle’s singlets got shinier. Tajiri debuted and had his pants, lol. But yeah, lots of color.

Austin having coloured knee braces is the one thing I could call out off the top of my head.

29 slams and I'm selling just out of general principle in that my back would likely be in legit pain.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Somewhere along the line, a bunch of fake bad-asses got the idea that being tough meant you didn’t feel pain. It’s one of the more ridiculous tropes in wrestling that highlights how it’s somehow all become more insecure.

The trading of forearms spot is another one. It’s like “tell me you’re not a bad-ass without actually telling me you’re not a bad-ass.”

[Mr. Nerfect]

Smarter to do more with less too. But selling requires more talent than a lot of people want to bring to table.

[Crippla]

Selling is 50 percent of a wrestling match...if you're not good at selling then you're probably garbage in the ring

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don’t need to believe it’s real, but there has to be some sort of integrity behind the performances. Too many wrestlers these days want to move the meter on where that is and call it “evolution” or “art.”

[Fignuts]

The more things make sense, the easier it is to get the audience emotionally engaged. Thats true of any story telling medium. In that respect, I think wrestlers have a more difficult task today than they did in the past. Wrestlers in the territory days had to convince the audience what they were seeing is real. Wrestlers of today have to make them forget its not. And the style a lot of these guys practice, really doesn't accomplish that.

100% agree with this. And the style everyone else practices can help you stand out by doing something different, but it can also make your attempts to be taken seriously seem even more silly than the sillier stuff.

I wish more people would try with a prominent platform. I think we’re past the stage where we need to overtly smack people over the head with the idea that we know it’s fake. True ironic post-modern zombie wrestling would be to usher in a new kayfabe with audiences going along with it.

You know a team who has gotten over organically through in-ring storyteling over the past year?


FTR.


Those two dudes are fucking amazing to watch and if there's a match (on anyone's card) that has them, I ensure I don't miss it.


They are damn good at mixing a bit of old school "make you believe its real" and new school "make you forget its fake" like Fig said.

No reason he couldn't have, he was already capable of a moonsault, ssp is basically just flipping the other way.

Vader is the one big guy I wouldn't be worried about attempting something like that.

[Gerard]

Vader is the one big guy I wouldn't be worried about attempting something like that.

Vader was very iffy on a lot of standard moves let alone turnbuckle moves, i've seen him german suplexing people and them landing on the top of their head, sometimes he'd chokeslam people and they would end up landing hard on the back of their head etc. That guy he hurt badly took a bad chokeslam landing first then the hard powerbomb landing high on his shoulders.

[Destor]

yeah thats what made him great

[Destor]

that first clip vader had to fuck that kid up.

first the kid doesnt bump off the vader attack. vader hits the kid. he gives it away but honestly doesnt sell it half as much as it actually hurt. vader choke slams the kid on his head. why? the kid is no selling him. he's the world heavy weight champion and this bum aint workin with him. its ignorance on the kids part but that cant matter. so the kid gets up from this outragoues choke slam in seconds. fuck. ok i guess. vader has to keep going. not like he can not keep working. so he bombs the kid. as hard as he can.

when youre in this position internally youre praying the idiot hears what your actions are saying. he should know what each of us is getting paid to do. this idiot didnt. not on vader. and vader isnt taking liberties either.

[Destor]

and the 2nd video is is 80% puro. home of the "high and tight" aka the shoulder bump. its deliberate and desirable for both parties.

I think it looks great and I didn't even know what Puroresu wrestling was until I started posting here and I got put on to the awesomeness of Japanese wrestling. I also notice the non Japan wrestlers in that video are guys llke Mick Foley and Rick Steiner who also have wrestled in Japan so many times and are accustomed to that style. I don't think that video illustrates the same point as the first video at all.

[Crippla]

But he is far from the only one to do that lol I was actually just watching a video the other day of several wrestlers obliterating jobbers...I think it might have even been posted by Gertner or someone else on here

[Destor]

job guys used to get paid really well. better than a lot of the boys. they could only make money for a short ammount of time and you needed to pay a guy pretty well to get utterly obliterated. the jobbers knew the score.

you were going to be beaten and badly. and the talent knew they needed to fuck em up pretty good too. the other guys were going to annihilate them. the same marks are mentally going to compare how you handle random job guy no.2 to how the other named talent did. they think this is real after all. if you want to get over youve gotta kill the guy. that the deal. its not like it was a con on some poor unsuspecting halfwit, those were in the stands...well most of the time anyways.

not like we could've predicted in the future guys unfit to lace the job guy's boots would be the only ones still watching.

Yeah that's what I mean, you have to admit everything has gotten a lot "softer" nowadays with this generation in the business. I feel like you're right about that last part and there's definitely a lot of people who wouldn't be able to cut it or handle breaking into the business during that time.

[Crippla]

I also should have mentioned Rick Steiner's reputation for fucking up not only job guys but even wrestlers who could be on the upper card as well although I really didn't need to because everyone is well aware of it.

Steiners fans! Special TPWW Watch-along party tonight! Come join the gang, hang out and watch some heads be clotheslined off!

TONIGHT!

https://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/07-3.jpg

As we reach our one year anniversary of the watch-along, we celebrate The Steiner Brothers!

Tune in for the pre-show at 8:30 for some early singles action from both Rick and Scott!

Then, it's epic tag team wrestling and jobber deaths galore as we look back at the career of arguably the greatest tag team of all time including four brick walls colliding in the main event as The Steiners face "Bam Bam" Terry Gordy and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams!

But that's not all!

Stay tuned for a post-show treat! Rick Steiner meets his most terrifying adversary ever and two poor fucks get paid in free Faygo at a Juggalo event to get the living shit kicked out of them by Scott Steiner and Vader!

DON'T MISS IT!

[Crippla]

The Rock is such a class act too...he will probably do anything for these siblings that he didn't even know existed.

I think it says more that Raw is still several times more popular the world over than AEW, yet if you look at online engagement you’d believe AEW was taking over. There’s a magic disconnect between the internet audience and what the larger wrestling crowd enjoys.

OVW production is pretty good to be honest. I haven't watched a full show but I am interested. The regional name hurts them but also it is their legacy so it's a bit of a conundrum.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Weird @ the OVW/Netflix story. I mean, I can understand a “life in the day of a wrestling student” and how OVW’s legacy and where it is now creates an interesting context for the show. I’m doubtful an actual wrestling series gets picked up over something WWE though.
