Name a better debut then Kane's.

You can't!

 

[Dental Plan]

Everyone's on board with Tuna Meltz stars until the WWE event ones get revealed and are never as damning as some hoped
Is this what they call "getting worked"?

God forbid Da Meltz enjoys other wrestling besides pwg and njpw.

 

[Draxal]

I mean meltzer admits he grades on a curve and its not an exact science either way.

The Nexus

 

[klonere]

The 4 way was spotz and movez

NJPW main events are spotz and movez, but far more unsafe 🙃

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

2nd best doesn't count here, friend!

The Nexus

Completely ruined by the fact it didn't even take more then a few months for them to be ruined.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Off topic but I finished the first Matt Smith season of Doctor Who last night. I like him as the Doctor and he's different enough from Tennant.

Have you watched the Tom Baker stuff? 5 seasons of Doctor WHo Bliss especially seasons 12 and 13

 

[Sephzilla]

Does KO turning on Sami Zayn count as part of his debut?

 

[RecRoulette]

This one was good but not on the same level.

I do appreciate the buildup though, it feels like that "Countdown to the Millennium" was going on for months.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Think about it, If the jericho debut happened now smarks would be outraged at the Rock verbally burying him as soon as he turned up.

That's the thing. He's fairly relaxed on the rating system himself. It's just his general feeling on a particular match within that promotion.

My fav Doctor <3

 

[Sephzilla]

Not trying to shit on Kane's debut. That's easily a top 3 all time great debut.

 

[Mahonay]

My fav Doctor <3

Matt Smith is pretty dreamy.

 

[RecRoulette]

Dave Meltzer gave Kane's debut five stars.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Eccleston was great.

I really wish he did more then one season.

 

[Sephzilla]

I liked Eccleston's Doctor but in hindsight I was already kind of tired of him by the end of his season. I feel like Tennant should have stuck around one more season though.

BOTH. SIDES. BOYZ.

Kane coming back from injury to get DX was another 5 star Kane moment.

 

[Sephzilla]

Kane stopped being Kane to me after he got unmasked.

 

[Mahonay]

Kane coming back from injury to get DX was another 5 star Kane moment.

Probably one of the biggest pops ever out of me. I went banana.

 

[RecRoulette]

Kane coming back from injury to get DX was another 5 star Kane moment.

This was so fucking good.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

That Matt Smith speech during his first encounter with the Weeping Angels still gives me goosebumps.

When is the Election? November?

Jesus christ any thread involving ffxv is insufferable. Complaining about free dlc is a new low.

Eh, they should finish the game first before doing done dlc.

oh shit you're on to me

Has that game sold well?

 

[ShadyK54]

Not familiar with the buildup prior to this (except that the countdown had been happening for awhile), but the pop he gets is crazy.

I've been watching bits & pieces of Nakamura/Zayn from Dallas. God damn, that match is still amazing. It is a bit weird not hearing the crowd go along with Shinsukes theme though lol. I keep rewatching the entrance expecting to hear them.

Yeah that was pretty fucking cool.

Kane was always better when he was a silent Jason Vorhees monster

 

[Nocturnowl]

Kane coming back from injury to get DX was another 5 star Kane moment.

Said injury was a broken heart to boot.

Kane stopped being Kane to me after he got unmasked.

I'd argue that early unmasked Kane was more Kane than goofball half mask face Kane prior to unmasking...who should've gone over Trips when he was RED HOT even with the worst angle of all time dragging him down.

[BewareTheBatsie]

Kane's debut look is legit probably my most favorite wrestler look ever.

Honorable mention to Savage, Scott Hall, Lesnar in his prime in the early 2000's and Rude also.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Think about it, If the jericho debut happened now smarks would be outraged at the Rock verbally burying him as soon as he turned up.

The Jericho debut would not have had the same impact now as it did then. Rumor sites existed then, but we didn't have 'real time' reporting the way we do now. Someone would have gone on Twitter/Reddit to say "Jericho is definitely here tonight'. I guess it would be comparable to AJ showing up at Rumble since the rumors were there but nothing confirmed/defined.

 

[giancarlo123x]

The game released earlier this year, all free refinements are welcome.

Has that game sold well?

I think I remember it has made a profit so probably.

 

[Draxal]

Nah, Rock was over as fuck back then.

Nobody on the current roster is close to the rockstar he was then.

 

[Tall4Life]

Kevin Owens is my favorite look for a wrestler because he looks like all you other marks that post in this thread

 

[Heroman]

.

None of a refinements really fix the game.

 

[Bronx-Man]

The match itself wasn't great, but Kane's reveal that he waited six years after losing at WM20 to take out Undertaker when he was at his weakest was incredible. Fucking love it when there's actual continuity in this company.

I fucking hate that game, which in of itself was alright if not a bit of a let down, but the amount of times I've had to watch a trailer for or play a demo of the shitty mobile game that's a knockoff of clash of clans when trying to get double coins on weed farm, that shit has farm has become unbearable.

Asuka saying "it's mine" will always make my girlfriend and I laugh.

Jericho jumping to WWE was still pretty reported even back then. Shit, the crowd for his debut has a bunch of Jericho signs all over the place

After Kane set the Rumble record, it was all downhill

Spoiler

YOU'RE UH MUDERER UH

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Kane saving Taker from DX and both then posing at each other out of respect was a goddamn moment.

Today is Vince McMahon's birthday. Some say it'll be his last.

Today we learn that Zach's real name is "Some".
