He's pretty much the only cat to ever look good in the cutoff ref shirt.
He also only asked if someone wanted to quit when they were in a real tight jam. He also enunciated well and didn't try calling any pinfalls/rope breaks whatever. That and the ending signifying the beginning of his career by suplexing Bret.
WM 13 which I'm watching right now so far only has two matches with any build, this one, one of the greatest matches of all time, and the Goldust/HHH one. I can see why people don't really like or remember the show, but there is such a thing as one match being good enough to carry an entire event, as this match proves.
Greatest match of all time.He looked phenomenal.
Bret was so good in that match that you almost didn't notice him.
He let Austin have the spotlight and it's amazing.

Community Rumbles are so fun. Can't wait for Breezus to defend his legacy.
He looked phenomenal.
Funnily enough I don't think Shamrock was this jacked up at any time during his WWE run. Dem roids doe.
You know who is another person to get over in a big, brutal, submission based match while losing the match itself?

He's one of my favorites. He also has a top 5 wrestler laughs. Up there with Dibiase. He sounds like a voiceover dub.
It seems that the Dusty Tournament is going to be made of 16 teams and they are doing matches during NXT house shows and WWE tapings. So far they done 6 of the 8 matches. Here what has been taped so far:
Only Blake and Murphy and the Hype Bros haven't had a match yet.
It looks like though the final 8 teams will most likely be:

It looks like though the final 8 teams will most likely be:
Joe and Balor, Hype Bros, Enzo and Cass, Johnny Gargano and Ciampa, Rhyno and Corbin, Blake and Murphy, the Mechanics and Jordan and Gable
You can't steal the show when you're booked to go over in the main event!

I don't think No Mercy had an actual Royal Rumble mode.
That should be a big improvement since there's actually a story and reason for things happening. Matches should be well under 10 min. Since Paige/Charlotte/Becky all use submissions whoever draws the later matches can just go to their submission which should eliminate any time screw-ups.
Several possible storylines. Sasha could be an opponent and either have a competitive draw/win via cheating in under the limit, or nearly win when the time limit hits to break up a submission. In one of the later matches the person with the best time could refuse to help their team member counter interference.
I'd rather they do a tournament or something, but this should work well.
Well they
did lose to the super team of Joe and Balor with his real shooter jacket at the Smackdown taping.
Random people in a random stip match to determine a #1 contender are none of these things.
The only thing different is that, for once, it isn't a Divas Battle Royale that determines the random #1 contender. They haven't actually developed a legitimate story on why this random person will be the #1 contender over all the others, it's just "oh these 3 girls won a multi-team-match and now one of them gets to fight for the title."
It's whatever, they could have created a storyline, but that would be too much trouble. #divasrevolution
Yes it does.

The random matches finally are given a purpose and people are preemptively shitting on it. This angle and these women can literally do nothing right.
Tell me the difference between this and the pre-#divasrevolution "person A wins random non-title match against title holder to become #1 contender" or the "random diva wins #1 contender's Divas Battle Royal." What's this big purpose I'm missing compared to 3 months ago.
I have no problem with supporting women's wrestling, but just because you're calling it a revolution, it's still the same old shit to me.

Breeze/Dempsey could provide some incredible promos/vignettes. I can already picture the look of disgust on Breeze's face any time he has to interact with Bull.

Finally given purpose 7 days after the match on a site nobody goes to off-camera when they could have done it on-camera in place of the shit Miz TV segment/match they had less than a full day after the match if it truly mattered as much as their #movement wants you to believe

People still shitting on womens' matches and holding them to a higher standard than normal matches. "Business as usual" is still way up from where it was.

Where they announced it shouldn't matter. The thing people wanted (a point to all these random matches) is happening and people are still finding reasons to shit on it. At this point it is pretty clear no one is going to accept anything that happens on this angle, so just make a women's only show on the Network so people can have an hour long piss break. #dunndeal
I ask you again, what is the point? What is the angle?

I remember them saying one time that the rumble mode in Wrestlemania 2000 works better then No Mercy's.

The angle right now is that they're wrestling to become the number one contender. Which is more than what they were doing, which was wrestling to wrestle. They're being treated like every other division in the company, which is a massive step up. That's what is so sad about this angle and people shitting all over it. Women being given time to wrestle and be respected as wrestlers like the men IS a revolution.
Nonsense.

How many of them were more than a few minutes long and actually promoted ahead of time? The women's division is now being treated like the IC/US titles have been for years. That's a pretty huge step up. Revolutionary, even.
ah yes being told that they fight like girls in the midst of a 30 minute pointless no heat angle is truly, absolutely, revolutionary
So all that's different now from before is that we now get mediocre 15-minute matches that is exposing the lack of direction and quality of the division?
At best you can call it a minor evolution.

It's definitely a revolution in terms of how WWE has treated women for the past 20 years. Being treated as legit wrestlers like all the men, complete with lack of direction is a revolution.
Now they get some direction and it doesn't count, I guess.

Remember 6 days ago when the champ flatout said wins and losses in tag matches don't matter, and then whined on Twitter with 2 other competitors when the crowd proceeded to actively not give a shit about the tag match that happened seconds after she said that
This is part of what people are defending btw

It's huge. You may not think so because you want them to not only level the playing field but do something incredible with it, but to me, something incredible is finally be given a chance.
Inspiring. Don't even mean it in the "I would eat through that ass!!!" kind of way either. I can barely keep my form with no weight on the bar.
She didn't get some sort of contract offer from WWE?
very true!
