I like the setup for the Dust Brothers feud. I like that Cody has gone full gimmick. You never go full gimmick.

However, I am not at all excited for their match at Fastlane.

Sid could powerbomb Jesus, and he still seems to be over with the fans. Every time I hear Nash or Hall or Vader or anyone talk about Sid he always talks about how he thinks he'd be better as a heel. His whole career was him flubbing lines and beating up people as a heel, and he got cheered. So I have no idea why he constantly thought he was better as a heel. EVERYBODY seemed to want to cheer the goof. WCW, WWF, USWA, didn't matter. He got cheered for attacking Bret and Shawn with the camera, he got cheered for eliminating Hogan. Yet he thought his money was in being a heel.

He's the worst heel ever. He was the perfect foil to Michaels because no matter what Michaels did to sabotage him, Sid did worse to himself, and the fans still loved him.

You're over thinking it.

People loved the heel Sid character and cheered him as a result. A babyface Sid would have been awful.

Sid did well almost everywhere he went. He was over. He got reactions. Getting lost in the minutiae of are they ones he was supposed to get is kind of pointless.

That'd be like knocking Kurt Angle's first heel gimmick, or like knocking Rocky Mavia turning into the people's champ.

Fastlane OT is up. You're welcome, everyone.

Nice job, Titus. May want to use fewer or smaller pics next time. And include some Seth Rollins Twitter talk.

Is it Sid Justice appreciation day?

RAW ep. 166 is a very important episode. As it's the first episode of RAW to feature lesbian undertones between Divas! Finally we are starting to see Dunn's genius all over the product in 96.

That's incredibly arrogant. Go ahead, tell me more gimmicks that I'm not allowed to like, and why I don't really think they worked. Obviously you know better than I do.

Jokes aside, Sid was liked because of his look. He has THE wrestler look. He wasn't a cool heel like Razor. He wasn't a monster that people wanted to be like Vader. He was just 'the look.' It was evident even by the face that he was super over in his first babyface run in the WWF when he was Hogan's chum.

The whole reason he was gone from WWF the first time and pissed Vince off was that Vince offered him THE spot and Sid wanted to be a heel. Vince wanted to give him everything, and Sid lost a bunch of money because he thought he HAD to be a heel.

Sid was Vince's second serious attempt to replace Hogan. It goes Warrior, Sid, Barry Windham, Lex Luger, Diesel.

Of the list, I absolutely think Sid could have replaced Hogan. That's why I thought Sid was beyond stupid(shocking) for turning it down to play a heel. Sid could have been WAY bigger than he was. He would have been perfect under Vince. He was a total goof, but people liked that. And he had the size AND the build which none of those other guys had.

I seriously think Sid/HBK was Sid's best match. Dude was in the zone throughout the whole match and squashed the living shit out of a then douchey HBK.

plus the fistbumps man

New OSW Review is out! Royal Rumble 2001: http://oswreview.com/media/oswreview47/

Oooh! I may have to check that out.

 

[Marvel]

Sid was cool, man. I like a lot of his old matches and promo's.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

I had no problem with the Paige bit, except for the execution implying she only wears her gear and that she doesn't shower at the hotel. It was a nice change of pace from the usual backstage skit, which is just an ambush or a staredown.

It would work just as well for the guys, too. Good cartoon.

 

[Data West]

Is that comic seriously trying to imply that stealing the other wrestlers clothes is a diva thing?

Because that shit's been happening since the 80s. Owen did it numerous times.

Girl bye

Barrett's face in that comic is cracking me up, he's just so damn pleased with his nefarious plan of clothes theft.

This doesn't remotely apply here. I just thought it was weird that you were calling someone a terrible heel *because they got cheered*. Loads of really good heels have been cheered. When that was happening to Sid it was right around the start of the attitude era and Sid wasn't exactly the only heel starting to get cheered... you know?

Jokes aside, Sid was liked because of his look. He has THE wrestler look. He wasn't a cool heel like Razor. He wasn't a monster that people wanted to be like Vader. He was just 'the look.' It was evident even by the face that he was super over in his first babyface run in the WWF when he was Hogan's chum.

Well, that was a different time and a different place. A babyface in 96 was not being received like a babyface in 92. Things changed pretty fast there.

The whole reason he was gone from WWF the first time and pissed Vince off was that Vince offered him THE spot and Sid wanted to be a heel. Vince wanted to give him everything, and Sid lost a bunch of money because he thought he HAD to be a heel.

One thing no one will ever argue is that Sid was smart.

Ah yes, the Kane rumble, a true joy to watch.

I just went to their website and finally saw the "closet" that people kept mentioning the announcers were in. It's pretty sad that TNA isn't willing to build a set for their announce team. reusing pieces of old sets like spin cycle or where they used to interview people would be way better. It looks significantly lower budget than a number of youtube channels.

Edit: Just watched one of their unlocked videos and they don't have a set for that show either.

 

[Man God]

Why did Chyna have a bazooka anyways

Freudian psychology.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Why did Chyna have a bazooka anyways

Because she was a bionic woman

an amazon

IS THAT EVEN A WOMAN MCMAHON?!?

 

[Data West]

In like a 4 year span, Chyna looks like a completely different person.

Frankly, I thought she looked better before the Playboy push. Like 1999.

and Shane is eternally money. I love when she was Shane's coach for his upcoming match.

 

[Man God]

Chyna is pretty fantastic looking after her first breast augmentation and jaw surgery. After that she goes too far.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Chyna didn't last long before getting some new puppies

if we ever hear "here comes the money!" at a WWE event ever again it will be the hardest i've ever marked out

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

loved chyna's amazon cher look at X7.

Think that was around the time she split the leather pants she was wearing on some award show? She was just a really cool celeb personality in that era. Really a fuckin' shame.

 

[Cagey]

OG Chyna had one of the best and the only truly unique look in 90s wrasslin. This is the truth.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I will maintain that Chyna in her prime was an absolute WOULD and I wouldn't be surprised if her continued plastic surgery was a result of some body shaming back in the day

Would be my new favorite Royal Rumble moment if he were to make a surprise entrant.

 

[plagiarize]

I certainly don't need to see Shane wrestle ever again, but I'd love him back for storylines.

edit: not that he wasn't awesome! but because he's getting on, and he was never a full time worker.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Weird how the Owen/Bulldog feud was pushed as being around the European title when they were clearly at odds beforehand

I'd be 100% okay with Shane being a surprise Rumble entrant.

 

[Perspicacity]

Sometimes I wish I was a dying child so that I could meet Cena and Reigns and tell them to SUCK IT #yesmovement

 

[real_slime]

when i was little i thought it was cool that chyna was wrestling with guys sometimes and she won the IC title at some point right?

i mean i know, women and men competing in a fight is pretty fucked up in real life, but in wrestling i thought it was a cool thing to have her be doing that. a lot of people seem really disgusted with her like these OSW guys.

 

[Sephzilla]

I also maintain that Shane has one of the GOAT entrance songs

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I really like Daniel Bryan matches and I want to like his promos but he just embodies too much of what I can't stand and never want to be like. I think that's my big problem. I talked before about me liking big galoot lunkhead dudes because that's what I wanna BE. Bryan is someone I -never- wanna be, so that's part of what puts me off from him. Love watching him work, though, no matter what promotion.
