Says the guy who claims WrestleMania 2000 is the greatest PPV of all time.

I hated the movement in Red Dead. Something about riding the horses never felt right to me. Got about five hours in and gave up.

I played about 90 minutes of Last of Us, if I had to guess. Strong opening, but it just didn't hook me after that. I remember being at some shipping warehouse and there were dudes going inbetween metal containers and I was just bored, so I stopped.

Deadly Premonition, I got and was like "fuck, this dude is talking about Tom and Jerry and shit, I'm going to like this. I'll come back to it when I have some time" and then never did.

Play all of those games to completion, you big baby.

I thought the Savage vs DDP feud in 1997 WCW was stellar stuff and made PPV main events a thousand times better than any shit with Hogan in them. I'm so grateful Hogan fucked off for those few months in 1997.

DDP vs. Savage at Great American Bash '97 was awesome

Angle wins the KoTR, ewww. But that belly to belly, that was kinda sweet. Kinda cool they are feuding anyway but fuck that Venis should've won.

I'm considering subscribing to the Observer to read about the backstage stuff on WCW as I go through. The carny hooks are so deep into me now.

Also I'm enjoying these top 10 lists, though I don't know where to start with mine. Last gen seems so long ago and it was mostly spent playing multiplayer games due to friends.

You thought we had had our blow off, but this time we do it in the steel cage, daddeh!

I don't wanna and you can't make me. Plus, the PS3 is in the closet in its box, so I doubt that Last of Us is ever getting touched again ever.

Get in on PS4. It's even better that way.

Get your snuggly boots on son, cuz we abouts to cuddle.

Fuck yeah for a fellow shooty fan. Fingers crossed we eventually get the android Deathsmiles stuff on PC as an expansion to the port. Thing had a ton of customization, a new character, and a new story path.

Deathsmiles 2x though is still the best one. Scoring system got revamped and the bosses are just awesome.

Thank you, blue, but it's too late... Da Meltz has got my money.

This one's for you WrassleGAF

The next Nitro saw Pillman, in a tag match with Arn Anderson against Kevin Sullivan & Hugh Morris, have a stinker of a match due to what at least appeared to be a total lack of communication and had a few seconds of what appeared to be shooting.
Click to expand...

Edit:

However, the television show a few days later seemed to spell an angle. The incident aired on television and was played up like a wrestling angle, albeit a new form of angle aimed only at fans who were at least half smart to aspects of the business. Sullivan's interview, where he broke a pencil, apparently to signify he wasn't acting as booker/wrestler in the match, appeared to give away this was a Japanese style angle. Unfortunately, it isn't aimed at a Japanese style audience which understands the significance of breaking a pencil or shooting or supposed shooting in the ring. In addition, when clips were shown of the match, everything was shown intact rather than edited had something that wasn't supposed to have happened taken place.

Add fucking Saturday Night already. Jesus. I'm missing out on angles here.

Excuse the frequency, but I got to

Sometime around the time of Pillman's argument with Bischoff in the dressing room after the Sullivan match, Disco Inferno was the only wrestler to openly question things suddenly saying something to the effect of, "They're working the boys."

Disco knows.

Three people were in on the Pillman angle, and only two of them knew the real reason.

Luckily one of them was the preeminent wrestling journalist of this era.

Yeah, this archive stuff is worth it. Especially since it fills in on the Saturday Night stuff.

Marc Mero quit, which I should have assumed when Diamond Doll started hitting on fucking Beefcake. But the interesting part is how he was buried by Bischoff. The contract stuff is kind of interesting, as is Mero's family man/religious beliefs conflicting with angles/business.

And the Nasty Boyz were apparently fired, which is why the Steiner Bros came in to take their place on against LOD on Nitro, but then ended up staying the next day. Fuck. So close to them being gone.

Hogan thinks newcomers are being paid to much and wants the money to go towards bringing in Yokozuna and Ultimate Warrior.

I feel fortunate to have a father who has subscribed to the paper version of the observer since the 80's and still does to this day.

He wanted to squash Pillman in the Doomsday Cage match.
Click to expand...

I read he wanted Pillman in the angle because he was white hot, but I didn't know it was to squash him lol

Madusa vs. Col. Rob Parker

They lock up at the start and Dusty loses his shit. He can't believe it.

So Madusa came on Nitro and threw the WWF Women's title in the trash... then lost to Sherri and loses to Rob Parker... Again, no Saturday Night, so I don't know if she actually got some shine.

I know the idea is you wouldn't want a WWF person to come in and dominate because it implies WWF is better, but I disagree with that sentiment (maybe not in all instances). Here, though, why not just have Madusa wreck shit after she said WWF was shit anyway? Bring back Bull Nakano and get dope feud going or something.

They should've formed a group called, Cocaine Cowgirls and they alternatively accompany Savage to the ring.

As a fairly jaded person (I think) who was never quite the fan of 1 - 3, U4 easily ranks in my top 5 of all time. It is majestic. Drunkmann killed it. In summary, in 1 - 3, each game did something really well and others pretty poorly, there was never a game that got it all right. uncharted 4 got it all right. I bought Last of Us remastered as a result as well. Stoked to give that a go.
Click to expand...

Whoa. High praise. Maybe I'll buy it sooner than recently planned... >_>

P.S. Let us know what you think of The Last of Us. It's an all-time great game, in my opinion.
