November Wrasslin |OT| Ask Not The Jobber How John Cena Wins
- Thread starter Plywood
- Start date
It also takes chemistry as well. Let's say Sheamus wrestled BNB in a iron man match. The match would be amazing because those two have good chemistry. Now a big show vs Mark Henry match that's over 20 minutes wouldn't work since they have shitty matches together.
wwf iron man matches were bad because there's no storytelling at all. The magic about 60 min matches during the 80s was the fact that the wrestlers didn't give a shit about time. They performed their asses off to demostrate the stress, the struggle, and emotions to why this match is longer than 10 minutes. You can tell Flair/Steamboat really hated each other because they painted the picture in the ring....meanwhile Hart/HBK felt more of a "hbk is going to be the champ anyway...might as well try to make the match look good". It became a resthold then special move match.
Cena/Orton iron man match was an example of why the wwe doesn't do that match stipulation anymore :/.
If you don't think Nash could have good matches before he went to WCW and got paid a fortune while not having to bother, you're out of your mind.

I want All,Japan trips back in the ring
Really hope the rock match doesn't happen. Him,and Cesaro need to,have a match

I like Nash but I always thought he was a mediocre in-ring guy. He excelled in other areas though.
Hogan Goldberg?

Technical wrestler trips is too scary to watch.
I'll have nightmares of being a indy wrestlers having to wrestle 5 stages of triple h with the strength of 20 NJPW wrestlers
.What this says is that Nash was good at one point. He was still pretty good at least into 1997, but he gave up pretty much completely by 1998 for sure.
That match is only "good" because of the crazy crowd. That definitely wasn't anywhere near great.
I'm not knocking Cena. He's been one half of two of my favorite matches in recent years, CM Punk vs John Cena, MITB 2011 and Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena, Extreme Rules 2012. My point is that he's not gonna make people look good and he certainly isn't there to make people look good. Yet if his competitors are good he can work at their pace.
If that's the case...majority of Hogan's matches wouldn't have been great *which is true*. Let's face facts, Hogan wrestling a real match with Goldberg would have been Brock Lesnar having a MMA match with Bobby Heenan. It's not going to have a good outcome. The crowd saved that match from being a Hogan jerk fest.
Man I don't know what Hogan was thinking on giving that shit away for free.
Of course most of Hogan's matches aren't great. Who would even argue that? He had a lot of good matches before 1991, and a handful of good ones over the next 20 years.
They just wanted to beat raw every week.
When I think about it, it actually made sense. They were in Atlanta and like Stro said, the crowd was the best thing about the match. You wouldn't have gotten that as much at Halloween Havoc.
Then you've got the fact that any PPV revenue that WCW made wasn't actually accredited to WCW's bottom line according to Bischoff, that was always given to another division within Turner.
It should have had a least a week of build, but other than that, I can't fault them.

Absolutely baffled by these. The best Online Experience Nomination makes me wonder what the hell else came out this year if that's the 'BEST'. FIFA as the best sports game... it was shite.
Classing Alien as an Action/Adventure?!
The fact there's even a 'Best Remastered' field wtf.

ROH/ NEW JAPAN running joint shows in NYC, Toronto Nd Chicago next year
Do we know when the tickets will be on sale?
Alien Isolation can suck my dick. Looks great. Even plays fine. Great atmosphere and really captures the feel of Alien more than any game before. But it is boring as shit, cheap as shit, and often will straight just fuck you over by having the xeno or a droid pop up OUTTA NOWHERE and kill you, so FUCK YOU if you didn't save, because it will send you back 45 minutes over something completely out of your control.
"Gotta great idea for an Alien game. You open doors!"
The could have re-booked the Georgia dome and filled every seat. WrestleMania XXVII had an reported attendence of over 71,000. (But Vince always promoted fake numbers. Biggest example is WrestleMania III)
I remember when I was younger that that was the one match I remember hearing people talking about WCW over WWF.

Oh. For some reason I had you pegged as a video game pirate. You fit the profile to a T.

As a kid, I never understood why my Dad liked Sherri. I get it now. Check out what she wore at SummerSlam 1992.
I don't play enough games to even bother with pirating, friend. If I can't get it from the library or Redbox, I just don't play it. Unless Gamefly gives me a promotion to come back to them.

It's something I'm very passionate about. This user summed up my feelings and actions towards game pirates perfectly:

That's not fair, no one stays in their seat for Superstars. That's an hour long piss break.

Yeah they all showed up for raw
lol, maybe ambrose was headlining that night
Yeah they all showed up for raw
Related - this is why I hate how everyone looks at the hard camera now instead of walking around the ring looking at the audience. Because half the time the wrestlers aren't even looking at a majority of the crowd
That's okay because most of the audience is waving at the hard camera and isn't paying attention to the wrestlers in the ring.
I miss the good ol' days when Scott Hall would ignore the hard camera for every spot.
Are you fucking SHITTING ME?
If they are ever gonna turn Cena why not do it now?
You know the numbers are going to be shitty. Might as well do something different.
Nobody is calling it despite him doing everything a heel would.

John Cena also did not show up, even when the Authority beat the shit out of his entire team. What a poor leader.
