Watched disk two of Eddie Guerreros DVD. His no DQ match against edge was so fucking good. Started watching disk three. Eddie vs Rey Mysterious wwe champion on smackdown. Another great match. I'm remember why he's my favorite wrestler of all time. This guys is amazing.

JBL talking about his rivalry with Eddie. Lol he said he needed a police escort to get out of Texas once. Apparently eddie passed out in the back after that match where he was bleeding like crazy.

Watching that Eddie/Lesnar NWO 2004 match makes me miss Paul Heyman's SmackDown. I don't think I even watched Raw at that point, SD was so good.

Mother fuckers! Don't disrespect the Posse! GUZIM!!!

Fuck this company.

Not surprisingly, the foursome fell to the diverse grouping of Mark Henry, Steve Blackman, Val Venis and Gangrel.

How are the Posse and the British Bulldog worse?! Also, this was the main event of the 1999 Survivor Series.

#13 Oklahoma changes the definition of "Cruiserweight"

Mention the name Oklahoma to any wrestling fan, and you’re likely to hear a long, disgusted groan. WCW’s not-so-subtle dig at WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross was in extremely poor taste, mocking the legendary announcer’s Bell’s palsy.

If Oklahoma had been a background character, perhaps he wouldn’t have been as reviled. But WCW stuck him front and center on television for months, because it’s totally cool to make fun of peoples’ maladies. He was at the announce booth, at ringside with Dr. Death, and even taking part in matches.

Absolutely. I was only partially joking/moking. Two of my absolute favorites from the golden age.
Too dumb to notice their limitations back in the day, but they still contributed greatly.

They were 2 of my favorites growing up as well.

Rewatching the 1990 Survivor Series now. I can't make gifs, but I would love to do a recap on it. Warrior really wasn't that great in ring, but he could work a crowd.

Resolution gate is amazing. At least to me it proves shit don't matter. No one even knows what the fuck they are looking at.

Gaming side is out of control. The damage control over the PS4 launch by some people is crazy.

Knack is exactly when everybody thought it would be. And Killzone is still Killzone.

Although the reviews for Knack actually make me interested in playing it. Heavenly Sword got relatively mixed reviews and I loved it.

All I want out of this gen is a Japanese wrestling game. Is that too much to ask?

As long as New Japan's business keeps growing, I could see a new Japanese wrestling game getting made this generation - they're owned by a trading card game company now and the president has expressed interest in seeing NJPW return to video games. Also, Stan Hansen mentioned a while back that he'd signed a legends contract that allows them to use his likeness for trading cards & video games, so there's some hope.

Basically, if people want to increase the likelihood of getting a good wrestling game in the foreseeable future, buy some New Japan iPPVs;

WCW Thunder 9/9/99

Go home show for Fall Brawl.

The show starts with a graphic mentioning the death of referee Mark Curtis/Brian Hildebrand. His death was also mentioned by the WWF, even though he never worked for them.

ibmVOyJIGxzdYV.gif



Barbarian vs Buff Bagwell

I suppose this is a way to prove Buff's newly found patriotism, by defeating another foreign guy. Jimmy threw something in the ring, way over shot it, and Buff used it to defeat Barb.

Recap of Berlyn on Nitro.

Lex Luger/Sting history video.

Van Hammer vs Blitzkrieg

Boy, I wonder who is going to win this match. Hammer easily won in a match that no one had any doubt about it.

Recap of the Hummer angle.

Chris Adams/Steve Regal/Dave Taylor vs Saturn/Shane Douglas/Chris Benoit

Chris Adams is so out of place in this group. Not only from his style and abilities, but also because Regal hates him and ignores him as much as possible. Benoit and Regal start out and do their headbutt spot. Benoit made Adams tap out to the Iron Crossface. Do you think Berlyn and Benoit would get along well?

Lodi vs Kaz Hayashi

The last time these two had a match, Kaz pinned Lenny. He beat Lodi this time.

Recap of the last few weeks of Hogan/Sting stuff.

Adrian Byrd/Bobby Blaze vs Sid

Obviously, Sid murdered both guys.

ibtkX2VbRY8JqG.gif


The Revolution comes to the ring. Dean has the TV Championship with him. Did the Revolution steal it from Rick Steiner since Rick wasn't allowed to be the TV Champion in a match with Goldberg on Nitro? Shouldn't Saturn be the one with the title since he has a title shot at the PPV? Dean vs Rick later tonight as well as Goldberg vs Bam Bam.

Barry Windham vs Booker T.

No Curly Bill as this was taped before that angle was decided. This would have some potential to be pretty decent if it wasn't on Thunder and Barry wasn't wearing a baby shirt. Barry never really reaching his potential is one of the biggest non-death/injury related tragedies in pro wrasslin. He was so good even as a rookie and he should have been the next Flair type. But it just never happened. The remaining Rednecks caused a DQ. Harlem Heat then got a beat down after the match.

Recap of Sting getting fucked in the dark in Hogan's locker room on Nitro.

Rick Steiner vs Dean Malenko WCW TV Championship

Rick attacked as Dean was getting in the ring. Sid came out and caused a DQ, even though Rick was firmly in control. Shane Douglas ran down and got powerbombed. Benoit locked the Iron Crossface on Sid while he was on the match shit talking. Saturn also came down. The heels ran away.

Goldberg vs Bam Bam Big Yellow

Remember when this match seemed like a big deal at the end of 1998/start of 1999? Now it is a Thunder main event with Bam Bam stalling like DDP. Bam Bam looks like he's lost a lot of weight, but in a sickness kind of way. Ref bump. DDP ran in a good 3 minutes after the ref bump. Goldberg still won. DDP attacked him with a chair after the bell.

DQ Count: 2 out of 8 matches.


Announced card for Fall Brawl:

Hulk Hogan vs Sting WCW Championship
Goldberg vs DDP
Sid vs Chris Benoit WCW US Championship
Harlem Heat vs West Texas Rednecks WCW Tag Team Championships
Rick Steiner vs Saturn WCW TV Championship
Buff Bagwell vs Berlyn
Hugh Morrus/Brian Knobs vs Dean Malenko/Shane Douglas
Vampiro/ICP vs Kidman/Rey Mysterio Jr./Eddie Guererro

Real talk re: Killzone. I agree with the text of most of the reviews - assuming they are correct - a regression into a corridor shooter is a big deal for me. I love some freedom, see Bulletstorm and Crysis 1, on approaching situations. I don't feel the same about corridor shooters like I used to.

Yeah sure you'll get a Japanese wrestling game and it'll be made by the greatest Japanese dev of all time...........Yukes.

Yeah, it is Japan after all :(

Oh well, hopefully the PS4 sells like gangbusters over there (because we all know the Xbone wont) and convinces a Japanese dev to make a next-gen wrestling game.

I'd kill for a proper new Fire Pro game.

Yukes must not have the same contempt for their home audience as they do their international one, as their last Japanese wrestling game (Wrestle Kingdom for the 360) was actually pretty great.

On paper Killzone games seem great, but there's something missing when you play them. They still feel like games from the PS2 era- minus graphics of course.

What I find crazy is the even though Cerny designed the PS4, Knack still looks the way it does. You'd think he'd have a leg up on the tools of the new system.

I actually bought a PS3 thinking I would import some sweet wrasslin games, but no luck. I had to settle for AAA.

Ok so I caught the livestream off twitch cause I hang out on twitch and not reffered by the insane nerds in gaming.

Knack looks boring, I suppose it is for kids though. I turned it off when he switched to ACIV , and I missed Killzone.

LOL Next Gen fucking sucks.

But on the plus side I beat my first dungeon in Link to the Past. Good stuff.
