October Wrasslin' |OT| Running around in our underwear making ugly faces
- Thread starter Perspicacity
- Start date
I just don't get how the Monday Night War show is just full of soundbytes by WWE backstage people, including Steph and Hunter, of people explaining why WCW was shit (overexposure, not enough wrestling, no building of new stars) when that is going on right now in WWE and they're doing nothing to fix it.
I can understand the lower execs not having enough power backstage like Malenko, but surely Michael Hayes and definitely Steph and Hunter have Vince's ear to get this point across? I guess it's the lack of competition and the fact ratings remain pretty much stable year after year.
Still, so weird that they clearly know what's wrong, but aren't doing anything to fix it.
Daniel Bryan describing why nobody gives a shit about anything going on in WWE because they know it ultimately means nothing (but actually speaking about WCW Cruiserweights) is particularly "funny".

You can't look to some WWE-produced thing for any sort of consistency. This is the company that made that first Warrior DVD and everyone said he was some giant shitbag, then when he wanted to play ball, he's suddenly one of the most important stars ever.
There is also the idea that Vince has the final say until he goes away, so maybe it's not worth bothering? Can't say without having been there. I'm fully expecting a storyline involving a reboot of sorts once he goes hands-off.

Yoko on the forklift should've been the last thing until he slimmed down. Also, he should've never spoken. Turning on Superstars or whatever after years of him just saying "bonzai" and hearing him be all like "yo brah, this fat man's gonna wipe his ass with yo head, word" or whatever was just too weird.

What'd you find when you googled it earlier?
I love rewatching the 1994 Raw with Yokozuna vs Randy Savage where Macho Man's basically trying to go for his last world title in WWF while being booked against Yoko who was just murdering everybody at that point. The match is really good, and the crowd is on fire for the whole thing.
Sadly, it ends with a bunch of run-ins.

Yoshitatsu says he's going to prove his worth to New Japan by taking down the Bullet Club all by himself, as such he'll be billed as 'The Bullet Club Hunter' Yoshitatsu;
Also, Bruce Tharpe-des has got his own t-shirt, lol;
I will absolutely be buying the Bruce Tharpe-des t-shirt. puroresushop.com

I liked the Diesel / Undertaker match better.
Her twitter and a few other places of people saying their opinions on her. Not even any fakes!
I didn't, I went!
I went and bought a shirt during that match

This is a horrible post, Mongo is the worst worst worst
Maybe it's just because you haven't seen him wrestle yet.
Nitro is definitely better than current WWE though
I didn't know he was going to wrestle, he has been color up until where I'm at. I only like him because he brought his dog with him on camera. That is awesome. Dogs are the best! Mongo is cool in my book.

Dogs are the best, but Mongo is absolutely horrendous. They'll cancel each other out.
Nitro during that time was insanely better, yeah.
I've been hearing from multiple people that they think Mongo is quite good. It seems people coming in fresh don't mind him for some reason. I guess it's because commentary right now is so bad anything is good in comparison.
Honestly can't think of another reason.
Also, cats are the superior pets.

Are you sure that isn't affecting your judgment today?
Dayquil is a hell of a drug. I'm staring a Mongo fanclub.
Listening to Mongo is like staring in the sun too long, so this makes sense.
Max Payne 3 is the best Bruce Willis Movie simulator ever made

Max Payne 3 is great, great, great the first time through. Due to their technical limitations, subsequent run-throughs are very tough because while the cutscenes are skippable, that's how they mask load times - so you'll be lucky if you can skip about 5 seconds apiece.

Max Payne has the Hitman Absolution problem of pre-rendering all their damn cutscenes.
This means the game is like 30 gigs. For someone with data caps or dirt internet (I am the latter)...

BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

Yeah, he's right about this. It's a clever way to mask loading times but it does kind of hinder replays.

Probably because he has more of a personality than any of today's announcers. Even if he is bad on the mic he's a breath of fresh air to what we have now.

Yeahhhhhhhhhh that was just....yeahhhhhh
Honestly I loved the flashbacks to NJ and the boat. And the stadium. Stadium was probably my favorite part. Least favorite were the favela areas. Maybe the building near the end.

WWE is hopping on the Randy Orton Vine bandwagon. They just posted a video of him RKOing The Shockmaster as he trips through the wall.
I went in fresh and honestly, Mongo is fucking terrible but he's terrible in a different way from how Cole/JBL/Lawler are right now. He's bad simply because announcing isn't his forte, even though he seems to genuinely be trying, while the current WWE group are bad because they're just puppets to Vince.
Yeah, Max Payne 3 was pretty much my GOTY when it came out. It had so many well done memorable segments for me. The favela parts are the weakest parts of the game though for sure. The New Jersey, stadium, and airport parts are fucking fantastic though.

They need to watch out, putting RKOs in videos WITH wrestling is the fast track to making people not give shits.

They call you the Hot Rod
But what exactly do they mean?
A towering inferno of temper
But beneath that skirt, you're anything but lean
You preside over the World Wrestling Federation in a fashion that is so far gone
With all those sexy temper tantrums
~ooo~
You turn me on
Mr President Piper, you are so mean, so hard, and so ripe.
To you I have but one request
When does Goldust get to play that bagpipe?
I look forward to that imitation. I look forward with much lust.
Mr. President Piper, you will never forget the name of
Goldust

Let's discuss the best way to introduce TMF status to people on gaming-side. Should we start with doing TMF November on our avs?
Bet they will do one of Orton doing the RKO to Ric Flair mid Flair Flop.
