Watched Roberts vs Rude from MSG 10/25/88. I enjoyed the match quite a bit. I like the little things like Roberts biting Rude's hand to stop the Rude Awakening, and the way Rude sold Roberts' knee lift. The angle with Jake's wife certainly added to the match as well. I also dug the stipulation because every time a man went for a finisher there was a moment of anticipation.
That last part is the key to how good that match is, those two guys worked MSG into a frenzy waiting to see who could hit their big move, it was a case of doing a lot with a little.
Not broken, you just need to know the right word to replace the *****.

Replace the * in B*TCH in I. And you get the proper link.
Now I see, very accurate.
A quick filestube search might help you out, HR.
I've checked everywhere and I still can't find that Mondo documentary.
Didn't watch Lockdown, but I read the report and it sounds like it was a rather lackluster show that dropped the ball. I cannot believe they did not have Storm go over in TN.
I'm surprised because some of those matches on paper had the potential to be off-the charts
I watched the show, some of the matches were hindered by the cage, like the tag title match. The Lethal Lockdown match was so predictably booked and dull, I skipped Morgan/Crimson, ODB & EY vs Sexy salsa and Devon/Robbie D but Gail did a great job with Velvet, getting probably the best match out of Velvet I've seen anyone get.
Angle vs Jeff was like all their matches and suffered from the usual finisher kick out stuff they always do together. It was obvious before the match even started that Jeff would win with a Swanton off the top.
Roode vs Storm was good but the cuts to Storm's wife were a bad idea as she had the same dazed smile on her face regardless. I also thought the crowd was poor, I expected them to be behind Storm like Chicago was behind Punk last year at MITB, but they were fairly subdued.
Roode is arguably the best in the business right now and while I thought Storm would win in his hometown I get the feeling he just isn't over enough, he's certainly not as over as Hardy sadly and I think TNA want to keep Roode's molten heat in tact, thus the finish which you could see coming a mile off.
MVP strikes me as the kind of guy that would have been careful with his money, so I don't think he had a need to go to TNA.
I'd love to see him back, people talk a lot about Morrison being wasted potential but MVP was the bigger one for me. Solid in the ring AND on the mic. Ditto in regards to Carlito albeit prone to the odd botch.
Carlito was way too lazy and whiny to ever be a top guy. MVP had cosmetic and style issues but they never got the machine behind him to alter that.
