That would be great. I hope it's soon though, I'm already tired of Knox.

Shouldn't you be learning right now? Staying home leeching off your parents again?

I'm actually looking forward to the Knox/Punk confrontation, I just think they should have at least had a brawl by now. It's a bit slow going, especially with 2 characters on every week.

 

[The Sage]

Those are classics. Old School fan?

Most definitely. I bought most of the pay-per-views of 2000 on VHS for the most part to see their matches. My favorite is their Backlash match, followed by the SummerSlam encounter, then the submission match at Judgment Day. Stiff, technical, high-flying, psychology, just great stuff.

I do what I want! No, I'm not leeching. This is my house. I own it!

I hope when they do have a match, it's Extrrrrrrreme Rrrrrrules csad: ). I think they need to let Punk work that style of match to let people know he can do it all.

 

[NDX]

Yeah, I'm surprised after all this time he hasn't had an "ER" match yet, even though he's been a mainstay on the show for a while now. You'd think at least that second match with Moore would have been "ER".

God, I can't even type out "ER".

Those were the days. I think they focused more on the matches than the "Entertainment" aspect. This is why I see TNA being the superior brand in terms of wrestling. You can see 10,000 wrestling moves on a TNA show while WWE seems to be focusing less and less about wrestling and more about "male soap opera storylines". I think this is the reason I miss Old School wrestling from the 80's to the end of the Attitude Era.

How much NWO stuff is on the new Hogan DVD?

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Damn double post

 

[Prognosticator]

How much of the new Hogan DVD deals with the NWO?

there's a portion on disc 2 entitled "formation of the nwo", and the next dvd segment is the famous Hogan v. Sting match. unfortunately (and that was the FIRST thing i was looking for) there's little more than that in the set

 

[TheVileOne]

To me, the Benoit Jericho feud was never as good as it could've been in the WWE.

Though I think they did have a couple more great matches on TV in 04/05 which I think were better than a lot of the ones they had in 2000.

Their best 2 out of 3 falls match was really disappointing.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Randy vs Punk from Japan,it's as if Orton is crying out for Sabre to become an RKO mark

 

[DOG LIPS]

Crap, what is this, Sabre's birthday thread?

 

[The FallenAngel]

The man ass is here makes me sad.

But damn, Orton/Punk happened, and we haven't seen it? W. T. F?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Hunter Rider]

Here's some balance to the force:heart:

 

[DOG LIPS]

Niiicceee. :heart::heart:

The only thing I found disappointing about it was the lack of time it got, same for the submission match.

[The FallenAngel]

GAH! I want to see those matches!

 

[DOG LIPS]

Dude, those matches kick ass. Damn you, WWE!

 

[The Sage]

Orton/CM Punk and Edge/RVD/Test sound like some good matchups.

 

[Mister J]

True and I wouldn't mind seeing Sabu beat the holy hell out of Nitro and Hardy/Thorm either. Stupid WWE.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I'd love to see the Punk/Orton match,they got 16 minutes which is enough to see how they work together and i wonder if Orton won clean

Also Balls vs Umaga should be tons of funt:

 

[Mr. Socko]

Do you guys like the new ECW?

 

[Mister J]

When WWE isn't screwing it up with shorter matches, more promos and silly out of the ring stuff, it's fine (though there's always room for improvement). Unfortunately, those instances are limited and the future appears to be even more so.

 

[Sarge 2.0]

Do you guys like the new ECW?

It's the only wrestling show on television that is consistently solid, with good 'rasslin and feuds going each week. The shows format is becoming stale, and they'll need to switch things up a bit, and SD has an overall better show, but ECW has Punk. So yeah, I like the new ECW.

 

[Eric Draven]

That actually was a problem with ECW back when it was on TNN as well. I just lost a lot of interest in the program. Well that and they had like only one match on each week....
