maniacripper posted:Rey also said in an interview that before the match where he lost his mask, Eddie came into the locker room and told Rey that if he changed his mind and didn't want to lose it he'd leave with him and tell WCW to gently caress off or something. I kind of hope that Eddie was just REALLY hoping that Rey would change his mind so he'd have an excuse to say,"Well poo poo now I have to leave this terrible company!"

He showed up in TNA, famously calling the rules for King of the Mountain "quite simple, really."

Followed by 5 minutes of explaining the rules that left everyone just as confused as before.

TL posted:They did. He called one match on WCW Raw and was never heard from again. Also a couple matches taped that week with Smackdown. I think one was on SD and one on Heat. Then they decided not to give WCW a show and they didn't need him, plus he wanted too much money I think. I'm still waiting for Sean Mooney to show up, since he supposedly signed.

I watched wrestling pretty much from 1988-2003. When I was younger it was all about the big storylines and the top wrestlers, but when I got old enough I grew to appreciate WCW for its Cruiserweight Division and I liked both when it came to tag teams and stables. I loved the nWo and DX. When WWE bought out ECW and WCW, it just went downhill and I started getting bored. I haven't watched wrestling in 5 or 6 years (except for Bret Hart a few weeks ago).

I found something better. I hope I haven't already posted this, but I don't think I have... WAR GAMES 2000: RUSSO'S REVENGE! http://www.youtube.com/user/hitman2010#p/u/5/Kcdlj0urAg0 I just wish when Tony said "The rules are" he followed it up with "Simple." Since there is nothing simpler than War Games staggered entrances in a 3 tiered cage where a wrestler must retrieve the belt from the top cage and then escape to to the door in the 1st floor with the belt to win. Sound like the lightning round of almost every Nick game show of the 80s and early 90s to anyone?

That's actually incredibly simple. Get the belt, leave with the belt. What's difficult about it? The only thing they hosed up was everything else.

LividLiquid posted:That's actually incredibly simple. Get the belt, leave with the belt. What's difficult about it? The only thing they hosed up was everything else. No it isn't. First of all, it involves THREE CAGES. You need to climb up the structure through three cages to get the belt. So, you've combined a cage match with a ladder match. On top of this, the second cage is full of weapons. So you've combined a weapons match, a cage match, and a ladder match. Then you add in the War Games teams. So you've got a Team based Cage match combined with a ladder match combined with a weapons match. War Games has Royal Rumble entrances, so you have a Royal Rumble style staggered entrances in a team based triple cage/ladder/weapons match. On top of this, the teams had to qualify for the match, and some of the matches were handi cap matches. THAT IS loving COMPLICATED! In its most simple form, wrestling matches are: Two Guys Fight in a ring. In its most simple form this match is: 8 Guys who enter at different times fight while attempting to climb up three cages to get a belt and then attempt to escape with the belt.

I think you misunderstood me. I was saying the idea is incredibly stupid and the only decent idea in the whole mess is the get belt, leave with belt part.

So, do you have to be the original person to obtain the belt or simply walk out with it? If the latter, what's to stop someone from just waiting at the bottom for the schmuck with the belt and jack him? Hell, what's the point of getting the belt if that occurs? (Never seen the match, so I have no idea how it worked)

The best part is that there are teams, but there is one individual winner. So what the gently caress are the teams for?

And now you reminded me of maybe the worst PPV main event ever.  Wargames 2000 was a prime example of the Nitro Swerve...two heels tease dissension, only to have been FAKING IT AND THEY WERE IN CAHOOTS ALL ALONG!

I put on Raw for the first time in years the other night because my wife was interested after watching The Wrestler. Question: When did Triple H and Shawn Michaels become so insufferable? It seems all they do is pat each other on the back and wink while shilling DX merchandise. And there's green poo poo everywhere.

Triple H was doing a storyline with Legacy last time he was in the title-scene and he brought back Shawn Michaels for another rehash of DX to feud with them. Once that was out the way, they went into shill-bot status and now have a pet leprechaun. Then again, this is Wrestlehut, so Triple H has been insufferable for most of this century.

Also keep in mind that DX has been main eventing RAW for about the past two or three months while the WWE title receives second booking to the Tag Team Titles.
