I said he was the champion, she asked why he gets to be the champion when he's so small this is the reason I imagine Vince riding around in a limo wearing sunglasses while listening to "drat It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta" as loud as possible.

I've had a good half a dozen tweets from Elgin because I kept mentioning that he sucks and looks like Jay Sherman.

A big single company name from that era that no one's mentioned yet is Rock. HHH had a short WCW stint in 94-95 but was WWE only by the time Nitro started in the fall of '95. Luger of course had a WWF stint in the mid '90s but again was WCW only by the time Nitro started.

xNarUtoRKOrton420x posted:So here's a question, I recently told my parents that I'd gotten back into wrestling. When I was a kid my parents would watch it with me, we'd use to watch 1999 and 2000's WCW and they have a passing interest in wrestling. They don't really think/understand how the product has moved on since then though, what could I show them (promo/video package/match) to convince them or at least show them otherwise. I feel like the Pipebomb might be a good example but that needs a good lot of context beforehand. Wrestlemania 30 was a great show and a pretty good distillation of the current product, show them that.

I was thinking to myself "Nash was lame, but he did some memorable powerbombs, didn't he?" Looking into it, I realize all his powerbombs against big guys were sloppy. Dean Malenko and Jushin Liger had great powerbombs.

I tend to not like powerbombs as much if they aren't sitout. It lessens the impact. Nash's is even worse because he just sort of lets go halfway and lets gravity take over. I also think it's weird how Batista never pins a dude after he does his, and does a backward somersault and THEN a pin. So I guess what I'm saying is, a properly executed Liger Bomb owns all the bones.

Everyone will think I'm crazy for saying it, but I'm not terribly impressed by either of those moves. It's not hard to make a move look powerful when you drop a guy on his neck.

Well we need a clarification from Blast on this.Blast Fantasto posted:Who has/had the best powerbomb in wrestling? Now, are we talking straight up powerbombs OR powerbomb variants? Most of the people here are listing variants, like the Jackknife and Last Ride and poo poo.

Going back several pages to the WWE era talk, I always considered Wrestlemania X7 to Wrestlemania XX/Summerslam 04 to be "the Crossover Era." It's only three years, but it really stands on its own as this window of time where WWE was coasting off both their victory and the huge supply of dream matches. It was about bringing in guys like the WCW roster, RVD, the nWo, Mysterio, Steiner, Bischoff, Goldberg, etc. to set up dream matches that didn't need compelling stories to make money. At least in their mind. You can even include Shawn Michaels' return to action to that list if you want. The only guy they really built from the ground up as a big deal during that time was Brock Lesnar. Cena, Orton and Batista were merely in the planning stages for a while. Towards the end, the big names on the roster started to dwindle and almost all the money matches had been done. They were so low on new big talent that we got #1 contender Hardcore Holly out of it. At Wrestlemania XX, it about ended with the last big dream match in Lesnar vs. Goldberg, which was a complete disaster, as well as Rock doing his final match for years in what was an afterthought of an appearance. Meanwhile, Cena, Orton and Batista got some major wins on the undercard and just shortly after, JBL became a big deal all of the sudden. As much as Benoit and Guerrero deserved to be champs, their reigns were ultimately little more than placeholders to tape together the end of the Crossover Era and the beginning of the Cena Era (or Ruthless Aggression or whatever you'd call it). There's a lot to be sad about with their WMXX celebration, but it's additionally depressing to see them at the following Royal Rumble at #1 and #2 as a reminder that they were basically discarded from the main event scene. Them being the first two in there was borderline nostalgia for something that happened ten months prior.

Skunkrocker posted:Well we need a clarification from Blast on this. I was thinking either, really. I probably had some sort of imaginary powerbomb guideline in my head, because I consider the Jackknife and Last Ride to be powerbombs (because they're basically just powerbombs where you lift the guy REAL high), but I don't consider the Razor's Edge to be one. I know this doesn't make any real sense, but the Razor's Edge doesn't feel like a powerbomb to me, because of how it looks. So there's some non-clarification clarification. Also I agree with the earlier assessment that sit-down powerbombs are the poo poo.
