Spermgod posted:i always find it funny that the rock and trips are both super gym ratty dudes but triple h is all "ahurr durr skinny fat too many cheeseburgers" whereas rock, who is ten times the performer that triple h is, is like "wrestling these days needs more buddy roses" HHH is an insecure musclenerd so yeah it's not a huge surprise that they wouldn't agree on this. It's nice hearing Rock and Austin's opinions on wrestling because they have way better eyes for talent than most of the yokels running WWE now.

The lyricless version right before that was pretty good. Or it might just be since I associate it with him murdering Jeff Hardy.

The instrumental version is what they dub over Rollin and/or American Badass. It's ok other than very obviously being the the same song as Bischoff's theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG3tKUyZ6YU

Pretty much all of them are worth watching. I can't think of a bad one. There are weaker ones, but the gimmick is always fun.

So did nobody mention ROB VAN DAM because it's just accepted it's the worst and everyone else is second place? I actually think the first verse is something I hate more than the chorus.

X-Factor was great because it just took the whole "nobody wants to see X-Pac" bit and cranked it up to 11 to annoy the poo poo out of everyone. X-Pac doing his stupid porno shuffle walk with the music being like "I GOT EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED doo doooo doo doo doooo" haha it ruled.

CopywrightMMXI posted:I thought it was "I know you hate that fact" but I'm not going to re-listen to that poo poo to confirm. It's both. The original song is an Uncle Kracker song that goes "I know you hate that fact" and the WWE version just has a dude cut in yelling "X-FACTUH" over it and if you listen closely you can still hear the song lyrics under it. gently caress you, Justin Credible.

Psh, I liked Justin Credible fine. He was an annoying little pissant who got enough cheap wins to keep being an annoying little pissant. Well, that was the ECW version, prior to the dumb dumb dumb World title win.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:The elimination chamber where Edge cashes in after is awful and so is the ECW chamber (the ECW chamber topped off one of the worst PPVs in modern WWE history). The Chamber that Cena wins has its moments, but I remember being annoyed that Angle got KO'd so quickly. It was neat to see the crowd get behind Carlito and Masters as they pulverized Cena, but we all saw that finish from a mile away. Edge's cash-in is the best part of the whole thing. I love that Vince appears immediately after the bell, and Joey Styles just trails off. "NOBODY GOES ANYWHERE! THIS! NIGHT! IS! NOT! OVER! RAISE THE CAGE!" The ECW chamber is mostly bullshit, but fun enough for what it is. I want to say that wasn't even the best match on the card.

I can't decide the worst thing about that show, though: - Removing Sabu mid-PPV from the main event - Eliminating Punk so early in EC - Putting Bob Holly in the EC - Having Lashley wait for 1-2 minutes until the timer ran down for Big Show to enter the EC - Daivari getting a rollup win over Dreamer - the mixed tag match and everything about it, mostly asking Kelly Kelly to wrestle - Balls Mahoney working an 80s WWF match with Matt Striker - Sylvester Ter-kai for existing

the big problem with them was after they peaked with the Hardcore Heaven '99 match they basically just had the same match over and over again

He'd talk about the innovator of the move, its variations and their names. poo poo like that. It could get annoying during bigger matches, but really, when during an opening card match with two incredibly green students, it's not exactly a detraction to hear an encyclopedic discussion of pro-wrestling holds.
