So you prefer WCW. I prefer WWF, so I have to see your report. Very humorous, especially when you talk about one-eye Duggan. Are you a fan of Goldberg, or are you against his title campaign?
I honestly don't mind Goldberg too much. He's good at what he does, which is go out and act like a badass. I liked him more when he'd pull a new move out every match or so. Now he's just turned into spear-jackhammer man. He hardly even uses the rollthrough-anklelock anymore.
My biggest question mark is what they'll do with him. At Road Wild, he was quickly put over by every major title contender in the federation. How do you have this guy lose, and still save face with the fans?
Would it be appropriate to start calling Goldberg "Godberg", I mean it's obvious, WCW will not make him lose in the next 500 years or so, and when he got choke slammed, he rose up like the Undertaker, showing, that he is supernatural, therefore the nickname Godberg?
Well, if Hogan claims that he's God, and Hogan was willing to prostrate himself before the Temple of the Goldberg,......you tell me!
Ian "Doc" Dean did defeat Jushin "Thunder" Liger. The match was taped on 05/25/97 at Tottori as part of the Super Juniors torunament. The match aired on 06/07/97 on New Japan television. Liger had his knee injured before this match.
The match remained on the mat until Dean connected on a dropkick that propelled Liger to the floor. Dean capitalized with a somersault plancha from the apron. He attempted to follow with a vertical suplex over the top rope but Liger was able to block it. Liger then vaulted the top turnbuckle where he hit a missile dropkick. Liger Irish-whipped Dean into the corner but met Dean's boot when he rushed him. Dean splashed Liger from the top turnbuckle which merited a two-count.
Dean then positioned Liger on top turnbuckle, where he executed a hurricanrana to score another two-count. Liger regained the advantage with a palm blow that scored him a two-count. He followed with a brainbuster to set up a diving headbutt and another two-count. Liger powerbombed Dean who again kicked out at 2. Dean rolled Liger up with schoolboy for a two-count.
The finish came as Dean missed a diving splash and Liger attempted to roll him up with schoolboy. Dean countered with a roll-up of his won and scored the pin in 11:51. Liger booked the match himself. It was considered an extremely benevolent job for Liger as earlier in the year on the 02/17/97 Nitro, Dean was one of Jacquelyn's first victims during a match with Kevin Sullivan. The match was redone later in the year and aired on the 05/04/97 edition of {Pro}, and again Jacquelyn manhandled Dean. This was just three weeks before he upset Liger.
Why not lay off Travis??? Have you ever listened to his tunes?? Doubtful!!! Not bad! And you can even understand the lyrics! In the words of Jim Ross "MY GOD, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???" You write a pretty good column but if you're gonna bitch about the tunes then at least give us an alternative!!
Being of 100% pure Southern Virginia redneck stock as I am, I figure I can run down country music if I want to. Kind of like if you're a member of [insert group name here], you get to make jokes about them.
Not that my parents or sister wouldn't have minded going to SEE Tritt in concert, but still....
What do you think of the bizarre twist Bret Hart's wrestling persona has recently taken? He has randomly gone from the "new sheriff in town"/"nobody gets screwed if I'm around" to Hogan's "fringe nWo" crony to "please trust me Sting". All of this while being paid a lot of money and doing very little wrestling in between. Doesn't it remind you a bit of Ric Flair in the late 80's/early 90's when he would unpredictably swing between heel and face/'tweener? What do you think is the ultimate story line here?
I thought I had a handle on the Hart situation once he turned heel. He'd suck up to Hogan, while secretly plotting his downfall. Then he'd turn on Hogan, get mad face heat, and go on to move into the uppercard and PPV main events. Now, I'm not real sure WHAT they're planning on doing with him.
Is it me, or is the handwriting of the graffitti in his locker room strangely similar to the handwriting of the graffitti in the Nation's locker room last year when DOOM member Ron Simmons Farooq was in charge? Not that I'm trying to say anything, but at the time, some guy named Bret somethingoranother was in the WWF, and I think there's a Bret in WCW. I may be looking too deep into this though...
I still think that Hart, Neidhart, and Smith should form a stable called the "Old Age Inlaws."
So it's not just me......
