Cold am I, I'm beside myself...wait, sorry. Lazy am I! Yeah, I'm late. I know. So, no **** from you, eh NrrrrG! Besides, you know the Harpings take awhile. God knows how many PWF shows I've done before. This is my return to the PWF, and this is the "Hebtheeagle Harpings"!
*56-29-10 on my picks
*Wow, that intro page is a whole lot of nothing...oh dear Lord. Cena to start? Do I have to?...say this much, those gifs you got there are spliffy...hahaha! He threw the shirt at the camera. That's good stuff...nice use of the video in a gif...BWAHAHAHA! He got Dawn and Trish to dance for him! That's awesome!...nice mix of the songs together. Flowed very smooth. But, seeing as you're a music producer, that's not all that surprising. Pretty cool start actually, though I don't particular care for Cena. It's a hot way to get the crowd going. And Trish and Dawn dancing cracked me up.
*Rap? Again? Well, R&B...I stand corrected. Usher, and if I am not mistaken, the song is "Yeah" featuring Lil' John and the East Side Boys...[[The King: Did you just quote Little John J.R.? This is a historical night.........Ha Ha!!]] HEEHEE! Tell him King!...[[Jim Ross: Don't get your boots in a wad just yet King it could also be Kurt Angle or Jake Roberts or even that vile Kane. The King: You always gotta be a buzzkiller don't you J.R.?]] HAHAHA! That's just good...nice use of the extra figures into a backstage scene. Kind of a who's who of the PWF...GXW? I must have missed something since the last PWF show, because I don't recall that...[[Ted Dibiase: William's Right, Bob I want you to put together a hand picked welcoming party just incase GXW does show up and make sure they get the"Proper" welcome to PWF.]] Smells like an asswhooping about to happen to me!...nice mix of Christian's songs, and it looks like the first person into the hot seat will be none other then Captain Chrisma himself, Christian...wow, very frank speaking by Christian. I don't recall a injury, but I do remember reviewing Overload where he won said "Pink Slip on a Pole" match...well, already then. Match time, it is.
*Ultimo Dragon vs. Shelton Benjamin-Prediction: Benjamin, even though opening with a heel win may be a bad idea in wrestling terms...You forgot to add Dragon to Ultimo's entrance gif, doc...[[Jim Ross: You gotta be kidding me, King you got more skeletons in your closet than Michael Jackson]] Heehee! First of all, he's a Browns fan. Something's obviously wrong
...most of the fans respect Shelton for his athleticism...nice touch with the "PWF TV title" pop-up thingie...circle sequence into the collar and elbow tie-up...Christian is kinda distracting to be honest. I'd prefer he perhaps have come out after the match instead...[[Christian: Yeah but speed with no Charisma is worth about 2 buckets of Camel Crap in this business.....]] That's actually a pretty decent point...very cool ani series for the attempted monkey flip by Ultimo, and Shelton landing on his feet...and turns to get drilled in the chest with a chop...[[Jim Ross: Now wait just a damn minute........The Dragon just scored with a blatant soccer kick right to the breadbasket of The Champion and it looks like the good will between these 2 may be going out the window here early.]] Last I checked Ross, that's a legal move...and Shelton steals from AJ, countering the suplex into a neckbreaker...ok, that was cool. Very nice springboard elbow by Shelton...and rams Ultimo's head into the steps. Now that, JR, is illegal in the course of a match. Not that the referees ever do anything about it, mind you...[[Christian: See if I was The Champ instead of this cheap diplay I'd hit The Dragon with The Unprettier and it would be 1,2,3 and the quickest match in PPV history]] Please, someone shut him up...pretty cool counter into the NLS, but I'd have appreciated a bit more build for Shelton. The control just keeps swinging back and forth here...cover by Ultimo off the NLS, gets TWOOOOO before the kickout (with pose)...[[Christian: A little? He was wide open like Paris Hilton............Jim Ross: Folks I apologize for our guests comments........Christian: For what...........they know Paris is Loose............]] HAHAHAHA!...[[The King: And Rome is burning.]] I don't see many people getting that reference...Ultimo goes for the moonsault press, but Shelton rolls out of the way...only to be superkicked FLUSH on the jaw by Ultimo! Lights out!...[[Jim Ross: For one who pats his own back as much as you I guess it's natural for you to be facing in the direction]] that's actually a pretty witty statement by Ross there...what the hell was that? Looked like a botched basement dropkick...very cool pose for the attempted backdrop by Shelton...Ultimo lands on the apron, and so Shelton just clocks him with a right to knock him off...BAD ani for the shooting star. Mostly because the move took place out of the view of the camera. On a move like that, you want to show it...well, of course a move like that takes a lot out of both guys...how is Ultimo first to his feet, when it was Shelton who did the move?...very cool ani for the reversal there. That was slick...Dragon suplex out of nowhere. Cover! 1-2-KICKOUT! And a damn large one at that!...Dragon with more chops now...but Shelton fires back...I think you botched the "Dragon Whip Kick". The reason I say that is because Shelton traditionally leaves his feet when he does the move...cover no matter, for TWOOOOOOOO!...looks like Shelton's readying for the "Stinger Splash"!...no-one there, BUT HE LANDS ON THE TOP-ROPE! Perfect Shelton there!...ooooh! Ow! He landed Shelton on his "Little Benjis!"...HOLY poopy! INVERTED 'RANA FROM THE TOP! GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! That was very Juvi-Silver King of them...that was not the Asai moonsault! The asai moonsault is a Lionsault to the outside. That was a normal middle-turnbuckle moonsault. That got knees...ooooooooooh! That overhead belly2belly is DIRTY!...and there's Ultimo with a knee. The psychology is dead!...That's the ASAI DDT!...but he's too hurt to make the cover. Finally, some psychology. And a good size piece of it too!...Dragon to the top to try to finish this...and Shelton pops up with the POWERPLEX OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Count it (1), count it (2), count it (3), and this one is over!..1-0 on my picks (57-29-10 overall) Stars: ***. Was going to be 2 1/2*, but that end spot gave you the extra 1/2*. I'd use the Cameras, but this damn thing will be long enough as it is, so I don't feel the need to. Besides, I have to wait to get 1/2* cameras for the full numbers. (see the problems I had with BAoW for what I mean) Needs more in terms of control. Meaning, it bounced back and forth too much. Have one person control the match, and lead up to the high impact stuff. Good enough start though.
*And looks like the PWF debut of the Tokyo Syndicate...how many episodes do you have to run in Tokyo to get syndicated? Nevermind. Bad joke...that is a very business-like suits for the members of TTS...[[Christian: Well they most definately have good taste in clothing.]] I like so totally just said that! Well, not that exactly, but you know what I mean...very cool of Akio to bow to Shelton. That's Akio putting him over without speaking there...and there goes Shelton. I sense Ultimo's in trouble...wow, all three turn their back on Ultimo...and Akio with a superkick. Isn't that like the fourth time he's been kicked in the jaw this match?...[[The King: I guess The Tokyo Syndicate's crred is failure isn't an option.]] Yeah, and their creed too! (Spelling, doc)...that may be the weakest finisher in pro wrestling...[[CROWD: CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]] That never fails to crack me up...and Shelton single-handidly taking out the Syndicate...I'll assume this means that Akio is the leader of the Syndicate...and if you look closely, Christian into the ring...way too quick on the Unprettier ani. Needs slowed down...[[King: It sounds like Osama Bin Ladin just got voted for President in here]] Not something I would've use, but w/e...
*Down goes Sting. Or more specifically, down is Sting!...[[Jake Roberts: Does it hurt Sting? The Book of The Snake says that the non-righteous man shall endure a lifetime of Pain and insignificance]] I find it ironic that a you'd have a Satanist (assuming) like Roberts fighting a known Christian (not Cage) in Sting...wait, Warrior gets cheered? Bizarro world!...cool Warrior figure...[[The Ultimate Warrior: WE NEED SOME HELP OVER HERE!!!!!!!!]] That's not realistic. Warrior doesn't speak that clearly...looks like that may screw up our tag match. But that's later. Backstage...
*Where Molly is with The Rock..you'd think she'd have learned not to try to interview him by now. He always insults her...I'm sure if you looked, there's a "Rock in Atlanta" .wav file online somewhere...[[Rock: and a pretty damn good interviewer if I must say so myself.]] Heehee...hahaha! Angle is "Stan the Cameraman!" Hilarious...[[Stan: I don't eat much Pie, I'm more of a Cocktail man myself.]] I sense the Rock about to have a heart attack!...HAHAHAHA! He just lays into Stan...and the boot in the ass. Stan must be the Rock's new "Coach"...bah, the Elton John references are over-done. Lance Bass would've been more current...hahaha! Carlitowned!...[[Molly: HA........looks like you got "Served" huh Rock?]] Molly is a Jack Evans fan? Well, alrighty then...Carlito and Rock with a mike work would be a pretty entertaining feud. I'd like to see you pull the trigger on that.
*Big John Studd vs. The Rock-Prediction: Rock...love Studd's music. (hums Manson while reviewing match)...is that chick with the chain meant to be Chyna? Sure looks like her...very cool use of the Tron for Rock. And the cut into him on the ramp was nice as well...and Studd from behind...he bent the rope! That's a cool pose...[[Jim Ross: That he is and just as controversial as well King..........his "Adult" antics have raised quite a few eyebrows around here..........]] not to mention a few on this very forum...and Studd places Rock into HBK position...and a clubbing forearm...that ani is running really slow for me. It's actually showing it picture by picture. Kinda destroys the visual...and now Studd's second comes into play...that can not feel good...Rock ducks the clothesline...and the samoan drop connects. (That one ran smooth)...I think he is right. Studd not really been in the ring in PWF with someone Rock's size...Gimp onto the apron, so Rock belts him one...and turns into a HUGE boot to the face. (Cool pose there)...and the dominatrix sees the opportunity to intervene...Hebner seen her! And he ejects her! Hahaha! Byebye, leather chick!...[[Ross: Studd's raking his boot right across the face of The Rock!!!!]] Looks more like he's stomping on Rock's arm there to me...another slow-running one for me, but still the effect was the same, as Studd wipes out Rock in the corner...and a huge standing suplex sends Rock straight back to the canvas...that may be the most disturbing move in pro wrestling right there. And I am being as honest as I can when I say that!...cover gets TWOOOOOOOOOO! I am sure that is the first time that has been kicked out of...hahaha! Replay...man, that spit punch image cracks me up every time...the ani on the DDT was cool, but it didn't run smooth until I moved it to my WMP...and Rock tosses the masked guy into the ring...atomic drop by Rock...and OH MY GOD! It's VAL FRICKING VENIS!...ROCK BOTTOM~!! and a beauty, btw...Studd tries a clothesline, but Rock ducks...and a 'pinebuster puts Studd down...BWAHAHAHAHAHA! FUNNIEST ANI EVER! That was awesome!...Cover and it's 1, 2, 3!...2-0 on my picks (58-29-10 overall) Stars: **. To be honest, kinda slow. But with some-one like Studd in there, you really can't expect a whole lot, so ** for this seems about right.
*[[Jim Ross: The lokk on Big John Studd's face says it all, he's in utter disbelief.]] He kind of can't help the look on his face! (Yes, I've used that joke, and I'll USE IT AGAIN!)...hahaha! Rock goes HEEEEEEEL!...and play his music.
*Well, that is quite the collection of people sitting there, isn't it. I've got enough with the matches as is, no reviews of crowd segments! Let's go backstage...
*Where the fans are letting Team America have it!...[[Haas: We don't just perform during the regular season and give up in the playoffs like The Atlanta Braves]] You've just done the impossible. You've now made me want to see Jeff Hardy win a match! Braves forever, Haas!...hahaha! Nice touch with the hat and Coach at the end. Good use of the accesories.
*And to the reunited Hart Foundation. Not sure how I feel about seeing Davey Boy Smith. I respected the man as a wrestler, so I guess it's ok, if he's used with dignity...and all of a sudden, I feel the need to punch Jimmy Hart...Someone take the damn megaphone. He's like Fonzie with the whistle on that damn thing!...[[Bret: I'll keep it clean but what you need to be worried about is that overgrown Warthog Goldberg]] Heh. He does kinda look like a warthog, now that Bret mentions it...[[The King: I know I know, keep your pants on J.R.]] Not an image I needed, thank you very much.
*TLC tag titles: Team Xtreme vs. Team America-Prediction: Team Xtreme...nice touch with the Team America intro. Anything I get to see Torrie's boobs, it's cool...and there's the tag title graphic...that's a pretty cool Jeff figure there...Matt, deciding that tables, ladders, and chairs weren't enough, decides to use the ring-steps for the fun of it...very cool ani for the flapjack by Jeff on Kurt...by jove, I think he's going for the ladder, but what do I know?...meanwhile, Matt tosses Charlie into the second row...very cool pose for the dropkick by Angle...GERMAN ONTO THE LADDER! DANGEROUS!...and in comes Matt...right into an overhead belly2belly. He's singlehandidly taking out the Hardyz...OMG! Kurt killed Matt! Well, temporarily anyway...and then puts Jeff back first into the ladder with an Angle Slam. Kurt has done most of the heavy hitting here...[[Jim Ross: Uhhh, folks we don't condone illegal gambling.]] Well, Lawler does alot of things we don't condone. Like 16 year old girls, for example...heh, too short of a ladder there, eh Kurt? (Cool series leading to that)...yeah, I don't think you can talk sense into Jeff Hardy. There's too much meth in there...a mid-air shot of Angle falling into the ropes would've been a though there...meanwhile, Jeff decides to become "Captain Insano" part 2, with a running up a ladder STANDING SWANTON to the outside!...King's right. Never turn your back on Angle. He's laying into Jeff...Matt back into the ring, getting the ladder...and he just belts Charlie one with it! GOOOOOOOAL!....looks like Angle may have butchered the Angle Slam there. Because I don't think Jeff actually hit the ringpost...well, there's Charlie taken out of the match for awhile...why the hell is Kurt putting a table there?...he's going back for Jeff. I assume that means the news for him isn't good...Hardy to the eyes, backing Kurt off...very cool series for Matt taking Charlie out of the ring with the clothesline. Also, where's the ring crew? Someone has to remove that broken table!...mid-air ladder shot would've been nice there...man, Angle's on Jeff like Animal on a buffet table!...does Matt know any other attack moves besides clothesline?...meanwhile, while Matt and Jeff assault Kurt, Charlie slides under the ring...and pulls out el-ladder muy largo!...I think he's trying to sneak up...wait, Jeff into the ring now...that boot to the midsection looked a bit low...beautiful Twist of Fate. Matt would be proud...[[JR: I don't know what he's thinking here King?]] I DO! I DO! I DO!!!...that Swanton, while a cool visual no doubt, wasn't the best of ani work. You could see your hands control Jeff during the move, and the Swanton flipped too quickly...now Matt back into the ring...that replay thing is something else, I tell you what...MOST INNOVATIVE WEAPON EVER! He hit him with the table leg!...good question. What the hell is Charlie up to?...man, that is a ton of fricking tables...I don't think this is going to end well for Matt...Holy crap! He suplexed him off the table onto the ladder! YEE-OUCH!...heehee. Cool pose of Matt holding his back in the next pic...well, that was just not very nice of him!...and there's the Jeff version of the Twist of Fate. Pretty cool series for it also...here comes Kurt! He's alive!...why try a submission Kurt? It's a fricking LADDER match, genius!...well, that could be a reason. Kurt holds Jeff down, as Charlie climbs...and climbs...and climbs...and GRABS THE BELTS! Match over...2-1 on my picks (58-30-10 overall) Stars: ***1/2. Some of it came off as rather contrived. But the Jeff Swanton actually made sense, because it's fairly common knowledge he goes for the big move instead of the win (See, SurSeries 2001). So, all in all a pretty good match. Expecting a tad bit more, seeing as you put the Hardyz into their enviroment, and Angle and Haas have had their fair share as well. Also, mixing up the weapon use would've helped as well.
*TAG TEAM CLUSTER
! Let's see here. Team America, L.O.D., La Resistance, Brock and Rico, the Dudleyz...man, Bubba and Animal are laying into each other. Did Bubba steal Animal's place in the buffet line? Because that's the only thing I can see him getting mad about...meanwhile, Kurt and Charlie (sound would say smartly) are getting the hell out of there!...hahahaha! The look Haas and Bubba shared there cracked me up...RUN FORESTS, RUN!...what the sam hell is Torrie wearing?...hahaha! Kurt actually picks Torrie up. That's awesome...[[Angry Wrestlers: GET EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!]] Well, that's quite the generalizing there, now isn't it?...I'd have marked if it turned into another tag team brawl out in the parking lot. That'd have been cool...[[Jim Ross: Now on to the big news, You just saw the promo and that means The Network has just signed PWF on for it's epic 6th season of Television, so the ride continues folks.]] Yay! Now, hopefully they don't take 4 and 1/2 months next time
...
*That is the dumbest scan for a Batista figure I have ever seen! Why in the hell is he smiling?...[[DDP: Why don't you take advantage of her ASSets?]] I personally love Victoria's ASSets!...[[DDP: And Victoria can help you make sure that you come out on top.]] I hear she likes it on top. That is pure speculation, however...and away goes Dave. I sense Page getting involved somehow in that match.
*And speaking of that match, we have a special guest on commentary, Mr. Tuesday Night, Rob Van Dam...nice thumbs-point ani, I think you were the first I saw do that, actually... and Van Dam is apparently going to be returning soon. Woo-hoo! Van Dam mark-out.
TO BE CONTINUED.
