Part 2 of the PWF review...and we start it with the US Extreme title match!
*Batista vs. Chris Jericho (©)-Prediction: Well, seeing as the interaction occured between Batista and Page eariler, I see DDP costing Dave this, so Jericho...and again, I'd like to point out, that the scan on that Dave figure is ridiculous. You ever see Dave grin like that? Especially before a match?...I think I actually reviewed that Dreamer-Batista match...love your Jericho entrance video. It's cool...[[Jim Ross: You 2 were part of that Tightrope match which was voted the #1 PWF match of all time.]] Wasn't that the PWF take on "Ultimate X"?...I'd love to know how you got a figure of Jericho's size to slide through Batista's legs there...and a big dropkick by Jericho sends Batista to the floor...very cool ani for the Jericho baseball slide. Batista's OUT!...and Jericho busts out the weaponry. Chair shot to the back of the "Animal"...hahaha, Jericho would the one-foot pose already. That's funny...now, I figured she'd factor into the finish. I didn't expect her out here this quickly however...meanwhile, she's completely distracted Jericho...who then turns to get DRILLED by a Batista clothesline!...and then Batista lifts Jericho, and takes him back first into the ring post!...and now Jericho's holding his back. It's the little things like that, selling the moves, that I enjoy...I don't see Jericho being able to move tomorrow!...and for the third time, the Batista clothesline misses...and Jericho sends him into the steps with a drop toe hold. Wrestling wise, it's Jericho. He just has to avoid the power of Batista...yes, I did review that match. I specifically remember reviewing Turmoil...[[Rob Van Dam: Dreamer was a little off his rocker to begin with if you know what I mean.]] Well, if that isn't the potsmoker calling the kettle black!...and then Jericho gives him the one, two hiya with the weapons...man, that was one totally butchered picture...I think Victoria's doing more to distract Batista then she is to help him at this point in the match...why does Jericho insist on having this match outside the ring? He's not a brawler. He's a technican...double leg takedown by Y2J...into the WALLS OF JERICHO ON THE FLOOR!...He got bitchslapped (clap, clap, clapclapclap) He got bitchslapped (clap, clap, clapclapclap) He got bitchslapped (clap, clap, clapclapclap)...[[CROWD: GET THAT B@TCH!!!!!!! GET THAT B@TCH!!!!!!! GET THAT B@TCH!!!!!!!!]] GREATEST CROWD CHANT EVER!...oh, and Dave knocks his block off with a boot...see, Chris. Should've kept it in the ring, doc...oh, well that is just not very nice of him. Very good series for it, but still not very nice...very cool ani for the flying almost Cactus like elbow by Batista. Very nice use of the trash can as well there...man, as a power contest, it's been no contest. Jericho has gotten little in the way of offence...and now Victoria's getting a table...and Jericho goes deep with the singapore cane to the head of Batista...that looks like the set-up for the "White Russian"...I just noticed the referee is Bradshaw. That's funny...and that's Jericho killing Batista dead. Flying 'rana off the ropes, through the table on the floor!...be cool the show the replays from different angle, but that would be quite a bit more work, so it's understandable why you don't...OH MY GAWD! He just killed Victoria!...I think King may be right. I don't think anyone's ever bleed from the back of the head in PWF before...that spinebuster ani was not good...now that rope shake thing I found assuming...and Victoria drills Batista one, right in the little Dave's...hahaha, it does look like she's bitching him out. Pretty cool effect, actually...I think she's about to pay for it...and there's DDP. You knew he'd play a part...and sure enough, DIAMOND CUTTER TO BATISTA!...Jericho, never one to pass up an opportunity, hits the Lionsault! One, two, three!...3-1 on my picks (59-30-10 overall) Stars: ***. Can't go any higher, because of the huge amounts of interference. Very well booked, but the booking of it hurt the star rating.
*Looks like DDP may have himself some help!...it's the former "Son of Fate" Randy Orton!...and Jericho catches the RKO!...well, as King said, Orton's been looking to find a place since he broke up the Sons of Fate, so I guess a US title feud with Jericho's a pretty good choice...ut-oh. I don't think Batista is a fan of what happened...[[Rob Van Dam: Batista looks pissed!!!
Jim Ross: That he does.]] No, he doesn't. He's still smiling. He's bleeding, but he's still smiling...and now we go backstage.
*Where the "Coach" has the PWF Heavyweight champion, Shawn Michaels...very cool belt for Shawn to have...[[HBK: Austin gave everyone of us The Stone Cold Stunner except Booker T, so I'm just wondering if he's got his own adjenda if you know what I mean.]] That was Austin being Austin. Don't read too much into it...hahaha, nice little speech by Austin. Captured him perfectly...and that's that
*Nice touch, but a bit WWE-ish, with the outside of the arena shot. Just saying. Try to keep the known WWE stuff to a minimum.
*Union of the Snake vs. Blade Runners-Prediction: Warrior and Sting...[[The King: I think you're right, maybe he should lace up the old boots and put on some tights? Jim Ross: I highly doubt it King, that wouldn't be a pretty picture.]] I wouldn't want to see that picture!...[[The King: now that's a face that only a mother could love.]] Think that his mother really loves that face?...and there's PWF's answer to the o.W.n., as Warrior rushes the ring, rather stupidly, might I add. Then again, most of what he does is rather stupidly, so it's a wash, really...why does every match open with a missed clothesline? That's like 4 of the 5 matches already!...who do you think weighs more? Kane or Warrior's ego? I'd say it's pretty close...smart move by Roberts actually. Derail the momentum anyway you can...and another clothesline. Are there no other moves?...[[The King: Of all people you should never turn your back on, Kane has to be at the TOP of the list.]] Well, I'd have Roberts at the top. But Kane would be a close number two!...and a BIG elbow drop by the "Big Red Machine"...very cool pose for the uppercut. Looks like it was taken right after the move connected, which is a nice touch...somehow, I doubt Warrior will stay alone for the full match...hahaha! Earl looks exsaperated...man, Kane is dominating Warrior. Then again, HHH did that back at a WrestleMania, and look what that got him!...and Roberts LEVELS Warrior with that chair. That chairshot ani was very cool...[[The King: If The Warrior didn't have much brains before I hate to think how scrambled he's gonna be after that]] BWAHAHAHAHA! So true, and yet still so funny...well, he is Jake "The SNAKE" Roberts...gee, wonder who that could be...sure enough, IT'S SHOWTIME! (with METALLICA music! Nice touch)...and knee brace. Nice touch there as well...didn't look like a backbreaker to me, doc...what kind of cover was that Jake? I mean, really. Hook a leg...hahaha! Classic Roberts. Viva el rope-use!...hahaha! The double clothesline ani made me chuckle. It's just classic Warrior...and in comes Sting, arguably the only sane one in the match...man, Roberts is catching a butt-kicking. Tag Kane back in, genius!...crowd could count that. Just a thought...hey, is he allowed in there? Hey ref?...and a very cool counter ani into the Scorpion Death Drop for Kane!...hey Warrior! Get him!...and Roberts with the chopblock...then sends Kane back to their corner...now Roberts focusing on the knee. Injure a body part and work it. Perfect sense...[[The King: I hit to say it but The Bladerunner's reunion has been quite a rocky one.]] Safe thought. I "hate" to say it also. Check your grammar NrrrrG. I tell the new guys, and I'll tell you...well, Kane hit him with a pipe in the back. What do you expect?...and down goes Warrior and Zebra!...rut-roh! Roberts going for the bag!...and the arena goes BLUE? Eh?...it's the former D.I.C.! Now back to old-school Undertaker. Figures he'd be against Roberts. Wasn't Roberts his mentor back when he first came out? I know it (storyline-wise) was DiBiase that brought him in, but I think Roberts was his mentor for awhile...heehee! He brought up the lights. Nice touch...Roberts' snake bit him? What episode was that? Man, I've gotten behind...now, where the hell did he find an urn on such short notice. Also, sorta gives away the fact that 'Taker was scripted to come out. Unless Roberts made the urn appear out of nowhere...[[Jim Ross: I don't get it King]] Me either...alright, that was ridiculous. Cool effect? Yes. But completely ridiculous. Then again, seeing some of the crap the WWE has done with Undertaker's gimmick, why the hell not?...and 'Taker with a huge boot to the face of Roberts...that was one BIG-ASS TOMBSTONE there!...Sting with the cover...count it (1), count it (2), count it (3), and raise their hands!...4-1 on my picks (60-30-10 overall) Stars: **. And that's probably being a bit generous. But seeing as the Roberts-Undertaker storyline finally played out, I guess it's worth it. Still, the kooky special effects weren't needed. Cool visual, but not needed. Just have Sting knock the urn out of Roberts' hands. Match served it's purpose, so I guess it's a success in that regard.
*Well, if that isn't a whose who of PWF nobodies!...well, head of authority Holly excluded...hahaha! Nice ani of the limo rolling up...well, nice to see Holly's a Bonds fan...very cool robes for MNM. Terrycloth, I think. From a Barbie set, I assume. One wonders why Melina isn't wearing one however...Holly just owned Melina! I see an MNM-Holly feud coming up. Perhaps bring Crash in, or perhaps use Regal...I don't think MNM were with GXW. And why Holly wouldn't want that FOX of a female in the fed is beyond me. Perhaps the rumors are true...
*Huh? I didn't understand a damn word Dusty just said. Therefore, that was perfect Dusty. Poor Trish. She gets the worst interview subjects...
*Pretty cool set right there, and why is Benoit in Goldberg's locker room? Also, could you have picked a worse head for that Benoit? It's hideous!
*Mick Foley vs. Triple H-Prediction: Foley. HHH has more or less dominated the build-up...damn you. You made Dude's theme song pop into my head. And that isn't going to go away!...[[The King: What an idiot..........he's got so many identities I think he's forgotten just who he really is.]] There may actually be a bit of truth to that statement...and here comes the "Game"...and Trips from behind with the chairshot...Trips going to town on Foley with that chair...Foley's getting his butt kicked early...well, how nice of him to verbalize his feelings...[[Mick Foley: F@CK OFF!!!!!!!!!]] Don't see Foley actually saying that. The only time I can recall Foley saying that is at a ROH show, telling Punk he looked "
ing ridiculous" in a suit...and Trips with a microphone fist drop. At least that's what it looked like...[[The King: Or as Ric Flair put it, glorified stuntman]] Oh, get off Flair's nuts, Lawler...um, they aren't any rules to begin with JR...something I've noticed, that you may want to work on. Almost every swing of momentum on the evening has been as the result of a missed clothesline. Just something I figured I'd point out...pretty cool series of poses for the Cactus clothesline there...well, that was LOW!...[[The King: That'll have you singing like Bjork after one of those]] BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!...why didn't he use the briefcase? It was right there!...oh, well that just sucks to be him, doesn't it?...BARBED WIRED 2x4! (pretty cool looking one at that...I didn't catch the contact there, but if you say so...oh, he messed up H's cool shirt! Get him, Hunter!...pretty cool blood on the midsection pose...looks like he's bleeding from the shoulder as well...[[Jim Ross: Do you see that King? Foley's choking The Game with his own shirt]] So, using the 2x4 was fine, but the shirt was out of hand? Eesh...hahahaha! They're fighting in the stands. That's awesome...he IS bleeding from the shoulder...[[The King: Ewwwww, give it back to him........kids let that be a lesson, don't do drugs.........man that guy's ugly.........]] Cruel. Funny, but cruel. Looks like the old pre-Real Scan TTL Edge scan to me. I may actually have that figure. (Or had it at one point, I'm sure)...heehee, the camera lost them, so it went to JR and King. Awesome...and there's HHH backstage...and there's Foley nailing the crap out of him. You use the clothesline way too much...hahaha! That is how you use a gag. Stan the CAMERA MAN!...hahaha! Trips stole Stan's camera!...and blasts Foley with it. That's his camera ruined...it does appear he's busted open...and into the vending machine goes Foley. Wonder if the wrestlers have to pay for the stuff they destroy (and/or knock over) during the course of a match...and then the ladder (well, you had to figure IT was going to be used) into the face and chest of Foley...oooh, that had to suck...[[The King: I always heard it was bad luck to be underneath a ladder...........guess it's true]] That's King being used at his wisecracking best right there. Very cool line...ok, lazy Harry mode off...and back towards the ringside area, we see Trips throw Foley to the floor. Not that big of a drop, though...HAHAHA! He through he through the staging! Awesome!...and a swing and miss by Trips...Socko? What, is every "Face of Foley" coming together to deliever a beatdown?...and Trips ends up on the announcer table...good question. What is Foley doing?...HOLY SHIT! Flying splash with Sledgy!...and Foley's up! Foley wins! Foley wins!...5-1 on my picks (61-30-10 overall) Stars: ***1/2. Very good brawl, but missing something. Not sure what that is yet, but if I figure it out, you'll know. I've seen better in real life between these two, so that affects the grade as well.
*And now we see Trish with ANGRY FACE DAVE! Awesome head switch to sell the angle. Very cool effect...I think that means DDP's about to die. Or something to that effect...
*Well, I guess that's one way to put over a new sponsor. And pretty funny actually...man, Cena is surrounded by hot chicks tonight. Trish and Dawn eariler, and now Stacy as well...and enter Carlito...[[Cena: Car-Li-Fro? I'm serious, if I had hair like that I wouldn't know whether to brush it or scrub my toilet with it.]] BWAHAHAHAHA! Owned...HAHAHAHA! Justin Guarini. Very few will get the reference, but it's hilarious...Cena and CarliFRO as a tag team? Anything's possible, I guess...
*Very cool set between Booker and Steiner. If I could intervene, seeing Booker stare at his hand as he walks off would've been awesome.
*Looks like it's time for the next match...
*Bret Hart vs. Goldberg-Prediction: As much as I hate to do it, Goldberg. Hart has dominated the build to this match...very cool entrance for Goldberg. That was always the one thing I liked about him...and Hart immediately on the attack...nice ani for the Hart headbutt...hahaha, yeah I'm with King. Take Hart's megaphone!...very nice reversal sequence...nice-air cross armbreaker? Six Second Magic, I believe...and now to the more common grounded variation...more of a reverse t-bone suplex then a fallaway slam there, but impressive nontheless...I'm not sure Bret would allow those kicks, but w/e...looks like Goldberg may be focusing on the chest, which makes sense. Seeing as that's where the spear lands...[[Jimmy Hart: HEY GOLDBERG...YOUR HEAD LOOKS LIKE A PEANUT!!!!!!!]] Ladies and gentleman, I present Jimmy Hart, trying to get killed...looked like Bret's shoulders were down on the German as well, but there was a kickout, so it's no matter...very cool hiptoss...and I think that is why Benoit was there. He was discussing counters with Goldberg, against the technically superior "Hitman"...and a huge short-arm CL that connects solidly...I stand corrected. Now Jimmy Hart's gonna die...Bret grabs the megaphone...considers it...and drills Goldberg!...Cover gets TWOOOOOOOO!...do appreciate the fact that you show the kickouts...big Russian leg sweep...nice overhead angle...WHAT THE HELL? What a counter! By Goldberg of all people...and BRET TAPS? THE
?...6-1 on my picks (62-30-10 overall) Stars: ***. A lot better then I thought it would be for sure. But that ending disturbs me. I understand that Benoit was helping Goldberg out, and I do realize that a submission win is far more satisfying, but if ever a decision should've been pinfall, this was it.
*Heh, pretty cool segment there. OMG looks pretty cool with the jacket, and Debra's informing of the GXW arrival was pretty cool as well. Retro rumble is next, and it will begin part 3 of this reply. Long ass shows...
