DomDom Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I think Hogan and Rock heard the reactions and just decided to run with it. Hogan could have killed an audience member and got cheered. The face turn for Hogan was always planned. The Rock was never intended to be booed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Oh and speaking of heel/face turns - has there been any instances in WWF where a face has turned heel and the heel turned face in the same match? The only one I can think of is Demolition vs Powers of Pain but my mind is a bit ropey on whether that was an instant turn by both tag teams 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both men were reaching the point already, but Austin was still the heel and Hart was the babyface up to that point and then they did the double turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 On the subject of Hogan and hilarious/awful matches I give you: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=XyN5sAShqOA 1:10 onwards is just ridiculous I was about to say something about his over-selling before I read the video title. Classic though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 As for Michael Cole's heel-ness, I love it. The NXT commentary with Josh Matthews is amazing. Personally, I would get rid of The King, and make the NXT team the RAW one. I hope they do make him a heel all the time. I also hope that Kaval and Daniels form a tag team or alliance and start beating on Cole. Kaval certainly needs to do something, he's been getting abuse for the deep voice on a little man for too long. It's like the only insult they have for him. Doubt they will though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Kaval will join with Nexus I reckon, along with Alex Riley and The Miz. That's my guess anyways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CK Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 The "All internet, all the time" line during RAW was magnificent. They need to pull the trigger on making him a full time heel commentator. Some of his comments regarding Bryan in season 1 were brilliant. "I can guarantee you this is the first time this goof has been anywhere near a keg" "Did he just say he doesn't like soda? He's a weirdo!" "Here he is. Mr Personality" "This guy is an absolute tool" His reactions to R-Truth's entrances the past few weeks, and Alberto del Rio on Monday were good as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the match he had with the Miz when Kutcher was the guest host was pretty funny, something along the lines of: "He's a vegan?!? What even is that? He doesn't eat meat and he's a professional athlete!" He does it pretty well. Never would've thought I'd say that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) I just ordered the WM18 tagged classic. The crowd in that match is awesome. I love the tagged classic series got all the rumbles and manias that are available. Nothing better than watching the old stuff, much prefer it to the current product. I was lucky enough to get the original WWF DVDs of Mania and the Royal Rumble but I have pretty much every other PPV between 1997 and 2002 through the Tagged Classics which are a cracking idea ... they've even released the UK only PPVs like Capital Carnage from 1998.

Latino Lover Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Aye Hogan vs Rock is great match especially due to the crowd. Hogan was meant to be the heel - did they plan to work it so that Hogan would be cheered and Rock booed? When I was watching it I remember thinking that it was superb the crowd reaction Hogan was getting and how it wasn't planned but then when NWO came and kicked Hogans ass at the end it makes me think it was planned all along for Hogan to be cheered and Rock booed I was in attendance albeit in the cheap seats at the very back and I don't think anything was planned with regards to Rocky being booed, it was just a generational thing with the 20+ fans mainly rooting for Hogan and the younger generation on the side of the Rock. Met Cole then and he was the only p***k out of everyone, so it suits him to be a heel defnitely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are great. I used to have most of the rumbles and manias on VHS but replaced them all on dvd now. I must have a huge amount of old videos either silvervison or recorded in the loft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilliePie Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Also ordered the best of raw years 1 and 2, which lasts 11 hours Best of Raw 1 and 2 is a class dvd. I got it in HMV in Edinburgh for 11 quid in 2001 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 That match between Hogan and HBK at Summerslam 05 is hillarious for all the wrong reasons. The way Shawn sold that final Big Boot was a thing of beauty! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 It was actually Sid that messed it up by kicking out of the Leg Drop was it not ? Memory is hazy, but I'm sure it was that which caused the run in DQ ending. I thought that he refused to sell a defeat to the leg drop, so it was decided Papa Shango was supposed to interfere and break the count leading directly to the DQ and beatdown. When it was obvious that he'd made an arse of though and he wasn't going to make it to the ring in time, Sid just kicked out anyway. At least that's what I thought. Anyway I'm sure the whole scenario was the reason Sid left first time around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 ICW tonight in Maryhill and the card is an absolute cracker. ICW Championship BT Gunn © vs. ??? Zero G Qualifier Falcon vs. El Ligero ( whoa ! ) Zero G Qualifier Liam Thomson vs. Andy Wild William Grange vs. Johnny Moss Chris Renfrew vs. Lionheart Adam Shame vs. Steven Xavier Kid Fite vs. Anthony Christie Jack Jester, Rob Cage and Noam Dar are also set for the show. Red Lightning is out for the forseeable future, so the ICW Title situation is thrown into further turmoil. I'm hoping for Noam Dar vs. BT Gunn myself as Noam and Booty had a belter of a match in East Kilbride. Ligero vs. Falcon is bound to be the showstealer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
