The Naitch Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I watched Summerslam 97 last night. A brilliant event. Not a bad match on the card, all the macthes had a reason for happening, storylines were advanced and the crowd was up for it. This is exactly what PPVs should be. How could they get it so right then but get it so, so wrong these days? The only reason it's not an exceptional PPV is that, whilst all the matches are good (and two are very good, those being the IC title and the WWF title macthes), none are exceptional. A small moan. The finish to the Stone Cold/Owen Hart match was pish as well, but that's because Stone Cold was nearly paralyzed, so that's understandable to say the least. Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty good reason. I'm going to start watching a few Rumble matches over the next couple of weeks to get me in the mood for the PPV. Think I'll start with the 1998 Rumble as that has the added bonus of Taker/HBK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the end to that was hilarious (apart from the near parlysis), Owen's face is just 'OH SHIT' then he gets up, sneers and starts giving it the 'NOW HE'S GONNA KISS MY ASS' to the crowd. I'm pretty sure he did the same move to flash funk the next night/week! Talk about deadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Good article, it's great that wwe acknowledges a company like ROH and where many of it's current stars have come from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamdunk Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 My favourite Viscera moment was in a hardcore match think between the acolytes and mideon & Vis, Bradshaw had Mideon between his legs about to powerbomb him through a table or something, and Vis was supposed to run in and break it up, but he fell a dull yin as he rushed towards bradshaw and took ages to get up and break it up. comedy gold. RIP big man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Gutted to hear about Big Vis. Most of his stuff was lower card filler, but it was all good fun. His run as Big Daddy V was far more entertaining that it had any right to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Sad news about Viscera - I didn't realise he was as young as that. Must have been early/mid-twenties when he won KOTR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Was it 95 he won KOTR? That would make him 19. That can't be right....can it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Was it 95 he won KOTR? That would make him 19. That can't be right....can it?He was 43 when he died so if it was 95 that he won it he would have been 24 presumably 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
