DomDom Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Day 2. The Ladder Match After a couple of dodgy ones they head into proper amazing territory. Every TLC match at the time of print as well. Three discs of awesome. The Rise and Fall of WCW is up there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Day 3. Underrated Wrestler - Golddust. OK I know people him and the character and he's rated highly on here. But he could have been given so much better in his various WWF/WWE runs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Day 3. Underrated Wrestler - Golddust. OK I know people him and the character and he's rated highly on here. But he could have been given so much better in his various WWF/WWE runs. Agreed. Would have been worth a run with the WWE title back in 96/97 just before the Attitude era. He had a bit of a push on telly just before his current injury put him on the shelf ... had high hopes of him getting a spot on the Wrestlemania card as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginge123 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Oops, looks like I missed a day. I liked Beyond the Mat and Rise and Fall of ECW they were pretty good. Got to agree about Gold Dust as well. He was immense when he was with Booker T as well. Just because: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGJyvKV8tqs Edited March 20, 2011 by ginge123 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 From 1996-1997, Goldust was at the peak of how far he was ever going to get. His gimmick just didn't suit the big title. The same reason as Doink never won the big prize as well. He was given as big a push as humanly possible without being in the main events. I think he actually done brilliantly well considering the gimmick he had. I'm going to go for Billy Gunn. Shat on by many and for no good reason. Like Bob Holly actually, a tag team specialist. The Smoking Gunns were brilliant back in the day and who didn't love The New Age Outlaws? He had something holding him back from the bigger picture in WWE which is a shame. He clearly had ALL of the tools. Had all sorts of decent singles matches with all sorts of opponents as well. I've never got the hate this guy gets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE did give him a half decent singles push ... he won the King of the Ring when it still meant something but it just didn't work out for him as a singles competitor. Terrific tag team wrestler, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just seemed to be one of these guys who people just didn't care that much about as a singles wrestler for some reason. No idea why, I thought he was really good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Day 3. Underrated Wrestler In wrestling just now, I'd go for either Eric Young or Brian Kendrick, although both of those could be put down to poor booking from TNA. When Kendrick and Paul London were teaming, they were fucking immense. Quite a lot of X-Division wrestlers actually, Homicide, Amazing Red and Petey Williams are all pretty good, but I can kinda see why they aren't used above X-division status. I also find it difficult to name ones from the past because at one time they might've been rated. I always loved Ken Shamrock, Steve Blackman and Al Snow(head cheese was hilarious). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Homicide is fucking rancid these days. Used to be amazing and has become absolutely useless. Needs to be hidden with garbage brawls and five minute matches, such is the level that he clearly doesn't care anymore. Never liked The Amazing Red. Sure, his moves look cool, but that's about it. STEVE BLACKMAN~~~!!! Al Snow is a good shout. He's always been kinda appreciated, but never been roundly praised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Im a couple of days behind but here goes. 1. First Wrestling Game Would have been Warzone. Looking back it was pretty basic. Good fun at the time though. 2. Favourite DVD The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection. Watched the whole thing in a day. Outstanding. 3. Most Underatted Wrestler Il go for Jerry Lynn. Had several great bouts but never made it big. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Day 4. Under-rated match. So you look at the Royal Rumble 1991 card and have a look through the matches! "The Rockers vs. The Orient Express? I've heard about that! The Big Bossman vs. The Barbarian? Ugh." Well yeah, I bet we've all thought that, or at least those of us who looked at the card and then watched the show. Had the opening tag match not taken the place, The Barbarian vs. The Big Bossman would have stolen the show as it was a cracking power match which had me on the edge of my seat when I watched it for the first time not so long ago. Definately not given nearly enough praise, probably because of the guys involved.

RussellV1 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 bit of catching up to do Day 2 - Favourite DVD - the WCCW & AWA DVD's are very good but I'd go with the Bret Hart 3 Disc DVD. Day 3 Underrated Wrestler - I was always a big Sean Waltman fan, even towards the end of his WWE run when I was probably the only one. Day 4 Underrated Match - not sure if this will count as underrated as it was on a UK only PPV so it wouldn't have been seen by too many people to begin with but I'd go with Stone Cold v The Rock for the WWF Title at Rebellion '01. the best match between the 2 IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Underrated match - Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho, WM 19 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'd agree that Rock and Austin from Rebellion was a VERY good match and definately under-rated and even completely looked over. I can't agree that it's the best they've done though. Wrestlemania X-7 outing between them was my top Wrestlemania match of all time before HBK and Taker went and beat it twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Day 2 Favourite DVD - Best Of Raw (that 15 year anniversary one) Day 3 Underrated Wrestler - DDP. Loved this guy and thought he was ace. The pop when he took off the mask to reveal himself as Taker's wife's stalker was massive. Day 4 Underrated Match - Hmm. Can't think of one just now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big River Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Catching up to do this as it seems pretty fun: 1, First Wrestling Game - WWF Warzone. Loved it at the time but in all seriousness it was a bit shite. 2. Favourite DVD - Rise and Fall of WCW 3. Under-rated Wrestler - Dean Malenko. Not as an all round "Superstar" in any way but his in-ring ability was phenomenal, one of my favourite wrestlers to watch. 4. Underrated match - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
