I wish I could have seen Starcade 97 live. The only chance we had of catching WCW was on a friday night when Cartoon Network used to switch to TNT at 9PM so it meant flicking between Raw and Nitro constantly (both broadcasted on a Friday night in the UK). I cant remember seeing a single WCW PPV when I was a kid. I loved the turn of Sting though. The emotionless angle he had, never spoke. It just seemed bad ass at the time. That theme tune as well, everytime I think of Sting I hear it in my head.
Naw dude. I’ve been watching wrestling since before I can even remember. My dad would always let me choose each month which PPV I wanted to order, WWF or WCW.
But, with that being said, I just didn’t know anything/didn’t care about the indies or older feds like WCCW till I started coming here and realized how much I didn’t know about wrestling.There was tons of other stuff I didn’t know about either, like wrestling lingo just to name one. It was a huge eye opener.
And if anything about my “know it all” attitude now which I don’t really think I have. I would think it’s more of a compliment to the people in this thread if anything because it’s your guys’ influences, videos, rants and everything else that made me get that much more into wrestling every day. But if it comes off as an ass holeish type thing, that isn’t my intention and apologize.
There is still a lot I don’t know about wrestling and a lot I will probably never will know. But it’s cool.
Also, I was a huge mark for Surfer Sting when I was kid. But I was actually pretty upset when they did that story line with Sting because I missed the old sting, so I stopped liking him and haven’t liked him since. Mainly cause he hasn’t done anything worth liking.
Oh yeah, lastly, I don’t see how my join date has to do with anything. But for clarification, last year my friend bought me a year of premium for Xmas and MrWizard said if you had over 7months of premium in December you could get a date change, so I figured why not?
i remember when i was like 7 i marked badly like jumping up and down when sting ripped through the ring mat and came out of it that was so awesome. things like that made me love sting like just being on top in the rafters and shit " whoooooooooooo!" call crap, i think Roddy piper dressed as sting and they beat him up and then the real sting was there the whole time. and the girls omg the little girls " THIS IS STING!" :sad: i miss being 7 or 8 and just marking out for that shit and not questioning why. growing up to surfer sting must have been real awesome since he was so like hogan and warrior but so much cooler.:looney: well maybe not the times when luger turned on him everyweek lol.
i had to deal with the ecw game instead of no mercy/ and wcw nwo revenge, god that game was so fucking horrible thanks god for getting no mercy right near the end of the n64
I bought No Mercy for 2 recently just so I could have it again. I love the game. It has everything! I remember spending so much time on it when I was a kid. I must have had one of the initial copy’s of it when it was released though as I can distinctly remember there being blood in it. Doing some reading up it seems that the first PAL batch had a problem with saved data and it was re-released fixed but without blood. Being able to do any move on a weapon without it magically moving away … fucking great. Having a shit load of moves, unlockables and a great in-depth CAW … even better! The way that Championship mode could take several different paths as well, it had a ton of replay value.
It’s all good Stu. We know you still gots that hate and that’s what matters. :tup:
EDIT: Props for the wrestling rep. :tup:
-Starhammer-
yea man, when i first started messing with the caw, story mode and all that stuff i was blown away customization was godlike. and compared to that horrible horrible ecw game i was blown away. that is until the game messed up and all the memory was deleted, i dont think i ever touched it again lol i just remembered i made big boss man the womans champ in the story mode lol so fucking dumb
Booyakah booyakah, 305!
It was nice to see Ziggy do that to Rey yesterday, but he needs a new finisher bad. I mean… wtf IS that?
In a related story, I re-dled PJ64 to play No Mercy again, figuring I would have to get it again and start from scratch with my CAWs and everything cuz I lost everything in ‘My Documents’ to a System Recover.
After I install it, a list of all the games I had before comes up on the main screen. I’m thinking, ‘That’s weird’ but I click on No Mercy and it starts and all my CAWs are still there. I check the filepath and it says its in the N64 folder in My Documents though, which doesn’t exist anymore. : O
So basically, I think my PC is haunted.
If they did the Smackdown Six 2.0 today, would be in it?
From the current roster…
Edge/Mysterio/Ziggler/Jericho/Morrison/Punk would be my guess, although at the time the original Smackdown Six didn’t have any championships, so putting them together in a bunch of fantastic matches was probably the best decision they could do.
Should’ve known this WM25 TV edition was going to be nothing but highlights with shitty music. Fuck this.
I told ya’ll niggas it was just gonna be some music video shit. Don’t delete your HBK/UT downloads yet.
First comment from Rey since his suspension.
Just read that Roxxi is back in TNA.
Knockout Division is one Gail Kim away from being straight up broken. It’s already soft banned…
Has anyone ever met a human being that DIDN’T love the Aki wrestling series on N64? Seriously, every one I’ve ever spoken to about No Mercy, Wrestlemania, or Revenge loved them.
The best part was when my friend used to buy random Japanese wrestling tapes off eBay, and we’ve recognize a move from CAW mode. Holy crap, that was the “Hangman’s DDT”!!! (R.I.P. Misawa, you da man for taking that bump) The game was so authentic, and most people who played it probaby didn’t even know it.
Who’s bright idea was it to change the engine? Why haven’t they changed back yet?
you forgot WCW/NWO World Tour
I remember playing the shit out of WM2000 and No Mercy so much, that I would watch WWE and be like “Suplex 3” “DDT 2” :razz:
–
There really should be a picture of Kurt Angle putting Hitler in an Ankle Lock. That shit would blow my mind like David in 2001.
Go to C drive, documents and settings, find your old folder, and enjoy the files that you lost.
I got WCW vs NWO revenge for my birthday one year, it was one of the only n64 games anyone needed to have fun. I’m pretty sure me and a friend stayed up late one night vandalizing name of WCW wrestlers I didn’t like very much.
When I finally got Revenge off this bloke on ebay I turned it on and he had renamed Giant as Poo. I seriously hope he hadnt played that since he was a kid or the man has problems.
Ahh, im not so keen on that. I had WCW vs The World on PS1 at the time of its release and I always preferred it. It had a great mixed roster.
I really hate to say it, but TNA is doing a good job booking wise…when it comes to the knock outs. I mean, it’s thanks to Scott D’Amore taking over booking for that part of TNA. But still, they are doing a much, much better job. Good mix of heels/faces and even with the retarded ass TNA crowd they can tell which is which. They’re hiring a lot of really good women wrestlers like, Sarita, Humada, Daffney, re-hiring roxxi to name a few.
The tag tournament has been all relatively clean wins, no run ins, none of the typical TNA stuff. I’m really digging it.
If they keep doing what they doing I’ll be really excited for the new Knockouts show. Plus the tournament is hinting at potential feuds in the future (Kong/Brooks or Kong/Saeed)
The only thing I would change is having ODB drop the title to Victoria while Victoria turning heel in the process since she is the most established and recognizable Knockout in the roster it would be good to give her the title at the start and she could have a good lengthy feud with one of the new comers like Sarita, Humada, or another worth while knock out so they can establish the top Heels/Faces of the show early. They can take progress from there instead of trying to play catch up and have clusterfuck story lines. It would also help passing the torch in a sense. Even though she [victoria] would get back the belt eventually.
But, with this being said, it’s really sad when the womens division is more appealing than the WHC division.
The WHC division is going no where fast. And the people who should be in it aren’t really doing much of anything, AJ is a prime example of this. Even though they are turning him babyface again by him teaming/being mentored by sting I’d rather him wrestle and do flips than give some emo promo with sting.
I hope they follow in the Knockouts footsteps with the X-Division show and do the same styles of tournaments and let the X-Division really shine. Just as long as they get rid of the fucking Steel Asylum. That match is fucking dumb.
So far they are doing a good job with the X-Division though.
They gave the strap back to joe to make it more legit. Very good move considering it was on fucking Kazicide for forever and a day till TNA finally realized no one likes Kazicide. Although they should have lengthened the feud with Homicide/Joe for atleast a month or 2 before finally giving the strap to Joe. I think Homicide had the belt for what? 2-3 weeks? Weak ass shit.
But they need to keep pushing the Knockouts and X-Division titles and stars if they plan on making the respected shows worth a fuck watching. No one wants to see Angle and friends every week + Matt Morgan.
I will say this however about the shitty WHC picture, I am glad they are slowly pushing Kurt out of the title picture and pushing the “younger” talent like Morgan (who dixie is a big fan of) and Hernandez. They need to put AJ back in that picture as well and Eric Young since he is the leader of the top heel stable in TNA. I say top because even though the Mafia are supposed to be heels TNA fans are retarded and treat them like baby faces while World Elite actually gets heat (hey, rhyme)
Lastly, Taz/Tenay on commentary made TNA bearable and watchable. Mike Tenay actually gets to talk instead of having to shout over fucking Don West. Plus, Mike Tenay and Taz both have really good knowledge on all kinds of wrestling and very good chemistry. I was listening to them during some of the knockout matches bouncing info off one another and it reminded me a lot of WCW Tenay where he actually did commentating and was legit. And even though Taz is supposed to be the color commentator he does a good job putting people over, even if they are feuding with the mafia. It’s a very welcomed change. Keep Don West off TNA forever, please.
That’s about it for my opinions on TNA. Dixie is doing the right thing keeping Jarrett as far away from the show/creative input as possible and only using him as a company face and marketing. Keep it up, Dixie, you’re finally taking TNA in the right direction. Even though I still think your a dumb bitch for not wanting to hire Gabe Sapolski or Paul Heyman
WCW/nWo Revenge was awesome.
Jericho and Scott Steiner were broken though as you could not break their submission moves.
Made winning the Tag Belts piss easy.
They shouldn’t have removed the invincibility from Special Grabs either.
AKI-Man was God Tier in that game.
Were you here for my Kurt Angle taking on the zombie av? I can dig that one up for you if ya want.
