Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

SlyGuy21 1st Match: Al Snow vs 2 Cold Scorpio. Both these guys are under different personas, but I'm using these names because that's what I'm more familiar with. A pretty good match to start, I wasn't expecting much from these guys, but they both do a good job. Good spots, there's a pretty sloppy botch at the start, but other than that, this is a solid opener. Rating: 3.5/52nd Match: Owen Hart and The British Bulldog vs "Diesel" and "Razor Ramon", WWF Tag Team Championships. An OK match, Fake Diesel and Razor do OK, and Owen and Bulldog just kind of exist. The match does get a little interesting when Austin comes down and Bulldog jumps him, but other than that this is just standard fare. I guess the match was just here to further Austin's feud with the Harts. Rating: 3/53rd Match: Marc Mero vs HHH, WWF Intercontinental Championship. Another stellar match between these two, typical spots, but both guys do a good job. The biggest problem the match has is that it ends in a countout, maybe they'll have future matches, but the ending puts a sour note on a good match. Rating: 3/54th Match: The Undertaker vs The Executioner, Mexican Death match. Basically you have to pin your opponent and then they have to stay down for a 10 count. Executioner has been a thorn in Taker's side for a few months now, so it makes sense these two would have a match, the problem is that it's just a brawl with no substance. Foley comes down and tries to stop Taker, but he gets thrown through the set twice. It kind of felt like this was made just so Foley could have the night off. It's OK for a brawl, but not much else. Rating: 3/55th Match: Sid Vicious vs Bret Hart, WWF Championship. This was the start of Bret going full heel, the whole match has hints that he's slipping to the dark side. Sid's alright, but his style doesn't work with Bret's all that well. Even for 17 minutes, the match doesn't drag on though, so it's watchable. The big story at the end is that Bret's in the middle of Shawn and Sid's feud, so it'll be interesting to see how Bret does for his final year in the WWF. Rating: 3/5Fina Rating: 6 out of 10. Not a very strong end to the year for Vince and company, but entertaining enough I suppose. WWF certainly had a better year than 1995 though, and that's a plus in my book.

callanvass Live from West Palm Beach, FLAttendance: 5,708Your commentators are Vince McMahon, Jerry Lawler & Jim RossFlash Funk Vs Leif CassidyLeif Cassidy is Al Snow. Funk wins with a 450 splash from the top. This was a fun opener. Neither guy had nothing to lose at this juncture, and both went out and put on a show. It's full of great high-flying manuevers and solid wrestling.***Tag Team ChampionshipOwen Hart & The British Bulldog (C) (W/Clarence Mason) Vs Razor Ramon & DieselOwen and The Bulldog retain. During and after the match, Stone Cold plays mind games with The British Bulldog. He even attacks him at one point with a chopblock. This was an average match. Despite how hard JR tried to put them over, the "fake" Razor and Diesel storyline was flopping miserably. Vince always has to take shots at his competition. **Up next is an interview with Ahmed Johnson. I'll try to translate this since it's hard to understand what he's saying at times. Ahmed says he's lost everything due to the kidney injury Farooq gave him. He says all he has left is the fans. Vince says Farooq almost cost him his life. Ahmed says his life was over a long time ago, and all he lives for is the fans. Farooq appears up in the balcony. Farooq says he's gonna end Ahmed Johnson's comeback at the Royal Rumble. Ahmed says Farooq's going down and starts a "You're going down" chant.Thoughts: The feud between Ahmed and Farooq was intense, if nothing else. I thought this segment was OK.Intercontinental ChampionshipHunter Hearst Helmsley (C) Vs Marc Mero (W/Sable)Goldust comes out and nails both Helmsley and Mero with the Intercontinental title on the outside behind the ref's back. Mero makes it into the ring first and wins by countout. Goldust attacks Hunter after the match. This was a really good match ruined by a crappy finish. I was initially not looking forward to this match, but they surprised me. ***1/4Armageddon RulesThe Undertaker Vs The Executioner (W/Paul Bearer)The rules are as followed1. No disqualification2. No countout3. After a pinfall or a submission, the defeated wrestler has a 10 count to get up. The match ends when one match can't continue. The Undertaker wins with a tombstone. This turned into a handicapped match until Mankind was put in a straight jacket. The Undertaker and The Executioner destroyed the In Your House set and fought all over the building. As good as it may sound, it's not. Trust me, it's pretty damn boring. The Executioner was barely treated like a threat.*WWF ChampionshipSycho Sid (C) Vs Bret HartShawn Michaels joins for commentary. I have a lot to report here. Stone Cold attacks Bret Hart at one point during the match. Bret accidentally nails Shawn Michaels off the apron. Sid takes advantage and delivers a powerbomb on Bret to retain the title. Bret Hart takes his anger out on Michaels after the match. As exciting as all of that was, the match itself was a mediocre main event. As I've stated before, I love Sid, but he's not exactly a great wrestler. Bret spent most of it dissecting Sid by working over the leg. They just didn't mesh well.*3/4This PPV was hit and miss overall. Things were really beginning to heat up. Bret was showing off a very bitter attitude. Shawn was turning into the self-righteous douche. The Attitude Era was forming right before our very eyes. 5.5/10

amanwhorocks 1. Rocky Maivia Vs. Salvatore Sincere - Dq ending in a normal match 6/10 2. Leif Cassidy Vs. Flash Funk - FF with boringly long dance before match... Move list was decent but I really don't get into FF's gimmick. 6.5/10 3. WWF Tag Team Title Match: Diesel/Razor Ramon Vs. Champs-Owen Hart/British Bulldog - At least the very end of the match was well coordinated. 6.5/10 4. WWF Intercontinental Title Match: Wildman Marc Mero Vs. Champ-Hunter Hearst Helmsley - Mero won by Count out in an decent match. 6.5/10 5. The Executioner Vs. The Undertaker - Nothing special occurred except fight "In House" and backstage 6/10 6. WWF World Heavyweight Title Match: Bret Hart Vs. Champ-Psycho Sid - I was very surprised, when Sid retained the Belt, couldn't say a word. Real animosity between Hart and Michaels there is noticeable. 6.5/10

bh_tafe3 WWE ensured that they maintained their momentum from Survivor Series with another solid show here.The VHS starts off with what was actually a pre show match pitting Rocky Maivia against Salvatore Sincere. Sincere was accompanied by Jim Cornette, but he turned out to be a liability rather than an advantage as he interfered in the match and got his charger disqualified.The night officially got under way with Flash Funk (wow, I'd forgotten that guy existed) defeating Leif Cassidy with a 450 splash (wow I'd forgotten that move existed). Not great execution there Flash, but it wasn't the worst splash I've seen, or the worst match for that matter.Next we saw Owen Hart and British Bulldog successfully defend their tag team titles against the new Deisel and Razor II. This was not a great match, Owen and Bulldog double teamed Razor II to get the pin. The new Razor and Diesel were introduced by Jim Ross as part of a silly storyline, which was soon dropped. Razor and Diesel stayed on for a while longer though. In the end both guys were dropped, but the New Diesel went on to become Kane.Next came the big rematch for the Intercontinental Championship between former Champion Marc Mero and Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Helmsley had defeated Mero to win the title on RAW after Mero's mentor Mr Perfect had turned on him. He was unable to get revenge tonight, winning by disqualification after Goldust interfered by attacking Helmsely. At least he had Sable to cheer him up once he got back to the locker room. Passable match.Now it was time for the Undertaker to face The Executioner under Armageddon Rules. Armageddong Rules takes care of count outs and DQs, and gives a wrestler 10 seconds to get up after being pinned. The Executioner had earned the ire of the Undertaker when he assaulted after his Buried Alive match with Mankind at In Your House 11. Taker and Executioner brawl around the place a little and Undertaker gets the win following a tombstone. Interesting match, but just not a great stipulation.Finally came the big WWE Championship match with Sycho Sid, capitalising on an appearance from Shawn Michaels to hit his powerbomb and defeat Bret Hart. Hart had looked in control until Michaels climbed the apron distracting him. Hart was then sling shot into Michaels and ate the pin. This was a good match. Hart was very upset after the match, feeling Michaels had cost him the title. This was a subtle beginning to Hart's heel turn.So there you have it, an entertaining PPV with a good main event, some rivalries resolved and a nice set up for the year ahead. A positive end to a disappointing year in the WWE.
