Heat 01/12 (447)

The Haas/Crazy match was good, but… Crazy’s still not meshing will with either guy, or on the RAW brand in general. He looked dead tired the last few minutes of this 9 minute match, he and Haas weren’t on the same page to start it, and he feels the requirement to do springboard moves despite … Continue reading “Heat 01/12 (447)”

The Haas/Crazy match was good, but… Crazy’s still not meshing will with either guy, or on the RAW brand in general. He looked dead tired the last few minutes of this 9 minute match, he and Haas weren’t on the same page to start it, and he feels the requirement to do springboard moves despite not trusting the ropes in the slightest.

I love Super Crazy, I’m just trying to prepare you for the first time the Observer or Figure 4 has a surprised “WWE agents aren’t high on Super Crazy for some reason” random note.

I completely endorse the idea of making the local short matches a little shorter so the competitive match that actually could be good gets time. There’s no reason for ever local guy to get a comeback and run on WWE guys – it doesn’t make the WWE guy look good, and that’s most of the point of the match. Tag teams shouldn’t be in peril against non-WWE guys.

Heat 01/05 (446)

This one sucked. I know the idea of doing these Duggan matches is to get a crowd in a good mood before the show starts, but I still can’t fathom doing them as often as they – the man’s old, he’s not taking a lot of bumps but he doesn’t need to be taking a … Continue reading “Heat 01/05 (446)”

I swore I read about Viscera vs Duggan headlining shows at Armed Forces Bases in Asia in like 2002.

Heat 12/29 (446)

Top 2006 rivalries. I’m actually surprised this wasn’t more a direct hyped job for NYR. Figures that Todd gives out his e-mail address and I have absolutely nothing to say.

Heat 12/02, 12/09

#441 had a good Val/Charlie match and a good in parts Conway/Crazy match, though there seems to be issues with Crazy – communication? #442 was a Piper tribute show. The MSG match was fun, but I hope they’re sending the well wishes to Piper, because I don’t believe he’s watching Heat.

Heat 11/11, 11/18, 11/25

* 11/11: past UK matches. This was mostly just showing matches all from the same taping – so lazy – but showing the One Night Only match was cool. Had that been shown in the US before? I know it’s on DVDs. * 11/18: screwjobs. Of all the time to use the WCW library, you … Continue reading “Heat 11/11, 11/18, 11/25”

* 11/18: screwjobs. Of all the time to use the WCW library, you pick this time? If you’re going for the barely relevant, they should’ve used the time Giant won the title from Hogan by DQ thanks to an evil Jimmy Hart. Seeing a thin Giant is worth is always worth the price of admission.

* 11/26: actual matches! Everyone was a bit weirded out by the concept. They have matches again next week, I believe, and I can’t make heads or tails of the schedule from there (though I suspect not much, with holiday interruptions, the RAW in Iraq and such.)

I’m not smart enough to know what the deal was with Shelton and Crazy and who’s fault it was (though I could guess if you prod me enough), but there sure was something going wrong.

Tanvir’s Almost End Of The Year Review

It’s almost 2007. I am now 25.5 years old and god damn, I feel old and almost dying. A bad back, an aching sense of godliness and a desire to sing that Kajagoogoo song has led me to the end of the year wondering, “damn, what the fuck happened?” Instead of waiting for the Time … Continue reading “Tanvir’s Almost End Of The Year Review”

It’s almost 2007. I am now 25.5 years old and god damn, I feel old and almost dying. A bad back, an aching sense of godliness and a desire to sing that Kajagoogoo song has led me to the end of the year wondering, “damn, what the fuck happened?” Instead of waiting for the Time Magazine version of what went down this year, I plan on covering ALL of the major moments of the year. Why, you ask? Because I feel like it. Also, I like fulfilled my tainted ego by writing things for the internet denizens. Wrote a YEAR IN REVIEW a few years ago that, like, four of you read. I intend on having maybe two of you read this in full by making this as unreadable as possible. Do you think I can do it?

I surely hope so.

Heat 11/04

I have like 5 posts stuck in my head and no time to get them at least to my fingers, which is doing nothing to make them timely – do your really want thoughts on the ROH show that’s not a week and two shows ago? – but I found time to get THIS done. … Continue reading “Heat 11/04”

I have like 5 posts stuck in my head and no time to get them at least to my fingers, which is doing nothing to make them timely – do your really want thoughts on the ROH show that’s not a week and two shows ago? – but I found time to get THIS done. Priorities are all messed up, what can I say.

Heat 11/04 – nothing makes you want to buy a PPV more than seeing unrelated preliminary matches from previous shows. Do they think these shows are selling anything? They’re poor hype – the only time they even went over the lineup for the show were the post match commercials (and no one watches those but me.)

On the other hand, the show was generally amusing – as if all these studio shows have driven people besides me crazy – and I’ve decided the cameo was a shout out to me, and you can’t convince me otherwise. HI.

Since it doesn’t be seem to be used elsewhere, my PPV picks for Cyber Sunday follow.

Heat 10/28

Matches? Huh. Colt got to about nothing in his match. Crazy vs Haas was a nice save from an early screw up. Highlanders vs Cade/Murdoch is the same match they’ll do at house shows for months and probably a PPV.
