Alright.. 2 weeks later, I’m back to review some more.. Starting with Dinsmore-RVD.
The build to this match has been really good. Not just “hey, we’re unifying the titles because we have too many because ant is a belt mark” but an honest to god feud.
Release German suplex WAY early. I don’t particularly like that, especially from Dinsmore. Dinsmore’s character is that he’s “Mr. Wrestling” so for him to break out a huge spot like that, that early in the match, stings me. He hit that move early and without a pin attempt, so now if he hits it later in the match, it will have a lesser effect because “hey, he already hit that..”
The Dinsmore-RVD match was pretty good, but the Christian run in is sort of confusing. I get that it establishes a next month of RVD-Christian feuding, but it just doesn’t make a lot of sense, from my perspective at least. I think the run in would have been better served in a rematch on Collision. Like, RVD wins the PPV match, Dinsmore gets a rematch on the first Collision after RVD, then Christian runs in and costs RVD the title. Just my opinion..
Daniels promo. I agree, Iron Sheik is an immortal. I quote him on a daily basis for his insightful speech. I BREAK YO FAWKIN BACK AND FAWK YO ASS!!
Double promo again.. These really hurt, because they break the flow of the show..
And Daniels’ match is now.. He sure got from that church fast.
Daniels and Michaels is a pretty good match so far.. Just wanted to point out that it goes from gray text to black midway in the match..
Actually, a lot closer to the end.. Daniels scores the win over Michaels. Can’t say I disagree..
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! TIME LIMIT DRAWS SUCK!!! BULL ****!! MONREAL!! BOOOO!!!
Lol @ Jannetty.. Inter-PROMO-tional.. Builds up to Nuclear Meltdown. Sometime in 2008..
Double promo from Taz. The Jannetty promo really would have ended at a high note and sent back in to action with the crowd still hyped.. I realize that Taz needed to talk before his match.. But it just seems overkilled with multiple promos between matches. It sort of works on Collision, because that’s TV. But this is PPV. People PAID to see this, they want ACTION.
Three promos L are we about to the main event or something? You’re really packing these promos in.. the Daniels one didn’t serve a lot of purpose, either..
“#1” by Nelly for Homicide? Is it a tribute to Lowlife Louie Ramos? “The Truth” by Beanie Siegal is the song he usually uses, but #1 works, I guess..
Homicide versus Taz was a great match.. But what happened to the typical “and roll them up the ramp” gimmick to end the match?
Hmm.. Wonder what DiBiase wants to talk to Taz about
Buried Alive was pretty good. It was the first time I have ever read a buried alive match and I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. It was pretty good, although the finish was pretty gimmicky.. Not sure how else you could finish a match like that with a high spot though. Kudos for originality.
Homicide promo was decent. Not enough hate though. After the wars with Taz, Homicide should still be pissed off.. I mean, where does he go from here?
Lol @ Albert..
Total surprise by Taz. Never seen that coming. Nor would I have ever thought of anything like that.. *cough*
Main event was pretty good. Definitely ends the show on a high note, what with the exit of Test and all..
Definitely lives up to expectations. All sites set now for Nuclear Meltdown.
away from me"... lol Censorship?
I've never done a cheese grater spot. that's just gross. Cheese has all kinds of bacteria in it. Dangerous in an open wound, tbh.. Improper digestion.
