GOT Wrestle Fest Fan Thread

My brother was never really a big wrestling fan, but he was a casual one during this era (he was 7 at the time) and when we used to play fight/wrestle together, the one finishing move he always used to use on my was Doinks lol! Brings back some funny memories.
 
I watched the Rise and Fall of ECW the other day, anyone else watch ecw back in the day? I also totally forgot about the "Mass Transit incident" holly ****! That was fooked up!

Was a casual fan of ECW towards the end because of Bravo showing it over here, knew who everyone was though from reading Powerslam magazine every month. Have a few ECW DVD's in my collection including all of the WWE produced ones, Rise and Fall is still the longest and best documentary the company has produced for Home Video
 
Just watched the 1999 Royal Rumble. Mr. McMahon winning is just fantastic.

What's your favorite Rumble?

1992 without a shadow of a doubt. The amount of talent in it from Flair to Hogan, Savage to Roberts and features a freshly turned Shawn Michaels which i believe was his first official match after turning on Jannetty. Add to that the commentary from Heenan and Monsoon and you have a Rumble that will be hard to be topped
 
The 2001 Rumble will always be my fav. There wasn't that many matchs but they were all brillant! The Dudleys beat Edge and Christian in a typically excellent tag title match. Jericho beat Benoit in a ladder match for the IC title and it was everything you would expect it to be. Kurt Angle beat Triple H in a WWF title match which was also top class (Oh ye they had a womans title match with Chyna vs Ivory). Then there was the Rumble itself! Kane was simply superb, best showing I've ever seen from one of the "big guys" and for nearly an hour! The match was just spot on and I was well pleased that Austin won (I wanted Austin to win going in to the match but by the end I wanted Kane to win based on his showing). The only thing that irritated me was the Drew Carey involvment (though I can see the funny side now). Brilliant show from top to bottom! Also the Honky Tonk Man came back! Don't care that it was for a cameo, he's the Greatest IC champion of all time!

Stevo27, tbf I thought CM Punks documentry was quite good though your right in saying the ECW is the best. I don't know why they've let the standerds drop over the last four or so years as they used to make really good ones. I like the AWA and WCCW ones but I don't like the WCW one as it comes over one sided and bitter.

Have they dropped that much? Heard the Foley one was excellent, and the compilation sets have been well received also. Looking forward to the Mid South one due out in a couple of months as, apart from the brief footage I've seen online and on other sets, I'm not all that familiar with it
 
Can't wait for the War Games Blu Ray

Greatest Gimmick Match ever in my opinion
