WWF Jakked by Marc Taylor |

MainBLAH |
I'm gonna do something different this week and try out the "Workrate Report"
style used by those fantastic folks at Ollie's Wrestling Resources
(http://infoweb.magi.com/~ollie/wrestling.shtml). I welcome and encourage any
and all feedback about which format you fine, fine readers prefer. If you haven't seen the "workrate report" form before, it goes like this: the report is divided into 2 sections, What Worked, and What Didn't Work. The various segments of the show are stuck into whichever of the two categories that the reviewer deems appropriate. Now that I've smartened up the newcomers, LETS GET IT ON! WHAT WORKED 
Stevie Richards vs. Steve Blackman was basically your average nondescript
Jakked match as far as actual wrestling goes, but I must admit that I was
sports-entertained by Stevie coming out dressed as Blackman, and was seconded
by The Blue Meanie as Dude Love. Stevie swung some nunchucks around to
imitate Blackman and whapped himself in the nuts, and I chuckled. I'll give
Blackman a bonus point for the baseball slide dropkick onto BlueLove, too.
The Rescue of The Week, which showed some of the various INSANE spots and
bumps from the No Mercy TIT ladder match. To quote JR, it was "absolutely
scintillating".
In the "worked considering this is Jakked we're talking about here"
category, we have Prince Albert vs. Shawn Stasiak. Stasiak MIGHT be a little
better than I've given him credit for in the past, and I think Albert's got
talent. Albert ALMOST worked over Stasiak's arm in the early goings, hitting
a niftier than shit legdrop onto the arm. Overall this match was just your
typical mediocre WWF match, but it wasn't offensively dull or anything.
Until D'lo Brown is on my TV more often, his matches automatically "work".
D'lo is just about evrything you can hope for in US wrestling: a talented
worker who's actually somewhat over with the fans. His match here against
jabroni Rob Conway was a palatable squash, as Conway got in a fair share of
offense, and D'lo hit all of his signature moves pretty well. DEEEEEEEEEE
LOOOOOOOOOOO!!!WHAT DIDN'T WORK
Recap segments don't work by default, so the Rock vs. Mankind recap from
Smackdown, and the Austin vs Venis recap, also from Smackdown, both sit here.
The WWF Rewind, (brought to you by Risk!) which recapped the run-in filled
ending to the Fabulous Moolah vs. Mae Young match from Smackdown goes in this
half of the report just for reminding me that the Moolah/Young match ever
took place.
Luna vs. Jaqcueline, since nothing can make me care about 2 minute matches
for a meaningless division.And There You Have It. Marc "the Mark" Taylor [slash] wrestling Send carnal lustings to: takakdx@aol.com |
