Wrestling Angles that worked

[censored] · #1 11-02-2005, 04:22 AM

I seem to be getting a touch of the wrestling fever as of late. Today I've been thinking about those wrestling angles that actually worked. worked as in were entertaining, made you want more AND resulted in matches you wanted to see.

I can think of a bunch but I'll wait a bit and then chime in with some that are missed.

The only thing that ever got me interested in seeing a match were the two guys in the ring.

Examples? I'm somewhat this way too but let's face it since the matches are predetermined the only reason someone could be interested in the match and outcome is if there has been sometype of buildup, angle, story to cause it to be so.

It's never the outcome that matters in things like wrestling, tv shows, and movies. It's how it gets there. The Chris Jericho/Christian thing from about a year and a half a go was horribly boring and drawn out, but it's Chris Jericho and Christian! They'll make quality matches, so I'll watch.

I was always a big fan of Cactus Jack and his barbwire club.

You missed the joke. Pride as in the pride fighting championship. Smallish NHB fighting confederacy out of japan. They have some ties to pro wrestling and usually put on a pretty good show

I've actually been wanting to order some their DVD's for sometime now as I hear it is much better than UFC.

Where to start? Also they have english commentary right?
