    I have a kode for Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition on Steam free if anyone wants it. Bought it on Steam already then seen a bundle for MKX, MKX Goro & MK9 on Bundlestars for a good price. So now I have a kode free.

     

    EDIT: Or not. Klaimed already.

     

    To bad I got put off of MKX cause they were going for "realism" with their female character. Pffff to that.

     

    Kinda looking forward to LEGO Dimensions even though it's going to be another one of those figure collecting things, but I mainly want the Back to the Future content and hope they provide some Ghostbusters content as well.

    Anti-American Stables are overrated and have been done to death. Personally I would rather just see a face Barrett taking on a heel Sheamus. They have good chemistry and BNB was super over when he was doing his "Bad News" shtick which is why they made him quit.

     

    Yep, which is dumb. He was getting over and they were like "Nope, you're organically getting over, we can't have that"

     

    It's one of the reasons why I don't really like the company.

    Lol I don't really get this.

     

    He goes on about the Wwe been a bad place. But tells us an absolutely brilliant story about what they've done. I was expecting him to say somewhere along the lines that the WWE did something bad and left the young lad heartbroken.

     

    So what's his point? Wwe did all this for conner and are showing everyone what they did, Because they set u foundation in his name, so it makes sense to show it.

     

    Basically I think he wants people to turn around and say well done that was all your doing. It wasn't all his doing unfortunately, he did something really really good, but only because of the position he was in, and his position limited him so without the rest of the WWE all he could do, would be to get a ring announcer to meet conner (himself)

     

    As well as trying to take all the credit, he was part of the WWE so any credit he thinks he should have, the WWE should take because he was part of the WWE.

     

     

    But he's not bitter at all??? Lol. he should find himself lucky he was in a position to have a part of it, as people like us aren't, so it's a bit ironic that he's unhappy that other people did took it upon themselves to make it a better experience.

    For my part, I think at least half my own personal being 'mad' at JBL for talking smack about WCW was me in 'playing along' mode, as my 'anger' was pretty much assuaged when Brock ... turned the table... on him. :p

     

     

     

    I had a rough time making it through that one myself, but then I always have been tenderhearted.

     

    :o

     

    Bah, I think he should've been the other person Lensar f5'd.

    Honestly I dont think anybody would have a problem with Triple H going over Sting if it wasnt for WWE's constant burial of WCW and them making the feud more about WCW vs WWE than Sting vs Triple H.

     

    Stephanie had that "You're a minnow in the ocean" and "you made it to the big time" comments, and JBL's constant burial of Sting and WCW throughout their match was overkill, despite the fact that Sting said in a promo that hes not fighting Triple H for WCW.

     

    Overall the match was pretty good. It was probably the best that you could get out of a nearly 60 year old Sting at this rate. Triple H did make Sting look good and it took a lot to beat him. If they made the feud more about Sting trying to stop The Authority then I think the loss would've been better received.

     

    Thank you, glad you pointed that that Sting even went as far as to say that he wasn't for WCW, but Stephanie and JBL turned it into that (and it wasn't just heel heat as people say).

     

    Now that's all I'm going to try to say on that as my post keep getting deleted, and as long as no one else brings it up, I won't either.

    Yeah, the DX vs. nWo part was a pretty great moment. 15 years too late, but great to get it nonetheless. I think most of us can easily overlook the fact that Nash and Hall helped Sting instead of Triple H, since it was laid out more as a WCW vs. WWE thing than Sting vs. Triple H.

     

     

     

    Agreed, this was completely unnecessary. The elegant thing here would have been to achknowledge WCW as a strong opponent and mark out for Sting's abilities. It's fine to have Stephanie and Triple H bury Sting and WCW, but the announcers shouldn't have. That was simply distasteful.

     

    Thank you, glad that a couple of people here acknowledge that JBL's commentary Sunday night was not good.

     

    JBL done a very good job of making it clear how much he hates WCW. That's my opinion. I'm not going to get into an argument about my opinion, though.

     

    Actually it was more along the lines of Vince continuing to bury WCW, despite them being out of business for a good 14 years.

    I think a lot people should go back and watch the HHH / Sting match. Sting practically dominated the match which is why DX ran in to begin with. I think NWO coming out was awesome. Sure, Sting and NWO never saw eye to eye, but NWO Wolfpac and Sting did. I thought the entire moment with both run-ins was special (what Wrestlemania is supposed to be). It was a great match that HHH didn't win cleanly (he used the hammer and pinned him).

     

    Sting didn't need or most likely want to win. He was so happy to have this run and get a chance to wrestle at the biggest wrestling event of all time. You could tell with the look on his face when he came out that he was simply thrilled to be there. He's a lot older than HHH and he knew beating him didn't do anything to further either of their careers. He just wanted to wrestle in a WWE ring and do it at the biggest event ever. The result of the match never crossed his mind in my opinion. He was just happy to be there.

     

    It made my night just seeing him wrestle in a WWE ring. The way the match ended didn't ruin anything for me. It was a special moment.

     

    It was more along the lines of the way JBL was bashing WCW and Sting constantly saying crap like WCW was the minor leagues, never mind that WCW was beating WWF for 80 something weeks.

     

    And no, for the record, it was not heel announcing, it was a continued WCW/Sting burial.

     

    And then on the network they come out and have Sting interact with Bo Dallas, a huge downgrade and a continued disservice to Sting.

    I agree with you on the fact the product isn't good anymore. (From my point of view) I watched it mainly 93-01. I watch a lot back on YouTube and I think mid to early 2000's was a time where there was some good stuff but not something I could sit and watch the full show. Now it's aimed at kids unfortunately for us. Still I think the last time it was pg it was much better than pg this time round

     

    And that's irritates me the most, back in the 80's when it was PG, it wasn't crappy PG like it is now.

     

    They could do so much better then they are, and I know Vince and his company knows it, but they don't even bother trying.

    Just a question, and I'm not going to debate the answer or start anything.

     

    Did you actually like wwf in the attitude era and before? Or were you just into wcw?

     

    Yes, I watched both shows back. Contrary to what you all might think, I was not just a WCW fan.

     

    And yes, I also watched WWF back in it's golden era. Hogan, Macho Man, etc.

     

    Things like this are one of the reasons why I'm so irritated at what the company has become.

    Yeah, TNA are really kicking WWE backside right now. Er...

     

    Seriously, we get it. You don't like the WWE. Fair enough. The product has changed so much over the last 15 years that you're probably among many that used to like it and now don't. Nothing wrong with that.

     

    But quotes like above are just silly. TNA has been an absolute mess for the last few years. They have highlights, sure (particularly the women's division), but aren't even playing in the same league as WWE at the moment. They can't compete on talent, writing (if you think the HHH-Sting overbooking was bad....) or production.

     

    Yeah, which is why they're putting on better shows then WWE, but don't let that stop you from spreading the WWE propaganda.

     

    Just for the record guys, there are other promotions besides WWE out there, just saying, WWE isn't the end all be all of wrestling.

    They couldn't bring the main guys over because the contracts they were on were too much so they let them run out then brought them over.

     

    Booker t is known for been one who was not buried, and was ddp really good enough to go over the rock, stone cold, hhh, kurt angle, undertaker?

     

     

    The invasion angle would never have worked because of those contracts, the wcw guys wernt over enough to cause Wwe guys a problem and the main guys would have cost too much to take on their contracts.

     

    And you have answered it there yourself, wcw wernt buried, the wrestlers that come over just wernt over enough to be a threat. Vince didn't want to take on the contracts, and used the wisdom that made them number and not go out of business by letting the big contracts run out and sign them for less

     

    Uh huh, that's why after the angle they brought in all the big names but Sting. Curious now that worked out.

     

    And they weren't a threat cause WWE didn't book them like a threat. They booked them like a joke cause WWE wanted to bury the WCW wrestlers.

     

    You know what I've watched from WWE this year? The Royal Rumble, Daniel Bryan's return speech...and that's about it. I'm not a fan of their current product at all. It doesn't change the fact that TNA's brand identity is nowhere near what WCW's was, nevermind WWE's.

     

    And yet they're putting on better shows then WWE. Curious how that works out.

     

    But don't let that stop you from continuing to support WWE's trashing of WCW.

    I actually agree, in the sense that he hadn't been featured in a truly mainstream company since 2001 and spent 10+ years in the wasteland that is TNA. That probably isn't how he meant it though.

     

    Wasteland? Yeah, nevermind that they were actually doing good, and at the moment still are, unlike WWE, but shhh, we'll ignore that cause you know, only WWE matters.

     

    So at the time of the invasion, the wrestlers from wcw got buried in the WWE, which of these wrestlers were over enough to win the title at wcw before they came over to the wwf?

     

    Basically who got buried and how many of them would have been beating sting, Goldberg etc if the wcw never went bust

     

    Still not getting what you're asking, but all the guys brought over for the InVasion Angle were promptly buried by WWE to show that WCW was on threat when they could've brought over the bigger name guys.

     

    Oh, and the few big names they did bring in like DDP and Booker T? Buried.

    That's the other thing. From the show point of view they hate wcw, so for them not bury them would kind of be saying they forgot wcw ever existed. If wrestling was real, they would still be skating their rival company.

     

    But from a backstage point of view wcw interests are Wwe interests.

     

    From a wcw fans point of view, do you actually think they buried wcw wrestlers? If you do then who?

     

    I think if you look back at it not really any of the top guys made the jump, and the guys that came over you wouldn't have accepted it if they beat sting, Goldberg, any of nwo in the wcw, so why would they suddenly be over enough to bury the rock, stone cold etc?

     

    Secondly just because they lost doesn't mean they were buried, Wwe were always going to win, they had the guys already there come out on top because they were already in the plans and would have got more over. It may be more of a case of them using wcw wrestlers to get their own wrestlers more over, which isn't really burying wcw wrestlers.

     

    I maybe wrong, but I think it was more of a case of making the roster they were going to keep look stronger rather than going out to bury wcw wrestlers

     

    Uh no, there was no reason for them to have JBL trash WCW the way he did, no reason at all. They're always taking potshots at WCW when they can.

     

    Oh, and by the way, the InVasion Angle back in 2001 says hi when they buried the WCW wrestlers.
