D. Boons Ghost Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Crybaby Breaks was a great talent. His beating Johnny 'The Man' Saint is not at all surprising. And to beat him with the Breaks Special is almost poetic. As a long-time fan of unique heels, I have to go with Breaks in the 'Best of the U.K.' match -- though my instincts want me to side with the bigger and mightier Quinn. Still... the Breaks Special can bring the biggest of them down to their knees. And John Quinn will be no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still... the Breaks Special can bring the biggest of them down to their knees. And John Quinn will be no exception. I agree,actually if you looked at it,with Breaks and Saint you have two skilled guys who were also over,plus they pulled an A+,so to me it was a good finals match. I also tend to think Breaks will win,as Quinn was submitted by Chic Cullen before going on to win that tourney....whereas Breaks is undefeated, has the skills to tie Quinn up,esp. on the mat where Quinn seemed to struggle, and also the overness on his side to give him the energy to hang in there long enough to wear the big man down. No matter what though, those who watch regularly watch "World of Sport" will be guaranteed to never hear the end of the bragging from "Crybaby" after this one.

Each of you continue to showcase the higher qualities of both the game and the data on a regular basis. Most importantly -- it's simply a blast to follow. More than a few times, you chaps have inspired me to fire up the game and touch base with the nostalgia of it all. For that, I thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than a few times, you chaps have inspired me to fire up the game and touch base with the nostalgia of it all. For that, I thank you. I agree with Captainlou; when I first got into the WS series with the default data, I thought it was on "O.K."; it wasn't until I discovered D.O.T.T. that I really started to love the game...the detail and care put into it is just superb, on the level of a professional release for commercial sale.With me being "Stuck in the 70's/80's"(or so me friends say),something on the level of D.O.T.T.,combined with Adam's excellent fighting engine, is THE game I have been looking for when it comes to wrestling....heck,most of the time my diary entries practically write themselves;I just watch some classic wrestling, then fire up WS/WS2 and "run with it". My experience in wrestling is almost exactly the same as Lou: Growing up in WWWF/WWF country...."Historical" Agriculural Hall, where many an episode of "Pre-Wrestlemania" WWF TV was taped(I was there when Piper helped Snuka make "a little fruit salad"), is within walking distance of my house,which pretty much meant that was the only wrestling I knew.In the early 80's,our cable company started carrying WTBS,plus a few local stations started picked up shows like "CWA Wrestling" and WWC Wrestling in syndication,that exposed me to all sorts of "different" wrestling than I had seen before.I can remember buying publications like PWI,Inside Wrestling, and Ringside Wrestling when I started earning money on my own....I'd read about "far away" places like The Pacific Northwest and Mid South,I can remember wondering "Wow,that Jerry Lawler(or Dusty Rhodes,Austin Idol,Ted DiBiase,etc.) seems really good, I wonder what it's like to see him wrestle?" Of course now with the internet,I've been able to go back and "catch up" on much of what I was missing out on in the wrestling world(as well as develop a deep understanding,appreciation,and love of "southern" booking)....and that's the beauty of D.O.T.T.,I fire it up and it's Saturday in the early 80's again....and I'm STILL the kid who stayed home on Saturdays "because there's 16 hours of wrestling on I don't want to miss"(3 hours of WWF,1 hour of NWA World Wide Wrestling,1 hour of WWC,1 hour of SWCW, then a 10 hour block from around the country on TBS starting with GCW at 6:05) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderndaywarrior Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 On a side note,what was with Jim Breaks,when he did a wristlock/wristbend/Breaks Special.....there was always this really loud CRACK.....first I saw that i thought "Oh man,stop the match,he just broke that guy's wrist!"
