Increasing the HM limit right now it's like... a few thousand more feathers.

| Lopen 07/27/18 3:20:54 PM #482 | Well, I'm not trying to argue the definition of story here. I'm just saying what I meant when I said "story" in the context of that inequality. I should've probably said like, character depth or something. I do think the stories the characters contribute to will help provide this more often than not, but like the actual stories going into matches I don't think I would weigh into whether I like a character much at all either. Sometimes there are just great guys who get screwed over by the writing-- that isn't gonna generally make me hate (or love) the guy unless it makes me view the character in a different light. Which I mean, it can. Like in some ways you could argue my complaints with Arn Anderson were just that, because the on screen story of the horsemen in the vacuum of MNW era Nitro to me didn't didn't match what the character was presenting, which made me care for the character less. And to go back to way earlier in the list for a positive spin on this, I wouldn't have cared for Glacier nearly as much had I not seen his story arc where he sold his entrance to Kaz Hayashi. So I mean, what I'm talking about is related to story in that story will help bring it out, but not directly story, if that makes sense. I think the stories in and of themselves we all care about about equally though. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 07/27/18 3:08:18 PM #479 | Well that's kinda what I meant by story. Like to get nuance for a character you need to flesh them out with plot arcs and stuff. A character doesn't come nuanced out of the box, really. Me and Eddv we might like a guy like Sid just as much even if he didn't really do anything but cut incoherent promos his whole career. You'd get a lot more out of him like, changing over time. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
| Topic | Scarlet Ranks 150 User-Nominated Wrestlers Part II |
| Lopen 07/27/18 3:04:06 PM #477 | Well Where Eddv and me and scarlet differ is specifically on a character end. Scarlet likes good stories just as we do, which is relatively lower priority for you, but we like more bombastic characters. Like for me (and I think eddv) it's like Character > Story > Ring Work For Scarlet (from what I've gathered from the write-ups) it's like Story >= Ring Work > Character For you (from what I'm gathering) it's like Ring Work >> Story/Character --- No problem!

| Lopen 07/27/18 1:14:55 PM #461 | Yeah. He had good matches. Though by 2012 AJ Styles definitely had his share of excellent matches too. I'm a big character guy though so I really need the character to click with me for me to really think they're an amazing all around package of a wrestler. This doesn't need to be something super grandiose-- like I'd previously been defending Dean Malenko's character as completely fine, but before like 1996 Pillman wasn't even on the Malenko level and was more of like a Finn Balor ball of bland imo. And then at that point he gained the foundation of an interesting character muddled in weird storylines in WCW, and then he had the beginnings of a good one in WWF but there wasn't enough for me, personally, to really latch onto, since it just didn't last very long. Anyway I don't really want to ramble on about this too much as I don't want to feel like I'm trying to rag on the guy, cause I'm not, but just want to make what I'm saying clear I guess. --- No problem!

| Topic | Scarlet Ranks 150 User-Nominated Wrestlers Part II |
| Lopen 07/27/18 1:05:50 PM #457 | Yeah I definitely see a bit of a parallel there. Right down to both of them to some extent starting their careers as vanilla midgets. But if AJ Styles died in like... 2012 (first glimpses of him showing a character I liked were around then), I wouldn't like him all that much either. Don't mean to be morbid or tasteless or anything, but that's just the way it is. In any case while I will 100% agree he died too early and that I saw the potential for an all time great there. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 07/27/18 12:42:53 PM #453 | Wow you just blew through those last few! I actually was pretty sure those would be the top 4 and I guess gun to my head I would've guessed DDP would be #1 but yeah. I guess when you're talking about your absolute favorites it's easier to find stuff to write about em. Pillman I feel like could have been highly rated by me as well if he had more time as The Loose Cannon as it's a gimmick I feel has a lot of potential and he did well for what time he had with it. As it is he just didn't have enough longevity to leave anywhere near that impression on me, as I didn't have much fondness of the guy before that gimmick. He was good in the ring and all, and I guess he had that weird WCW feud with Kevin Sullivan but like... I dunno, that was more confusing than anything and despite showing shades of The Loose Cannon before WWF I can't say it ever appealed to me before WWF. He's the other guy with Arn that I was saying "two guys I was never really big on in the top 10" for for the record. Now DDP is a weird one in that I disliked him at first-- and I'm gonna be honest I think it mostly just comes down to his look (he's one of those guys who looked like he was 50 back when he was 30 but then stopped aging-- also his ribs were taped so long it became almost like parody) but unlike with other guys I said this about he actually won me over at the time without me going back at a later date. I think it's because the Diamond Cutter was just a cool move to get behind with all the setups (even if they were basic compared to the contrived RKO setups we get sometimes, that almost made it better) and he just consistently had at least passable matches, even against guys who sucked. --- No problem!

| Lopen 07/27/18 12:24:16 PM #447 | Jake Roberts is another guy I can't say I ever quite clicked with, at the time. I think it was mostly because most of the stuff I saw of his were when he was a face whose schtick was throwing a snake at people-- and as like a 5 year old I didn't really appreciate how good even his face promos were. Though I do think heel Jake the Snake was more entertaining, even with how over the DDT was for the audience to chant. Unlike with Arn, however, his character wasn't ruined because of this and I've grown much more fond of him over time. I think the difference is I never actively disliked Jake the Snake, just kinda found him "whatever." So when I go back and watch more stuff that features him later, I'm like "dude this guy was good when he was on" Not one of my favorites by any means but definitely can acknowledge what he did right. --- No problem!

| Lopen 07/27/18 12:15:29 PM #446 | Ted Dibiase on the other hand I always loved. Probably the defining guy I think of when I think about a good gimmick in wrestling. Not to imply he was made by the gimmick or anything but he totally crushed it. In some ways it's unfortunate that he never got a title run, but honestly in some ways guys like Dibiase being as good as they are and not getting a title run helped the prestige of the title too. But I mean, Sgt Slaughter of all guys got a run so while some guys not getting the title for at least a while is good it didn't have to be Dibiase. Dude was huge in the late 80s. He was robbed at Wrestlemania IV. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 07/27/18 12:36:13 AM #440 | Well I never said he needed a singles title. Achievements do not necessarily mean titles. I just buried Miz myself so I mean I thought that would make it clear that's not exactly what I meant there. I meant The Four Horsemen needed to be doing something relevant that wasn't bickering amongst themselves. In the past they may have. In 1995-1998 they are not doing that very often at all. Like it's not that I don't see the idea of operating at a high level over an extended period of time being difficult as making sense-- I see the idea that the Horsemen in their Monday Night War state operating at that level being the thing that's difficult to swallow. They're just dudes that talk a big game and have some matches just like anyone else on the roster. If it was a collection of elite names you could maybe sell it easier, but Benoit and Mongo are just random midcarders. Like to me it's not Arn himself that is not credible enough for what he's selling as much as The Four Horsemen (again, Monday Night Wars era Horsemen), which he symbolizes, that isn't. --- No problem!

| Lopen 07/27/18 12:14:00 AM #438 | I was more saying I consider them similar because they both take wrestling very seriously and the strength in their promo skills was cutting a believable promo. The content is of course different. The delivery is different. But at their core the reason they cut good promos is because you really feel like they treat wrestling like it's something legitimate and real. But for me someone who takes wrestling very seriously without having the achievements to back it up to me it hurts their credibility a lot. Like Arn may have talked a lot about how it takes a commitment to be a horseman, but he also always seemed to refer to it in a light where there was some sort of honor and prestige to being one as well. Like he wasn't ever saying "don't be a horseman it's dumb" he was saying "don't be a horseman because you can't handle it"-- but why can't they handle it? What are they doing that's so much more difficult than Meng going in there and fighting dudes. If you're wrestling at a high level then that is self explanatory. If you're just some random four man act that gets a lot of hype but looking realistically is barely holding itself together it becomes a bit harder to sell, and that's where it always fell apart to me. The words were good but my perception never quite matched up with what he was selling. I always assumed not seeing the earlier stuff was to blame but maybe there's something more to it. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 07/26/18 11:41:16 PM #436 | Huh. That's really surprising to me. I mean I guess it shouldn't be since you didn't mention it much at all in your write-up but I dunno I just kinda figured most people who didn't experience The Horsemen before 1995 they'd come off as a bit of a joke relative to their reputation. I mean he has the same kind of promos that Bret Hart does that I love so I see the appeal to the guy, but the difference to me is that Bret Hart actually earned his hype with good achievements and matches and The Horsemen to me in 96, 97, 98, just hadn't. To me The Horsemen getting the hype they did then was along the same kinda vein as Miz saying the Intercontinental Title is relevant. Only Arn wasn't a heel at the time and was treated as credible in saying this. Well actually I guess Miz kinda is treated as credible in saying this because despite being a heel they like to pretend the title is prestigious so maybe it's closer to the mark than I thought at first glance. --- No problem!

| Lopen 07/26/18 11:18:52 PM #434 | Arn is one of the guys I never really liked in your top ten, but as I said before I'm sure it's a problem on my end more than him not being good. The problem is I just haven't watched enough early WCW to really have any good appreciation for the horsemen. Like it's funny that you linked a bunch of promos that I actually have seen, but they fell on deaf ears for me because I'd never seen the Horsemen in a context where they were actually worth all the bluster Arn makes about em. For me he's that guy that was in the Brainbusters, and then cut a bunch of promos about how great the Horsemen were in late 90s WCW when on Nitro they were mostly featured in a context where they were arguing with each other and infighting. Of course, I can watch old stuff where they were better now, but he's already kinda been irreparably tainted as that guy who takes things way too seriously about a faction that felt like a lot more hype than substance due to my first exposure to him as a WCW viewer being just that. I imagine a lot of WCW fans that joined during the Monday Night Wars feel similarly. Not really sure if it could have been fixed. Booking the horsemen a bit better from 1995 on would've definitely helped-- also imo probably Mongo and Chris Benoit being in the Horsemen then was a mistake-- when you're introducing the show to a new audience you should probably make the Horsemen as hype as you can, star power for each horse. Bring Luger back in he used to be one. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

And I don't mean in a nostalgic "he used to be great and I still love the guy" kinda way as much as in the moment directly when he appears on the show-- and it's largely because he's always evolving his character as you said. It's impressive for a guy with that long a career to be relevant the whole time. WWE tried its darndest in I wanna say... 2014... to make him boring when he basically existed to just job out to guys, but he got out before the stink of WWE booking ruined him too bad, then came back with THE LIST. That he likes to take routine breaks to go tour with Fozzy or whatever else probably has helped him a lot all things considered. And I think more wrestlers could stand to branch out more than they do because absence does make the heart grow fonder. Also the abundance of breaks are probably why he can still go today. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

I was the kid who was rooting for Mr Perfect and the Genius to get one over on Hogan for example. Austin was just a perfect type of jackass that rubbed me the wrong way. I hated him even when he was the Ringmaster which wasn't even close to full potential, but something about the way he carried himself and showed that certain type of disdain for his opponents just made me mad. Mad enough that I found myself pulling for a washed up Jake Roberts of all guys to shut him up, and I never really even liked Jake much-- he's a guy I really didn't like until way after he'd retired and I rewatched some old stuff and absorbed what a great promo he was It speaks to how effective he was, but also partially speaks to what a Bret fanboy I was since even when Bret/HBK was presented as face/face I still hated HBK. And The Patriot of all guys was my least favorite wrestler for a while in 1997. But I still liked the Bret/Austin match in the moment, and honestly the feud in the moment too because it got me into it even if I thought Bret was right the whole time and was upset when the audience turned on him, but it's one of those things I had to rewatch through to really fully appreciate Austin's contribution to how great that feud was. Anyway yeah Austin is very good. Possibly my favorite guy of your top 10 so a shame to see him drop so "early" but what can ya do. Can't be upset with 10th place. --- No problem!

That being said I already have her Rider version at 10/10/10 and her Ruler version looks not great in gameplay for someone who already has a good Jeanne. But on the other hand her animations and style are excellent. When's normal Martha gonna get an animation update anyway jeez those generic caster animations are a buzzkill. I'll probably give the gods of six tribute for the banner with both her and Marie on it and let the cards fall where they may but I might just do what everyone's doing and just go for the one with just her on it too. --- No problem!

I feel like I kinda disliked him until that segment where he attacked Vince McMahon in the hospital bed. I think that was the moment where his absurdity really just clicked with me, and I only started to like him more as time went on. Like the Austin/Bret feud is something I had to rewatch through to really appreciate because as a kid I just liked Bret Hart a lot and disliked Austin for being that jerk who was battling him. I tended to dislike most of Bret Hart's blood feuds aside from Mr Perfect. Probably to this day a reason why I'm not as big a Shawn Michaels fan as most people Austin over time completely won me over whereas Shawn never really did though. Says something about the charisma the guy had. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
