[2/9] TSC Watch Party (8pm EST): Survivor Series 2002 via TaimaTV

[TrueEpic08]

The stiltedness of these scripts is pissing me off...

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Matches like that are why I have the "revolution" corporate speak. Though it was short, both girls worked their asses off.

JR would at least sign good looking women who he knew had some form of wrestling or athletic experience. Johnny Ace messed it up when he would just call up chicks he saw in modeling catalogs.

brock so young here.

 

[Silkk]

Crazy that these two had a world title match like what two years ago?

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Does Paul Heyman remind anyone else of Cam from Modern Family? Both the way he looks and his mannerisms.

Also, they were dropping hints that Heyman was turning. In 2019, no way would he tell Lesnar he couldn't beat someone.

I just shyt on the writing, but that "my client" line was just fantastic.

Actually, the whole angle leading to this match was fantastic. Listen to how over Lesnar was here, given that he was a very clear heel less than a month before. Amazing stuff; WWE'd never get this right these days.

 

[Silkk]

Beautiful ass belt, got that shyt sitting on my shelf just for decoration

 

[JerseyBoy23]

MSG used to always make Vince turn people before he wanted them to.

 

[Silkk]

When this dude would actually use more than two moves

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Weird hearing Taz say "not like this:"

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

Man do they even do moves onto the chair any more?

 

[LastManStanding]

even back in 2002 Vince was shytting on the Smackdown heavyweight title rarely allowing it in the main event

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Cole and Tazz losing it on commentary.

 

[Silkk]

Doesn't even make sense why Heyman would turn on Brock...

I know they had to get the belt off Brock to regain it at WM but still...

 

[TrueEpic08]

Love this match. Brock and Paul did more in like 5 minutes with their performances here than most wrestlers do in 30 minute matches. Great babyface work from Brock, and Paul's facials and body language were both just sublime here (constant amazement at Brock doing exactly what he said he wouldn't do; utter shock at Brock having Show beat). And that's not even taking into account the MSG atmosphere.

One of my all time favorite 5 minute or less matches ever.
