WWF Raw February 18, 2002/WWF SmackDown! February 21, 2002 Watch Along

If I was the nWo, I'd taunt him too. It's funny.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Every time I see this Matt, I just want V1 already

v1 is the only way to go.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Jacket aside, I love Matt's purple shirt and beanie.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

The UnAmericans wrestling the Hardzy on the 4th of July is a real treat.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

It got about 5 minutes I'd say, that's average or above average for Raw during this time lol

Average total ring time back then was about 35 minutes. Which is why I laugh at TEW saying 60-80% matches.

That counts entrances too but they're 2 minutes normally and 5 minutes max for special things like cages and stuff so yeah that number is def unrealistic for TV shows.

JR defending Austin again is hilarious after he beat him merciless in 2001 and then said all those awful things when he joined WCW.

Even with Entrances, I'd say 40% is about where a 2001-2002 show would fall. Especially 2001.

PPVs though 80% is pretty accurate.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

That Russian / side effect double team was pretty cool.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Christian being a baby in matches now? Where's Angle to come get his boy?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

God damn, what is this catsuit Stephanie is wearing?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I love how quickly Stephanie tosses Angle aside for Jericho when Angle loses his shot back to Hunter.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Flair strolling in and making another match for the title shot is what Vince was talking about.

You can't have two people in charge with conflicting interests overriding each other's choices.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Flair already using his stroke to help Triple H as early as 2002, though.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

You don't think the world would see you punking Flair's crippled ass on Raw, Taker?
