    Was anyone else really surprised to see Tank Abbott tap to Sid's Crossface?

    Undertaker or Shawn Michaels?

    It wasn't a copyright infringement lawsuit. Vince's argument in the lawsuit was that Hall and Nash were giving the impression they were working for the WWF when they "invaded" WCW. That was the reason why Eric Bischoff had to ask them point blank on live TV if they were working for the WWF...

    Undertaker or Shawn Michaels?

    I disagree. The same could've been said about Diesel and Razor Ramon but Scott Hall and Kevin Nash owned the gimmicks in terms of mannerisms, attitude, the way they cut promos, the way they worked in the ring. They WERE Razor and Diesel and the same can be said about Mark Callaway and the...

    Chyna was not influential

    This is real easy to debunk. Chyna broke the "glass ceiling" so to speak. Women's wrestling existed before Chyna but they were often viewed as inferior to their male counterparts. Sherri Martel was a great women's wrestler but to make any money in the business she had to become a valet...

    Wrestlemania 10 Ladder Match Did Not Make Shawn Michaels

    The Ladder Match was make or break for Shawn Michaels in terms of main event material. He was given the singles shove after the break up of the Rockers but despite the massive hype (including a run with the I-C strap) he had failed to deliver the "showstopping" match that we had come to expect...

    [VIDEO] The Plane Ride From Hell

    This happened right before the days of camera phones and other video recording devices so this is probably of the last incidents of "wrestling debauchery lore" that we can only envision through the stories of people who were there. Justin Credible and X-Pac tell the best stories about it. It...

    Will Wrestling ever experience a boom period again?

    You forgot two very important aspects for the wrestling "booms" of the 80's and late 90's. The advent of cable television in 1980's which coincided with Vince McMahon taking the WWF national. Pro wrestling was no longer strictly regional. Fans from the East Coast to the West Coast could watch...

    Slamboree '94: Rick Rude vs Vader

    Rude would've been Stone Cold and the NWO and considering how close Austin and Nash were to Rude in WCW I'm wondering if they didn't get the idea for a face with an attitude from Rick Rude. Both men always speak highly of Rude and Nash even went so far as to credit Rude for his success. There...

    Sami Callihan & Eddie Edwards? Who Is Right?

    What exactly is the controversy? It was a botch. We can list probably over 10,000 of these in the history of pro wrestling and "sports entertainment". Some more serious than others. Some have ended careers and some have been tuned into angles. Why is this particular botch any different?

    WWE Hall of Fame: Class of 2018

    LOL, well that's quite an honor coming from a from a first ballot inductee and ranking member. I would try to rebut your answers but they made absolutely no fucking sense and have nothing to do with what I'm talking about. Do me a favor and go back and read what I wrote about Austin and...

    WWE Hall of Fame: Class of 2018

    Last I checked I am not up for consideration for the HOF but thanks for asking. This might be the dumbest statement of all time. It would comical if you weren't serious. Let me get these "facts" straight. Steve Austin and Mick Foley drew in millions of TV viewers to RAW on a weekly basis...

    WWE Hall of Fame: Class of 2018

    I disagree. When I think of a wrestler and whether he transcends eras. When I measure the impact he had on the business. I don't think of the number of titles he's won. I don't know how many Hogan has won, how many Austin has won, how many Triple H or John Cena, Rock, 'Taker etc....it...

    WWE Hall of Fame: Class of 2018

    That is exactly why I'm mocking you. You are an idiot. You are comparing a boxing movie with a story arc to the career of a professional wrestler. Two different things junior. We are not discussing a particular angle or storyline. We are discussing the career of Jeff Jarrett. I made the...

    WWE Hall of Fame: Class of 2018

    For this idiot, I am using pro wrestling in quotations because I am using it in the context of it being a sport where titles matter.

    Kobe vs Shaq

    I got a chance to see the Kobe vs Shaq Players Only interview where the two reflect on their time together with the LA Lakers. Here are some interesting highlights. - Shaq admits he was "done" after the first championship in LA. He was satisfied that he had finally won the "chip'" and...
