    What If: Bret Hart's 20 year WWE contract

    If he stayed, I think Bret could have transitioned onscreen role into a manager as some of the greats in past did. take a bunch of their up and comers at the time and teach them real in ring work to go along with and support the smash mouth high flying things that were starting to come around...

    What If: Bret Hart's 20 year WWE contract

    EVERY announcer, commentator, VIEWER of any event makes statements like those you complain about. It's a part of the event. If joe smith throws a strike instead of walking a batter, then jon jones is up with 2 out and 1 on and instead of a 3 run homer, hits a 2 run homer unless smith throws a...

    The Best "Second Run" in WWE history

    hogan and rock's returns in the times you listed were not their 2nd runs. more like 3rd or 4th runs. especially hogan. hogans best 2nd run was his main run in the 80's. he'd actually been in wwwf during the end of 70s into about 81/82? and then left ot japan to return for late 83/earl 84ish...

    Mauro Ranallo

    never liked mauro's voice. just something about it that rubs me the wrong way. even back on right after wrestling/aftermath back in the day when he hosted with renee paquette(young) and arda ocal(keith edwards) didn't like his voice. kind of smarmy and everything sounds like he's looking down on...

    Does Taker get a goodbye?

    Actually, outside of wrestling related interviews and such, Copeland refers to himself and is billed as Adam Copeland in his acting roles and during interviews that aren't centered on wrestling. Even refers to Christian as Jay when talking about him outside of wrestling programming. Christian as...

    Whatever happened to?

    Actually add in NXT and Performance center and looking at likely over 100-120 potential wrestlers. During the early 2000's and the Wars, they were holding with 60-80 people signed to the company. A lot of them used mostly on house shows or 2nd tier Sat/Sun night programming, with only a core of...

    In All Of Wrestling, Who Is The Biggest Mark For Him/Herself?

    he's over rating himself a bit, but he's right about flair. Flair was boring as shit and had less moves then Cena-who is unfairly hated for using a core set of moves. Flair set/lowered the standard of what to expect in a match moveset and every one since has tried to copy/limit themselves to a...

    In All Of Wrestling, Who Is The Biggest Mark For Him/Herself?

    A whole page and neither Ric FLair or Vince McMahon has been listed? What have people been doing for the last 30 years? No one is more full of themselves and their own self importance in the biz then these two men. VM has tried so hard to get out of the biz with his power lifting league in early...

    Who was truly the greatest: Sting or Undertaker

    Actually Taker had some great moments prior to 96. He had feuds with Legends like Snuka, Jake the Snake, Ted Dibiasse, Macho man, Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart. Not to mention his times in the territories where he faced the likes of Jerry Lawyer, Steve Williams(austin), Bill Dundee and...

    Who was truly the greatest: Sting or Undertaker

    For me it has to be Taker. He had better matches against a variety of people with different styles as well as being central to creating several match types that had never existed. HIAC, Buried Alive, Body Bag matches, Casket Matches, Last Ride Matches, Inferno Matches. Sting was a good in ring...

    Favorite old school moves?

    Road dogg's was technically a drop not a slam. Didn't raise opponent into the shoulder grasp position to then slam down, only lifted a bit and dropped forward. Some do the belly to belly side slam, so I think you mean the overhead throw suplex?

    Favorite old school moves?

    Everflow ddt, cobra clutch, texas cloverleaf, Edge used a move called Edgucator, a cool looking variation of a sharpshooter. Set up legs like sharpshooter, but step through face oponent head instead of away and yank legs over your knee in that lock towards his head. Pearl River Plunge...
