I could see Piper winning it. I think you still have him win the IC title and forfeit it after. Would have been awesome to see. You could have Bret vs Mountie for the vacant title at Wrestlemania. The problem with going with Flair vs Piper at Mania is Piper dropping to Flair ends with a heel...

I wouldn't say the match made me a fan, but Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper at Wrestlemania 8 made me look at wrestling differently. I was getting away from super hero's and getting more into sports so I started to enjoy the matches more than the characters. I realized that after this match. Then I...

I think Bret is better off with the WWF in 1997 since he had a monster year there. If he signs with WCW in the summer of 1996, I would have him be the 4th NWO member. Hogan, Nash, Hall, Bret would take on the entire company for a year (maybe have Syxx join to be the mid carder) then scrap the...

I like the OP's idea of Razor going heel. Seems like a no brainer since they needed heels and Razor needed a change. I'm guessing he stayed face since they were likely selling a lot of Razor merch. I don't like Bret vs Owen at mania since they had the blowoff at Summerslam in a cage and Owen and...

1991: Hulk Hogan 1992: Randy Savage (Ric Flair) 1993: Bret Hart 1994: Bret Hart (Shawn Michaels) 1995: Shawn Michaels 1996: Shawn Michaels 1997: Steve Austin (Bret Hart) 1998: Steve Austin (Rock) 1999: Steve Austin (Triple H) 2000: Triple H 2001: Kurt Angle (Austin) 2002: Brock Lesnar 2003: Kurt...

I stopped watching regularly around 2002 so ill rate them between 85-02. Royal Rumble. Most difficult one to pick. Ill go with 1989 even though it wasn't a bad ppv. The 90s rumbles were all awesome. Wrestlemania. 2000. Not one singles match. They were missing Austin and Taker. The main...

The 2003 Raw roster is not the easiest to work with. I wasn't big on Steiner, Nash, or Goldberg at this time but gave them each a title match, Goldberg even gets a brief run. The lack of faces makes it difficult to cut them all at. Winter 2003, the top face is Booker, Summer and Fall the top...

As mentioned above, Steve/Shawn was already penciled in for WM14. I think it was the way to go. Shawn was the hottest heel in the company and Bret was ready for a complete face turn as USA/Canada came to a close at survivor series 1997. After Survivor Series, Austin would start to feud with the...

The first time I can remember watching was Wrestling Challenge in the fall of 1991. I remember not understanding how Hogan and Ric Flair were both the champion. I can remember an interview with Bret Hart as intercontinental champion. I also remember what must have been a local tv spot for a...

As mentioned above, I agree Macho as a heel ran its course and it was time for a change. I still would have had him turn face and reunite with Liz after the match. I would slowly build him and Hogan patching things up which would lead to a one night reunion of the mega maniacs. This would be...

I'll agree with Goldie about Owen and Bulldog. Great tag team. I wanted to see Shawn Michaels and Rick Rude team up and face them during the 97 USA/CAN angle. I wasn't aware Rude couldn't get back in the ring at the time. Two of my favorite heel tag teams in the early 90s were the Hollywood...

Interesting way to compare the two. I like it but I don't think you can pick who's better just based on this. Based upon your list, I think Bret gets the nod with those workers. The problem is, you can't just compare the matches. You have to look at the whole situation. Curt Henning: He...

If you want to see Hogan work, watch his matches in Japan. I remember as kid, watching one of the Hulkamania tapes where he faced Stan Hansen in Japan. I had no idea what work rate or in ring style was at that time but I knew I saw a very different Hogan. Stellar match. Also Hogan/Warrior at...

The ladder match at WMX made Shawn in the sense that they now know he could deliver a big time match on a big stage. I compare to Bret at Summerslam 92. Although Bret had his main event push a lot sooner after his "made" match. You could also argue Shawn "made" match was the following year at...

Interesting, never really thought of this. I think Perfect was a big part of Flair's run as they were the focal point of tv for the whole year of 1992. Flair needed a manager for the type of champion he was. I think the build to Savage/Flair would have suffered without Perfect. The big angle of...

With summer slam upon us, I thought I'd bring up a topic for past Summerslam's. This has always been my favorite ppv. So, what Summerslam's would you include on your Mount Rushmore (top4)? and why? Mine would be: 1992: My favorite PPV ever. Bret and Bulldog is arguably the greatest match of...

R.I.P Brian. I enjoyed his light heavy weight title feud with Taka in late 97/early 98. I thought he played the heel role very well. Too Cool really stated to grow on me. Definitely can say I enjoyed watching Brian during his WWF run.

Is anyone really surprised he's back in? I am certainly not. Its shitty to say but Hogan is good enough to do what he did and stay in the Hall of Fame. Someone who never watches wrestling and couldn't name one person on the roster still knows who Hogan is. Thats why he is back in. If one...

1992: I don't think many dispute the actual rumble as being the best there was. The cast of wrestlers is this rumble is unmatched. Flair going the distance from the 3 spot with Hennan rooting for him the entire way was classic. The undercard was decent as well with LOD in the tag title match and...

September 1992 definitely could have worked. It was only a few months before it actually happened. 89 would have been odd, I don't think they were ready for the weekly live show yet. The reason 92 would have worked was the wrestling business was flipping over its top talent. Guys like Bret...
