I completely agree. It was Shawn that was the complete selfish prick. Funny thing is, now he says he misses old school wrestling and booking, acknowledging he had played a part in the new way. What a moron. Bret was right all along. Instead of enjoying the drunken stupor high that was the...

I agree in general as to how they chose those wrestlers. But it was more of a filler to make Savage's title win seem more legit as he never went over the guy that beat Hogan illegitimately. And those 2 got disqualified from the tournament. Also, Jesse correctly pointed out some of the...

This is too much of an open ended question. Meaning that context of society is important. I.e. It's a much more TV driven industry today vs House shows/live event in the 80s. Then you got 'star' power vs in-ring technical power. Obviously technical skills has gotten much better but under...

Steiners in their prime today would be like World Champs. They were that talented, size, strength, ring psychology, everything.

That's BS.. HHH KILLEd everybody for years with the Pedigree and DB just got up like it was nothing.

Austin saved the WWF from WCW. Vince will always love him for that.

Lawler's been phoning it in for years. Since mid-early 2000s when the Attitude era party left. Also, one of the times he left (marriage problems.. divorce I think) just sucked it out of him. Changing business too, where it is too controlled and corporatized. He disagrees and misses the old...

96 was good and 97 was also great too. I see where the OP's coming from. WWE is going the nostalgia route to 'hook' people in, because they know that was the most riveting time in the business. It's also to get the newer generation, who were too young to fully comprehend what was going...

This. Pretty obvious. The mic work at the beginning, disrobing, swivelling the hips. And Vince was probably like "Buff Who?"

Pure in ring talent, Kurt Angle. One of the best no doubt. But as Professional Wrestler, Bret Hart., Bret Hart's life was Pro Wrestling Kurt Angle only stumbled onto Pro Wrestling after he had nothing to do. Therefore, Kurt Angle represents the new breed of wrestlers. These traits are...

It's gotten like boxing. Way too many titles dilute its importance.

MJ had about 15 season. That's pretty long. Especially in an era where MJ didn't even have their own team jet for over half their careers. It's just one string of entertainment to the next for the Rock. Hey, if he stuck around long, was around to really bring WWE into the new millennium...

Lol, you'd have cruiserweights fighting to be World Champs by today's weight and size standards. A cruiserweight today would need to be 185 pounds.

That was WWF's biggest worry. Not how Bret would treat it.. he would never demean a belt (something that's sorely missing today.. how much a belt actually means and to wear it with pride. That in itself would make wrestling far more enjoyable but that very sincerity), but it was the way Bischoff...

If I needed motivation to jump off a bridge, sure. Though I think it would be hilarious if they had gun act out his 'biotopic' in the original HHH character.

A guy like Taker is the only guy left that helped WWF survive when it almost went out of business. He also gave the 'rub' to the top stars of the early-mid 2000s. He has been the most loyal WWE employee, especially when he had a chance to leave and make way more money at WCW. He also didn't need...

Exactly. Hulk Hogan is the MJ of Professional Wrestling. Oddly, their careers paralleled. Both hit national stardom in 1984, and 'retired' in their prime around 98-99. Made a brief comeback in the early 2000s ie. Hogan coming back to WM 18, MJ at the Wizards, before leaving the national stage...

I think this whole concept of 'Headlining' a Wrestlemania is kind of dumb and just find it weird how it came about. Once the 2 world titles came into the picture, it was harder to put who the real main headliner is. I know generally the last match is supposed to be billed as the headline...

Hulk Hogan promos he did at Wrestlemania. Against Andre at Wrestlemania 3 with Vince holding the Mic, WM 5 against Savage, WM 4, WM 6. That is old school promo, telling a story which is to be concluded in a match. The promos nowadays are just all over the place, and rarely advance a match...

I think they made Lesnar look super weak since his return. I mean taker beat HHH multiple times at Mania. HHH beat Lesnar (as well as everybody else he faced basically). It's obvious that Taker is going over. The way to draw this is to make it seem like 'will the Streak finally end?' I did...
