Just got back from the show. There was a snowstorm here so I think there were alot of late arrivals and or no shows. Still seemed more crowded than the Smackdown show they had here a couple months ago. I was sitting 3rd row from the floor facing the hard camera, I had a "Goldberg is best...

As long as it's not a neck or head injury I would prefer the match go on if a guy gets hurt, or at the very least just have the wrestlers "go home" then. I don't like it when they just stop the match when a guy hurts his leg or something. To me it kills the suspension of disbelief. I'd prefer...

He technically wasn't the guy people were paying to see(That was obviously Austin, Rock, McMahon, Taker etc.) but I found him pretty entertaining during his feud with Chyna during the Attitude Era.

How about Doink the Clown hosting something in a Carnival like setting? Call it the Clown Show or something like that. Maybe build some makeshift midway game in the background and balloons etc.

This kinda strays from the topic since I'm breaking kayfabe here but now that I think about it that was bullshit that Hogan was out there. I don't know if he made sure he was or Vince but it was totally unnecessary. Savage busted his ass for years and put on a show that night, they couldn't...

The 92 Rumble was the first instance that came to mind. His actions led an 11 year old me to root for a heel for the first time. I just thought Sid got a raw deal. Hogan came across like such a baby during that time period and even made a kid like me kinda turn against him. Yeah Flair put a...

I always wondered why a company would insure a professional wrestler like that. The premiums must have been SKY HIGH, I mean being such a dangerous profession where injuries happen all the time, I would want a major premium to have to pay out multi millions of dollars to them.

Also I just want to shoot down one more of the narratives that WWE always spouts. They say that "They couldn't risk WCW saying they signed the champ.". When Bret wears a wire for his meeting with Vince on Wrestling with Shadows, on the extended cut he specifically says "I can call Bischoff and...

There were posters leaked advertising HOgan vs. Hart for Summerslam. Also I'm from Detroit(where Summerslam 93 took place) and it was advertised on the radio and TV as late as June to "come watch Hulk Hogan take on Bret the Hitman Hart". I'm sure Vince's plans were to have Hogan win but I...

Yes you are correct the main thing was losing to Shawn but Bret was hesistent to lose in Canada also. The reason being is that Bischoff told him that the WCW was planning to start doing more in Canada like WWE did and they wanted Bret to be their focal point of that. So Bret being already...

Damn that's a fine question. It maybe cheating since I'm sure Vince will go in but it won't be for his wrestling, so with that said I'm going to say Vince and Shane at WMX7. I just loved that whole build up and match. Again though that is a little cheating but I honestly couldn't think of...

Reasonable is that they both had to agree to a finish. Bret met him half way, Bret didn't demand to win, Bret didn't demand to beat any of their top stars, Bret asked for a dq finish that wouldn't hurt either guy. That's reasonable. Also there are legal documents that he faxed to VInce...

HHH and The Rock are the two that really come to mind. WHile others like HBK and Angle may fit the description they don't necessarily have the "look". Of course Angle can get away with that because he is an olympic gold medalist but I'm trying to talk kayfabe here. Looking at HBK and...

Didn't read through the responses the fact is that there is no way you can pin this on Bret. Should Bret have just dropped the title to Shawn? Yeah probably, but that's irrelevant, BRET HAD CREATIVE CONTROL IN HIS CONTRACT, that right there is all that matters. Vince was not only stupid...

The Rock didn't do it on his own but all signs point to him being a bigger draw than Austin. Austin sold more merchandise because he was a face the vast majority of the time and had more of it but in terms of ratings and PPV buys The Rock was better. The two highest grossing Manias were...

Agree. I think he is "technically sound" in the ring but he just has no presence to me. Nothing about him stands out or makes me want to pay money to see him. He just doesn't have "it". Some guys can get by without being the most charasmatic or having the best look, Bret Hart comes to mind...

As a kid the late 80s and early 90s was my time, and considering I always hated the heels and liked the babyfaces they must have gotten their point across. The only exception to that was Sid Justice for some reason I thought he was so cool and rooted for him against Hogan.

The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega have a youtube channel called The Elite and they have a series on there called "Being the elite", basically it's like a diary of them. After watching that I have a new found respect for the Bucks. Their schedule is absolutely brutal. They may not work as...

Ditto, my opinion may and likely change if I re-watched it myself. On first viewing I thought that not only did Omega do the high spots but he was the one to use some psychology by isolating the lower back/core for a good portion of the middle of the match. I didn't see much offense like that...

I thought Omega was the one that controlled the entire match. Really it wasn't till the final 10 minutes where Okada took control. For the most part it was Omega doing the high spots, whether it was the moonsault from the top over the barricade, the double leg stomp on the table from the...
