I was thinking yesterday about WCW 1998 for some odd reason, and a debut came across mind that was so stupid that I was wondering if anyone else had some examples of guys who were given a big debut in a company that made no sense. Not something like Shockmaster debuting and falling down, more...

I heard Mick Foley on the radio yesterday talking about how he came to the WWF and became a star and what not. Forgive me if this is common knowledge, but first I heard of the story and I thought it was something people might like to hear. Apparently Jim Ross had been campaigning hard for the...

Let me stump for the greatest tag team of all time, the miracle violence connection. Perhaps you scoffed at that first sentence. Perhaps you thought, what about the steiners or the roadwarriors or the hart foundation or some other stellar team. All of them were good, many were great, but none...

So the thread about Heenan v Heyman got me thinking about this. Normally manager discussions always involve those two with Jim Cornette thrown in and then a 22 year old mentioning The Grand Wizard like he actually saw him, or Freddie Blassie, etc. But forget all of those guys. Who are some...

I've heard people say this and it seems like it is accepted as fact on the internet. However, Nash has denied it. In his shoot he claims to have his first paystub that indicates he was involved in creative (not sure how he worded) and says he didn't become involved in creative until about 6...

Maybe you don't recognize the name, but surely you will recognize one of his famous characters; The Masked Superstar and, perhaps more famous, Ax of Demolition. Many wrestling fans today don't realize this, but Bill Eadie was one of the more consistent hands in the business in the 1980s...

Throughout wrestling history, the Power & Paint gimmick has survived (until recently perhaps.) Names like The Roadwarriors, Demolition, Sting, Ultimate Warrior and many others have donned the face paint as part of their persona. So, who did it best? This isn't about who was the best...

Per Chuck in the staff area, I'm reposting this hoping someone can help. I'm hoping (possibly in vain) that somehow at wrestlezone can help me with the Bulldog avatar. I have searched for the original image that was used for this avatar for a LONG time. I've seen something similar on a VHS I...

Ted DiBiase (not Jr) is a WWE Hall of Famer and was a major part of the WWF during the late 1980s and early 1990s. He is in my opinion, without a doubt, one of the 5 best heels in wrestling history. His ability to generate heel heat for himself was so great that he could even generate face heat...

I've given this a lot of though recently and I've wondered if the nWo worked because the three guys involved were the three single perfect characters. The nWo wasn't just a heel faction, it was a cool, charismatic faction that relied heavily on the heels being cool and cocky. Hall and Nash...

Roddy Piper debuted in WCW at the end of 1996 as the foil for Hollywood Hogan during the early stages of the nWo, famously quipping that the audience would never have loved Hogan if they hadn't hated Piper. Piper's time in WCW included a high profile (and highly confusing) cage match with...
