    UFC star Chris Cyborg discusses possible wrestling debut

    I think that's the biggest issue here. When Ken Shamrock debuted in WWE in 1997 the UFC wasn't on the level it is today and there wasn't someone like him before in the company so it was more like a Bad News Brown Style style gimmick "I come from a tough world to show everybody why you should...

    Should we address the big CM Elephant in the room?

    Yes he was but UFC made his decision a lot easier. You are right about him being fired on the day of his wedding but 5 years have passed since then. Wrestlers have returned where worse things have happened between them and WWE. Vince McMahon is known to bring almost anybody back if that makes...

    Should we address the big CM Elephant in the room?

    I don't know why some people think Punk is someone with integrity and should be respected for that. Punk, just many other wrestlers was unhappy with some things in the business (just like many of us are unhappy with some things at work) but unlike many wrestlers who without wrestling have...

    Should we address the big CM Elephant in the room?

    His UFC "career" killed his momentum for good.

    What If? - Austin Never Turned Heel at Mania X-7

    Many people who say Austin turning heel was the end of the wrestling boom and made the ratings flush down the toilet are wrong. The ratings were the same post-WrestleMania X-Seven with heel Austin. Many say Austin's heel turn was the reason for the end of a wrestling boom which is funny because...

    Fantasy Trades

    @The Reagmaster & @baseballmm I'm fine with my picks, I will not trade anyone.

    Season One Draft

    Here's the thing John Morrisson could be a great pick and worth a try, reminds me of Drew McIntyre who had also a meh run in the WWE midcard, got released, received a push in IMPACT Wrestling and returned to WWE better than ever. CM Punk on the other side reminds me of Brock Lesnar who quit the...

    What If? - The Screwjob Never Happened

    And you did but I'm too busy to watch a video that's over 2 hours long but I will do it over the next days because it seems interesting. Still, I did watch some parts and one part is very interesting. Cornette and Meltzer said that younger fans who watch wrestling in 2019 probably didn't realize...

    What If? - The Screwjob Never Happened

    @baseballmm said it best, many fans were young at the time, also the online world of wrestling wasn't that big back then and many fans took some things for granted. Best example is ECW. WWE and ECW were in a working relationship and Vince McMahon helped ECW financially many times yet in the 90s...

    What If? - The Screwjob Never Happened

    For me there are just some things that doesn't make sense so I just wanted to know what explanation the people have who claim it's real so maybe that makes me look stubborn or beating a dead horse

    What If? - The Screwjob Never Happened

    My bad. But no Freudian slip, more like a mistake because the terms work and real are used too much in this thread

    What If? - The Screwjob Never Happened

    To sum up all my posts in one short sentence: I believe it's real because everybody benefited from it Not only that. The Screwjob was typical Vince Russo booking/writing who started to get more and more control but at the time not many fans knew that and were not used to that crash TV, swerves...

    Season One Draft

    That was actually the reason for my picks, it seems like these people will receive the best booking IMO at least for the rest of the year, didn't care too much if they're faces or heels. That's why I have chosen Nilki instead of Dolph, something tells me he would leave WWE for a while to do his...
