  1. Linda McMahon Considered for Cabinet Position

    Using your logic, Major League Baseball is not a monopoly when in fact it has one in the form of its antitrust exemption from the federal government. Major League Baseball teams can prevent rival teams from within a certain radius. San Jose would love to build the Oakland Athletics a new...
  2. Linda McMahon Considered for Cabinet Position

    The wrestling industry was monopolized before Vince and Linda took over during the 1980s. Those small wrestling organizations belonged to the NWA, which had a monopoly over most of the country. Unless you were the AWA or WWWF, the NWA destroyed you. And with the two organizations not a part of...
  3. Who has had the best run as champion.......So far?

    He has gotten over as a face in spite of that. He got over in spite of being incredibly unlikable at first after turning. He took help from Triple H during the four way to determine the new Universal Champion before Triple H turned on him. So it is not like we have a character who saw the error...
  4. Who has had the best run as champion.......So far?

    For me, it is Styles by a landslide. I look at the momentum each had before winning their respective championship. Styles won his feud against Cena. Owens lost his feud against Sami Zayn (side note: WWE really wasted that Zayn battleground win, but I digress). Styles has been booked very well...
  5. Name one wrestler you can't believe isn't in the HOF

    Joey Marella. He was a great referee and the son of Gorilla. Really, I'm amazed that no referee has been inducted yet.
  6. Dean heading to RAW?

    There's no possibility of Ambrose going over to Raw between now and WrestleMania. I don't see them doing a free agency angle. When WWE did trades during Brand Extension 1.0, the timing was near the draft or draft lottery. Draft lottery episodes took place between WrestleMania and Summerslam. At...
  7. WWE Plans Scrapped?

    If true, I do not see the fact that the WrestleMania card has to be started from scratch as being best. I see it as being a non-factor. WWE has shown an unwillingness to embrace who the fans want. I do not see that changing in the short-term that is between now and WrestleMania.
  8. The Bret Hart return should have been done in 2006

    Bret Hart was not on good terms with Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon back in 2006. As I recall, one of his demands for appearing at the Hall of Fame ceremony was that Michaels not be around him at all. He did not appear with the other Hall of Fame inductees the following night at WrestleMania...
  9. Roster Situation

    Ideally, the roster would be so loaded that bringing back the Brand Extension would be a necessity. However, that is not the case now. The roster has talent, but it is not being utilized to where most of the wrestlers can reach their potential. There is a dearth of heels. With Raw being three...
  10. Would You Welcome Seeing The King Of The Ring PPV Return?

    I would welcome the return of the King of the Ring as a PPV event. I like tournaments in wrestling, and obviously, the King of the Ring fits the bill. Growing up, I was always excited about the King of the Ring because I looked forward to seeing how it would play out. Even when the winner was...
