  1. Stephanie Mcmahon: "HHH almost defined the Attitude Era"

    It's a matter of semantics. Degeneration X helped set the tone as far as incorporating dick jokes. At the time it seemed like HBK's thing, but Trips was certainly cutting better promos than HBK at that time. He really wasn't one of the first characters around that period that was pushing...

  2. Stephanie Mcmahon: "HHH almost defined the Attitude Era"

    Little known fact: Triple H took Austin aside one time and told him that Ringmaster gimmick would never get over. He explained what he needed to do what do the Texas Redneck thing and said "Why not say Austin 3:16 says I just kicked your ass" at King of the Ring? When Rock was struggling as...

  3. WWE.com releases Top 50 Villains

    I don't think it was an accident that Rude was paired with Bobby the Brain. Managers for heels was huge back then, but a lot of those heels could murder a promo something crazy. I'm not sure I really agree with the assessment that Rude was great on the mic. There were worse, but he sorta...

  4. A tribute to the greatest women's champion of all time

    Lita and Trish headlined an episode of RAW by working the main event match of the night. Huge honor that shows that there was some serious respect and trust in what both women were doing. I don't see a problem with someone seeing Lita as one of the greatest. Trish gets my respect too. For...

  5. Maria Kanellis Fandango'ing

    If she's happy with what she's doing and promoters are willing to pay her, what's the problem?

  6. Is the Rock using?

    I don't know if he's bigger than in his prime. He's a lot leaner and often being more cut can actually make someone look bigger. There was this period after he started doing movies where he was substantially smaller. He was leaning down, but lost a lot of muscle mass too. When he tagged...

  7. Randy Orton Botch

    Professional actors in TV and movies forget their shit every so often. And they're paid to do that, not rassle on top of learn lines. Being a top guy, I'm sure anything that's done wrong becomes ammo for the next guy wanting a shot to point at as a reason for them to try someone else instead...

  8. Should They have been Bigger?

    The question there is whether is was really the guy playing Hassan as much as creative being in love with the character and coming up with a lot of material at the time. I wouldn't call him gold on the mic. He wasn't as bad as Lex Luger was at murdering promos. But he had some fairly stiff...

  9. Major Superstar returns at Raw Live Event!

    This appearance seems pretty consistent with the rumors that Taker had been on the fence about whether he would or can go for a match this year. It's not like he suddenly showed up on Monday RAW TV. Seems consistent with the idea of him wanting to see if he can work a match. He obviously...

  10. WWE no longer paying for Sunny's rehab

    ESPN did a short feature on Scott Hall where Stephanie McMahon estimated that they WWE's funding of Scott Hall's rehab stints have totaled six figures cumulatively. I think in some of these extreme cases, they have every right to reassess how long they keep extending this gesture. After all...

  11. What if: a homosexual character in the WWE?

    I would say it's not a great idea for the WWE to try based on the nature of the business and their style. The characters they create is a major exaggeration, they often fall back on terrible cliches and stereotypes. Things are cartoonish because they believe subtlety just doesn't work with...

  12. Bret Hart On Triple H

    Bret suffers from the same syndrome as Hogan, Flair, Goldberg and other former top guys (or even some midcarders who thought they were the main event). I think a lot of these guys get the mentality of protecting their spots into their way of thinking, once they leave the business they still...

  13. DiCaprio: "I'm done."

    In 2 troll with comment about his best role being his brief stint on the Growing Pains TV show in the early 90s.

  14. We have not seen the last of The Undertaker

    Wrestling being what it is, and especially the way the WWE moves, I think a fitting end would be one last good match. Maybe Taker will know when that match will be and there's an angle done around it, ie a retirement stipulation or simply just his saying this match is his swan song. Wrestlers...

  15. We have not seen the last of The Undertaker

    the Undertaker won't go out with some amazing storyline because the WWE writers and current crop of bookers have proven repeatedly that they just don't have it in them. Every once in a while, something like the beginning of Nexus happens. I think in the end, it's really about the...

  16. We have not seen the last of The Undertaker

    First, if the WWE thought they were so packed with very popular talent who knows how to work every bit they can out of a match, then they wouldn't be rehiring all those "good hands" to help develop the in ring talent they currently have. The WWE is in a transition period where they've lost a...

  17. Could Kayfabe Work Again?

    By breaking kayfabe though, the WWE doesn't have to put up Alberto del Rio in the best hotels, have him seen in the best restaurants, flying only first class, limo to and from events, etc. on their dime. I also think that by not embracing kayfabe, the media is more willing to work with them...

  18. Ratings and Buyrates aren't opinions

    Popular doesn't always mean good. I think that's a pretty fair statement. Quite often though, these are all very subjective things. And it's being applied to rasslin' here and not literature. While there's a craft to rasslin', it's a form of entertainment that's highly superficial and...

  19. Ratings and Buyrates aren't opinions

    Everything a wrestler does from the moment he comes through the curtain and when he finally walks to the back again is all meant to work a crowd. These guys work hard on their craft learning how to get the response from the crowd they want. We can debate til the end of time whether heel / face...

  20. Hot Rod shoots off on Linda

    I can see the boys being wary when they see the WWE try another WBF or XFL experiment. If it becomes a money pit where the gamble doesn't pay off, I think they'd all naturally worry if that means the belt tightens and pay offs are smaller even if revenue from rasslin' itself stays the same...
