  1. WCW PPV's worth watching

    Some off of the top of my head that aren't already said: - Great American Bash 1988 - 3 great matches, one match so bizarre that it's worth watching once and one Dusty Rhodes match. - Superbrawl III - 3 matches at 4 stars or higher, some good undercard matches and one Dustin Rhodes match. -...

  2. The most influential men in wrestling history

    Well, that's not true. There's zero reason to believe that McMahon had planned to have Backlund drop the title to Hogan. There was always a transitional heel champion between babyface reigns. Sheik's influence is especially small when you take into account that it's not as if he was the only one...

  3. I absolutely despised the Rock in 2002

    You're hardly alone in your thoughts on 2002 Rock. It doesn't get talked much these days, but Rock was getting some really bad reactions in 2002. It wasn't Cena levels of hate, but it was certainly memorable. Most people dismissed fans booing Rock at Wrestlemania since he was facing Hogan in...

  4. Wrestling Trivia Thread

    Austin and Triple H was one. They opened at IYH: Buried Alive and closed Survivor Series 2000.

  5. King of the Ring - Should it Return?

    Or Sheamus. That losing streak until he gave up the KOTR gimmick was AWESOME! By the way I love to hate on KOTR, I wouldn't be surprised if I insist on having some joke at the expense of the tournament to be added to my tombstone. :lol:

  6. So what if Daniel Bryan is stripped of the title?

    Again, I don't see why Kane deserves another thank-you reign when he already had one. Keep in mind, this is the same wrestler who's entire career was losing to the Undertaker. Then, he wins the World Heavyweight Title and not only does he FINALLY get a win against Taker, but he gets three...

  7. So what if Daniel Bryan is stripped of the title?

    Sure he has. He was World Heavyweight Champion for half of a year in 2010. He spent most of the title reign doing the impossible and defeating Taker on PPV three times in a row. There isn't much of a point of giving Kane a thank-you reign when he already had one. Besides, do you really want the...

  8. Santino

    Ha. No, companies on the verge of dying and have been an utter mess for a couple of years does not count. When you're at that point, there's no telling what a company is bound to do. Look at WCW in 2000, if you need plenty of examples. :lol:

  9. King of the Ring - Should it Return?

    They did that in 1998, 2001 and 2002 and those PPV's still sucked. Even when Kurt Angle got to work with a couple of good talents in Christian and Edge in 2001, his KOTR tournament matches were completely forgettable. Yet, on the same night, he had a non-tournament match and he ended up...

  10. King of the Ring - Should it Return?

    Eh, it's 2014, is it really that uncommon to find face vs face or heel vs heel matches? And to be honest, quality of wrestlers was never the problem for why KOTR sucked. Take 2000 for example. You had Benoit, Jericho, Angle and Guerrero all in the tournament. The main problem is that the WWE...

  11. King of the Ring - Should it Return?

    Yeah, a few of the winners (Owen Hart, Mabel and Kurt Angle) all earned title shots for Summerslam that year by other means. Sadly, you're not the only one who wants it back. I've had this same debate with multiple people on several boards and over a many year span. :lol:

  12. Santino

    It seems highly unlikely that he'll be anything serious high in the card in the WWE. He's been a comedy lowcarder since...2008? How many wrestlers do you know that has been a comedy wrestler for six years had their career turned around with a serious push? In fact, I'd say his more likely future...

  13. King of the Ring - Should it Return?

    That was a prize one time and one time only (2002). Honestly, KOTR sucked beyond belief. The buyrates were always one of the worst of the year and the matches in the tournament were generally dreadful. I'm glad the PPV died a miserable death. The MITB PPV tends to be so much better it's not...

  14. Matches you consider to be 5*

    Matches I've rated at ***** - Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage - Wrestlemania 3 - Ricky Steamboat vs Ric Flair - Clash of the Champions VI - Ricky Steamboat vs Ric Flair - Wrestle War 1989 - Bret Hart vs Owen Hart - Summerslam 1994 - Bret Hart vs Steve Austin - Wrestlemania 13 - Mitsuharu...

  15. What's missing?

    The only problem is unlike WCW, it's only a very select few that's making any sort of decent money in TNA.

  16. What's missing?

    Oh, they already have the monopoly. TNA doesn't influence or impact WWE in the slightest. At this point, TNA is just an indy company with a pretty sweet TV deal.

  17. What's missing?

    PWG will not grow any bigger nor do they want to do so. Both Excalibur and Super Dragon are practically running PWG as just a little side project when they have downtime from their real jobs. The last time they tried to truly grow (European Vacation in 2007), it was a bloody disaster for them...

  18. The Official Upcoming Wrestling DVDs Thread!

    Eh, they only stopped before 1997 because that was the 11th Survivor Series. Pure coincidence that it stopped before that PPV. It's a pity those DVDs didn't sell too many copies though.

  19. Tournament: Greatest ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Round 1

    1. Shane Douglas (Douglas wasn't anything special, but he played a huge role in ECW as ECW Champion. Big Zeke just had a good match where he won the belt.) 2. The Sandman (Sandman was pretty dreadful while Tanaka was incredible, but it's difficult to make a case for Tanaka when his reign...

  20. Favorite TLC Match

    As far as purely telling a story, you can't get any better than TLC 3 from Smackdown. Much like he would a few days later with the first MITB match, Benoit found a way to make a ladder match be about a story rather than just random spots. I can't say I've been a fan of some of the semi-recent...
