WCW Slamboree is on the live stream today. Not too many highlights from this one. Konnan vs. Jushin Liger is a decent match, as is Sting vs. The Giant. Of course, the Lethal Lottery always leads to weird booking.
Anyone have any suggestions to improve the Network thread? A different time of day maybe? I focus on the live stream because there are times when you just fire up the Network and catch whatever is on for the hell of it. When updates to the library have been made, they will be posted here. If you have any ideas, make 'em visible here.

And yet a cup of coffee ended it!
ReplyDeleteThe Horesman's original purpose was to keep the belt on Flair.
ReplyDeleteI think if you do that Bryan kind of looks like a dick and a heel
ReplyDeleteHave Lawler induct him and Tony Clifton show up to accept. We'll never know if it's Kaufman under the makeup or not.
ReplyDeleteYeah I like this idea way better than just handing some guy the belt. Do a mini-tournament with 4 top guys ala Vengeance 2001. That guy is the interim champ. Bryan comes back and you have a ppv main event.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the smallest number of guys that can be counted as a faction? I know there's no rules about this stuff, but in my mind 3 = three man tag team, 4 + = faction.
ReplyDeleteFor a little while there were 4 Von Erichs, but Mike started wresting just a few months before David died.
He sorta is a Hall of Famer.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the surrogate champion idea. Interim champion I'm fine with, but having someone defend another guy's singles title just doesn't make much sense to me. "Reigns won, so Bryan is still the best!" i can tolerate it a bit more in tags, since there's still an original member of the team involved, but I'm not a huge fan of it there either.
ReplyDeleteVince doesn't like to acknowledge stuff he didn't think of unless he can make money off of it.
ReplyDeleteWell, in his defense he was in his mid 40's when the horsemen thing started
ReplyDeleteProbably why Scott hasn't fired him. Meekin threads get upwards of 200 comments most times. Granted, 180 of those comments are bashing Meekin, but still.....
ReplyDeleteWe need more running commentary from anyone who is watching the network.
ReplyDeleteI'm up to Wrestlemania 5 on my watch. I watched most of it last night, so I get to go home tonight and watch Hogan/Savage and then move onto the Clash from that day as well.
ReplyDeletebtw - Ole's wiki page says his ring name was a play on the name of the plant "Oleander". All these years and that never even occurred to me.
ReplyDeleteTJ: You ever get to work on a Wed. and see your weekend disappearing before your eyes as technology requests email after email after eamil comes in for Saturday and Sunday even though your department has a 7 day notice policy for weekend work? no just me?....Anyone want to do some network watching with me Saturday?
ReplyDeleteWWE did release a toy two pack of Lawler and Kaufman around ten years ago, so they've at least dealt with his family in some capacity. I'm sure once they own the Memphis footage that they'll induct Kaufman. As of now, they wouldn't even be able to put a montage together for his induction since they have no footage they can use.
ReplyDeleteThere's simply too many roadblocks.
ReplyDelete1) Andy Kaufman died 30 years ago. He isn't recently deceased, which is typically when long-forgotten stars' names are capitalized upon (in all entertainment industries).
2) Because he's dead, he can't make an appearance, thus his induction can't really be used as a draw.
3) WWE wouldn't have much (if any) footage to create a tribute package.
4) Kaufman never married and his only child was given up for adoption and didn't even learn who her father was until 1992. So who accepts the induction? Bob Zmuda?
In the eyes of WWE, yes....but then again, so are Koko B. Ware and Hacksaw Jim Duggan (but not Randy Savage or Lou Thesz)
ReplyDeleteMaybe anchor it with some kind of network related wrestling question? I'm a huge fan of having a place to post while I watch the network though. And I never got to finish summerslam 99 last night. I sat through ivory vs tori and fell asleep right when Blackman got in the cage with shamrock. So sorry work, I'm finishing that shit after the 8 o'clock meeting.
ReplyDeletePlus I'd like to watch a bit of the September 99 show too
ReplyDeleteAgreed I love having a place to post about what I'm watching..I just wish there was more interaction around here.
ReplyDeleteThey should get the guy from Arrested Development who walked around with a camera on his head and wore the shirt that said surrogate on it to defend the belt. Can't think of his name but he played Super Dave and Marty Funkhowser in Curb.
ReplyDeleteIf this was a ranking of coolest entrances and/or music, I wouldn't be mad at The Brood being ranked so high. Factions, though??? They deserved to be an honorable mention like Right to Censor, but #2? Heck, if the list was expanded beyond the top 10, I might rank RTC higher. Oh, and of course the Horsemen should've been #1, but am not shocked DX was instead.
ReplyDeleteOn a positive note, it was nice to see the Dangerous Alliance being recognized.
11 reigns actually (7 World Heavyweight & 4 WWE Titles) along with 5 IC Titles,1 US Title & 14 time Tag-Team Champion.
ReplyDeleteThrow in Royal Rumble,King Of The Ring and Money In The Bank wins along with a genuine Wrestlemania main event at XXIV.
Now 20 years ago he's be lucky to win 1/10th of that but that's the age we live in now.
The only idea I have (at 730 in the morning off the top of my head) is if he somehow tied in a wrestling question. Maybe a question about a specific show on the network or something, maybe that would get people in here all day talking more?
ReplyDeleteMaybe they were confusing them with the Survivor Series team names like Rude's Brood.
ReplyDeleteHalf the reason I watched was for the nicknames like Roddy's Rowdies and The King's Court.
Wow....they've been shoving him down our throats more than I thought! Lets also keep in mind that a few of those accolades Vince McMahon also won as a wrestler (World Heavyweight title, ECW Title, Royal Rumble, main-evented Wrestlemania, etc.) so titles won doesnt tell the full story
ReplyDeleteLawler can induct him, that's easy
ReplyDeleteObviously, but who *accepts* it?
ReplyDeleteAn XL model?? Really? You're intentionally trying to be as unlikeable as possible, you've got to be. It's not even worth criticizing anymore, you're in full blown self parody mode now.
ReplyDeleteSomeone has to be the head of his estate?
ReplyDeleteIf The Authority's "B+" thing was real, it would have to apply to Edge. IMO. Very good, but just not quite top level.
ReplyDeleteVince never won the World Heavyweight title nor did he main event a Wrestlemania.
ReplyDeleteprobably Lawler, maybe with Jimmy Hart too.
ReplyDeleteBob Einstein who basically is known as Super Dave Osborne for the rest of his life now (and I miss those shows).
ReplyDeleteIt all comes back to what's the incentive for WWE to induct Andy Kaufman? No personal appearance, no footage, no speech.
ReplyDeleteI think either the Horsemen or the nWo are good number ones. it just depends on whether you think the "business side" or the "creative side" is more important.
ReplyDeleteFarooq is the man!
ReplyDeleteVince vs. Hogan
ReplyDeleteVince vs. Bret
Vince vs. Shawn
None of those were main events? I can't recall if they were or not. I know none of them ended a WM, but Rock vs Hogan didn't end one either, and we all know that was the real main event.
Edge is great and his 2006 run proved (to me at least) that he is a "legitimate" main event worker.
ReplyDeleteMcMahon vs. Hogan might be the closest one, it didn't end the show, but it got a lot of focus and is even the match featured on the front cover of the dvd.
ReplyDeleteWorking my way through wwe ppvs in 2002 (finishing up Judgment Day 2002) and man was the roster loaded with talent and star power at the time. Shame the main eventers were ego maniacs who were having shitty main events while guys like Angle, Eddie, Edge, RVD and the cruiserweights were having kickass matches on the undercard.
ReplyDeleteBtw most 2002 ppvs have no timelines which suck.
I work when the stock market is open so NO WEEKEND WORK FOR THE BIG GUY!!
ReplyDelete:shakes head:
ReplyDeleteOh Andrew.....
I'm still angry at this list.
ReplyDeletenWo should have been 1. Horseman and dX are fighting for 2 and 3.
And where's the LWO?
That's what happens when you let Hunter write a history book.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking that, some random question tied to something on the schedule like favorite Slamboree PPV or Favorite WCW PPV from 96 to tie in with Slamboree 96 on there. Just some random for commentors to latch onto.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the other 2 were just on the middle of the card.
ReplyDeleteI smell ratings gold.
ReplyDeleteHe has the best episode of Norm Macdonald Live... love that guy.
ReplyDeleteUnless you have the network, I'm not sure. Bayless and Meekin don't have any threads to talk in.
ReplyDeleteBruno, Hogan. Austin, Cena.
ReplyDeleteI'm jonesing to go fishing. Let me catch a rock bass about the size of my hand and I'll be happy.
ReplyDeleteAndre, Hogan, Austin, Vince
ReplyDeleteI love fish and aquariums, but I hate to touch them. Im odd. Davey Boy would sum it up as BIIIZZZZZAAARREEEE!!!
ReplyDelete(if only wrestlers eligible)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous George, Bruno, Hogan, Austin.
Didn't we do this already like 6 months ago?
ReplyDeleteVince, Hogan, Flair, Austin.
Watch some wrestling brah!
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't like to touch fish either, mainly because when I was a kid, I held one that I caught and when it was squirming around, I believe one of its scales cut me.
ReplyDeleteI don't like to touch them with my bare hands either, I always use a rag. And when I was a kid I tore my hand open on a catfish, no one was there to tell me that their fins are like razor blades.
ReplyDeleteLol what...that's pathetic abeyance
ReplyDeletebut how weird is it that they have much more time to fill but instead of more different matches we get the same pairings over and over again?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so. It's not like he was portrayed as a drunk, right? "Indian Warrior" is pretty tactful for the WWF.
ReplyDeleteOf course, i'm not a Native, so i'm not sure I can have an opinion on it.
On the WWE network!
ReplyDeleteOr go to the New Legendary's videos on YouTube and watch them humorously watch wrestling games.
That's why you are a man of the people
ReplyDeleteI don't have the network.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say, I'm a whimp that doesn't like to get physically hurt.
ReplyDeleteWait...that wasn't how they referred to Cryme Tyme?
ReplyDeleteUmm... Not weird at all? There are only so many combinations possible, and unless they give up big money matches for free, the same pairings will inevitably wrestle several times. It's a nearly impossible scenario for the writers, that's why I give them a lot of slack. There is only so much you can do.
ReplyDeleteHogan, Austin, Rock, Cena.
ReplyDeleteEveryone's list should contain the first three names I listed.
Yeah, same with me on the sharpness of them.
ReplyDeleteMan Ivory is hotter than I remember her being. Back then I remember thinking she was supposed to be ugly or extra athletic looking. She's looking good at summerslam though
ReplyDeleteSounds good, fishing can be fun.
ReplyDeleteVince McMahon, Hulk Hogan, Andre The Giant, Gorgeous George
ReplyDeleteI simply cannot put Steve Austin up there. His run was way too short and his impact will not be anywhere near as far reaching as the guys I listed.
They still could have done that idea in 2006 when Tatanka had that brief comeback. It's baffling that Tatanka and JBL were on the same show and that show's main writers (Michael Hayes and Court Bauer) were guys who knew their wrestling history and knew how to book heels and yet Tatanka and JBL had no on-air interaction whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteYou stabbed that fish in the mouth with a hook, pulled into an environment where it can't breathe and then gutted it with a blade and cooked and ate it. It squirmed in your hand and gave you a cut. I'd say you went over.
ReplyDeletePeople call me a pussy when I bitch about getting burned. Like, fuck off, hot grease in the face fucking hurts. I'm weird like that, I never cut myself, but I get burnt constantly.
ReplyDeleteMore like 3, but it's still fun to do.
ReplyDeleteYouTube it dude!
ReplyDeleteAlso get high if you're not already
ReplyDeleteWell ok then....
ReplyDeleteAndre having more impact on wrestling than Austin is untrue.
ReplyDeleteWas supposed to go Monday, my boy picked me up and his car shit out on him at the end of my street. I was pissed.
ReplyDeleteAndre was a major draw for 2 decades in numerous territories, and was an integral part in drawing the Silverdome crowd.
ReplyDeleteSelf-fulfilling prophecy. They say they can't do it because they have so much TV time to fill but they do it anyway. We DO have a new jobber class. That's what Tyson Kidd and Jack Swagger exist for. The only difference is that today those guys get some actual exposure and the occasional win. Tyson has an in with the company through Nattie and by extension Total Divas, and Swagger will always receive a mini-push because of his size and status as a former champ but is basically this generation's Barbarian (good enough to maul Zach Ryder, not good enough to beat anybody else).
ReplyDeleteHulk Hogan - biggest mainstream star ever, Cactus Jack - father of hardcore wrestling, Shawn Michaels - greatest in-ring wrestler that ever lived and Jerry Lawler one of the greatest all around talents of all time and the father of Memphis wrestling where just about every name of importance in the 80s and 90s came through
ReplyDeleteVince, Hogan, Andre, Flair
ReplyDeleteWell, it got away. It was one of those places where you just rerelease it, which I think makes it worse for the fish.
ReplyDeleteYou high right now?
ReplyDeleteAgreed. But not that last guy.
ReplyDeleteHas any variation of this angle ever been done well? It seems like it would work in theory - the guy defending the title gets the heat of the champion, can establish himself as a top guy, gets over with the fans, and then has a logical explanation for turning heel. Seems like it should work.
ReplyDeleteAustin being number 1 for merch sales EVER when he was only on top for such a short time is quite impactful. Think about that. Hogan, from 85 - 00. Then again from 02-03, and some new merch whenever he showed back up. Austin, 97-02 sold more than Hogan.
ReplyDeleteThat's INSANE to think about.
And I just like to keep my hands clean, I'm ODC about that shit, it's the cook in me. I keep a big bottle of hand sanitizer in my tackle box at all times.
ReplyDeleteYeah, mostly avoid knifes, but get burnt somehow.
ReplyDeleteI had to transplant a pleco that was about 8-9 inches from one tank to another recently, it was a complete goat show. Damn things lay perfectly still till you get near them and then flip out and go flying everywhere.
ReplyDeleteNow that I think about it, I don't think I had Flair up there 3-6 months ago...the BoD were talking about A+ and how only A+ should go on the Mount Rushmore...
ReplyDeleteImpactful on his and Vince's wallets, yes. But I think Andre will be remembered much longer than Steve Austin.
ReplyDeleteAustin was the main reason for the biggest boom in wrestling history.
ReplyDeleteLength doesn't matter.
Wow you could not find any more middle of the pack Chris Jericho stuff to put on a Wrestlemania rewind....why not his XIX match with Shawn or something?
ReplyDeleteHonestly for one of the greatest wrestlers of our time, Jericho has just not had a great go of it at Mania. I'd have liked to see him get a crack at Undertaker one of the years they wasted like the Mark Henry casket match or the A-Train/Nathan Jones tag team thing - I know that was the HBK/Michaels WM year.
Also, BOD unblocked at work, yippee!
This is the new Montreal/Invasion, on loop every 3 months :/
ReplyDeleteGoing on 'importance'
Austin, Hogan, Flair, Cena
Don't really know enough about Andre and don't think Rock was important enough
No I'm at work and I'd feel bad doing it stoned.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's how you improve this, you make this both a daily update, a QOTD, and a Network thread.
ReplyDeleteOr was it the rise of the nWo?
ReplyDeleteTell that to the basketball owner that had his team taken from him
ReplyDeleteWho would try to block this site?
ReplyDeleteThere is NO WAY Cena is on that list. Yes, he is the face of the company at the moment and for the past decade but he has never had the impact of a Hogan, Austin, Rock, Andre or a Flair. The guys I mentioned were box office juggernauts, mainstream stars or in-ring legends. Cena is NOT any of that.
ReplyDeleteThat HAS to be the reason doesn't it?
ReplyDeletewell, many here at least believed in the push they gave him.
ReplyDeletethat's why Hell in a Cell 2012 was one of the very few ppvs to do better than the year before: the main event had actual suspense to it (will they really kill off Ryback's undefeated streak? or will they really have Punk lose his title at the show? or is it gonna be just some crazy "no contest"?).
They do have one of the XIX match, its on its own show.
ReplyDeleteThey're the three biggest stars in wrestling history. That's why.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm sure technically I could be. Its 9 am and I smoked at 1 last. Also if you consider nicotine a drug I could be on it
ReplyDeleteJudgment Day 2002 I think has the biggest gulf between blow away on paper quality and in ring mediocrity of any WWE PPV. It looks awesome but is pretty meh.
ReplyDeleteI often forget just how big Swagger actually is. Had he been pushed better, he absolutely could have been a main eventer. Other than mic skillz (which Zeb can handle), he pretty much has all the tools. Too little, too late though.
ReplyDelete:: Sigh ::
ReplyDeleteWe had a SUPER restrictive webfilter. TheDissolve, The Onion, Kotaku with the secure binding and Facebook with the secure binding were my work timekillers. Now Sherdog and Bleacher Report and all this other stuff is open. I had to BOD from my phone before.
ReplyDeleteCatch and release fishing is fucked up. You're a sadist dude
ReplyDeleteDid they bundle it with another match?
ReplyDeleteI thought the Jericho vs. Legends WM25 match was mostly just a crappy compromise since Mickey Rourke's management wouldn't let him wrestle.
Considering that the Brood ranked 2nd on factions, fans have already forgotten about Andre.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want hot grease any where near me either. Don't blame you on that one. But I'll squeeze the shit of some flopping ass fish
ReplyDeleteBob Backlund, Jesse Ventura, Linda McMahon, and Abraham Lincoln.
ReplyDeleteThey're the only wrestlers I can think of that legit ran for public office (no, Hogan's "presidential campaign" in November 1998 doesn't count).
Yikes
ReplyDelete*teaches abeyance secret top 5 shake*
ReplyDeleteThe September show outside of the kennel from hell match is really good. The video package to the main event is still one of the best videos the wwe ever made.
ReplyDeleteHis match vs Christian at wm20 was really good too
ReplyDeleteHogan, Flair, Austin, Rock
ReplyDeleteI don't like it, but I think Cena will be on that list soon. He's been on top for so long now that Cena IS Hogan for the younger fans. And when his heel turn happens, it should be (it better be!) glorious.
ReplyDeletegorgeous George, Hogan, Flair, Austin
ReplyDeleteHogan, Flair, Vince - definitely.
ReplyDeleteThe fourth spot could be debated among Austin, Rock, Thesz, Race.
You're job done fucked up bro
ReplyDeleteHow so? Throw that shit back, catch his ass again when he gets bigger. I fish for sport and toss everything back, except gobies, by law if you catch one of them you can't toss it back. I give them to the seagulls and bet on the outcome of the fight.
ReplyDeleteWhat's cool about this discussion is that ALL of us has Hogan. There's not a single list from us that doesn't have Hogan on it.
ReplyDeleteAustin, Vince, and Flair are the next ones on most people's lists. Then we have Andre, Rock, and Cena as the next tier.
Rock - Most successful star wrestling has ever produced
ReplyDeleteAustin - Arguably biggest star ever within wrestling
Hogan - Arguably biggest star ever within wrestling and was the key factor wrestling because part of mainstream entertainment, most iconic/household name wrestler ever.
Flair - Generally considered the greatest wrestler ever and the greatest world champion ever.
That would be my four anyway :)
Lol shamrock and Blackman are fighting with numchucks and shit
ReplyDeleteHogan
ReplyDeleteAustin
Rock
Bruno
In 20-30 years, Triple H might be on the list. Great wrestler and possibly great booker/CEO of the WWE.
ReplyDeleteYeah Hogan seems be the universal choice for everyone... impossible to argue otherwise. Agreed on the tiers.
ReplyDeleteThe only problem with that list is that your disqualifying 80 years of wrestling.
ReplyDeleteSub Rico for Billy Gunn and I'm in.
ReplyDeleteJerry Lawler ran for mayor of Memphis in the 90s.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to do some variation on this question once a week or so but I'll go Flair Hogan Austin Rock
ReplyDeleteHe's on there.
ReplyDeleteIs mount Rushmore supposed to be our 4 best presidents? Or just 4 randomly popular presidents?
ReplyDeleteWhat I'd like to see happen is HHH pulling a Vince McMahon and putting his own shine on what the WWE will be in the future. That's what Jr. did with Sr.'s business.
ReplyDeleteBut he would have won a match that he should have lost "31 to 41 years ago".
ReplyDeleteAlso, no one else really wants the job...
ReplyDeleteNo he won't.
ReplyDeleteThey also unblocked the Network. They're super fucked.
ReplyDeleteMy weekend disappears constantly with events that need to be covered and minions who whine about working weekends. Shit, I was at work on Memorial Day, making sure everything got done for the week. I was accompanied by a couple Clash of the Champions events.
ReplyDeleteI fucking suck with knives.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Buddy Rogers, Lou Thesz, Harley Race, and Bruno Sammartino were the foundations of wrestling during their eras; however, the national stage was built by McMahon and Turner; therefore, their building blocks should be recognized.
ReplyDeleteI am a well known non fan of Christian but I'll concede that's probably Christian's best match or in the top two or three.
ReplyDeletenext time, a discussion about how dbry got screwed in montreal during the inVasion angle!
ReplyDeleteRico is one of those guys you forget was a thing until someone mentions him.
ReplyDeleteI suppose you mean Bruno? The main problem is that wrestling is so niche that we don't know the history of the ones who started it all very well.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like baseball where Babe Ruth happened to be the greatest baseball player ever, next to Honus Wagner. Followed by Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio, etc. Plus baseball was so big, everything was documented.
Or basketball, Bill Russell, the Big O, Wilt, George Mikan.
Or football, Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas, Paul Horning.
"Well Vince deserves losing all that money now"
ReplyDeletehe didnt actually lose it
he knows where it is
it's right there on the table, where he left it
Nope it was on its own
ReplyDeleteJust watched JD02 and I still don't get why they had him & Rikishi win the tag titles. I know the angle was punishing B&C, but just seemed so pointless.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been paying much attention lately, but it seems to me The Authority should totally strip Bryan of the title. Doing so puts even more heel heat on HHH and Stephanie, creates the opportunity for a WWE World Title Tournament (tournaments are awesome!) and allows Bryan to "chase" once he's healthy again, which is clearly the best position for his character.
ReplyDeleteDude, really? I'm off today and the "Amsterdam" ain't there because I'm Dutch. Believe me, I'm properly medicated right now.
ReplyDeleteThese dudes need to fuck off with these lawnmowers too.
a hick
ReplyDeleteand when doc oc took over for spidey
ReplyDeleteWCW didn't deliver on tons of matches that were sitting right there on the table. They could have had challengers for Goldberg for days they didn't use (Savage, Flair, Luger, Sting, etc...) but they did Goldberg vs. Hennig and stuff instead.
ReplyDeleteIf you did a mount Rushmore of BoD trolls does dougie go on twice as dannytreo and dougie or just once?
ReplyDeleteI'd go Elvy, Dougie (as a representive of all his various identities), a random spam bot, and then I'd have to think harder about who goes in the anti smark gimmick spot. Steve Stennick really only posted a few times, Vince Jordan is too new with the gimmick plus dougie covers the whole npp crew so if you put on vj you might have to bump the spam bot for buckdiddy. I'd like to represent all types of trolls. I don't know, maybe I would put dougie on twice...
There is a lot of pointless to go around in that angle
ReplyDeleteWould caliber be considered a troll now?
ReplyDeleteI know I've made plenty of NSFW comments...
ReplyDeletequit downvoting me punk... i actually did consider mentioning you, too, you baby
ReplyDeleteprobably wouldn't be worth it as whatever I watch will probably need to be start and stop with the actual work.
ReplyDeleteBruno, Lou thesz, Harley race, gorgeous George, all these guys were giants
ReplyDeleteI remember the blog post about this suggestion a few years back, with the idea being that the corrupt Native American casino owner would be buying back America "one dollar at a time."
ReplyDeleteI, too, am surprised this gimmick has yet to be a thing. Far more interesting than some of the other gimmicks they have in developmental like Solomon "I Guess He's A Hacker?" Crowe.
they cant figure out whether he goes in as the token dead guy or not. the sightings have been inconsistent
ReplyDeleteThe last 30 years are worth more than the first 80 years?
ReplyDeleteAbraham Lincoln should be on both!!
ReplyDelete...no tony garea?
ReplyDeleteNo that goes under like dramatic BoD personalities. That would be an interesting mount Rushmore.
ReplyDeletehis rumored daughter
ReplyDeleteI liked the straight-edge gimmick better. Sorry, 'lax, but the "shitting on Meekin" thing just isn't getting over.
ReplyDeleteI do for one, which is why I posted it. If you want to rehash this stuff knock yourself out. I'm just trying to have some fun...I know how dare I in a thread this serious
ReplyDeleteSo they left money on the table is what you are saying.
ReplyDeleteYou have put quite a bit of thought into this. I am impressed.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with this one too.
ReplyDeleteIt's not any different than how people only know Michael Jordan as the greatest, instead of Russell, Wilt, or even Kareem.
ReplyDeleteOr Peyton and Brady over Unitas, Bradshaw, and even Aikman.
Baseball less so, but Barry Bonds is arguably top 10. Possibly Albert Pujols. Clements is considered one of the best pitches of all time.
People barely remember Joe Louis was like the greatest boxer ever, until Ali talked himself into the best spot (he's great no doubt, but the best ever?) Marciano is more well-known for retiring undefeated. For god sakes, Lennox Lewis is considered one of the GREATEST! Like WTF?! No way Lewis should be up there. The Klitschkos make more sense since they destroy anybody in front of them, while Lewis struggled much more than he should have.
It's just the nature of things. By the time people on this board has grand children, Cena will be the Hogan, and nobody will care about Hogan, Flair, or possibly even Austin.
I just took a lookie loo at the mount Rushmore thread... didn't we just do that, and I could have sworn wrestling existed before 1984.
ReplyDeleteBruno, Hogan, Flair, Austin. Never seen any Bruno stuff, just going on the legend. If not him and going with someone I've seen I'd say Rock
ReplyDeleteThats actually quite accurate in my opinion....dead on
ReplyDeleteIt isn't a gimmick I just really dislike him... judging by the comments in his threads I'm not alone.
ReplyDeleteNow go poison yourself and realize parallax is better than you. Also I fuck wives or something. Is that more what you prefer?
Bruno and Hogan are the only obvious ones to me. I don't know if any era before Bruno needs to be represented, and I don't know who that'd be anyway. Either Rock or Austin should be there to rep wrestling's most recent boom period, but I'm not sure if both should be there, because if Hogan and Bruno are locks you're leaving Flair off.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm saying Bruno, Flair, Hogan and please don't put a gun to my head and make me choose between Stone Cold and Rock.
The wwe should use this lions den gimmick again. It actually looks good and it leads to some good matches.
ReplyDeleteShe did a good job as Savage's valet in 1999, but I think there are more deserving candidates.
ReplyDeleteHogan, Flair, Vince, Cena
ReplyDeleteAndre, Hogan , Flair and Bruno. . .
ReplyDeleteBruce Chung made my whole point as far as main eventing Wrestlemania.....just as nobody remembers the "main event/who wrestled last" at WM 24, 25, or 26....They remember at 24 HBK wrestled Flair, and at 25-26 HBK-UT.....by the way, Vince did win the WWE title not World heavyweight title (but really who gives a f***) but same point
ReplyDeletePerhaps we should separate this into four different Mount Rushmores - one each for WWE, NWA/WCW, ECW and AWA. So you might get something like this:
ReplyDeleteWWE: Hogan, Vince, Austin, Rock
NWA/WCW: Thesz, Flair, Race, and....?
ECW: Taz, Sabu, RVD, Douglas
AWA: Gagne, Bockwinkle, Vachon, and maybe Crusher?
Scotty doesn't deserve to be in that. At least he was fun and had an over move!
ReplyDeleteJust for the fuck of it, I applied to a position that requires a degree even though it's entry level, I don't have a degree yet, and to be honest I didn't expect to get a reply back. So should I even bother with the interview seeing as more than likely their going to assume I have one?
ReplyDeleteThat's gotta be sting
ReplyDeleteECW without Sandman?
ReplyDeleteI"m not allowed to have a staple puller at work because I reached my hand into the desk drawer one day and it came out attached to my hand...good times. Actually I'm not allowed to have any sharp objects here, sucks to be a klutz.
ReplyDeleteBetter yet... Mick Foley, Mankind, Cactus Jack, and Dude Love
ReplyDeleteThen its kind of a shitty mount Rushmore isn't it?
