Hi Scott, Does it seem weird that heels, especially heel world champions, would throw it in people's faces that they are the reason that attendance is so high?

Wouldn't it have made more sense for GAB '88 to be headlined by Flair vs Sting since Sting had a claim as having been the guy to take Flair to the limit, and a grudge match between Luger and Windham since Luger had been turned on by Windham (no homo).

Since everyone loves tournaments on the Network, I came up with two concepts: 1. The Iron Mike Sharpe Tournament for enhancement talent  2.

What are the chances that WWE uses this opportunity to do a Balor Club reunion and have Gallows/Anderson help Finn beat AJ.

Scott, It seems weird now, but there was a brief moment in late-July and early-August 1996 that Ahmed Johnson looked like the next biggest thing in wrestling.  Up to that point, the WWF had done a great job of emphasizing his strengths (look, charisma, intensity) and hiding his weaknesses (promos, long matches).  And in the ...
