Macho Man / Survivor Series 91 and 93 Questions

Quick question regarding Macho Man Randy Savage and Survivor Series 91 and 93.   Watching back at the buildups for these shows on the Network and it seems like a no-brainer given his rivalry with Jake in '91 and Crush in '93 that he would've ended up in the main event tag matches thus making them ...

Presenting Like a Sport

Scott, WWE already uses sports terms (draft, free agent, iron clad contract etc..) why not take advantage of that for story telling? John Cena is currently a free agent. I don't think that term means what they think it means. In reality, he's not getting paid. Why not play with the Idea that contracts are ...

The Un-Deadpool

Hey Scott, I remember for a couple of good years, I was positive Jeff Hardy was not going to make the turn of the decade. Considering the MYRIAD of wrestlers that just up and died during that time, I was kinda shocked he not only made it this long but managed to still semi-actively compete. ...

dusty/ole

Scott, Do you think Dusty had finally developed a quality roster to book by early '92 before Bill Watts came in with his vision?  Company still loses money, but, morale probably does not deteriorate as rapidly if they have random Turner executive in charge of Dusty rather than Watts.  Plus, I think Dusty could have ...

The SmarK Rant for WWE Live in Saskatoon–02.09.18

WWE Live Event – Saskatoon 02.09.18 So once again WWE stopped by, as we’re apparently on an “every six months” rotation now due to big attendance numbers, and it’s doubly amazing because tonight was hellishly cold and yet WWE still came close to selling out the lower bowl of Sasktel Centre. Pretty darn impressive. Merchandise-wise, ... Read more from Scotts Blog of Doom! http://ift.tt/2nXuB3j via IFTTT

Repost: Biggest, Smallest, Strangest, Strongest!

Pancrase badassery

You talked about how Suzuki is and was a legend. Not questioning that. But on the old wiki they are counting Pancrase fights.  What’s the deal? Real? Fake? Unrelated note. Have you ever reviewed Collision in Korea? May be interesting especially since what we know now about the Hermit Kingdom. ​The Observers of the time ...

NY Daily News Wrestling Column from the 90’s

Hey Scott, Back in the 90's, the NY Daily News had a wrestling column every Friday which I looked forward to reading every week since I was a kid who loved wrestling. The author was simply known as The Slammer, and his even self-portrait author photo was just a picture of a masked wrestler. The ...

Diesel’s Heel Turn in 1995

What was the story behind Diesel's heel turn in 1995 after he lost at Survivor Series?  Was that something they came up with at the last minute or had in their mind the whole time he was WWF Champion?  Did they have bigger plans for him before he gave notice to leave for WCW? ​It ...
