Honestly, I don't recognize most of Flair's title reigns as world titles. And I don't recognize any of Harley Race's or Bruno Sammartino's either. From the moment the WWWF split with the NWA until Hogan beat the Iron Sheik, there was no world title in my opinion. I don't care what anyone says...

I like the idea of heel Miz as IC champ. He's generating a ton of heat, and I think he could have a great, long run as Honky Tonk Man type champ. However, the timing is wrong for a few reasons… (1) All the signs point to Lesnar winning the world title and keeping it until Wrestlemania...

The difference is Sandow is a pretty good PRO wrestler (actually I think he's a damn good one). In a real wrestling match Haas would win in about 5 seconds.

Everyone will probably tell me I'm crazy, but I'll go with the Miz. He would be the most hated heal, and I feel like he could get straddle the line between Vickie Guerrero heat and X-Pac heat perfectly.

Assuming the plan is still for Lesnar to take the belt at Summerslam, and then have Reigns beat Lesnar at Mania, I think it makes sense for Reigns to be the man to beat Rusev, but not until around the Rumble. Continue to build up Rusev, so Reigns win will seem like an accomplishment giving him...

It doesn't matter, because they are fake titles. They are props. I think Kevin Nash called out Flair for claiming he was a badass for being a 16 time world champion when it's a fake title and offering to fight Flair in a shoot. And he had a point, because Nash (and many, many other wrestlers)...

The Rock has not left wrestling. Idiot wrestling fans have no idea how much love he shows the industry by returning, even if it's just for a few events a year. He's a legitimate movie star, making more money per film than the biggest wrestlers make in a year (or even more). And the film...

Sorry, but the Taker's streak should not have ever ended, and the legends in the business should not go out with losses. Hogan should have beaten Rock. Rock should have beaten Cena the 2nd time. And there are countless examples. I know people say you need to go out putting someone over, but...

Razor Ramon era Scott Hall could have been the perfect wrestler. In terms of his wrestling arsenal, there were no weaknesses…great in the ring and on the mic, plus the "it" factor. His personal issues obviously got in the way, but taking that out of the equation, he had everything to be the...

I've worked in the film business for several years, and while I wouldn't say his career bombed, I think the most disappointing acting career belongs to Roddy Piper. Before people get upset, let me explain… There is one huge movie star in the history of wrestling, Dwayne Johnson (who is...

Heenan is clearly well respected as one of the greatest entertainers in wrestling history. He also seems to be the consensus #1 manager of all time in the opinions of damn near everybody (even Jim Cornette, who has quite an ego, and I find to be a grossly overrated manager, said that he hopes...

I recently rewatched a match between the prime, WWF versions of the Macho Man and Jake the Snake. I thought it was a great match, not surprising considering it was two all timers in their prime (although they were both heels, which was a surprise, and the crowd was way behind Jake, which is...

While I'd guess he was on the juice during his WWF run (as I think most guys were during the Golden Age), I remember seeing a clip of a young Brutus Beefcake in his pre-WWF days (sorry, I can't remember the promotion) where the guy was Rick Rude ripped. Regardless of time in the gym and...

I have to respectfully disagree. In some circumstances you can recycle gimmicks, and have them work. For example, Bray Wyatt and Damien Sandow (recycled versions of Waylon Mercy and The Genius, respectively). But Wyatt and Sandow are working with their gimmicks because (1) they're good...

The Wyatt Family vignettes have been creating a lot of buzz, and rightfully so. In my opinion, they are up there with the introductory vignettes for Mr. Perfect and Ted Dibiase as the best of all time. I'm not saying or predicting that Bray Wyatt will go on to have a career like those of...
