    Biggest letdown

    I'm gonna go ahead and say (probably) the most obvious choice: The InVasion storyline. Remember what the last image was on the final WCW Monday Nitro? An advertisement for WrestleMania 17. The ECW/WCW Alliance should have won the Survivor Series match. Turn all the WWF programming into...

    Striker Managing Rhodes Scholars: Could It Work?

    This right here. Heenan would usually start the interview segment (introduction), then let his talent handle the bulk of the segment (main talking/focus point), the either him or his wrestler would close out the segment (conclusion). Striker could act as a representative of Rhodes/Sandow...

    **MERGED** All Ryback Discussion (Keep all of it in here!!)

    To me Ryback is a combination of Goldberg and Ultimate Warrior. If I were booking (and I'm echoing a comment I posted elsewhere - either here on the forums or in a comment), I'd have him winning the US and Intercontinental Titles first. Not necessarily merging them, but defending BOTH belts as...

    Major Creative Changes To WWE

    How many times do we need to see Cena vs Punk? I have to agree with Punk and his view on respect here. How many times does he need to beat Cena in order to earn respect? Hell In A Cell has more or less become your standard cage match. With HIAC I WANT BLOOD! This type of match should be...

    WWE PPV Lineup Discussion (Gimmicks, number of shows, etc KEEP IT ALL IN HERE!!!!)

    Hell In A Cell has lost its luster. It's more or less become a standardized cage match, instead of being truly "Hell." There's no bloodshed or ooh/ahh factor to it anymore, nor does it end/settle any feuds. Just like the Elimination Chamber match is a water-downed version of War Games, with a...

    All Future Wrestlemania Discussion (Matches, Gimmicks, Angles.... KEEP IT IN HERE!)

    If Rock were to win the WWE Title, I think he'd be booked similar to David Arquette's WCW Title reign. He'll make appearances with the belt at various functions/shows, showing off the belt, bragging about being WWE Champion, etc. Only thing is, I think "Dwayne" would get a pass at getting away...

    The lack of Japanese wrestlers in WWE

    Plus (correct me if I'm wrong), the Japanese see wrestling more on an athletic scale and not the "entertainment" aspect that WWE spoon-feeds us (it's seen more as a sport instead of sports entertainment). I remember watching Allen Coage (Bad News Brown) on a pay-per-view in the early 90's that...

    Which Mania Had The Wrong Main Event?

    WrestleMania IX: Hogan vs Yokozuna - Too bad that Hogan had to pull his creative card/stroke his ego/whatever and take the title away from Yokozuna. He had no business being there/pulling that, especially given the fact that he pretty much wasn't seen/defended the title until he lost it back to...

    What were the best WCW pay per view events?

    This one right here, as I was actually there for that one. Plus, I made camera on the pay-per-view broadcast (but not the actual video release - why WCW/Turner Home Entertainment had two different camera crews, I'll never know...). Honorable Mentions: Bash At The Beach 1996 (birth of nWo)...

    Remembering "Macho Man" Randy Savage: One Year Later

    I, too, find it hard to believe that it's been a year since Randy Savage has gone on to the sold out stadium in the sky. Favorite Macho Man moment...WrestleMania III against Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat for the IC title. Those two put on a CLINIC of what a WRESTLING match should be. Quite...

    Brooke Hogan Joining TNA/IW As Executive In Charge of the Knockouts

    So with Brooke Hogan joining forces with TNA, how long before Dixie Carter and the rest of the Egomaniacs decide to use one of her massive hit singles - and I'm using that terminology very....very loosely here - as the theme song for IW?

    Your favorite Stone Cold tactic feuding against Vince McMahon?

    THIS RIGHT HERE! Even at the age of thirty-five, I still laugh my ass off when Austin hits McMahon with the bedpan. Probably the greatest part of that whole scene.

    Pick One: WWF vs WCW

    Royal Rumble (match) or War Games (match) While the Royal Rumble was the one to elevate the next big star/the next contender for whatever title they choose to go after post-Monday Night War/brand split era in WWF/WWE, War Games was the end-all, end-of-the-line/feud finisher for WCW, and to me...

    The Wrestling Album and Piledriver

    I remember when both of these came out. The cassette version came in an LP-sized cover (or at least the ones I got from K-Mart back in the day). I was saddened when both went out of print, but I still have the cassette version of Piledriver (that I ripped onto my computer for future generations...

    WWE After WrestleMania 28

    What scares me the most is....Where does John Cena go from here? Love him or hate him, what is there left for him to do/accomplish and who does he feud with next? There is nobody - repeat, NOBODY - left that can be seen as a credible opponent/threat. Pretty much Cena is done...
