If consistently second you mean for the one year he was champion then yes. After dropping the title to Hogan he sat next to Zeus for a while then feuded with Dusty Rhodes in the mid card. I don't know who is telling you Savage was on par with Hogan in terms of drawing power, but please inform...

The only way I can see this playing out is your standard High Flyer vs SHW match semi squash match. Tiger Mask hits two maybe three flying moves that Vader takes with relative ease. Vader hits a few moves, decides to use the street fight rules and power bombs poor Tiger Mask on a chair. Vader...

Interesting comment in saying Hart is prone to choking in big matches. Not sure where you are getting that from. Plus, its not as if Randy Savage was invincible in big main events. Actually, you could seriously downplay all of his title reigns and most of his main events. His biggest...

Excellent point. At the time PRIDE was acquired by Zuffa both companies had most of their main attractions start their decline. The aging PRIDE stars like Big Nog and Silva had to come over and fight a fresh crop of fighters. Nog did excellent taking out Sylvia and Herring but running into Cain...

Glad you said this. HBK vs Mankind at Mind Games is what I call the best match no one considers a candidate for best match. I'm not even sure the non finish ruins it. If I remember correctly, at the time, Mankind was either undefeated or close to it. He made Taker pass out to the Mandible Claw...

I do love me some Hulk Hogan. Its hard to rank his matches because I sort of like em all. I celebrate the man's entire catalog. 10. Hulk Hogan vs Earthquake at Summerslam 90 I remember what a great job they did with making people (or just me) believe Hogan was finished. He was going to get...

Barrett and Otunga are more than enough to watch even with Bryan gone. Barrett has more polish on the mic than anyone on that show and has an awesome style in the ring. Justin Gabriel out pops Bryan every week so the WWE fans won't abandon this show just because Bryan is gone. I was suprised...

Kimbo definitely gassed himself from the slams, but thats not the only reason he lost. First, he was not doing fine from the top, he was doing nothing. Also, as soon as they were back up, he was eating leg kicks like crazy. Even if he didn't gas he would have been TKOed from his inability to...

They were trash talking back and forth leading into the fight. Not uncommon, but they took it to a new level. Daley apparently wasn't use to the head games and got a little too frustrated. After Koscheck continued the trash talk during the fight and Daley was rendered ineffective through three...

I'm all for non title PPV Main Events if the feud can be built up to make it a legit main event. Back in the day (for me anyway) matches like Mega Powers (Hogan and Savage) vs Mega Bucks (Andre the Giant and Million Dollar Man) were more than worthy of headlining SummerSlam. I know that Savage...

First, I disagree that Koscheck is pussy shit as you put it. He definitely did not get hit and put on some theatrics, but he did it to try to get a point taken away, not because he was scared. Now I'm not saying that is ok. For one, its a cheap way to eek out a decision. Two, when combined with...

NorCal! Miss chatting with you bro. You said pretty much what I was trying to spit out. I think my initial post came off a little too nice. The show NXT itself, is awful, the participants are not. The worst part is Barrett, Gabriel, Young, and Bryan could probably be over by now. Instead they...

I don't think MITB counts as hot potato for the World Title in the same way WCW did to devalue their title. MITB establishes that concept right off the bat. The build up to the match stresses how important it is to be able to take advantage of a champion and pin them while they are hurt. The...

The NXT final four will actually be very intriguing. I think Barret, Bryan, Young, Otunga, and Gabriel all have good futures ahead of them. If I had to pick the final four now 1. Wade Barrett In my opinion he is far and away the best competitor on NXT. He has the size, the look, and the skill...

I love top ten lists! Can't believe I've been missing this for over a year. 1. George St. Pierre If you have any other fighter here, you are biased/wrong 2. Jon Fitch Other than his beating from the number one fighter, he hasn't come close to losing. You can point to Mike Pyle catching him but...
