    WWE Summerslam 2014: General Discussion & Aftermath

    Well there were several good reasons that Stephanie looked lost 10 years ago. Those reasons were named Trish, Lita, Victoria, Molly Holly, et al. Now, 10 years later, no bumps (except for baby bumps), and working out with hubby not to let herself go; along with the fact that this crop of divas...

    A Wrestling What If - CESARO vs RUSEV

    On paper, it's a great idea. However, right now, you need Rusev continue to go over, but start struggling to do so. To have him face off with Cesaro, would stall his momentum. Although the bloom off Big E's rose has worn off some time before he officially lost to Bad News Barrett, he still...

    Will AJ lose her title and/or leave WWE shortly?

    That is correct. Jacqueline was WWE Women's Champion back in 1998 a few years after Alundra Blaze (Medusa Miceli) went on Nitro to throw the belt in a trash can. Also, Jazz was a two time champion in the early 00s, and Layla was a Women's and Diva's titleholder as well (okay, technically she's...

    When Heels Fight Heels

    The best heel vs heel actually started in Japan (not sure who was the face or heel there), but when they got to the States, they were definitely heels. WrestleWar 1991 in WCW; Vader vs Hansen. Great match. Period.

    The Bushwhackers As The Sheepherders In The WWF

    I agree with you Brain. My future ex-wife thought that they were adorable. I used to chuckle at her, and used the quote Bill Cosby used in his standup movie "Himself"; "These are just two old people trying to get into heaven.". The worst was one time on SCW (Southwest Championship Wrestling)...

    Bob Backlund's 2nd championship win

    The dynamics of that whole title change were in several layers. 1. They wanted to put Diesel in the driver's seat as "the face of the WWF", without having Bret lose. 2. They gave Bob Backlund their version of a "Lifetime Achievement Award". 3. They wanted to jumpstart the feud between Owen...

    Potential HOF-er's

    I think it's too soon to be talking about current wrestlers to get in the Hall yet. As far as Christian is concerned, right now (to use a line from ESPN 2's Skip Bayless), he's in the Hall of Very Good. He needs at least one or two more World title reigns to get in there. I usually put in a...

    Could the World heavyweight Championship become the biggest title in the wwe?

    Not by a long shot. Basically, this is meant as a vehicle for Cena to win on a fluke, and Damian Sandow to cash in MITB. YOU'RE WELCOME.

    WWE Divas: Is It Possible Vince Is Undermining Triple H?

    The other part of that equation was that the WWE had a fantastic trainer for the women at that time; Fit Finlay. When he was the lead trainer for the women, they probably had the best action from any group of lady wrestlers ever in a major company. When you consider they had Trish, Lita...

    Big E Langston - What's happening?

    I wouldn't worry about Big E....yet. Just about everyone jobs these days. If you hold the MITB briefcase, you're guaranteed to job until you cash it in (CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler, Damian Sandow). The only talents who hasn't jobbed in recent memory were John Cena and the Undertaker. Don't worry...

    How would you bring Sheamus back?

    What's getting stale is everyone wanting everyone to turn heel. I say bring Sheamus back as a face to fight the Corporation. After all, it was Triple H who put Sheamus out for a while a few years ago. More importantly, I don't see Sheamus as a corporate entity. He has too much of an...

    Twenty Years Ago, would the Real Americans be Faces?

    No they wouldn't be faces; for 2 reasons. 1. The use of a manager like Zeb Colter. He would still interfere and distract, and his rhetoric would still be viewed as inflammatory, especially since the United States is made up of immigrants, except for the Native Americans. 2. There was...

    WWE Battleground - WWE Championship: Daniel Bryan VS Randy Orton

    I believe it will be parts of two of the posters here. At Battleground, a regular match that will turn into one giant "clusterf**k" double disqualification. At Survivor Series, Hell In The Cell. Then everyone can start chanting, "YES, YES, YES, YES".

    Greatest Manager of all Time?

    It looks like the pollster is going for the best manager in the WWE, with WCW and other areas being shunned. Also, the other issue I have with this poll is that the great trio of managers from the 70s is missing (The Grand Wizard, Captain Lou Albano, and Classy Freddie Blassie). Regardless of...

    Greatest and Worst character transformations

    The worst one I remember was Chavo Guerrero turning into "Kerwin White". If it wasn't for Eddie passing away, we might have had been subjected to Chavo winning with the use of a putter.
