    Imagine if Bret Hart never left WWF in 1997

    I guess I would have seen Bret remaining in that top heel spot, playing the role that would be Triple H's for the duration of the Attitude Era. Or basically being a second main event's heel while Hunter worked in the other. It definitely would have kept the variety of angles fresh for longer, I...

    What are your wrestling pet peeves?

    1 - Fans hijacking the show and throwing beach balls around. That's incredibly disrespectful to the wrestlers out there trying to put on a show for you. The smart fans need to stop taking out their frustration with the booking on the wrestlers themselves. 2 - Smart fans. Which is ironic, I...

    When's the last time you actually felt you "couldn't wait" for Raw/SDL?

    For having watched WWF/E since about 1990, and even back then renting every old WWF tape from the 80s I could find, large portions of eras start to blur together and not all my memories are as accurate as I think they are after I go back and check out old episodes on the WWE Network. For at...

    Should The Sex Appeal Of The Women Be Downplayed?

    From my perspective, there's always a little sex appeal to all the women wrestlers. If you're someone attracted to women, yeah, chances are you might find one of more of them cute no matter how subtle it is or not, that's just natural. You can't make the division entirely void of it though. I...

    What company resets do you want to see happen after Wrestlemania?

    I haven't really watched their TV since October and I just checked in for the Rumble and Fastlane to see what was going to derail so I'm a little behind on certain details. But nothing seemed to change that much in 3 to 4 months that was really glaring to me so my changes are more general. And I...

    John Cena: love him or hate him he still....

    I can't dispute all the good things he does for charity and the children that look up to him, I have the utmost respect for John Cena. Years ago, I was in the "Cena sucks!" camp and the thing about that is I feel like that crowd can be generally summed up as a little picky and narrow-focused...

    Is Brock Lesnar as Dominant As We Think

    Personally, I feel like the way in which they hype him through Paul Heyman is very old-school wrestling from the pre-internet days. He is a big hacked off monster and really could beat the piss out of Cena if he decided to go into business for himself and ruin the whole work. Even though John...

    Will The Wyatt Family Ever Expand????

    Bingo! And that kind of reciprocation from the fans is all you need to keep those 3 guys relevant and on the peoples' minds. Also, Vince doesn't like to do big groups and I'm inclined to agree for the most part. One of his philosophies as explained by Jerry Jarrett is to "narrow focus" the...

    Why are you a fan of Roman Reigns again?

    Frankly, I think Ambrose should have been the breakout star of The Shield. He's gets way more massive reactions from the fans than Roman does and he has the seasoning under his belt as a performer to understand how to work a crowd. Everything he does is deliberate and with a purpose to the story...

    Rumor: Vince & Triple H Butting Heads Creatively?

    I have to disagree with both of them because we don't know what injuries or resignations could occur between now and WM31. Reigns should definitely NOT be the one to face Lesnar, especially if it's for the world title. Roman isn't ready and won't be even 6 months from now. Honestly I don't even...

    If you were a WWE superstar????

    I'm only 5'6" so I definitely couldn't get by on physical stature or any kind of gimmick relating to it. And I'm no high-flyer, my feet ain't leaving the ground. So I'd be a classic underhanded and conniving heel likely relegated to the mid-card for life which is fine if I established a track...

    If Taker/Cena happens at WM30!

    Cena doesn't need to turn heel, I wish everyone would just drop that already. It benefits no one and does more harm than good. WWE has effectively worked over the smarks finally with nearly every top name they have coming off as tweeners. They've simply taken the splitting of the crowds and used...

    Regarding Shawn Michaels' "Drawing power" in the 90s

    The irony of that match with Sid and what happened during with the camera attack is Shawn really didn't want Jose around. It was a Bruce Prichard idea to bring Lothario in and try to play it up like the Stallone/Bergess Meredith relationship in the Rocky movies. Shawn was supposed to...

    Regarding Shawn Michaels' "Drawing power" in the 90s

    Business just sucked all around during Shawn's run on top of the WWF. 1992 business started to wane. 1995 was the worst year for the business; From '95 until they declared the ushering in of the Attitude Era, numbers were down and Vince was soon in financial dire straits in the face of the...

    What was Steve Austin's best match?

    I voted for Austin/Hart at WrestleMania 13, I LOVE that match. I felt like as time went on, a lot of Steve's work just started to bleed together regardless of how hot he was but that Submission Match with Bret always stands out above the rest. As Jim Cornette put it, and I agree, it was like an...
