I'm of the opinion that Vince wasn't negotiating in good faith with Bret back in 1996 when he offered him that big ol' 20 year contract with however many dollars in it, that it was more a short-term ploy to keep him on while he was building guys over him as WCW raced on.
If he was such a loyalist to Bret and wanted to keep Bret on in the company as long as possible (with Bret saying he thought he only had a few years left in him), wouldn't he have been better served offering Bret a minority stake as assurances that he'd remain a part of the WWF family? Surely that would interest Bret more than a three year run in WCW with nobody around him that he was close to?
Dunno, thoughts?

I can't imagine Vince giving anyone even partial ownership back then. It's just not his nature.

Is their a reason while WWE hasn't done shit with Sasha since WM?

Allegedly it's to save her for a big return and showdown at Summerslam. I'd assume it's because the writers have no idea how to handle two stories at once. Or because the fans would chant WE WANT SASHA during any Natalya match.
Speaking of the ladies, with the rumored "push" of Stephanie set to take place in support of her book release will we be seeing a true face turn? I'd think they would like to present her as a strong, intelligent and charismatic leader instead of a raging bitch. Any chance the recent interaction between the Flairs and the McMahons is foreshadowing of things to come? Maybe Charlotte v. Stephanie?

Oh please let her face Charlotte, just so Stephanie can go over. I'd have material for months.

Rusev = Hercules Hernandez?

......what?
The Cruiser Weight Classic is generating a decent amount of buzz. Especially amongst the Indy style and WCW throwback fans. If the series is indeed a success could you see the Cruiser Weight Championship returning as a second tier title in NXT? NXT already plays to more of today’s Indy fans in addition to their very traditional style format. Personally I am not sure I’d be in favor of a second title but if it had to be the Cruiser would be a nice fit.

I've been trying to match Rusev & Del Rio to Golden Age wrestlers. Best I got was Dino Bravo and Hercules Hernandez for Rusev.
Also just put up a TNA/POP interview in that forum, dunno if you want to use that as fodder for an article on KBWrestlingReviews or that other site.

I doubt it when there's only a handful of NXT Champions to be over the Cruiserweight limit.
Ambrose.
I doubt it unfortunately. I'm sick of the thing too.

Those are WAY off. Rusev is closer to Iron Sheik and Del Rio is kind of hard to place. Those two were nothing though, not a multi-time US Champion and a multi-time World Champion.

I kind of find Del Rio akin to Tito Santana for some reason. Biggest difference is obviously the heel/face distinction, but other than that they had a few similarities.
How bout Nikolai Volkoff for Rusev?
Punk's next move after flopping in UFC?
Best clusterfuck ladder match?
Which matches stick out the most to you as having tried their hardest to create an epic while falling flat? Dean vs Seth at MITB comes to mind, but you've probably got a Triple H match worth mentioning. Bad Blood '04 perhaps.

No on both.
Tito was the kind of guy who could make you believe he could pull off a miracle. There's a match he had against Randy Savage where it was obvious Savage was ready to move up a level but Tito had the crowd believing the upset was possible. I never get that with Del Rio and while he's a good hand, he's not the same kind as Santana.
Probably crawling back to WWE or ROH.
I remember Bryan's MITB win being great.
HHH vs. Orton - Wrestlemania XXV
HHH vs. Reigns - Wrestlemania XXXII
Orton vs. Edge - Vengeance 2004
Great call. Rewatching it years later, it was much better than I remembered. But yeah, definitely a slog.
How did you feel about the Raw rematch a couple weeks later?
klunderbunker
Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
I liked it better, mainly due to the time.
Funny enough, I remember Ambrose being a huge favourite for MitB last year. However, this year, him winning has honestly not crossed my mind at all until you mentioned him. I was more into Kevin Owens, AJ Styles or even John Cena...

At the moment, Cesaro, since they announced that match for Smackdown.

Owens vs. Wyatt.
If that's the case, then what are the chances of a Shield triple threat at Summerslam?

Just wanted to post an update to a question I asked, like, years ago. I had asked if there was video evidence of Mil Mascaras being pinned
You answered that you're sure there is somewhere, so with renewed vigor I was able to find what is likely the only existing example of this occurrence.
Mil Mascaras vs El Canek:

It happens at 6:45
