I'm not following this logic. Please elaborate.Shawn is definitely in the top ten ever, because at the end of the day he was indeed the top draw of the WWF in 1996.
Am I the only one that doesn't enjoy the fact that the World Championships don't change hands more often these days? I know that they are trying to make the champions look like stars and bring back credibility to the championships but come on, add some unpredictability to the titles, which I have only seen in the last year when Alberto won the WHC
I know WWE Hall of Fame doesn't mean anything and all the crap.But shouldn't Mick Foley headline this years class instead of the Kliq(regarding the rumors of them headlining this years class)?
How would you rank the years between Hogan's WWF and the Attitude Era from a buisness standpoint and a wrestling quality standpoint?
Also what sticks out in your mind both positive and negative from those years?

If Brock Lesnar signs on for one more year, who would you like to see him have a program with?
Which implies that you'd personally rank Michaels above a guy like Savage?Michaels was a top draw in 1996, but that was a terrible time for business. However, he was still the top draw, which puts him above a lot of other guys. It's like being the poorest millionaire if that makes sense.

Best Face turn in wrestling history?
Humour me: Can you fathom the idea of a top ten that doesn't involve Michaels?
Example:
Austin
Rock
Hogan
Savage
Triple H
Warrior
Cena
Backlund
Bruno
Hart/Taker/Foley/Punk/anybody not named Michaels
I'm assuming we're talking WWWF/WWF/WWE only. So no Flair, Thesz, Funks, etc. No international guys... If we're talking all of professional wrestling ever, I think Michaels misses the top ten by a WIDE margin. Agreed?
In the last months I have watched a lot from that time again and I'd say there was about one really awful year (and a little more), namely beginning with Diesel's reign and Hogan dumping his bucket of suck over WCW. The Hart feud before and some other stuff were pretty good in my opinion, as well as the competition in WCW with Steamboat, Pillman, Austin, Vader, Flair, Sting or Foley to name some.If we're talking about 1994-1996, the business was pretty terrible, but there was no way around that. From a quality standpoint, 94 was decent, 95 was AWFUL and 96 was better but still not great.
Positives: the rise of the new generation and the building for future years.
Negatives: the midcard and tag division. It was DREADFUL, as was a lot of Diesel's title reign.
is NXT worth watching?

In my mind things picked up again around when Nitro and In Your House debuted, Diesel and Hogan ended their horrible reigns and the companies began to really compete, getting their shit together and trying out unwalked paths. The spawning Hart - Michaels feud, Austin's rise (both resulting in the Border War), the NWO, Taker - Mankind and later Kane, fresh styles of wrestling and generally the transition from old concepts (which still provided solid concrete for the new time to build upon so to say) to new was amazing and I doubt we'll ever witness a time like this again. In fact, if I had to make a list of my favorite storylines it would be topped by the Border War and the NWO and a lot from that timeframe would make the cut.
So yeah, wrestling was really awful from around fall 94 to winter 95/96, but the time around it was very good in my opinion. In my mind 1996 - 1998 was the really revolutionary time in wrestling and not that much the nowadays much adored years of 1999 - 2001.
Should the Undertaker just hang up the boots now?He's 20-0 at mania.I know the streak is a big part which sales mania now.(How Sad!).But he's badly beat up and after last 3 years matches,it seems even Cena can't beat him.So why not retire now?
If Pillman didn't die, how far do you think he'd have gone?
