Hulk Hogan Very underrated worker. While he can't touch Benoit's inring work he was still acceptable in the ring and no one can work a crowd as good as Hogan can. I recently watched a comp with a lot of Hogan's title defenses during his first title run. There are some very solid to good matches in there with Don Muraco, Paul Orndorff, he even drug some good stuff out of King Kong Bundy. Chris Benoit will always be one of my favorites but he just hasn't had as good a WWF career.

the Rock Eddie's personal demons damaged his WWF career.
-
Rey Mysterio Jr.
-
Jake Roberts
-
Ric Flair Mostly because his career hasn't led to him dying horribly in an accident doing a stupid stunt for a stupid Blue Blazer gimmick.
-
Randy Savage For the reasons goodhelmet said plus the fact that Savage probably had more memorable moments with the WMVII stuff and the ringbell and Ricky Steamboat.
-
Bret Hart Better worker and on top for a lot longer than Foley.
-
Honkey Tonk Man They've been trying to copy the forumla he had as the I.C. Champion for 18 years now. While HHH has been higher in the WWF he's never really drawn anything without Austin, Foley or Rock on tv. HHH also was getting his biggest push during the worst year for the WWF in 2002. HTM had a good track record on the house show circuit without Hogan around.

Wasn't he at one point considered to be the best prospect in OVW? I never thought he was that great in the WWF style. It seemed like most of his moves were on the banned list and I'm still looking forward to seeing him work without those restraints. His dispute with All Japan is odd. I think there had to be some misunderstanding as I doubt All Japan would intentionally screw the guy.

I don't, unfortunately, but I'd be down for some Misawa v DiBiase. Do you have a high speed connection? I have it on my PC and can host it for you to download.
-
I'm curious about that too. Me thinks maybe he got busted for roids or something.
-
Do you have Tiger Mask vs. Ted Dibiase from 7-19-86? I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on it.
-
I like Clash the most with Chi-Town being a close second. I find WrestleWar to be overrated as it's mostly just a dumbed down version of Chi-Town.
-
I find the New Japan announcers to be the best. The one guy just sits there and agrees with the color commentator for most of the match and then starts screaming during the high spot portions of the match. I half expect him to drop dead from a heart attack during one of these shows.
-
WrestleWar and Clash are the only ones on the Flair DVD. I remember because I had mentioned I wanted Chi-Town on DVD more than WrestleWar.
-
Are we talking workers or drawing. Wendi Richter is really the only proven women's draw as far as the U.S. goes. The WWF has had some top notch women's workers over the years though. The Jumping Bomb Angels come quickly to mind.
-
I'll probably get this but I have all but the NWA Tag Title match, the AWA and Mid-Atlantic stuff on tape. I would've liked to see more NWA stuff. They need to start getting the Midnight Express onto these things.
-
It's a silly statement in general because a lot of people would find the Japanese style to be boring. I doubt the casual fan would like the mat work periods and the lack of outside interference.
-
I only have the WWF released ones for Ric Flair, Rey Mysterio Jr., Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels. I tend to favor whole shows over comps.
-
Who wanted to see HBK/Edge III when I and II weren't anything that great?

Could the following people be world champions?

Rey beating Bam Bam Bigelow and Kevin Nash around the same time were much better as far as showing how Rey could beat a bigger guy. -

Rey Misterio - yes, I think WCW made a big mistake by not giving him the World Title shortly after he lost the mask in 99. I think it would've created huge buzz if he had beaten Flair on Nitro. As for the WWF he's better than most of the options and he'd be a great transition champ for a monster heel. Christian - no as a heel, maybe as a face, he doesn't have the moveset to be the top heel in the company. He's just too boring. If they turned him face he could pull it off if he kept this character Edge - yes, only a short reign though. I don't think he's interesting enough and they've jobbed him too much for him to be a convincing long term guy. Shelton Benjamin - yes, he's been the Raw MVP inring for a few months now and the fans are into him. Chris Benoit - yes, he's over and they haven't done too much damage to the guy yet. Chris Jericho - no, he's been damaged beyond repair in the WWF and the fans just won't buy the guy as a main event guy. Eddy Guerrero - maybe, I think he could work as champion again but I don't think they have the right guys on Smackdown to make him look credible. Kane - no, he's even more damaged than Jericho. His usefulness was pretty much over after the Shane McMahon feud and then he got stuck with the rapist stuff last year. Big Show - no, he gets hurt too much. -
Rick Steiner beating Mike Rotunda at Starcade 88 for the Television title. Warrior just standing on Savage to end his career at Wrestlemania VII Chris Jericho's WWF debut. Owen Hart kicking Bret Hart in the leg after losing to the Quebecers at Royal Rumble 94. Jannetty going through the Barber Shop Window. Beefcake and Piper shaving Adrian Adonis' head at WMIII. Ric Flair's "I'm fired" speech from 98.

I read somewhere that another reason was she was only clearing 50k a year after expenses and was unhappy about it.
