This sounds fun, where is the best place to catch it?

Did the main roster make up team get hold of Kairi Sane this week? Yeesh.

There is a match between Sting and Kane (Bruiser Mastino) from the 3/6/93 WCW Saturday Night on the WWE Network Hidden Gems section, and it certainly appears that Jacobs taps to the Scorpion Deathlock.

If he is out again, that was the best possible Daniel Bryan/Big Cass feud.

"With a heart that is heavy, and tears that are soaked, I'm sorry to hear you're old man croaked!"

The announcers have been forced to spout off awful tag lines for years. "The WWF runs on Diesel Power!"

As a kid I watched all of the WWF and NWA I could. I watched AWA when it was on, I watched Global and World Class when I could catch it. But in the 90's when WCW was running Hogan versus the Dungeon of Doom and WWF was giving us Sparky Plugg.....I discovered ECW. Here I was in high school, grunge was still a thing, I was growing my hair long and smoking cigarettes cause I thought I was fucking cool, and I discovered a wrestling that no one in my stupid little West Virginia town had ever heard of (or so I thought!) So every Saturday night I stayed up until 2 or 3 in the morning to watch this crazy ass wrestling on the sports channel out of Pittsburgh. About half the time they didn't bother to show it, and then I'd be super pissed off. I'd tape it and show my buddies. I ordered the EC F'N W t-shirt and thought I was even cooler! Then Barely Legal came around and it was awesome! Then the Sports Channel stopped showing it and I had to follow it on the early days of the internet which was a giant pain in the ass, but I continued buying the PPV's until the end. Now I own most of the TV and all of the PPV's on DVD and I am making my way back through it. So yeah, while today I am a PWG guy....all time, I am an ECW guy, and I probably always will be.

Damn, how did I forget Jake Roberts.

Based off some talk in the WWE Network Thread, I was pondering Top WWF Babyfaces from 1989-1991. Hogan and Warrior are obviously a run away 1 and 2. Based on talk in that thread, it seems that Beefcake can pretty comfortably be named #3. Who do folks have to round out a Top 5? I feel pretty comfortable slotting "Hacksaw" in at #4. A constant and over babyface that could work virtually anywhere on the card. For #5, man you got Dusty, Piper, Tito, Bret, Bulldog, maybe the Bushwhackers. My choice.... Demolition. After they turned face, they were huge (bigger than LOD ever got in WWF in my opinion) and they remained that way until they were turned and fed to LOD. Who you got?

Not gonna lie, I was a huge "Barber" fan when I was like 10! Looking back, sure Beefcake was mediocre at best in the ring, but like C.S. said, he was really, really fucking over. It's kind of sad that the rest of his career turned him into a joke, because in 89/90 he was probably the third biggest babyface in the United States behind Hogan and The Warrior.

My wife hates wrestling but always thought Chris Jericho and Christian (circa 1998ish) were hot. A girl I work with who catches me watching wrestling when I should be working thinks Ricochet is one of the hottest guys she has ever seen. Me? I'm with whoever pointed out modern day Drew McIntyre. That's a god damn handsome man. As for women.... Beulah is still my all time favorite.

I wish this was World War 3 so we could cut to Chris Cruise and Dusty Rhodes over in Ring 2.

I had to wonder if the people who were enjoying Orange Cassidy being Orange Cassidy over Mania weekend, had any idea of how different and good he can be when he's under the mask and not doing comedy.

Nicholas should have given him the low blow.

Thank You!

I have been trying to keep up with results from all of the shows from the weekend, and have managed to find everything except for yesterdays Pancakes and Piledrivers show. Anyone happen to have a lead on results for that?

Yes, we know. Cena isn't Volk Han. I am so glad you've come into yet another thread to tell us how you judge workers and not meaningfully contribute to what is actually being talked about. You obviously don't care about modern WWE, so why in the hell are you in this thread in the first place!! I'm sorry everyone. I really enjoy coming here and reading interesting takes by intelligent people (which is rare on the internet) on a hobby that I have enjoyed since I was a kid, and I am just tired of seeing this troll pop up in every fucking thread to talk about how he rates workers based on realism. We get it.. Shit.

I think Elias is the favorite at the moment, but since they like to have big dudes win it and this is about the time he was supposed to return from injury, my money is on a Big Cass return for the win.

A third for the Pillman book. Great read. Even my Dad, who never liked Pillman, couldn't put it down and has a new found respect for the guy. Well worth the price.

I will agree that it probably isn't the best way to go with Braun, but since strapping the rocket to his ass and striking while the iron is hot no longer seems to be in the WWE playbook, it just seems like a direction they could go. As for her character, they have turned worse people with less explanation, and the crowd wouldn't care so long as "cool big dude and hot girl" were funny and kicked ass together.

It's almost too bad they can't have just the slightest bit of male on female violence these days (that felt wierd to type) because if they had a couple heel guys and a heel girl corner Bliss and rough her up just a little,the pop when Braun came out and smashed the dudes would be huge. They could keep playing the will they/won't they stuff for a while. Get another huge pop if they finally kiss or whatever, or just say she was playing him if they decide to keep her heel. They've been super entertaining on Mixed Match together. Be a shame to let it go away.

Whether it happened or didn't happen I have no idea, but wrestling is an incredibly vain business and the fact that half of these sound like "I was the prettiest and she didn't force me to fuck anyone, so it couldn't have happened" is incredibly sad.

Yes, we know, Volk Han
