    So, what's the best (or at least notable) performance by a wrestler in a movie/TV show in your estimation?

    Steve announced on Twitter that tomorrow he's talking to Ric Flair

    During the Monday Night Wars, I was a WCW fan and my brother was the WWF fan although we didn't mind watching both. It would get a little heated sometimes as to which show we would tape that night (for some reason I had a thing about wanting to tape the live Nitro feed over the taped one), but I think it's safe to say we both enjoyed each product to the same degree. I preferred WCW because I had missed out on the original WWF boom and enjoyed seeing the big names from week to week I'd only really known before via videotape. My demerits against WWF at the time was that it seemed to focused on "youth" which even as a pre-teen I felt was kind of lame. But then guys like Vader and Foley came in, and my interest rose a little. It rose quite a bit during the Bret Hart "American heel/Canadian face" period, which I thought was equal to the NWO angle in terms of being interesting television.

    I often wonder (because I've heard several testimonies to his character like that) how much of what we like to blame Trips for is actually Vince.
  5. flyonthewall2983
    Yeah but I would imagine WWE locker rooms now are practically churches compared to what he's seen.

    What else was he responsible for?

    Wait, is Naylor dead?

    The thing I remember most about this match is that I heard the rumor about the Warrior of this match wasn't the same, from my mother of all people.

    Bret in WCW in '92 could have changed EVERYTHING, had they really done something with him and he stayed. Hell, WCW might be still in business.

    They did it the previous year too.

    The more I think about it, you're right. Hogan helping Sid get tossed out was a total bitch move. And an anti-climactic ending to an otherwise stellar Rumble. As to the question, I'd think so. If I try to think with the mark mindset, my money would have been on Hogan winning just because. Flair would certainly have been a possibility. But if I watched it today I'd say that Flair would absolutely have won it. The early draw makes for a compelling story, and the win would set up a big title match at WM for whoever it was to beat him.

    Quadrophenia Every match ever filmed that took place in a four-sided ring.

    Eh, I keep thinking this thread is more about specifically the fall from grace on the roster than in personal lives and such.

    Last guy I can think of (maybe besides Del Rio currently) who pulled of the suits was Batista. I forget which match it was for the build-up for but he came out in a grey number with sunglasses. Besides the flashy suit (something he probably gleaned off from being with Flair), he gave off a heavy vibe of intimidation. He looked more like Tom Sizemore in the bank shootout in Heat than he did a pro wrestler.

    It was mentioned a few times during the show.

    Man, they should have had Undertaker do a program with Doink instead of Jorge. It would largely be a homage to the Batman/Joker dynamic but it could have worked in a pro wrestling setting.
  18. flyonthewall2983
    It also had international prestige to some extent too.

    I don't believe one iota the low rating will affect Bryan much. When two of your top talents (hometown guys or not) probably spent more time watching the game than the show, they would have had to know how huge the game was.

    Don't know if this was intentional or not but it's funny how they almost made Bobby a face in MSG around this time. Really sad you guys didn't include the Haku/Barbarian vs. Fuji/Kato match from July, with Bobby acting as both manager and announcer.
  21. flyonthewall2983
    As far as Heenan, you would have had to know that his character had a particular hatred for Hogan in his WWF career, from the tone in which he said that now (for silly reasons) infamous line. Even from the very beginning, I believe his first promo was that Big John Studd would beat Hulk for the belt. And as Bobby pretty much was on auto-pilot in WCW, to hear him say such a thing didn't register as giving the plot away. I didn't watch the PPV, because our cable company didn't start carrying WCW PPV's every month until later that year. I first saw the segment I believe on the following week's edition of Worldwide. Even then I didn't give the line much credence.

    Yes. They said on Twitter they placed a Trading Places one-dollar bet over the Cup.

    Referring to his real name.
  24. flyonthewall2983
    What an unfortunate name.
