  1. This is totally subjective, but for me it's Montreal. Plain and simple. Nothing to do with Shawn or Bret, but just what Vince did. I've heard all the theories, arguments, half-truths and conjecture but to me it boils down to one thing. He pulled the curtain back for good. He tore it from the ceiling and set the fucker on fire.
  2. Probably. The best thing about Cody is that he doesn't have to live in his father's shadow as much as Dustin did, and that hopefully he can learn from both their mistakes. Back to Flair, whatever he's gone through doesn't compare to some other people but it's still a shame to see he can't separate himself from the persona that made him and his family rather well-off.
  3. Probably not. Luger said in his shoot his WCW contact stipulated he wouldn't be able to wrestle anywhere else for the rest of the year. If true, it was likely common knowledge among the boys.
  4. As someone who occasionally finds humor in the misfortune of others, I find no problem in this.
  5. Exactly, and it didn't help that it directly followed an awesome Orton/Christian match.
  6. For such a big guy that didn't need to talk at all, Tenta was a decent promo guy.
  7. The only time I ever noticed the belt and thought it odd in the circumstances you speak of was during the Benoit DVD when he took it with him to the Hart household and other places.
  8. I swear I saw Pat Robertson's network do the serious version of that article around a decade ago.
  9. Does anyone listen to Schiovane as a baseball announcer now, and if so does he manage to use any "Tony-ism's" as related to the game?
  10. It makes sense to me. I do feel a little dumber after watching his promos. This post should not be slept on. Nice work. I laughed. I'll second that. Thanks. And I don't care if it's a body-building term, "skinny fat ass" is still stupid.
  11. I never got Sting/Luger vs. Steiners winning in '91, over Hart/Perfect from that year's SummerSlam. It's a good match, but way too short. If it went 25-30 minutes, one could make the case for it, but I still don't quite get it.
  12. Someone else had "Superstars Of Wrestling" trademarked.
  13. It makes sense to me. I do feel a little dumber after watching his promos.
  14. This might be the best BattleBowl in terms of participants, and in execution. And a great use of that wonderful ramp they used a lot back then, cutting the sides for elimination down to three.
  15. It was my first one, too. I think it's really sad Flair/Hogan didn't come to pass at this show, but the Savage feud had better heat than what they tried to accomplish with Hulk. Their mistake was having them face off at arena shows right off the bat and not building up the Royal Rumble as some kind of showdown between the two for the vacant title, to have Flair win as he did. It's a hot match, but I don't think it lived up to expectation. Part of this is, in my opinion, because of the angle. All the outside stuff is a distraction to what could have been a great one-on-one contest. WCW repeated this Ad Nauseum a few years later, first with Lanny, and then again with Liz. That said, the angle in the Fall of '96 with Liz being held by the NWO was a more involving and interesting angle.
  16. I was about to make that point, actually. He hasn't done a regular road schedule for awhile so he practically is already. But the purpose of the thread is to speculate if he's entirely done by now.
  17. It ensures that coveted demographic of old, scary middle-aged white male stalkers.
  18. I've heard some speculation that went along with the "bald" picture that he's hung up his spurs and is done. Seeing him wheeled out of WM was pretty harsh to watch, and it certainly went through my mind I may have been watching his last one out.
  19. This was quite a revelation seeing some guys I'd only associated with WWF, particularly Flair, Piper and DiBiase. The music used in both these montages was quite good.
  20. This was the first WCW event I ever watched. We taped the replay of the show, and sadly it was cut during the heels entrance of this very match. I saw it for the first time recently on WWEClassics.com. I have to say it doesn't hold up with the rest of the excellent card, it felt like they were in a race with time to get the whole match on the show.
  21. I loved this segment. It's probably the most blunt face turn you'll ever see, but by God it works.
  22. Not to mention a HUGE drop-off in ticket sales. But maybe they'll just do controversial political angle, and move into a smaller building because of "terrorist threats".
  23. Best thing to come out of it is all the Super Dave references on Twitter.
