Starting to add a lot of ECW Hardcore TV today.

So...Daniel Bryan? Or will they wait until next year?

My problem with the War Games match is the coin flip. It pretty much guarantees that the face team wins every time.

Just starting on the Simmons one. I guess he's got ones with Jimmy Hart and Booker T. coming up. I have a Sony Blu-ray player and for some reason the Network is not working for me on it.

There was a heel Jake/heel Randy match from a SNME in '86.

Did Snuka have any good matches at all during that period?

That match came after this one.

A jobber tournament would have been an interesting idea, but not sure how it would end.

Anyone know how to sync the two up?

Guys now in general are much smaller it seems.

I'm surprised that they didn't get him in any sooner. Wasn't he the host of one of the first ceremonies?

Is he doing commentary over the match or just talking about it?

Expect a big ECW content dump soon

I enjoyed reading it too. I've seen the Show/Mayweather match a few times and later wondered if it ever occurred to Wight to shoot on him. That whole trial-and-error process of trying to become a boxer himself is what likely put it out of his mind, and I'm sure Mayweather and his people were well aware of that.

Actually, they had it until Survivor Series when their team came out to it.

I would have given him 4 or 5 to give Heenan a few of those nervous moments followed by relief. But when he comes out is great enough as it is, as was Heenan's reaction. Having seen the match so many times I don't think it's the single-greatest performance of his but it's certainly up there. Can't help but think McMahon would have been so much better instead of Monsoon that night, who flubs a few lines and goes into his hyper-face cheerleader mode a couple times too.

I don't keep up, but the only thing I would guess for certain is that Trump will show up. Probably not in an angle, but a cameo appearance be it live or via satellite.

I thought he was better in WCW, in some respects. Especially when he turned the more heel-ish side of his persona down and talked more as the voice of experience. I've listened to some of his last matches with the company, and it's probably good that he left when he did because I think he probably would have been made to be a watered-down version of who he'd been 10 years before, rather than closer to himself. He was pretty good with Ross, though with knowing that there was tension you can definitely hear it in their announcing sometimes. That's either good or bad depending on one's taste, as opposed to being outright horrible. I listened to a shoot with Ventura from '93 where he calls Ross some pretty awful things, so I guess it was true. I'd love it if Ventura got on Ross' podcast or the other way around, so we can hear them talk about that time. I think Ross has said he wished he'd been more professional during that period, so they both share some blame on it.

What is it with them doing mini-angles after the show that would air on PTW or the syndicated shows? Like the Savage/Liz wedding party or here with Hogan getting burned backstage?

Probably the only time Vince's "sports entertainment" experiment has worked, IMO.

Didn't SummerSlam draw better that year than WrestleMania, PPV-wise? Things historically began to slip after his appearance on Arsenio Hall denying he took steroids.

At least Valentine had music in '91.
