You're absolutely right. The Clash events were big in my house growing up because our PPV company did not carry their broadcasts, and wouldn't do so regularly until 1996 or 97. I think even until their last CotC, the show still had a purpose as long as they only did as few a year as they did by then.

Putting a top on it and getting them out the door would make more sense.

This is as probably as good a place to say it but I've never had a problem with how the WWF approached cage matches, with regards to escaping as a way to win.

I think with Thunder coming on TBS, continuing the event would have been overkill (as if the show itself wasn't overkill).

Bret and Owen's reconciliation. DDP giving the Diamond Cutter to Hall and Nash. The Andre memorial segment.

I kind of feel that it's an unwritten rule that the exceptional talent that retires (or in Eddie Guerrero's case, dies) they get in the HOF the next year.

Would have been better if they just had guys from both teams come in at the same time.

Plus it might be too soon anyway, and who knows what'll happen with him in the next year with regards to his relationship to the company. And maybe they'll keep him onscreen somehow. Lots of variables to consider.

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.
