They did a good job waking the shit Jersey crowd up. I liked this one because it started off hotter than Saudi match which was way too nice. Finish was bullshit coming too soon after another bullshit finish.

Ole got rid of Hogan in 78/79 and Georgia was a successful territory for a long time. Ole was also booking for Crockett when that was a successful territory. By 1990 Ole did not care enough to fight Jim Herd the way Flair was. I never quite bought the idea Dusty did not want to push Austin. Dusty is the one hired him. made him TV champion for a long time, put him in the Dangerous Alliance, made him and Pillman tag champs, put them against Flair and made Austin US Champion. Find a time when Dusty had the book, that Austin was not getting a good push on TV. In the territory days, this Roman experiment would not have went on this long. Though the first match with Brock would not have had such a shit finish. Roman would have beat Brock outright and maybe he would have actually gelled as champ. In the territory days or hell a decade ago, they would have turned him heel. It does seem like whenever he finds something getting over, they start over. At the end of 2015, he was over as champion teaming with Dean and the Usos. Then they vacated the belt and put it in the Rumble Hunter won and Reigns has not been the same. He was doing well in the reunited Shield and when Dean was hurt, him and Rollins were separated. You can say Vince has dementia. But it does seem like the lesser powers do not want him to be over.

Rowan by a wide margin. We are probably better workers than Cass. I think being near someone worse like Enzo protected Cass. Why did he go to WWE in the first place? If there were problems maybe he would have been better doing the indies for a couple years. Dusty left after he was fired as booker by Jim Herd. He left as a talent in January and tried to get Florida going again using his own money. This put him in a hole financially. That is when he went to the WWF. Meanwhile things are falling apart in WCW and Herd has to go crawling back.

Flair carried him.

That is it. There was also the issue of them calling Henry a Silver Back on TV. Henry had asked not to be given that name. As a kid other kids had called him cruel names. I think they shifted to making it the "Self Proclaimed Silver Back". It was not dropped until the incident with Hayes and they were afraid of being sued.

I did not hear of it until a few years ago. But Taylor was named in the WCW racial discrimination lawsuit along with Russo were named as the main parties. Stevie Ray called out Taylor as a racist on his podcast. Sorta related but on one show discussing the Hogan story, Stevie said he was the blackest white man he has ever known. Though he did not elaborate.

I don't think Hall or Nash defending him makes a difference. But wrestlers like Virgil, Kamala and Harlem Heat defended him. WWE has no problem keeping Terry Taylor around who has been called racist by different minority wrestlers. I know Mark Henry said if Hogan issued face to face sincere apologies to the black wrestlers on the roster he would accept him back. Hogan should have just flat out apologized. The crap he said on TV sounded like someone trying to rationalize something bad instead of a firm apology.

It was a waste when they did not kill the six sided ring on TV. Just moving to a good ring at random. They could have had a guy like Hernandez or Matt Morgan destroy it.

Toriyama knew how to book a clean finish and a match longer than five minutes.

Its been a shit crowd all night. Nak and AJ woke them up briefly.

I don't know why they don't just hire Piper Niven and put her in that spot. She can actually work and has a far better personality. Is she related to the Rock? Because there is no way they would hire someone like Nia who was not connected.

I've seen a ton of Sheik matches, and if he ever took a legit bump I don't remember it. That was one of the things I found hilarious about the fact that he trained Sabu and RVD. Their styles could not possibly be any different from his. Somehow, I don't think The Sheik taught RVD the 5 Star Frog Splash. Although that visual makes me laugh and laugh. Sabu said he was not allowed to even touch the ropes for two years. That he insisted on him learning the basics. Him and RVD would do flying stuff whenever Sheik was not looking.

I mean on Conrad's end. I'm done with Tony.

That is good to hear at least.

You don't wanna know what he was into.

Out of deference of Matt, I am going to let this slide. I will only say you know what I meant originally. You know you had no counter so tried to play a shell game. I am being calm and not going at you like you deserve. Exactly, people don't care if someone is actively racist and hurts people. But if he says something racist, suddenly something is wrong, because Starburst might drop their sponsorship.

It wouldn't have worked because everyone was fine with it when they forced Donald Sterling to sell his NBA team over illegally recorded conversations. So he would have been SOL even if he had gone that route I think. While I don't necessarily agree with how the Sterling tapes were acquired. He did have things on the public record against him. That the NBA did not seem bothered when he was hurting minorities from getting homes, they were fine. He got a 100 million dollars out of it. I would have told the world and WWE to smell my ass. I do wonder why you think using a racial slur in private is worse than violating someone's privacy. So and just as a hypothetical so Fando does not try to craft another fake argument. If Paige had said "nigger" while letting someone nut on company property on the video someone stole from her cell phone, it would have been cool to fire her? Again Fando, this is hypothetical. So don't go crazy posting pics and making up arguments.

So you really are that obtuse.

I think spying on someone having sex is about as immoral as calling someone a nigger. So really what moral high ground do you have? How you got the information does count, sorry but it does.

Dude don't be obtuse. People learned information spying on someone having sex and weaponized it. Unless he was planning on killing some people, that is immoral. Also I do put some effort into using my words. Even if it might not seem that way. At least give me the same courtesy.

Not mad, he has deep psychological problems about control. But how can you be morally indignant about stuff you heard spying on a guy having sex? If Paige had been fired after her phone was hacked, people would rightly think it was bullshit. But Hogan said something racist while his privacy was violated so it is okay? It comes down to people having biases and thinking their should be double standards. If Hogan did not have a desperate need for attention, he should have told everyone to fuck off and become a recluse.

Hum.. yeah, it's just sex. Who cares ? Well when you get down to it, Hogan's real response should have been "You only heard this in the course of violating my privacy, so shove it up your ass." I mean really its "You said some very disturbing things when I was spying on you having sex." How the fuck do you claim the moral high ground. At best its a lateral move. If you listen or read it is obvious the context is she was dating someone who had a father who had more money and resources than he had. Which Hogan could not admit, so he used his race. Now why Hogan thinks being racist is better, that is something for a psychologist to decide. But since I had no right to hear it in the first place, it doesn't matter.

I don't think there was any need or comedy in mentioning Nikita losing his wife. It seems like someone trying to be cruel and not funny. But Ido think Conrad is a shit bag.

He definitely did not handle it right when it became public. I don't think he has ever heard thof the idea of saying nothing is better than saying something and making it worse.
