Sting vs Taker would be a horrible idea. Who wants to see Taker lose two years in a row? And he would have to lose, because you're not going to bring Sting in for Wrestlemania for the first and likely only time and not have him go over.

What active, on the roster workers should be bumping and doing the job for 55 year old Sting, though? I don't expect much of match between Triple H and Sting, but I think it's a fairly obvious choice.

Dennis Knight/Mideon was Phineas, not Henry (Mark Canterbury).

The match with Razor Ramon for the vacant IC Title in 93 is a match I love, in no small part due to it being at the first TV taping I ever went to. But when I watched it again not too long ago I thought it was terrific. A fairly basic structure, with Martel working over Razor's back to soften him up for the Boston Crab, but very well executed.

The Invasion stopped being the Invasion the moment WCW was replaced with "the Alliance," a meaningless heel stable that basically anyone could join. Christian turns on Edge? Well, that means he's Alliance now, despite not being a WCW or ECW guy. And the entire premise of the Alliance, ECW joining forces with WCW against the WWF, made no sense in the first place given that ECW was actually the WWF's ally during the war with WCW. If WCW had stayed WCW, and had just two big more names been there, I think it could have worked. Sting and Goldberg. You don't need Hogan, Hall, and Nash, all guys the WWF audience had seen plenty of who they associated more with the NWO than "WCW proper" anyway. You don't need Flair or Luger or Savage, who had all been in WWF before. You needed the guys who'd never been there, the stars of WCW's own making. An ideal Team WCW at the PPV to my mind would have been Sting, Goldberg, Booker, DDP and then Shane's big "free agent signing" of RVD.

Who was the guy working WWE house shows in 1993 under a mask as The Predator, doing jobs for Jim Powers? And what was the deal with giving Powers wins on house shows anyway?

Off topic: Vince's history of trashing stars gives me cause for concern for Prince Devitt, Kevin Steen and KENTA. The idea that Vince McMahon would give enough thought to any of those guys to consider them "stars" worth "trashing" seems highly dubious.

Regal actually started out as a babyface in WCW, so it wouldn't have been entirely out of the question.

Wait, what? They we were really signing it in French!? I thought "disrespectfully signing gibberish" was their whole gimmick.

The hog pen match with Henry Godwinn for an In Your House PPV in 1995. I'm not joking, that is seriously my favorite Triple H match ever.

Wasn't that match based on the collapse angle, which was attributed to Owen's enziguri almost as much to the beating that put him out in the first place?

I have felt for a while the perfect guy for Sting to work a program with in WWE is Miz. Miz has him as a guest on MizTV when the DVD is coming out, trash talks him, builds up to a PPV match, maybe Flair gets involved somehow possibly even setting up and turning on Sting for old times sake, in the end Sting beats Miz in his first and only WWE match. Miz's career isn't going anywhere at this point anyway, so losing to a 55-year old isn't going to hurt him.

Your timelime here is off. Knight's neck was broken (real injury, he landed on his head taking the move) when they were the Godwinns. When he came back from that injury, they were still the Godwinns and feuded with the LOD. I don't actually remember if they were heels already when the injury occured or if they came back as heels for that fued. The Southern Justice repackaging was after all of that. Wait, no not Knight, it was Canterbury (Henry Godwinn) who had the neck injury. He was also the one who was in the Brawl 4 All, which I think was his first WWF appearance with his real name, and after that came Southern Justice.

Bulgaria, not Belarus.

Seven matches on a four hour show is freakin' ridiculous.

This will unfortunately happen, and the crowd will shit on it. Nobody called Alexander Rusev and debuting this way is going to get over in 2014. I think if Rusev was going to win the Battle Royal, they'd probably be advertising him as one of the participants. But so far he hasn't even been announced for the match.

How do you induct The Four Horsemen WITHOUT including Flair? That'd be like the Basketball Hall of Fame inducting The Dream Team 1990 Olympic Team but only listing Christian Latener (only non-HOF-er on roster). You induct Arn, Tully, Windham and JJ Dillon while noting that Flair is already in the HOF. Which I was what I thought they'd do, instead of double-inducting Flair. So, you'd be fine if the Basketball Hall of Fame, which has been inducting specific team rosters since the 1960s, only listed Christian Laettner and assistant coach P.J. Carlesimo for the 1992 Men's US Olympic Team because they are the only non-Hall of Famers among the players and coaching staff? And speaking of said coaching staff, you want to have Lenny Wilkens as a player only or a coach only as he, who was on that year's staff, was inducted twice, once as a player and then again as one of the winningest coaches in NBA history. The Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame has Ray Stevens inducted twice, as a member of a Tag Team with Pat Patterson, and as a solo competitor if you want to use a non-WWF Hall of Fame for a different example. I'm not sure why you want to arbitrarily say that someone SHOULDN'T get inducted more than once if the Hall of Fame's rules allows someone to be honored in anyway they seem fit. I didn't say SHOULDN'T. Just that when they announced the Horsemen, I assumed they'd stipulate Flair was already in and thus didn't need a second induction. I don't actually care about the fake rules for the fake sport's fake HOF.

If the Matadores are in the tag title match, that leaves four open spots in the battle royal. Here's guys listed on the roster who's available: Darren Young Xavier Woods Alexander Rusev I would assume these three will be in. Leaving one spot for the following.. Bad News Barrett Probably will be on show to do his podium schtick, so doesn't need the slot. Camacho Curt Hawkins JTG Yoshi Tatsu Tyson Kidd Jason Albert (Tensai) The "guys you didn't know were still in the WWE if you just watch Raw and SmackDown" brigade. Probably won't be one of them. Ezekial Jackson The "guy I seriously thought was released a long time ago." Probably not him. Evan Bourne The "guy who disappeared after injury and never came back." Maybe? If he's ever coming back, might be a good spot for that. Hornswoggle If this was a few years ago, maybe. But he doesn't appear regularly like he used to. Alex Riley Is an announcer, even though he's pictured in his ring gear on the website. Hunico They've finally stopped listing Epico and Primo, but he's still there as if we don't know. Speaking of which... C.M. Punk The Ultimate Surprise Entrant!!!!!! And finally... William Regal YES.

That exact same thought has occurred to me. A-Ry and Long Island Iced Z: Team A-to-Z.

Does Alex Riley still wrestle at all, or is trying for some Josh Matthews-esque job security as an announcer? Man, Josh Matthews was a runner-up on Tough Enough 13 damn years ago, and is still regularly appearing on WWE TV.

How come every time the Usos do the "running ass to the face of the guy slumped in the corner" spot, the announcers act like they're paying homage to their father? Rikishi didn't do that move. He ran into the guy standing up in the corner, who'd then fall down and he'd give him the stinkface. Umaga was the Samoan who did the spot the Usos use.

Epico and Primo won the tag titles from Kofi and Evan Bourne on a house show in Jan. 2012.

I was just wondering the other day if Rough and Ready (Slater's last WCW team, with Mike Enos) had any good matches. Enos by himself had some terrific Nitro matches against Malenko and Jericho, but I don't remember anything about Rough and Ready other than loving their entrance music,
