I thought of that one, but honestly, the WWF sold the hell out of it by giving him such a long reign. Agree or disagree with the choice of champion, at least it meant something and everyone - the fans and the booker(s) - gave a shit. When he lost the title finally, it was a huge moment and it can be argued somewhat that Warrior was "made" because of it (I wouldn't go that far necessarily, but it didn't hurt). Compare that to the past decade or so, where the I-C Title hasn't rmattered. Yeah, that was a big part of me getting out of wrestling for awhile but it didn't affect the title.

It's funny, because as much an influence as Dylan was and still is to a degree on my wrestling viewing and opinions, we've slowly separated when it comes to wrestling in recent years. Dylan will praise a match and I won't agree at all. I'll say something was great and Dylan will say it's innately bad or something. The day we get in a fist fight over structural issues in a match will be something to behold. Then, we'll both be in a jail cell.I'm picturing "Stir Crazy" the holding cell scene.

I'm imagining the deluge of wacky self promoting and advertising wrestlers would try if they could vote for who's in the WWE HOF. Print ads in the Observer with "For Your Consideration , "Pretty Boy" Larry Sharpe"

I'm gonna outlive all you fuckers, then I'm blowing myself up.

I'm sick and sitting in my room watching Nitros from 96 for the first time since 96. And back then I flipped back and forth, and was smoking a lot of weed. I forgot Glacier matches were under blue mood lighting. Hoo Hoo, Sin Cara was ripping him off, Robin.

I used to hate guys with one name, like Sting.. and guys who wrestled in street clothes, like Big Bubba Rogers. Now I don't care.

Unknown to most, besides old guys like me, the original MXE were Rikki Starr and Wilbur Snyder managed by Bobby Davis. It's a forgotten short lived team with no footage available.

Yuck. You need medication , my friend.Anyway, nominating The Nightmares, Danny Davis and Ken Wayne based on them being awesome.

Dunn looks more like a rat than the rat faced guy in Dick Tracy. He makes Buscemi look like Alan Ladd.

Yeah, he'd always compare London and Kendrick to the Simpson Brothers.

Yeah, bad guys can be bad guys and support fighting cancer.

Why would anyone give a fuck about him "working different styles"? The greatness of a guy like Vader is his doing basically the same thing everywhere, drawing money, and being over.

Punk has always said that he and Vince had/ have a decent relationship and I recall a report that Vince didn't want any hatchet jobs done on him. Now, that's probably more to do with Vince knowing that Punk is super popular and sells a ton of shit so why burn that bridge....and I'd guess that Vince has a respect to anyone who stands up to him and has a lot of balls. Especially since Punk just retired, the days of him being mad cause they went to the "competition" are gone.

How fucked up are you people that The Road Warriors haven't been nominated yet, and I have to do it? Jesus Christ.

It's picking and choosing what thing about wrestling people are gonna get all on their moral high horse about, haha.

Lol, Holy shit, you stink. hahaha.

Hahaha, well done, man.

I'd bet the farm one was Bob Holly.

How the fuck can you be "indifferent to TA as a Pro Wrestler"? And a hacky mustache "joke"? Ugh, that stinks.

I'm digging the idea that in these post PPV /Network days that they can run more long term stories with rematches and fueds if they want to. Bring back the old MSG three in a row.

Yeah, and those were awesome. And he's the fucking Macho Man. And who cares about the stuff that wasn't great? Why does that offset the peak great stuff? Like I said, if that matters then his rookie days as The Spider should count against him. And that'd be fucking dumb.

Nah, bro. I got your sarcasm right away and it was fine, fine work .

So basically, as an older guy in WCW he had at least two awesome programs. That's pretty impressive. This whole "but his late stage stuff isn't as good as his peek so it affects their greatness" deal going on round these parts is wacky. Like it'd be better if guys retired early or croaked young. By that thinking, you should consider people's rookie and early green years against them.

See, I don't get this line of thinking at all, man. Do we consider Babe Ruth's last year with the Boston Braves as a mark against his greatness? Do we consider Street Fighter as a mark against the greatness of Raul Julia? Of course not.
