I was wondering what people are watching, so what promotions do you follow currently? Also, to what degree do you follow them? 1) WWE Watch special events and well hyped moments on Raw, will watch Raw if they get consistent praise. 2) NXT All TV and special events. 3) Progress All Chapter specials at the least, might start the other shows they do. 4) CMLL Interesting looking and hyped matches. 5) EVOLVE Select shows live and well regarded shows on demand. 6) Everything else MOTY candidates or shows that get a LOT of praise.

Bret reuniting the Hart Foundation in 97.

Yeah that focus should be transferred to wwe proper. I think it's easier with no heel authority figure. Great show again this week.

https://audioboom.com/boos/4171064-the-bret-hart-vs-steve-austin-feud Jason Mann and Steven Graham from the Pro-Wrestling Super Show talk about the Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin feud from 1996 and 1997, specifically their Survivor Series 1996, WrestleMania 13, and In Your House: Revenge of the Taker singles matches. They discuss why Austin and Hart worked so well together, how Canadians saw the feud as opposed to Americans, and much more.

The question I posed on Wrestlespective is what would had happened to Austin if Bret didn't return or work with him. Who else would had put Austin at his level? Shawn wouldn't had made him. Taker, maybe? Would Austin had become the star he became without the help of the Austin feud?

What makes this even worse, as Wade Keller pointed out, Vince has bragged about how much joy he gets in pushing people into pools when they don't expect it. Bullshit hypocritical behavior.

On ESPN he didn't think they were linked until this new test.

Yeah, that one suspends too much disbelief.

Vince Russo stuff. Reverse Battle Royal is just criminally awful and the stupidest match in history, maybe.

Wade Keller said it could had been the best segment in the history of Raw, but it's unfair to compare this as it was an emotional real moment.

He's billed as an all-time great by the WWE. People point to a good run in 2000. He's had more opportunities to have big time matches than almost everyone. Is he making it for you?

Meltzer said he asked for release, but was denied.

Doesn't effect me in any way because I wasn't voting on potential, but it does strike me in a finality way that I can look back on his fifteen year career now comparatively to his contemporaries like AJ and Hero who hypothetically have more to give int he wrestling arena. Voting for people working in their prime was going to be a struggle for me. His retirement may help his standing on this ballot.

Yeah, that was too definitive and too much of a troll. It depends how you define a draw, but if someone wants to compare the two in drawing I think it would be very close and I could see Colon winning. For example the Anniversary Shows had bigger crowds than MSG. Not to mention those stadium shows. I would love for someone to do this comparison.

Magical connection to the crowd that Bruno had over Colon. Colon had a magical connection the crowd too and bigger crowds.

Colon probably sold more tickets than Bruno.

I was drunk watching Mania this year with friends and family. Made the show two million times better. Although the next day stunk. Rusev arriving on a tank while drank was the most amazing thing in the history of wrestling. However, I don't drink very often so I don't have much to say about this. Maybe when the finalization of legalization of marijuana in Canada is completed I might use it to get through Raw.

They will get a good run, don't worry!

According to Meltzer on WC: Daniel Bryan gave notice, but then was told he could not give notice.

Impact Wrestling #3 "Jarrett vs Shamrock" July 3, 2002 City Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee An opening video package is played that shows some classic old-school NWA wrestling which then shows the phrase "The Past, The Present, and The Future of Wrestling". The Impact Wrestling logo appears as we enter the arena and get a pyro show. Don West is in the ring and introduces us to Impact Wrestling. He hypes the crowd talking about James Maritato challenging for the NWA X Division Champion AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett, with his injured leg, challenging the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ken Shamrock. He throws it to the new announce team of Maura Ranallo, Mike Tenay and Don Callis. The announce crew talk about the World Title and X Division Title match, before turning to the upcoming opener. First up tonight is Homicide trying to avenge his loss to The Amazing Red. Each men will pick a tag team for this six-man tag opener. While talking Homicide's music hits and he comes to the ring and introduces his team that will commit the crime of rubbing out Red and his "friends". He brings out his friends from the hood in Da Hit Squad! The Amazing Red comes out with The SAT at his side. The announcers build up both teams. Homicide & Da Hit Squad vs The Amazing Red & The SAT The SAT and Red get in some amazing spots, while Homicide refuses to face Red one on one and only enters when Da Hit Squad gain the advantage. Red plays face in peril and finally tags SAT who go nuts with dives. Da Hit Squad are able to gain control and knock out Red. Instead of pinning him they tag in Homicide who nails a Cop Killa for the win. Winners: Homcidie & Da Hit Squad @ 10:29 A video package is played with Kid Romeo and Elix Skipper walking around Nashville and being disgusted by the horses and food. The graphic says they are coming soon. Kid Kash vs Shark Boy Shark Boy is comedy, Kash crushes him. Winner: Kid Kash @ 1:53 Before the match Jeremy Borash is with James Mitchell who informs us that The New Church is upon us and darkness will fall upon Impact Wrestling. Slash & Cobain w/ James Mitchell vs Tracy Smothers & Chris Hamrick A southern tag where both teams looked real good. Mitchell did help Slash and Cobain cheat to victory. Winners: Slash & Cobain @ 9:44 Don West is backstage to announce the challenger for the NWA World Heavyweight Title next week and he brings out Scott Hall. Hall talks about winning so many titles in his past, but never the World Title. This will be his chance, whether it's against Shamrock or Jarrett. Either way they will be going down. NWA X Division Champion AJ Styles vs James Maritato Maritato tries to ground AJ and does a good job of it, until AJ's comeback. AJ hits the Styles Clash for the win. Winner: AJ Styles @ 14:39 to retain the NWA X Division Title Homicide & Da Hit Squad are with Jeremy Borash backstage and they say nobody is safe in Impact Wrestling and the X Division and Tag Titles are going home with them. Borash tries to bring up that Homicide only beat Red with lots of help, but Homicide points out that Red may never return after the beating he took tonight. Steve Corino vs Vampire Warrior Corino puts away Warrior quickly with the Old School Explosion. Winner: Steve Corino @ 3:09 After the match Nelson Knight confronts Corino. The announcers pointed out that Corino blamed Knight for the six man tag lose on the debut show. As Knight gets in Corino's face, he is jumped by CW Anderson and Simon Diamond. As the beat down continues, security pulls them away. Corino, Anderson and Diamond hold up four fingers as the announcers speculate about what that all means. On the way to the ring BG James and Ron Killings jump Jarrett again and take out his knee. Jarrett demands the match goes on anyway. NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ken Shamrock vs Jeff Jarrett Shamrock toys with Jarrett and really attacks the leg. Jarrett has a small comeback, but as he goes for the figure-four Shamrock turns that into the Ankle Lock submission and Jarrett has to tap out. Winner: Ken Shamrock @ 11:40 The announcers hype up next week's Ken Shamrock title defense against Scott Hall. York & Matthews will also defend their NWA World Tag Team Titles against the incoming Dupp Brothers. What are the ramifications of Corino and his friends? What condition is Jarett and will he be able to stop James & Killings?

Yes, will edit now.
