Well based off that gif it didn't exactly look like Hunter had more than a split second to react. Not enough time to say, "Hey, a bad wig!" Why not just hire Jeff Farmer to play a bogus Sting on TV? If Steve Borden is limited due to his contract just do some fake Stings from a distance to keep the character on TV. "As of late 2010, Farmer is project manager of a research program known as GEAR (Genetics, Exercise, and Research) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The program aims to identify how "people's genetic background influences their response to physical activity" Also using fake Stings to pretend Sting is there is silly. Fake Stings work as a tease, not as a substitute.

http://placetobenation.com/pro-wrestling-super-show-ecw-heat-wave-98/ Host: Steven Graham Guests: Marc Clair (Lions of Liberty) & Glenn Butler (Wednesday Walk Around the Web) The ECW crew is back going through all of the pay-per-views. We stop on the very famous Heat Wave ’98 this week. Does it live up to the hype?

Shit the more I watch the more difficult this will be. The top heap is still Funk, Hansen, Flair, Lawler, Jumbo & Kawada with Santo, Bret and Rey Jr. pushing up there. Maybe even El Dandy and Satanico the more I watch. Fuchi is now on my list, thanks to the 90's stuff. More minis will be added as well as some ECW guys. Scorpio and Tajiri are locks, but Bigelow, Sabu and Bubba Ray are guys I'd consider. My question remains, how high can I put Dustin Rhodes. I think I will be the high voter on him, but how high can I go?

I'm not going to go with Arn, but definitely the Regal match. As for Kid, off the top of my head for singles matches: vs Jerry Lynn (PWA, 5/17/91) vs Wellington Wilkins Jr. (PWA, 6/10/91) vs Sabu (NWA, 4/17/93) vs Bret Hart (WWF Raw, 7/11/94) and probably another Lynn match, but there is too many to chose from. I think those matches are as good as the best Arn singles matches, probably even better.

See the thread for the latest WTBBP. My argument for Waltman is that he is the greatest wrestler ever at timing high spots. His selling was absolutely top notch. Had an amazing move set and was great in a variety or roles. Arn is great, but was more steady while Waltman brings the variety. It's not a blow away win for Watlman, but I think it's damn close. Also he was pretty awesome from 1990 to 2002. That's not that short.

The problem is that Vince was so stupid that he didn't want to go with Bryan after what happened last year and had to cave again. Everybody knew Bryan was the right choice in the beginning.

A shade smarter than the people that keep giving them money. Too bad it's a lot less money then they have got in the past. Don't try to delude yourself into thinking this company is doing good things, because they are profitable. They have a great business model and a loyal fanbase. The loyal fanbase just happens to be a lot lower than the fanbase they have had in the past.
-
Cena vs Dolph or Dean or Luke Harper?
-
So, two years in a row the company rejects Bryan and the crowd tells them what they want and he is added in a three-way at Mania. How fucking stupid is this compnay?

Are there any wrestlers from Spain actually in the company? Seriously though, some would probably get upset or confused about being listed as being "Spanish". Oddly enough Kane was born in Spain, but wouldn't count as Spanish lol. I'm also curious if you counted Seth Rollins as Hispanic and Damian Sandow as Arabic, or if they both got put in the "white" category? Rollins and Sandow were in the white category, because I had no idea otherwise. I apologize for calling the Puero Ricans spanish.

Millennials (also known as the Millennial Generation[1] or Generation Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates when the generation starts and ends. Researchers and commentators use birth years ranging from the early 1980s to the early 2000s.

I think living in Toronto, which is the most multicultural city in the world, makes the WWE look so white washed.
-
Since the WWE is the largest wrestling company in the world who tries to appeal everywhere and have TV deals and tours everywhere you would expect them to have some diversity. It turns out, it's pretty lacking. First there are 53 wrestlers on the active main roster and 43 of them are male which is 81.1%. 38 of those 43 males are American at 88.4%. What about this, 12 of the males are either black, Spanish or Samoan. So, yes, 72.1% of the male roster is white males. Those numbers seem way too high. I think if you are trying to appeal to a mass audience around the world, maybe the WWE should mix it up a bit. Obviously they should focus on the ones that will make them the most money, but we all know that is not what they do either. I doubt this is really on purpose. I'm not saying the WWE is a racist sexist company or anything.
-
From what I understand you send Dave e-mails, have a podcast/article and get recommended by other voters are the key ingredients.
-
It's hard to believe that the WWE is so stupid that they are running Triple H vs Sting and not something that actually builds up the future like Rusev-Sting or Luke Harper-Sting or Bray-Sting.
-
Exactly. Imagine Shonnen running through everyone and Rusev eventually turning face as the only man who can stop them? MONEY!

That Smelly McUgly is a great explanation and is probably spot on. Don't discount the great ring work.
