I always thought Wrestlemania 9 got a bad rap. Not great, but Steiners vs. Headshrinkers is the best match on the show. HBK vs. Tatanka is good for 18 minutes with a countout finish. Bret and Yoko is perfectly fine for the nine minutes that it was. Lots of other stuff that gets shit on, but it could have been so much better. Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan - This is where you do it. Keep Flair around past the Rumble and Hogan goes over. Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect - This or the previous match is the main event. Have the great match that they always had. Randy Savage vs. Yokozuna - Savage is greatly underutilized after the 92 Survivor Series. He should have had a big match on every PPV. Matches vs. Shawn, Bret, Lex, ect. They really elevated Yoko in about 4-5 months. I keep his momentum going here. Doink vs. Undertaker - A great dynamic on different ends of the spectrum. Steiners vs. Money Inc. - Never had a big match on a PPV Lex Luger vs. Bob Backlund or Tito Santana. Quick win for Lex to build him up along the way for Bret. Maybe at King of the Ring. Razor Ramon vs. Jerry Lawler Owen Hart vs. Rick Martel - Neidhart got fired a month later. Could have had a tag match here. Ideally, you have Hogan vs. Bret at Summerslam that never materialized. Keep building Yoko and Luger as future Bret opponents. Bret should have held the title much longer than he did. Luger doesn't turn babyface so quickly as he fizzles out. Things were on the decline in 93, but WWF didn't put their best forward.

98,000 buys for All Elite between PPV and Streaming last weekend.

ShowBuzzDaily reports that Monday's episode of Raw averaged 2.15 million viewers, marking a new series low for the program. The previous low was set on Dec. 10, 2018 when the show averaged 2.19 million viewers. 1.89 million watched the last hour.

This is the same company that did the Piggy James angle about 10 years ago? Wasn't there a Carmella promo two days ago to open Smackdown talking about how she was much more attractive than Charlotte and Becky? ok

"I thought that they had a cool act in NXT and on the main roster, I don't get a thing out of them. I don't think their promos are particularly good. Their wrestling isn't good. I think Peyton Royce's transformation to look more attractive, I don't know. I don't want to say." - Dave "She was more attractive in NXT?" - Bryan "I thought so. Yes. To me, yes. But that's neither here nor there." - Dave "No one is saying she's unattractive everybody." - Bryan I know. No shit. I didn't say it at all. She doesn't stand out to me. When she was in NXT, she did..... She was a lot lighter." - Dave So if he leaves out that last line, would everyone be ok? When did he say that wasn't true or just an observation? Nobody has a problem with Dave saying they/she is not a over as they were in NXT. Everyone would agree with that. He thinks that her character (everything from her mic skills, wrestling, to her look) was better at NXT.

Today is the 20th anniversary of Goldberg and Hogan given away on Nitro after being announced on Thunder with three days build. The last great moment of WCW. How would you have better utilized the match and moment to make it bigger and more profitable than a one off on TV instead of a huge PPV? The Great American Bash was the previous month with Hogan and Bret vs. Piper and Savage. Goldberg defended the US Title vs. Konnan in a two minute match. The July PPV was Bash at the Beach. Just six days after the Nitro in the Georgia Dome. The famous Hogan/Rodman vs. DDP/Malone match. Goldberg defended the World Title vs. Curt Hennig in a four minute match. August was Road Wild, with Hogan/Bischoff vs. DDP/Leno Goldberg won a thrown together battle royal. Seems to me the better idea would have been to build up the Hogan and Goldberg match during this time while Hogan was doing is celebrity tags. It's obvious they had no plans for Goldberg his first couple months as champion. Goldberg wasn't even on Fall Brawl in September. Hogan would transition to the Warrior feud in Sept. and Oct. for Halloween Havoc before taking the rest of the year off. Could you have built all summer and fall long and have Hogan vs. Goldberg main event Starrcade that year instead of Nash and Goldberg? Goldberg also wasn't on the Nov. PPV, World War III. Seems like it would have been an easy call to have him win the 60 man Battle Royal and take down Hogan at Starrcade 98. 4 months between the Georgia Dome show and the Nov. PPV. I think the build in that time would have worked.

Where doesthe Steiners WWF Magazine cover from Oct. 1993 take place? It appears to be the Allentown, Pa. Fairgrounds from Sept. 6, 1993. http://prowrestling.wikia.com/wiki/Steiner_Brothers/Magazine_covers?file=October_1993_-_Vol._12%2C_No._10.jpg

It would also help if the top title was around for more than 5 PPV's a year.

What shows will he be suspended from? They are taped for a couple of months.

24 million people watched the NBA Finals last week. No basketball this week.

Jericho and Lesnar got into a backstage scuffle after the main event. http://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/brock-lesnar-chris-jericho-heated-altercation-summerslam-219211

Did Flair ever do anything with Dustin Rhodes?

Ambrose has a claim to challenge for the title after Mania. Best women's match on the main roster in a while. NXT tag had a hot crowd. Good enough for me for a house show.

Seems like they are going to go with Ambrose and Jericho for the IC Title.

I don't think that "family man" face Matt Hardy is going to last much longer.
