    They should just do a casket match then.Weirdly, I think that might draw.
  2. Vince didn't screw Canada. Canada screwed Canada. It'd be sort of funny if there was a backlash to this from the crowd next time they're in Canada for a Raw.
  3. Lance Russell and Ventura didn't really intersect in WCW, right?
  4. The funniest thing about Jericho was how he kept repeating what was going on, like he often does when he's talking to a guest and summing something up.
  5. Now if they decide to put Marco over Terrible (I kid).
  6. Bret didn't sue because he didn't want to hurt the rest of the boys. It's like you don't know him at all.
  7. And Bret was fairly amiable about that. He agreed to it. He said "okay, if this is what you need to do to save your business. This is where I thought I'd spend the rest of my career. I don't want to leave, but..." Do we buy that? I kind of do.
  8. Should have just put the belt on Shamrock.
  9. True or false(I'm not 100%): Bret was drawing in 97 and Flair was not in 91?

    The combo KO Punch/World's Strongest Slam is so great.
  11. On the other hand, just imagine the tag team potential.
  12. The bandanas felt like more of an issue to me.
  13. Thanks guys, I'm hoping to have some fun with it and maybe tackle things from some different angles.
  14. Dave was talking this week about how 10-15% of he people in Mexico city make comparable US city salaries and it's those that WWE/CMLL are targetting with their high ticket prices upcoming.
  15. I thought that was what they were going to do with the World title last year.
  16. There's always Rey Escorpion?
  17. They just signed a new contract and it's pretty obvious that they could increase half a rating point or decrease half a rating point and it probably wouldn't matter all that much. They'll always be considered insignificant. They should be gutting part of their tv for the network, absolutely. The TV deals are signed. The network is as much money as they can make from it right now.
  18. I would have never been in that spot because I would have had Eddie Gilbert as the Black Scorpion and ended Starccade with Windham as the SECOND Black Scorpion during a ref distraction and picking up the win after Sting gutted Gilbert and then done my Sid/Windham/Doom vs Flair/Arn/Sting/Luger Horsemen war.
  19. The Sting in the main event bit is interesting. It's hard to extrapolate back because obviously they weren't putting Windham in that match instead of Sting for no reason. I know it's giving them a ton of credit, but it really does feel to me that Sting vs Luger at Superbrawl was the plan all along. Luger was revealed relatively early as the force behind the packages. Now, there were ways to make that work still, but you'd have to rethink a lot of stuff. I think they wanted to create multiple programs instead of just one. They wanted to have Sting as a draw in a match and they wanted to have Luger in a draw in a match, both of them having titles, so they could promote multiple big matches at a time? I'm not sure if it worked but I get the mindset of what they were trying to do at least. Also, neither here nor there, but I thought Will's positivity on the podcast was great, even when he was just goofing.
  20. I'm sure glad they asked you guys what obscure Canadian footage they wanted you to see.
  21. And I figured that was the argument but he was hiding it behind semantics. If we're being perfectly frank.

    Why the hell can't they just give us Usos vs Rhodes already?
  23. I think there's some of that in the Savage vs Garvin cage match I like a lot. I did look at the World War III 97 line up though and it's pretty brutal when it comes to that skill set. Valentine was one of the only guys I could add.
  24. You know, I wonder if Savage could? Do we have evidence of that, maybe from ICW? Could have Piper? These are guys who I wonder if they were able to manage stuff like that back in 80/81. When Piper was US champ was there a need for that?
