  1. The Horsemen were racists, though. That's why they would go heel on him?
  2. Scorpio. One of the most over guys on the roster and it'd be huge when they went heel on him.
  3. I wrote an article on Dustin's early career recently and I went back to look at the WON thoughts on Halloween Havoc 91 in the process. Dave gave them 3.5 stars and praised both guys so the worm turned pretty quickly there.
  4. I really think they should have done a one night tournament on the network to decide the title and then did what they were going to do anyway instead of the injury for MITB (which is a draw in and of itself), just subbing the new champ in vs Kane. They should do a KOTR on it now. Something that feels important that you just can't get any other way but that also doesn't take away from their usual PPVs.
  5. Remember those were put together a whole ago. WWE is in budget cutting mode and can't afford not to use content they already paid for.
  6. If it's the global public, it's probably Luis Suárez
  7. I will graciously not see whatever you edited out because I was asleep during that period. Anyway, we don't count. It's the casuals. But yeah, I made sure to watch the SD after Eddy won the belt when I hadn't been able to see it for a while, because I wanted to see what kind of celebration he had.
  8. I'd credit the team not one guy. Who watches a wrestling show based solely on who's on top? It's a TV show, the supporting cast and quality of the entire show are just as important, if not more important ,as who the top guy is Johnny Sorrow seyz: There are no draws. Now tackle "Workrate dogmatism." I can't get that to sink in yet.
  9. To be fair, he was crossfit athlete of the month. http://crossfitunsalted.com/chris-athlete-of-the-month/
  10. Also, remember the time Jericho got pissed at the internet for not going nuts over a match he had with RVD of all people?
  11. For want of a nail.
  12. Too bad Ron H20 Waterman was a year or two off of this. Cliff Compton?
  13. Were there any local promotions?
  14. See, the idea is that a few elites took charge of the entire country and suddenly everyone knew Issac Yankem was Kane. Obviously Keith is Stalin.
  15. Let's get back to my Russian Revolution analogy from page 2.
  16. Obviously the answer is AJ Styles.
  17. I read a lot of Hyatte when I was 17. It took me forever to remember that guy's name.
  18. Batista got to end the night at WM 21, not Cena. In WWE's ideal world of the time, he was the guy who was going to break out.
  19. I think the answer is probably just more Batista.

    The explosion fist noise he makes when punching is absolutely the same one my kid makes when simulating any sort of explosion.

    Psst. Fancam it for us.
  22. What do we know about Roop and Sullivan allegedly trying to steal Shire's territory in 77?

  24. The sabermetric mentality that sprung up in the 80s when Bill James was writing the Abstracts is largely the same as today. It really doesn't matter whether the statheads of today having read Bill and are instead influenced by Tom Tango. In the end, Tom Tango would admit being influenced directly and indirectly by Bill, even if he disagrees with Bill on a number of things. Would you say the fact the mentality is taken on by a much larger number of people than back then matters?
  25. I would argue that the hardcore mentality that existed before the internet could still be the mentality of the historical IWC. It's just the hardcores plus the kids who stumbled into their mentality once the means to stumble in on a broader level existed.
