There is that as well = Argue Michaels' placement, and add personal feelings about his IRL persona into the equation all you want, but he should be in conversations among the best of all time as an in-ring performer and as a pro-wrestling character. Triple H? Not so much! When the best attributes you can say is that he was/is a masterful backstage politician, his in ring character and performer probably leads much to be desired. You guys should just do a three hour breakdown of the Wrestlemania XXV main event.

Hey! That's not a big picture I care about. I mean it is, if DirectTV thinks it's the big picture too and will show a level of brinkmanship that they wouldn't have otherwise and we get some awesome Vince attitude on TV. Part of me thinks that there's almost no better way to drive people to the WWE Network than having DirectTV no longer show PPVs.

He'll just have to show up dressed as a woman like at Uncensored 95.

I would think the guys on top would be taken care of somehow. A Fandango or R-Truth might be a bit more in trouble.

The PWO twitter account should tweet a trophy jpeg to whoever is in the match that wins every week.

I also honestly think a lot of piracy comes out of the UK.

Also, more Negro Casas.

They also had the tag match that fits into the feud.

Maybe if they give him a cooking show.

http://deathvalleydriver.com/forum/index.p...-1980s-project/ The level of difficulty in watching these matches is way higher than in the AWA set so there is discussion but it's slow going. I seriously need to get back to watching. I'm going to have to do a rewatch of pretty much everything if I want to do a ballot.

You really want to watch Legends House?

i'm actually a little worried this will do me more harm than good in the short term depending on crackdowns on stuff that they're not planning on adding anytime soon. I figure, worst case, it'll lead me to helping someone afford an even better helmet and watching a lot of Jerry Lawler or something.

We really didn't come out of this knowing anything that wasn't already suspected except for some of the new shows. I'll be more interested in a few days/weeks/months when we learn more about the old B/C shows and the territories since that's most of what I watch.

What a "PPV" means now sort of changes in general.

In that case it's probably karma.

Which is a shame since then we could have gotten a poorly drawn Nord instead.

It was usually the other guy writing it up and making Brody pictures though. Early on at least.

Read through all two decades ago. Two telling things: * he came right back into writing the WON almost instantly * he spent a significant amount of time covering the WWE in 1984-85, more than any single promotion I think if one looks at the 1986-89 WON's where he finally settled into the weekly format and coverage pattern that he largely still follows today with minor tweaks, the coverage of the WWF was significant. Did he enjoy the quality of WWF work? Not a ton of it. But then again, not a lot of hardcores did... and that wasn't really the influence of Dave. They all preferred what they grew up on, and generally saw the WWF as weaker / less entertaining / less fun. There are some WWF backers, but they were a smaller, less vocal group of writer-fans in the Letters Section. John From reading the 84-87 ones, I was always way more frustrated with the AWA coverage while watching the set.

Neither here nor there but I think reading through the WONs from the start of 84 to the issue where he says that he's quitting the Wrestling Observer as it was (APRIL 15, 1985) is pretty fascinating when it comes to how he sees WWF and his general optimism level.

Well that's certainly a no brainer.

Do they want to mess around with that while negotiating for new TV deals?
