    Gilbert has the personal connection, which is the trickiest part with this to me. I honestly would have ended the angle with the Starrcade match and had Sting crush him and go over huge. They'd had it as a focus for months by that point. But yeah, you could have transitioned Gilbert into a manager role and given him Hansen and the Master Blasters and run Hansen vs Sting. My long version is a lot more elaborate and involves Gilbert getting beaten to a pulp only for Windham to switch places with him and win the match leading to a Horsemen schism.

    It's like how the only match we have (that I know about) from the later Dibiase/El Matador feud in Dec 91-Jan 92 is the CV one with the manager Cam on Sherri the whole time. Now it's actually sort of entertaining especially when she begs off on Tito and goes "I ALWAYS LIKED YOU!" but it's sure as hell not a match.

    I think Savage has a slew of interacting matches in 92-93 WWF, though. I don't know if he thought he was getting the other guy over by giving him almost all of the offense or what? The worst I can think of is a Savage vs Buck match. Buck attacks him before the bell. Beats on him for a few minutes. Savage dodges a move, bodyslams him, hits the elbow.

    Most of the Pittman matches I was going to use for it have been taken off of youtube ages ago or are private now. I had a pretty good list at some point.

    Savage has so many of those in 95-96. You see a match and get excited because it's Savage vs someone interesting and that's what you get.

    I still feel guilty that i never did that Craig Pittman project.

    Crockett should have never bought that damn airplane!

    Tom, What did that air on? 91-92 WCW is amazing for the sheer number of fun and random matches they just gave away on random TV shows.

    What's the best Darsow/Neidhart match from FL? I see Hector Guerrero/Coco Samoa and Youngbloods as potential feuds.

    Matches of the month

    Matt D replied to Loss's topic in 1990

    Looking at this, you have Rockers vs Powers of Pain as your (solely) WWF MOTY at ****, followed by a tie between 12/28 Piper vs Perfect and 10/30 Rockers vs Harts at *** 3/4 each. Also, Lightning Kid vs Jerry Lynn (PWA 10/90) at ****3/4 is your US match of the year by this. Is that how you feel still?

    I know Buddy Rogers was one of Stevens mentors but I can't remember him bumping like that from the few matches I saw, but they may have been the wrong ones to see it in.

    From stuff from 92/93, I'd put in to the pot the MSG Nasty Boys vs Money Inc match, maybe one of the Natural Disasters ones (I'd have to rewatch), and I've got nothing against that Money Inc/Doink vs Tatanka/Steiners match. Razor/Marty vs IRS/Diesel is pretty fun too. If we're serious about making a top ten for Rotunda. The Rotunda vs Somers match from the AWA set is okay too.

    This is probably my favorite Piper match in WWF. It might be my favorite Perfect in WWF match too. It's one of my favorite WWF matches of the year.
  14. Matt D
    That is a daring choice.

    Short answer: Eddie Gilbert. The long answer involves a WarGames match with a new Horsemen of Barry/Sid/DOOM vs Flair/Arn/Sting/Luger at Wrestlewar, so we don't need to get into that. but yeah, Eddie Gilbert. No way Turner couldn't offer him enough to do it, even if he was living out his dream by being heel Lawler vs Lawler, basically.
  16. Matt D
    That's a boring answer. And not nearly as inspired as my fantasy booking. Either the short version or the long version.
  17. Matt D
    Alright, I'm putting this here and not in the general note or anywhere else. What's the best possible reveal for the Black Scorpion? What could have they done to make it work? I know who my choice would have been ultimately, but I'm curious what other people think.

    In elementary school, in 90, kids only cared about WWF. I had one friend who was the son of a friend of my mother's and that's who I got into WCW from. I think there was a good span of 6 months when I was only watching WWF and not watching WCW too. It was also a case that WWF ran the Boston Garden and WCW didn't run anywhere near me, really. The most important thing was this, though: Superstars came on at 12. Wrestling challenge came on at 1. When you're a kid in the 80s-early 90s, Saturday morning cartoons is a weekly routine. That was when you got your new cartoons for the week. Once noon hit, however, they were over and there was nothing else. Wrestling filled that gap so naturally. None of this answers the op though. My question on that is this: in the 80s, what percentage of everyone had cable?

    Dibiase did feud with Kerry but the timing of it was weird. Think it was mostly between the Rumble and Mania.

    Neither here nor there, but Lenny Lane has nothing good to say about Wilkins as a worker

    How the hell does Yoshi Tatsu still have a job?
  22. Matt D
    Well there's the story that London and Kendrick tell. About how they got to visit Titan Towers with Snitsky and they're walking with Shane McMahon who's super happy to see Gene, and as they walk by the LOD photo on the wall, Shane looks to them and goes "this is the last time tag team wrestling mattered to me." or something like that.

    This was a pretty good match. Fun back work by Martel, a nice visual reversal out of the crab, and the way Razor really had to struggle to get him up for Razor's Edge worked very well, whether it was a flub or not. Crowd loved the finish.
  24. Matt D
    On the one hand, this gambit seems so unbelievable to me, especially in WWF. On the other hand, that's basically what all the divas do now, so who knows?
  25. Matt D
    Pretty hilarious. Lawler was having a blast with this.
