*Sable showing sympathy for Owen Hart when she filed a lawsuit against the WWF. I absolutely cannot understand how this is a moronic comment. Because she used it as a spring-board for her B.S. 100 million dollar lawsuit against WWF where she claimed some wrestlers augered a hole in her dressing room wall and watched her get dressed. The moronic part is comparing her plight to that of a real tragedy that destroyed lives. Chick posed nude in Playboy. Came out on TV with painted hands over her breasts. She had no leg nipple to stand on.

Andre was over seven feet though wasn't he? Nope. He was about 6,8. Wikipedia says 7'4", imdb.com says 7', onlineworldofwrestling.com also says 7'4". Even his official website, www.andrethegiant.com/, says 7'4". I think it would a safe bet to say he was at least 7 feet tall.

I think it would a safe bet to say he was at least 7 feet tall. It changes due to his genetic condition causing him to lose height as he got older and deteriorated. I believe he was 7'4" at his height, no pun intended.

"I'd guess that Hulk Hogan has never been given one 5 star match rating in his career. I'd also bet that he had drawn more money in the wrestling business than all the 5 star rated wrestles combined."- Jerry Jarret. Now for those of you who don't know there have been four five star matches in the WWE/F Those matches were Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon (Ladder match) – WrestleMania X, March 20, 1994 Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart (Cage match) – SummerSlam, August 29, 1994 Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin (Submission match) – WrestleMania 13, March 23, 1997 Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker (Hell in a Cell match) – Badd Blood, October 5, 1997 So according to jerry Hulk Hogan has made more money then The Undertaker , Stone Cold Steve Austin , Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels combined....Hell even if you don't think those men combined made more money. You'd also have to add in Chris Benoit , Ricky Steamboat , Ric Flair and sting. Now hogan's made alot of money but more money then 'Taker , Austin , Hart , Michaels , Benoit , Steamboat , Flair and Sting combined is insane and I haven't even added in the japanese wrestlers yett. I think it may've been an overexaggeration to make a point, saying that having 5 star matches isn't what necessarily draws money. it was still an asinine statement because it overlooks the contributions of guys like Steve Austin who, on his own, was a bigger draw than Hogan.

I think he meant how it is used in smarky behavior when smarky fans use that term for there favorite indy guys and indy matches that maybe a thousand people have seen or Japan.

For some reason I thought this was going to be a Vampiro/Mil Mascaras thread.

As seen in the DVDVR sleaze thread... Sandman, from a hotel balcony: "2 Cold Scorpio ain't got on me!"

Not according to the Observer. I myself have my opinions on whats a 5 star match and disagree with some of the observer choice, but we all have different opinions on a 5 star match.

Not true on the Austin front. Also, think about what Hulk Hogan did to establish the WWF on the national stage. For that alone he "drew more than everyone combined" because he got the WWF back on network TV, was appearing in TV shows, movies, music videos, had music videos, had the first WWF wrestling figures, was apart of the hip MTV crowd (as it was jumping the shark). In that regard, Hogan made more money for the WWF than anyone else ever could have.
