Planet Stasiak should have been given more time.
Dude love was the underated Mick-Foley alter-ego.
I marked for the NWO in WCW, and even when they were back in the WWE.
Goldust should be given another push as a singles wrestler.
I watch TNA occasionally, but it's still WWE to me damnit!
Hulk still rules, brother!
I was impressed with Chris Masters debut and the Masterlock challenges.
Sting has never really appealed to me
Test wasn't that bad, and I also used to mark for Albert!
The WWE gang wars of 1997 were okay.

Here we go. IMO;
-Kurt Angle is my favorite wrestler of all time
-I actually miss 'Biker' Undertaker, especially as a heel. 'Big Evil' is much more entertaining that some guy that can shoot lightning bolts and roll his eyes into the back of his head (it's 2006, NOT 1994, supernatural gimmicks are stupid and should be a thing of the past)
-I've been a John Cena fan since September of 2002 (during his heel turn), and cheered him during the 'Hall Of Fame' induction ceremony AND at WrestleMania 22
-I like the WWE 'Brand Extension', and hope that it never ends. I'll never understand people that want the WWE to become a ClusterF**c of an organization by combining the rosters of over 100 workers, so that the same feuds are featured TWICE a week
-Ring Of Honor is one of the best wrestling organizations that I've EVER seen. ROH will be around for a LONG time, and has a VERY bright future.
-TNA !mpact is one of the worst booked wrestling shows of all time (and that includes the syndicated 'squash' programs of the 1980's).
-TNA should dump the 'six sided' ring, and go back to the traditional 'four sided' one.
-The WWF was more entertaining than WCW in 1996. Shawn Michaels was a pretty good WWF champion, and had good matches with people like The British Bulldog, Vader, and even Sid, (not to mention a solid midcard featuring guys like Stone Cold, Hunter Hearst Helmsly, Mankind, and Owen Hart) while WCW was pushing washed up guys like Hogan and Savage. The nWo angle started to suck the day that The Giant became a member. I thought that the nWo should have just featured ex WWF guys 'invading' WCW, which it did until The Giant joined (nWo members during that era included Hall, Nash, Hogan, Dibiase, Vincent, and Waltman). It would have been better if Luger, Savage, or Piper had joined instead of The Giant.
-Vince did what he had to do to protect his company at Survivor Series 1997. I do not, nor have I ever felt sorry for Bret Hart.
-And speaking of Bret, he's not the 'Best There Is, Best There Was, or the Best There Ever Will Be (Kurt Angle is). He's not even the Best Canadian wrestler ever (Chris Benoit is). Hell, he's not even the best wrestler of the Hart family (Owen was). Nevertheless, Bret is still a legend (and deserves his Hall Of Fame spot)
-I hate the 'Big Gold Belt' with a passion. WCW should have kept the belt that they used from 1991 to 1994 (the 'Vader' Belt) and 'retired' the 'Big Gold' when Flair and Sting 'unified' the title in June of 1994. If WWE ever 'unifies' their titles, I hope that the 'Undisputed' belt is the one that remains (the Lesnar/Eddie belt)
-Gene Snitsky is one of the funniest wrestlers EVER!!!
-I miss the days when wrestling fans could enjoy a variety of different organizations. In the 80's, most wrestling fans watched WWF, NWA Jim Crockett, AWA, World Class, UWF (Mid South), GLOW, and any local independent company in your area. Several fans these days are obsessed with TV ratings, PPV buy rates, and actually hope for a company to go out of business because of so called 'brand loyalty'. I blame much of this on the stupid 'Monday Night War' era of the 1990's
-My biggest 'mark out' moment in wrestling history happened when Arn Anderson pinned Hulk Hogan on WCW Nitro in early 1996. I jumped up and down and screamed like a little girl after that match.
-I enjoy watching almost any wrestling program on the air (even the suckfest know as TNA !mpact). I especially enjoy catching some local 'indy' action.
and last, but certainly not least,
-Rey Mysterio is my least favorite World Champion in wrestling history
There Ya Go!!!

Like a few who have already commented...
I also constantly go over storylines and the various angles that could develop out of them... particularly when I am with my friends at PPV's before the show starts.
Most of my predictions of future angles from said events come to reality.
I feel the WWE should return to an "Attitude" era LIKE approach focusing once again on the story and solid entertainment.
This "Safety First" approach while commendable has hampered the careers of solid performers who know the limits of their own Talent-- RVD, Paul London, The Hardy's are just a few small examples.
I have always believed that HHH has gotten more hell for his personal relationship with the McMahon family then he truely deserves. Yes, there may have been moments of Egomania, but far fewer then have been "reported" by current and former WWE employees.
I have a vast collection of DVD's of PPV's and what not related to wrestling. I constantly watch them over and over listening not to the commentary, but the performers (and ref) passing moves calling spots etc... I find it fasinating that WWE allows mic's so close to the ring and allow the audio to remain intact on such instances.
I lost ALL interest in Edge as a Wrestler when he and Christian split up... Great on the Mic, but poor work ethic in the ring in my opinion.
I firmly believe that Flair should be made GM of Raw and retired as a in-ring performer. Why? This way he still gets a paycheck to pay off his IRS debt and he can entertain us by staying healthy... maybe a match here and there but that is it!!
Viscera should lose 300 pounds.
The Divas....Get rid of the ones who can not wrestle!! The ones who can need to learn not to be afraid of breaking a nail in the ring... "Your getting paid a lot of money! Put some clothes on and fight!! Get a Black eye now and then!! WORK Damn you!!"
Speaking of Divas...the only ones who can wrestle IMHO are Trish, Victoria, and Molly Holly(if she would return).
Drug testing. I appreciate the concept, if you don't have a prescription for what your on your screwed and I will have no lost feelings for you when your gone.
Legit Drunk wrestlers in the ring...The only ones it has ever worked for is Andre the Giant, Hawk of the LOD, The Sandman, and Jake Roberts. And 2 are dead, the other is Missing, and The Sandman knows his limits. If your not one of these people, DON'T tempt fate you could kill someone!!
Bring back the Hebner's!! So what they tried to earn some extra money!! Give them a pay raise for crying out loud and they won't do it again!!
Bret Hart. Best is/was/will be...no. True he never hurt anyone(if he did not intentional), but he really needs to get over himself. If he ever did, who knows, he could have a great job in the WWE as a GM, Road agent, Writer, anything he WANTED!!! I respect you Bret, but Get over yourself for once!

No matter how many people say he's sloppy or overrated I still think the Rock is pretty damn good.
I STILL wish Jericho was the undisputed champion.
I have had mini-mark outs leading up to the DX reunion.
I have never been a Hulk Hogan fan. He just... bores me.
I thought Ultimate Warrior was going to be the next Hogan.
Brett Hart bores me.
I used to watch G.L.O.W. when I was young.
I STILL love Eric Bischoff.
I think Val Venis needs to be a main eventer, just without the porn star gimmick, and WITH hair.
I secretly pray Kaientai reforms.

Bret Hart is nothing short of brilliant. People should respect him even if they don't like him. Ric Flair is a whole lot of talk. Shawn Michaels, despite being a complete prick, was an brilliant performer. Scott Hall as Razor Ramon should've been the World Champ for at least a couple of months in the WWF. Same goes for Owen Hart. Mick Foley is more than an "glorified stuntman" Hulk Hogan never impressed me. Kevin Nash's only good matches were with Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Everything else Nash did was crap.
Oh yeah, and Triple H is overrated.
