Why the Young Stallions aren't getting a push? Magnum TA is overrated. Arn Anderson needs to win the NWA World title. Can Dusty Rhodes just go away? Hulk Hogan only knows 4 moves. If Ric Flair did it, you wouldn't say anything. Randy Savage is better than anyone in the WWF. Why is he not WWF champion? Terry Funk is old. Please retire.

Considering how last year, some people were complaining that an 8 month feud between the Kings of Wrestling and the Briscoes was "way too long," I can only imagine how everyone at the time would be unaccepting of the legendary lengthy feuds of the past.

We'd be gnashing our teeth over travesties like how a fresh young talent who's been big in Japan like Hulk Hogan is getting held down and BERRIED by Verne Gange. C'mon, how many times is Bockwinkel going to retain? If this keeps up, Hogan's credibility is going to be ruined forever, and no one will ever take him seriously. You know whats funny? even though you're joking that'd probably happen. Though to be fair that is one of the dumbest moves in history. They let hulkamania go. Seriously,I dont think it'd be like it is today. In the 70s,i dont see how it'd be bad. The style hadnt really of changed that drastically. In the 80s,you had mcmahon changing the game but there were more alternatives,so there was less to complain about. And for a while,the alternatives were pretty big. They could watch fcw,nwa,awa,stampede...you had so much going on that I dont see how they could complain. A stopped clock has to be right at least twice a day and wrestling fans would of had to of been happy with at least one of them. I see guys in wwe being iwc favorites and the iwc getting upset about them never winning the big one. I think the way we view some guys now would be interchanged with guys from the past. Kofi kingston would become tito santana,cm punk would become ric flair,and for some reason i see jake the snake roberts being seen the way christian is:the uber talented guy who deserves to carry the ball.

Actually, Magnum TA would be on the same level as AJ styles. Here's another one.. "WWF's gap between PPVs is too long, they should do it once a month".

There was a smart community in the 80s and they pretty much bashed the WWF's cartoonish direction under Vince Jr.

During the Reagan era we bought hundreds of wrestling magazines and went to all the house shows. Al Gore had not yet invented the Internet, thus no IWC.

Why is WWF holding down Lanny Poffo and Sam Houston??? Because Sam Houston is turrible... But yes, when in the hell will they push Lanny?! I heard Macho Man was related to him somehow.

I'm all for pushing younger/newer talent. I just think it's too early to be putting the belt on Hulk Hogan.
The NWA is killing singles wrestling. They might as well do away with the NWA championship if all they're going to do is tag teams.
Tommy Rich should be main eventing. He's getting berried in the midcard.
