Those tights might be Goldberg's but they also look like they could be Luger's from his WCW days.

These type of questions are tough. If I pick a guy like Bret do I lose everything he did previously or did he just get like reincarnated back in his prime now as well? If I move him to today does that erase Bret vs Bulldog, Bret vs Owen, Bret vs Shawn, etc. or does it just mean he's somehow been put in a time machine and we just get more? If it's the second option I pick Bret.
If it's the first option, then I want to pick a guy who was really misused back then that would be better off now. In that case I'd pick a healthy and sober Razor Ramon. Scott Hall's entire career could have been so different if he'd just stayed off the alcohol and drugs. I'd also be interested to see what an older Jake the Snake would do today. Back in 1996 he was still only 41 years old. It was just a really hard 41.

The saddest part of this isn't that he wants to come back or even that he would come back. The saddest part is the pop that you know he'll get when he does come back. The boos will come from a small section of the audience but my concern is the overwhelming reception would be positive.

Hear me out on this one. Royal Rumble + WW3 + Bunkhouse Stampede. 60 guys, 3 rings, they enter in 1 minute intervals, and once they're all in then the winner is the first one to escape the cage. So do all three rings have a cage or are they all just under one huge colossal cage? And can eliminations take place before all sixty guys enter or is it just everyone stays in the ring until the end where then the match is decided by who can escape first? Three cages, that way you can have spots where someone thinks they're getting out only to be pushed into another cage. Maybe one cage is a special color and that's the one you need to escape out of. No eliminations, everyone is in the match until the last guy comes out, they get to be the freshest. Once all 60 are in the ring then they can escape. Like how War Games doesn't actually start until everyone is in the ring.

Thankfully this is not a HHH favorite, otherwise, come january we would get Royal Rumble: World War 3. Instead we are getting Royal Rumble: Bunkhouse Stampede. It's under Royal Rumble rules but except it's going to be in a steel cage. After about 12 hours it comes down to Cody and Solo Sikoa with the two then climbing to the top of the cage for no reason and Cody knocking him off after several bionic elbows to win. Hear me out on this one. Royal Rumble + WW3 + Bunkhouse Stampede. 60 guys, 3 rings, they enter in 1 minute intervals, and once they're all in then the winner is the first one to escape the cage.

Depends on my audience. When I was in college my friends got excited and wanted to watch after seeing a couple Mick Foley matches and the tag team main event from the first One Night Stand.
My wife on the other hand watched Bret Hart vs Bulldog from Summerslam 1992 and actually enjoyed it. It's my favorite match of all time so that's probably the one I'd go with.

He's not going to come back and job. He believes he was in the right, why would he put over guys who he thinks were in the wrong?
I just don't see anyway he comes back. He's already got his money, he hates the Elite, and he's clearly in awful head space.

Just based on the length of his career and being a top guy for basically all of it I'd have to think Flair has quite a list. Traveling NWA champion, worked with all the top WWF guys in the early 90's. WCW in the mid to late 90's. WWE guys. He's got like 50 years of opponents.

It sounds crazy but the Kelly Kelly/Balls Mahoney one was actually pretty well done if I remember right.

Joey Mercury had two shiners and a busted nose from a ladder match with the Hardy Boys.
Maybe not the same but Flair talked about how they took, I think Steamboat, backstage one night and roughed up his face with sandpaper so that it would look like he was really beat. I think maybe Ole punched him legit as well to swell his eye.

I feel like everything that needs to be said already has been about this particular hot take, but I just have to ask: outside of his catchphrases, can anybody remember a single really good promo that Road Dogg ever cut? Like, for as much talking as he used to do, it feels like he never really had anything to say. I was going to say the same thing. Road Dogg had one catchphrase that he repeated a million times and fans did it along with him. Does that really make him a great promo? I honestly can't remember him ever having a memorable promo. The weakest part of Bret's game was his promos and I still remember a significant amount of them beyond just "Best there is, was, or ever will be" catchphrase stuff. I actually think Bret in 1997 was a better promo than Road Dogg has ever been. Maybe that's a hot take but I think Bret peaked way higher as a promo guy than someone who just repeated a catchphrase.

That may be where the money is but Bret was a better wrestler and a better sports entertainer than Road Dogg. There is literally nothing in the wrestling industry that Road Dogg is better at than Bret Hart.

Judy Martin at Royal Rumble 89 ? She was like 35 and looked at least 70. This is a great one. I watched more of the 88 Survivor Series and thought she was like Moolah's age only to find out she was 33 years old at the time, and had just turned 33 a month before.

I'm a wrestling fan and that means I've cheered for bigger scumbags than this guy. He's tailor made for this profession. I don't like him but he's really good at this.

I was watching Survivor Series 1988 and Gorilla Monsoon made a comment about not being alive in 1936 as a response to a joke by Jesse Ventura. I was curious so I looked it up and sure enough, he was born in 1937. That means at Survivor Series 1988 he was 51 years old.
Currently Chris Jericho is 51 years old. Is there a person in the world who would watch Survivor Series 1988 and think that Monsoon is the same age as Jericho? Even Jesse was only 37, which is the same age as Happy Corbin, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens.
What other guys and girls were deceptively young/old? I'll take the obvious one, Michael Hayes is currently 63. That means when Dok Hendrix was running around in 1997 he was only 38 years old. Roughly the same age as present day Corey Graves.

He can be an uber-heel without having to go back to the Firm. The beatdown can have been legit and not a swerve but MJF still goes full on heel during or even after the match. It says a lot about my confidence in him that I think whatever they give him to do he'll make work.

I think this ends with his decision not to use the dynamite diamond ring coming back to bite him and he loses because of it. Sort of like Piper not using the bell at Wrestlemania 8. He realizes that he got soft and he comes back as the biggest heel imaginable before winning the title and starting a reign of terror in AEW.

Ya, I agree with the people above me. Build it for the return of Big E and make New Day the first champs.
