The original Masters of the Universe franchise only lasted from 1982-1987, yet He-Man is still seen as an 80s icon.

Times are tough, I heard Proboards is going to let Angry Blue Bear go.

I've seen people on websites who dont even like wrestling use the term heel turn or face turn when referring to characters in fiction (and sometimes in real life, but lets not talk about that). Has the term transcended wrestling fandom?

FANs from Texas,,is this for real?
I've watched it multiple times, and I'm not sure if its a parody or not.

More and more lost media that was almost impossible to see has been found lately (last year saw Turn-On, previously only available at the Paley Center, make its way to Youtube), so I'm confident this will resurface.

They should try to get Khali to be the new Ed (the real tall cop whose face you never saw).

Wonder if they'll do a search for the Road Warriors' shoulderpads. They've got Paul Ellering on the roster so they have someone to tell LOD stories in between the segments.

I used to hope there was a math man segment every episode. Dude always died though I remember one segment where Mr. Glitch just cut out the middleman and killed him before the game even started proper.

I may have done this thread before, but I cant find it. What would you say Hogan's best singles match (multi-man matches are too easy) were? I remember he had a pretty fun one against Sting in the fall of 1995, and for NWO stuff, the match against Goldberg was a perfectly fine match.

The ep with Mick Foley aired today. He did a pretty good job, though it was odd hearing him play a sterotypical "mean" wrestler.

Freddie Blassie's book is a pretty fun read.

I think the first 'official' TLC match at Summerslam 2000 is overlooked as it's sandwiched by the two Wrestlemania matches the three teams had. I guess it's not technically a WM rematch as Shawn wasn't involved and it's a Benoit match so it's never going to be mentioned or celebrated much for obvious reasons but HHH and Benoit had a mental Iron Man match on Raw to put a bow on their February-June 2004 feud which had Eugene taking out all of the members of Evolution and Uncle Eric on his own. Despite how distasteful and career-limiting his character was, Dimsmore got a massive push that summer. Speaking of Benoit, he and Orton had a rematch the night after Summerslam 04.

What are some rematches to classic matches that arent as well-remembered as their first match? I'd argue Steve Austin vs Kurt Angle from Unforgiven 01. Nowhere near as memorable as the Summerslam 01 match (though at least Angle won the title in this one).

Not giving Booker/Braun/Cessaro/insert wrestler here the belt at the peak of their popularity.

(since the Original thread got locked)
Figured I'd bring back this thread. I've said this elsewhere, but a lot of 70s police/detective/private eye type shows from the 70s seem to be forgotten, despite having numerous episodes and being huge back in their day. Columbo gained an unexpected following among young people (especially since it was so prominent on FAST sites), but as for others, Quincy is more known for the unintentional humor of the punk rock episode, McCloud is more known as an MST3K running gag, Rockford Files is more known for its awesome theme song, and stuff like Cannon and The Streets of San Francisco are only known to hardcore 70s tv fans.

Let's say Vince suddenly got disillusioned with the business by 2014 and allowed HHH to take over. Would he be doing better or worse than he's currrently doing?

Is there another decade that has such a distinct sound? You can find elements of 60's pop and 70's disco in music today, but with the 80's, it's like everything just stayed in that decade (with a few exceptions). I still see lots of elements of 80s dance pop in modern pop today.
