Rhyno. How could they have screwed this up? This guy looked like he was on his way to the title when he was the man Jericho couldn't beat and then he got injured and they forgot about him. Then he broke a potplant (A FRIGGIN' POTPLANT VINCE!) and it was over.

The thing that always bothered me about Awesome, is WWE turned Albert the Hip Hop Hippo into A-Train, and released Awesome at the same time. I always wished it was Awesome that got the A-Train push, they wouldnt even have to change the name, just give it to Awesome instead, plus he wasnt doing much, so a big push out of no where could have worked.

GOD that sucks. Man, how the hell did I miss the Hennig/Hogan stuff? I used to watch WWF all the damn time back then, with my Grandpa. I just never remember them wrestling each other in a full match. I remember Perfect smashing the title......but I thought that was done more for Andre/Heenan/Savage or somesuch than for Perfect himself. Regardless.....Curt Hennig deserved a WWF Title run. They had a string of house show main events in late-1989, and surprisingly, Perfect won most (if not all) of them via countout or DQ. Back then, the WWF would start feuds on TV just to promote them on the house show circuit, since there weren't 700 PPV's a year like there are now. Their TV feud wasn't that significant, but at that time, any Hogan feud (even a transitional feud) was big. The feud started when Genius beat Hogan by countout due to Perfect's interference. Perfect then stole the title and destroyed it with a hammer, while Hogan vowed revenge at the end of the show (that was the beginning of their string of house show matches). Hogan and Perfect were then the last two men in the Rumble, which Hogan won. Then they had a tag match with Hogan/Warrior vs. Perfect/Genius, which transitioned into the Hogan/Warrior feud while Perfect drifted into a feud with Beefcake. I guess the real end of the Hogan/Perfect feud happened on the first SNME after WrestleMania VI when Hogan pinned Perfect clean. As for Hennig with the WWF title, I said this in another thread, but I just don't think the WWF ever saw Hennig as a main eventer, for whatever reason. He was never going to win the title in Hogan's era, but he had a chance in 1993 when everyone and their mother left the company (or so it seemed). But they just never wanted Hennig in the main event spot. Regardless, he was a fantastic IC champion, back when the title actually meant something.
