I couldn't help but notice that the "Superstars of Wrestling" banners aren't blurred in the Danny Davis clip.  I'm guessing that is a mistake, but hopefully, it's intentional.

What, no Titus O'Neil? (I know, I know, but still.)

They don’t own the rights to the term

Vader/Monsoon was #10? It's like the only one I even remember from this list....

[MrElijah]

Vader might the only guy to actually hurt Monsoon like that. The only other time I can think of is that time The Brawler clocked Gorilla with a stool.

[Tom Turkey]

I wonder how many of these suspensions involved the suspended wrestler showing up anyway without incident.

I know.  That's why it's worth nothing that the banners are NOT blurred in this video.  Like I said, it's probably just an oversight and nothing more, but I'm hoping it means something has changed.

I think they can show if it is footage they own.

They just cant use the phrase for promotional/branding reasons.

It's "WWF" that they can't use in advertising but don't have to censor use when airing old stuff.  I'm talking about "Superstars of Wrestling," which WWE can't use at all (and is why the episodes on the Network start from April 1992 when the show's name was shortened to just WWF Superstars).

Crazy to me that #10 isn't way higher. It should be #2 at least.

BTW, when The Two Man Power Trip formed and beat down The Rock night after WM X7 didn't they have Vince "suspend" Rock on top of it to write him off until August?

[Vice honcho room temperature]

They didn't show Brock F-5ing Cole out of his shoes. Bullshit

[Slingshot Suplay]

Vader should be #1. It was especially shocking because no one ever put their hands on Gorilla.

Would a good comparison be if a heel attacked William Regal in NXT?

Every wrestler in NXT shows him the utmost respect. Even the heels call him Mr. Regal.
