Didn't Kool-Aid once offer one winner to make/create a Super Nintendo game? "Your very own story!" is what the commercial said. Did they only get to make the story, or did they also get to make some game design choices? Who won that, and was said game finished and released? (Or was there somehow no winner at all for one reason or another?)  |

I remember a time that Marv Albert got dragged on the court by Reggie Miller and was given a stunner. Marv then got David Stern to give him and the Knicks a game against the Pacers with himself at courtside. How is that different from WWE? Reggie drank Gatorade instead of beer after the game.

Ted DiBiase and Demolition had decent elbow drops occasionally.

Most Super Bowls this millennium. Seriously? The games have been fantastic since the turn of the century. From Super Bowl I in 1967 through Super Bowl XXXIII in 1999, there were eight games that were one possession games at the final score. That's eight over a 33-year span, a percentage of 24.2 percent. Meaning 75 percent of the time for 33 years, the biggest football game of the year was a laugher or over before the final whistle. From Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000 through Super Bowl LII in 2018, there were 12 games that were one possession games. That's 12 over a 19-year span, a percentage of 63.1 percent. So more than half the time since 2000, the Super Bowl has been a nailbiter that's come down to the final few moments. If I don't like the team that wins, it's a disappointment. |

The show had more Star Trek: The Next Generation cast members than the original show did.

It was changed since they think it sounds too close to "The Stripper" by David Ross. If you ask me, they should just dub in Simply Ravishing instead. Vince ain't gonna have a WCW theme song dubbing over music on his own show. |

Sorry most every fan I've encountered from there is a giant egotistical douche, there's a reason the term masshole exists. You probably haven't encountered many fans then. The majority of this fanbase that's 30+ is so used to being the "fellowship of the miserable" where everything and anything that could go wrong would go wrong they act like everything is going to turn out for the worst. Outside of the early 80's Celtics from the early 70's to 2000 this place was loserville. It was Cleveland. No disrespect, but...are you f***ing kidding me? Yeah, of the 8 times the Patriots made the playoffs between 1960 and 1996 they made the Super Bowl and got thwamped. They won less than 4 games the same amount of time during that run. They didn't have any "great" players to hang their hat on outside of a friggen Offensive Guard.
Red Sox made it to a World Series but they made it the PLAYOFFS nine times in 90 years until the won a World Series in 2004.
Trust me, they didn't call Boston Loserville for nothing.
Between 1957-1987, the Celtics won the NBA Title 16 times which somehow always gets forgotten in the "Woe is Boston!" narrative. You forgot that they won the Stanley Cup twice in that timeframe (1970, 1972). |

I heard that when Randy Savage took the Slim Jim deal to WCW, Vince never forgave him for that. I heard that when Randy Savage took his Slim Jim to Stephanie, Vince never forgave him for that.   |

I'm sure that someone will say "Hur hur, Stephanie", but I really think it's more simple than that. I think Vince truly thought in his heart that Savage wouldn't leave him and when he did, especially in the wake of Hogan going to WCW, it stung. It’s probably what you’re saying what happened. From what I gather, Randy promised to Vince that he would never leave him, this was during the darkest years of the wwe in which the company was in the red. I think Vince never forgave Randy for leaving during such a hard time. JJ Dillon was persona non grata for years and years because he did the same thing during that time. That being said, the problem with that is that Savage met with Vince years later when his wcw contract was up to see if they could work out a deal but wcw ended up offering way more. So if Vince was devastated and never forgave Savage for leaving, why he wished him luck when he left and then try to convince him into coming back? Meltzer speculates that the bad blood started years after Savage left and was in wcw for years. It wasn’t the Stephanie false rumor what happened but it was something personal that to this day Vince doesn’t want to talk about. I heard that when Randy Savage took the Slim Jim deal to WCW, Vince never forgave him for that. |

Let's see:
Longest undefeated streak? No. Andre The Giant went 15 years being undefeated (Bobby Heenan told me this and I'm sure he isn't a liar).
Longest title reign? No, Bruno has him beat...TWICE!
Biggest draw? Um...no.
The icon of pro wrestling? Nope. That distinction still belongs to Hulk Hogan.

Think of the best angles you've ever seen on WWE TV. How many of them involve semen, piss, shit or menstrual blood as a focal point? There's a reason the best TV shows written don't involve this stuff. Just because it exists doesn't mean I enjoy it on WWE or any wrestling show.  |
