He should just retire unless he needs the money. He wouldn't fit anywhere in the WWE, and just not be used. He is a former WHC. If there is room for a guy like Goldust in WWE, why not Booker T, multiple World Champion? |

So he is in good company with guys like Mysterio and Orton. They each have one and in Orton's case, manned up and took responsibility. In Rey's case, he is a huge draw. Booker is neither. Two, one, the number means nothing to me. A guy can get cleaned up after two strikes just as easily as one. Regal has had two violations and he is still employed and pushed well in ECW, he is also much less a draw than Booker. Should he be fired now? |

I dont see why people care about DVDs anyways. If you dont like it dont buy it. Pretty simple.
Getting a DVD doesn't mean you are suddenly a Hall of Famer. It just means you are fairly popular and WWE thinks your fans will pay for it.

Why? He is a two time Wellness failure who refused to take responsibility for his failures and, pulled this crap everytime his contract came up in WWE. May he never return. So he is in good company with guys like Mysterio and Orton. I, for one, would like to see him back. He has been good in TNA but WWE could use him more. Plus he has always been one of my faves. |

Steve Austin in the attitude era always seemed to get caught by a camera whilst blading. I may be wrong but I think this happened during the first blood match with 'Taker in 1999... I think Austin knew this himself too. I always remember noticing that he would constantly pull out that old obvious blade spot, where the guy gets nailed and then falls face first on the floor and keep his hands covering his head while he layed there. He did that constantly. May as well yelled out BLADING BRB everytime he did it. |

What a pointless angle. What was in the bag? A sack of particularly potent weed. |

Goldberg doesn't deserve blame any more than say, D Lo deserves blame for ending the career of Droz. Accidents happen.
Owen Hart botched a piledriver and cut Austins career in half, but you dont hear anyone blame him for that since he is popular and Goldberg isn't.
I blame WCW and the doctors they used for what happened to Bret Hart. Not Goldberg.

A lot of us never saw Stud during his days of being great. Who knows maybe he was good as Bret? Given all the guys he trained and judging by his sons he had to be an exceptional wrestler. |

Like everyone is saying, too early, but if it is heavy on matches, it should be really good. He's had tons of great free TV matches that have yet to receive a DVD release. Exactly. Plus I would rather they go ahead and do this now so we have more of his matches on DVD. This guy is just going to be putting out more classics for years to come, so its better to have as many as possible on DVD. If they waited another four years to do this the match selection process would probably be very difficult and a lot would have to be left out. |

Stu would probably win this if I had ever seen his work.
I never did though, so the obvious answer for me is Bret.

And yet, Jericho still doesn't have one. Aren't they currently working on one? Yes. As far as it being too soon, perhaps. However, Morrison is probably the only younger guy I can think of who already has had enough spectacular matches to fill a DVD with. So its nothing to complain about. |

IMO, along with Morrison, Swagger, Miz and MAYBE Kofi this guy is going to be one of WWEs future superstars.
In fact, he is more ready than any of them right now. He just has it.

I dont think anyone ever annoyed me more than X Pac.
At least, nobody that got a similar push.

Hogan vs. Warrior should probably be on everyones top matches lists. If nothing else, from a purely historical perspective.
I am actually glad they didn't have a rematch the following year or in WWF at all. It would have made this one feel less special. Plus we all know Hogan would have wanted his win back.

I like Tiffany. From what I have seen, she has more charisma than Vickie Guerrero.
Who was defended by a bunch of people on here because she "got heat." Its not hard to get heat when you dominate the show, give the top heel an advantage over faces any chance you get, and have a voice that makes people want to take up cutting.
Anyway, she is better than Vickie in the mic and charisma department, plus she is one of the hotter divas. That helps. I didn't like her as GM but she won me over and I think she has done a good job.

It's a little disingenuous just in that there are two world titles these days. I'd be a bit like clocking up the number of World & IC title switches each year pre-brand split for example. Recent switches may also be more due to an alternative to Cena's year-long run, you can't just keep doing that for. I get the general point though. Month-long reigns don't do much for me, although it's been worse in the past. Jeff Jarrett is a 4-time WCW Heavyweight Champion...all of which came over a space of about 6 weeks. That's just crazy, plain and simple. We are like three years removed from Cenas year long run. So if they wanted to provide an alternative with all these changes, well...its a bit too late for that. Its almost worse to me when there are TWO world titles and both of them changed hands so much. When you only have one belt and a stacked roster I can kind of understand more title changes, but two belts with two entirely different sets of talent where they hot potato it between the same couple guys most of the year is just ridiculous to me. Personally I dont see a need for a title to change hands more than around 5 times over the course of the year. Maybe one more or one less, but when you are getting near or into the double digits it makes the title seem like it means nothing. |

I actually thought Edge and Michaels before I read this thread. But Rival-Edge and Opponent-Michaels is a great way to put it. I really hope we get another Michaels/Cena feud at some point. If Cena wins at BR, that'd be a great feud to close the year or start off next year. Agreed. It would be really awesome if HBK turned heel for it too. I was hoping he would for WM 23 but it never happened. Imagine heel HBK at his best facing off with Cena? It would be the best of both worlds since he was the original "Rated R Superstar." |

This is somewhat unrelated, but why the hell doesn't Ryder have his own Wikipedia page yet?
Most freakin INDIE wrestlers do. ABRAHAM WASHINGTON does and he doesn't even do anything of note! Surely Ryder has to have at least one fan out there who would have done it by now. The guy is on national TV every week!
It just sorta blew my mind when I Wiki'd him tonight.

HHH/Jericho = Hogan/Savage Both great but one always has the slight advantage over the other. Its a show, the greatest show ever created, and I accept that. Slight advantage? Savage to my recollection never defeated Hulk Hogan, ever. Maybe by DQ or something but he never pinned him. Jericho has beaten HHH one time according to this thread, and I cant even remember it since it was on some long ago SD episode. That isnt a slight advantage. Thats one sided. |

Losing confidence in your ring work? You know what he needs...  Will he subsequently drop the Tombstone and take up use of the F-U? If he starts taking Viagra, the Tombstone would be doubly effective. Takers opponents better start sewing their mouths shut. |
