I think Ring Of Hell speculated that Savage was on the booking committee when trying to piece together the affair. She wasn't on the road, so most likely whatever happened happened at his house during booking meetings by the pool.
They should've just come straight to me about this, I could have told them it was dreamed up by some goof on the old DVDVR board in the sleaze thread

Talking about under-representation, is Cesaro the one and only Swiss wrestler? Did he develop in a vacuum before being spotted by Chris Hero?

Recapping the Boneyard Match to Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls is just a million chef's kisses right there.
Which begs the question: why is Triple H's awesome WM entrance from when he used this dubbed over?

I’ve been on a bit of a Gary Albright kick recently, what happens if he doesn’t die in 2000? WCW and ECW was gone, NOAH was formed but never really promoted foreigners, what options are there for him? Zero 1?

I never had much of a problem with Kurt going over Joe, he was a huge get for the company and a big name so it makes no sense for him to job straight away and you had the problem of ending his undefeated streak. The amount of jobs he did to Angle afterward is where I have my issue.

Rewatching 91 WCW and Bobby Eaton's singles push is confusing the hell out of me.
He comes out in his old MX gear, crowd chants are piped in over the PA (to convince people to cheer him) and yet when the bell rings he just slots straight back into working as a heel. Perplexing that such a great mechanic doesn't seem to get it.

So either both companies had the same idea that failed for the same reason
Correct. I’d not heard Bruce talking about the 93 rumble (were they even in WWF then?) I just always remember hearing about the 94 KOTR in the early days of IWC.
I just recently watched the Flair/Steiner COTC match and it’s safe to say Scott would have bombed as champ. Plus Flair totally blew him up.
I liken 91 Scott Steiner to Ahmed Johnson: explosive and exciting to watch but reckless and lacking everywhere else

I really wish we'd have got Big Poppa Pump in 1994 WWF.
I've mentioned how Backlund seemed a "ehh no one else" choice. Steiner would have been phenomenal.
If the rumours are true, McMahon wanted to strap a rocket to Scott at KOTR 94 but he refused to keep the Steiners together

Thank you everyone for keeping me updated on how many likes and retweets a lame ass tweet from an utter nobody got. Great work.

The thing about Last of Us 1 is, once you've played the Left Behind DLC, you start thinking they were mad to have released it without that included originally.
I can’t say I enjoyed playing it perse but it added so many layers and nuance to the narrative that it’s definitely a must

I’d... probably be more inclined to watch that than current WWE

It's funny, when I think about all the times I saw Harley in All Japan, I can't say I know what his finisher was supposed to be. He just beat you with whatever he felt like.
“What do you want to do for the finish Harley?”
“What’s your finish?”
”Top rope drop kick”
*harley takes a drag of his cigarette* “I’ll move.”

You shut your heathen mouth. That was Harley's finisher, and when he did it with that slooooow falling tree crush to it it ruled.
I know, I know. I love Harley, and his methodical standing up and falling grind was great, but I just can’t see past Kellett these days.
Harley has had so many finishes over the years: stalling suplex, Indian deathlock, fisherman suplex, falling headbutt, diving headbutt. He was the man, I really need to get myself a tee from the PWT site, been meaning to since his death

One could argue that you could trace Izuka's decent into Iron Knuckled madness to this exact spot...
I remember wondering what happened to that guy some years ago, so I googled him and... yeah. Amazing

Indian Deathlock has got to be one of the worst submissions in history.
I wish I could find the gif of Les Kellett being sat in it nonplussed, but it appears LARIATOOO has had his twitter account suspended

Having been in the mire of early WCW lately, I believe this is the most underappreciated theme song in wrestling history:

Good news: Finally found a Johnny Valentine CAW for 2K19
Bad news: Wholly unrealistic as he allows himself to be irish whipped

I just got done watching GAB 90 for the first time in a long long time
. My word, Sting's promo after the match has to be the most underwhelming victory speech in history. Add to that surrounding himself with a bunch of has-beens (as disrespectful as that sounds) with a moniker like Dudes With Attitudes instead of a bunch of young up and comers and no wonder his first reign bombed.

I always thought it was Choshu responsible for picking up the pace when he jumped from New Japan.
I’m just going off what was written in Hansen’s book. Paraphrasing off the top of my head, when he came over he told Baba he wasn’t interested in working the classic style that was prevalent in AJPW back then and Baba told him he wanted him precisely because of how he worked as AJPW business was in the dumps and needed to change

Before Baba passed, he wanted Misawa, Kawada, Kobashi and Taue who are also referred to as the Four Pillars, to create a new in ring style
Your timeline is a bit hokey, there's like a seven year period between Baba giving these men the ball to run with and Baba's death. And even before that you've got Hansen being brought in as the instigator toward that more physical go-go-go AJPW style away from the classic NWA style with its emphasis on DQs

I was a Cornette fanboy until he got the reigns with ROH, then I understood how much of a fossil he is.
Could listen to him talk about the old days all day but it's pretty obvious to me he's just working everyone with his baseless opinions on current wrestling as it brings in listeners and creates controversy and is the only way to stay relevant

Bischoff is such a sad character. Calling his podcast “83 weeks” is like Al Bundy having a podcast called “Five Touchdowns.”
this is the best analogy for Bischoff I’ve ever heard

I watch wrestling and try to visit this board to discuss wrestling and escape reality for a bit, but sometimes this board (specifically this thread every month) has to head down that direction and is of no help.
This should be stickied as the first message on every monthly topic. I’m personally here to discuss wrestling, specifically the history of the sport, not he-said she-said gossip (even though I know that’s kind of what the IWC is built on... but with social media that has become its own abhorrent thing)
