Completely agree with Sting. Think the only other person I’d put in that class is Triple H from 00-05

Luke Gallows is trying to trademark the name "Sex Ferguson". I thought that was his name in Southpaw, but his Southpaw name was "Tex Ferguson". Now I'm confused which name he used in the indys.
Sex Ferguson was a character he did on on podcasts long before the Southpaw derivative

Fell pretty far behind but what are some of the best non-fiction stuff on WWE Network from the last two years or so to slam?
Highly recommend the new Untold about Triple H and Mick Foley’s feud.
As an aside, I found the HBK v Angle Untold a bit of an odd attempt at revisionism. It was a dream match when it happened for sure but I remember the consensus being it didn’t deliver at the time whereas the talking heads make out like it stole the show. Am I wrong?

I really don’t have anything anymore, it’s quite sad really. Used to have a full collection of WWF Spotlight magazines as well as WWF and WCW magazines covering 91-93. Lets not talk about selling off my full Hasbro and Galoob collection for £50 either...

You are correct. Chi-town Rumble was in February and Scott was canned after Ragin' Cajun in April.
Was that due to messing up all the match timings? Just watched Ragin Cajun and it’s pretty bizarre show and looks like it had hardly any crowd. So strange how Scott was the booker in wrestling from the mid 70s to the mid 80s then just couldn’t adapt.
My fave match of the Flair/Steamboat trilogy FWIW

Well, my attempt to derail this thread from that pointlessly asinine fucking talking point has obviously failed
-
He’d already gone by this point I think? The spike incident has happened, Arn and Tully have gone, Dillon is gone, Windham is gone after this event
-
I’m getting drunk and watching Chi-town Rumble 89 because, well, it’s Saturday. Mike Rotunda just won the TV title by raising his shoulder when him and Rick Steiner both had theirs down on the mat. The next match is Luger v Windham and has the same finish. Who booked this shit?

It ties into the controversy last week over Omega giving his jobber a competitive, back and forth match very well, because if you have a true mega-star, then there should be some guys who it's clear "not only is this guy not in the star's league- quite frankly, they're not even playing the star's sport."
I only just caught up on this ‘controversy’ and my major thought was: wait til all the people freaking out about this see Ricky Steamboat take on Bob Bradley at Clash V

Clowns are the natural enemy of cowboys then I presume

It disgusts me that 96 is classed as old school now, but anyway: I just saw a clip of Stone Cold winning a Slammy, walking off stage, then beating the piss out of Doink. Then, for some reason, the Blackjacks also join in beating up Doink. Were Windham and Bradshaw due to be paired with Stone Cold or something?

I’m disgusted there was an entire episode on the Stossel incident without an appearance or insight from Professor Steve Austin

HHH is an overachieving midcarder. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a match of his that made me think, “Shit, this dude HAS to be champion/in the main event.”
I’d probably agree with this and it seems I like him a lot more than most. I still maintain he’s the most naturally gifted heel since Rick Rude

Of course Triple H would be the executive who scouts all the top indie and international stars and gives them the opportunity to be signed by WWE
That’s William Regal

The fantasy feud I never knew I wanted

So is it safe to assume Kim is the proverbial ‘man behind the curtain’ who was the real brains behind Saul Goodman in BB?
also, FWIW, I was rooting for Lalo

Goddamnit I loved everything Brodie Lee did tonight.
The gimmick has surprised me actually. It’s like a more refined version of Sean O’Haire’s devil’s advocate character as opposed to the budget version of Ministry Undertaker I was expecting

I never thought we’d be fantasy booking Cobra and Pittman in 2020 but I’m glad we are

Some of it was scummy there, but there's enough of a track record there to say "no sympy."
Completely agree. I don’t know how maternity pay works in the US or with ‘independent contractors’ so that’s my only issue with her release. As for Mike he can piss off, he got what he wanted
”I want my release. I want my release. Of course I’ll re-sign. I want my release. I mean I don’t want my release right nowww!”

Gallows and Anderson are the only two that have shocked me

I always thought it was an atrocious attempt at showing a form of racial unity ala Michael Jackson’s black or white song. But... yeah.
I will say one thing, it was one of the most iconic WM images growing up

He does it near enough every four years. The time for him to run is sadly over I think
