Guessing if you wore this in public most people would assume it was a Death Metal record.
Dig the Dawn Of The Dead vibe it gives off

What is Flip even trying to imply? He doesn’t think the wildfires are real? He thinks the wildfires are pro-Canadian sympathizers? Illegal aliens? Democrats?
i mean, if you’re going to espouse some wacky conspiracy theory, would it be too much to ask that you tell me which wacky conspiracy theory you want me to buy into?
Canada does a better job of Raking the forest than California

I wonder if they would have done a one off on a B PPV for Hogan-Flair considering it didn't draw well. Do they just do it to do it and move on or just cancel the program

Are we assuming the non-big 4 PPV's are 2h, 5 match cards like the early IYH's?
We could have had that Steiners vs Bret/Owen match on PPV in late '93
Probably Savage vs Bret before WM IX or after X.
Flair-Perfect Loser leaves WWF would definitely be on PPV
Tatanka vs Yokozuna late '93 would have been a PPV match.
Razor Ramon vs Mr Perfect
Yokozuna vs Razor Ramon
Flair vs Piper in '91
I don't know how they'd get there, but I would have liked to see Bulldog vs Ultimate Warrior in 1991!
There are soooo many great possibilities, but there's a good chance that the actual PPV's that did happen in real life, wouldn't look anything like actually did, in this What If-time line.
Probably the Flair - Bret title change as well

I remember when Christian had his feud with Cena and was getting over with his "peeps". It seemed like the fans really wanted him to be a top guy so he gets cut off at the knees. So TNA for once did the smart thing by bringing him in and treating him like top guy (similar to TNA bringing in Rhino who was always over even when he was wrestling on Heat). Miro feels like this, a chance for a guy who should be a top guy to be on top. Not just some random WWE cast off

You know what I respect a lot more now than when I was a kid? A delayed vertical suplex. Not only does it take some strength from the dude doing the move, but the person taking it also has to keep themselves straight upright and that takes some core muscles.
I was gonna say the delayed vertical suplex, used to see them all the time now not so much. More big guys should use them to show off their strength

someone can correct me if i'm wrong, but it's my understanding that Jim Hellwig legally changed his name to "Warrior". just a one word name, not "Warrior Warrior".
if Dana Warrior is her legal name, then she chose to keep her first name and adopt his as her surname.
this is the story that I've heard. He changed his name to "Warrior" at some point he had to fill out a legal document and wrote Warrior in both spaces that asked first and last names. I guess someone saw this or it got leaked online and thats where the Warrior Warrior stuff came from

I believe he personally licensed The Hulk name from Marvel comics about 15 years ago. But my point was more about guys using gimmick names in setting that actors wouldn't

another major point of differentation
actors are credited under their real names. actors give interviews, as themselves, about the character. they are allowed to talk about past gigs. they can build a resume so that fans can recognize them.
WWE Superstars (TM) are only known or referred to by their character's name. they can't do interviews or podcasts, either as themselves or their characters, without WWE's permission (which they will not get). they can't reference past jobs. in short, they essentially are not allowed to build up their "shoot" name. this is WWE's way of ensuring that the only things of value belong to WWE.
this is on of the really unique things about wrestling. Kinda goes back to Hulk Hogans Gawker lawsuit (with Terry Bollea appearing on the Howard Stern show as Hulk Hogan). Sylvester Stallone doesn't do appearances or press as Rocky Balboa or John Rambo but Hulk Hogan or in this case Big E usually appear in public in character

One think that Pat was known for was being the 'finish" guy. I remember about the time he retired the seemingly didn't have a good finish for the Taker Mark Henry Casket match so thats another area that got hit

Because of this, the thought came into my head, "Does Vince ever watch back his shows to think about what to do going forward?"
He probably doesn't now, but maybe he used to? Anybody hear anything like that?
EDIT: Also, I hope Layfield asked Finlay which knee to swing at beforehand...
Apparently he used to book long term WM to WM, which is insane to think about considering all the last minute rewrites we have currently

For reasons that remain unclear, they did that match two days later on TV. Also, the New Breed actually went over. This fucking company...
My initial thought was they has another match that they wanted to save the hardcore spots for but the only thing like that was Money in the Bank its extra weird

Batista's matches with Undertaker were so great. If Batista could just wrestle 'Taker and HHH, he'd be a top 10 WWE guy of all time. The chemistry he had with those two was so crazy. What's Dave's best match against somebody not Undertaker or Triple H? Were the Mysterio matches any good? The LMS against Cena at the end of the "gimme my spotlight" run before his first retirement?
I don't know if this is the best answer but around this time He and MVP had some fun smackdown matches with MVP hitting some stiff mafia kicks (one time he went over turn buckles out of the ring and the other time over the guard rail)

Cena around this time reminds me of mid 90's HBK always over with women and kids but had trouble winning over the guys

So watching that jackknife comp, i realize that most of Kevin Nash's power bombs were basically gut wrench throws rather than power bombs lol
He also had a tendency to throw dudes onto their asses

Back when WWE was running the DIVA search they tried to have foxy boxing as one of the live competitions and I recall they had to change plans due to an issue with the commissions

How'd that work out for Steve Williams?

That kinda flukey win with Foleys reaction really help set up that Foley - Orton Hardcore match as well

I think doing a show from a Beach or Cruiseship like one of those Spring Break Nitros or early 90's Bash at the Beach could be fun. At least it would be visually different than the performance center which I thin we are all sick of

Ricochet is kinda like Bret Hart where the in-ring work is so good he doesn't need to be a great promo. How ever him and Konnan were a great combo in Lucha Underground so I feel like he's a victim of Vince "no managers" edict
