  1. Was/is  Shawn a dick?  Sure.  He knew what cards were in his hand and what cards were in Vince's and he played them.  Go back and watch 1988-1991 Rockers matches and tell me you would ever see Shawn as the breakout singles star he went on to be.  He snitched on Marty and rode the rocket to the moon.  He did have some good matches though after the injury including the Flair match, a great match with Cena, and the Undertaker match you mentioned.  His feud with Jericho was great too.  Shawn knew Vince would cave to 95% of his demands and he took them.  The only thing that baffled me was why didn't Shawn attempt to get Vince to offer Hall and Nash more money to stay or to lure them back?  Was Shawn worried they would take his spot or did he just not care?

    That lawsuit seems doomed because all of those guys worked for multiple promotions. WWE should have more than enough plausible deniability. Also, plaintiff credibility might be an issue.

    Not only did many of them work for different promotions but many of them are still working!  So obviously they will argue their brains are so fucked up that they have to keep doing the thing that fucked their brain up to begin with.

     

    Sabu worked less than a full yr with WWE and the piece of garbage wants to go and try to collect a handout.

    Lou Marconi was a jobber for a handful of matches  he is known in Cleveland and Pittsburgh but nobody else knows who the guy is.  He is involved in this.

    What a waste of the courts time. 

  3. Sid had some unintentionally funny interviews everywhere he went  not to mention the squeegee incident, scissors, and softball.  Surprised Russo didn't combat Angle's 3 I's  with Sid's  3 S's     Squeegee. scissors, softball.    He could add a 4th and use Sid too just to trump him.

    I am a huge Shawn Michaels fan, but will always take great joy that after all the backstage politics and refusing to job during his younger years, he finally ran headfirst into a master political manipulator that not even he could overpower. No sympathy at all for HBK falling victim to Hogan working the situation to maximize his favor.

    You can't out brother the brother......Brother

    Came home for lunch today to find my wedding anniversary present was a copy of the December 1991 PWI 500.

    How cool is that? I married a good one.  Just had a quick browse and I'm desperate to join the Imaginary Wrestling Federation and call the Rick Rude Wrestling Trivia Hotline 1-900-420-RUDE "Goddamit Ultimo Necro, It's an upper body business".

    Goddam, now I gotta search out some old USWA matches.

     

     

    Also Ironic is you received 500 likes with this post.   If you are ever looking for Apter mags I am selling my collection of close to 700 of them including a ton of old WWF mags.  Feel free to message me.  Every time I read them I want to watch old WCW or SMW.

    This, IYH: International Incident and The SummerSlam '96, are prime examples of HBK being a total unprofessional dick. 

    The IYH I mentioned (and admittedly haven't watched in recent times, but kind of remember the spot) has a moment in the match where Vader has him in a bear hug, and Shawn just stands there. Granted, there was fan interference during it, but it wasn't effecting him. He's just...there...being hugged by the Mastadon, for a long time. 

    Unless I'm confusing it with the rematch at KOTR, the match you mention has him in a headlock spot, just laying there, talking to Earl like its nothing. You can even see fans in the front pointing at him, as if they're like, "Look at this asshole." 

    We all know it, so it's not an off-the-cuff, but he was a real asshole. He gets praise, and deservedly so for being a great performer. But he's like the musician who says they always give 100%, but in actuality, they do until they get a gig that doesn't have a large crowd and they tank every song and claim it's art or that the crowd wasn't appreciative. 

    Not to mention the human pinball example he set in his match with Hogan

    Cass needs another 1-2 years of seasoning before he's ready for any kind of a main event push. I love the dude but he looks like a deer caught in the headlights out there. Giving him a big push now before he's ready for and comfortable with the spot is asking for disaster. I know there's something to be said about trial by fire, but it's still way too soon for hum.

    I couldn't agree with you more.  He is like WWE's version of Moose.  I actually may take Moose over Cass only because Cass reminds me of Test or a Lance Hoyt.  I could see Cass as a monster heel being fed to Cena and Reigns but he hasn't done anything to prove himself yet.

    Both versions in WCW.

    I agree. I like the first version better than the second.  I always wanted the WCW CD when it came out but no stores near me carried it. My aunt whom lived in DC at the time lied and told me she ordered it for me.  25 yrs later and I have not forgiven or forgot

  9. Kind of surprised they still aren't on Roku.  When I can spend $10 a month and get highspotsondemand  with over 1000 shows I will do that anytime over new japan world.   Not to say I wouldn't still subscribe if and when they do get a Roku channel.  It's just sad that AIW, AAW, CZW, Chikara, and Progress can all have channels but New Japan doesn't

    Hopefully up and coming new stars Big Show, Kane, and Mark Henry are kept strong in the US vs THEM tag match.

    Slaughter is a traitor to his country after selling secrets to Saddam during the first Gulf War. I haven't forgotten about you Sarge!

    You must be forgetting when Duggan joined team Canada in WCW.  It's ok you aren't the only one who forgot
