There's a battle royal on RAW in the fall of '93 to crown a new IC Champ that's pretty great. Was that the one where the last two participants (Razor Ramon and Rick Martel) fought the next week?

Rose needs to pop one too many mollys and turn into Leo Kruger again.

This is probably the most early 90s thing ever-

Same. I was almost hoping Gabriel would get released as well so they could do their thing on the indy circuit. I'm probably in the minority here but I'd love to see them against the Young Bucks.

You know how back in the early 90s you could buy those "calls from a Superstar" where a wrestler would supposedly call someone on a special occassion? They should offer the same service, but with Barrett being able to be hired to deliver bad news over the phone.

He doesn't strike me as having the chops for either of those. I assume if he had to retire and wanted to stay connected to the business a wrestling school would work. I would think every smark looking to break in would flock to be trained by one of their heroes. I could easily see him being made head trainer of NXT if he didn't want to go out on his own.

I remember watching this match on Raw and being on the edge of my seat. Towards the end of the match I started to think Owen might actually win the belt clean. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfcezu_shawn-michaels-vs-owen-hart_sport

The next time they have a show in Florida, I want to see Sandow come out in Lisa Simpson's Florida costume.

I was a big fan of Strong/Evans as well, they did some great stuff with Jacobs & Whitmer (another underrated team). It was an excellent combination of a power guy/flier.

Okay, that sounds amazing and not at all like a missed opportunity. Can someone explain the context of this? Samoa Joe has been kidnapped by ninjas! Are you a bad enough dude to rescue Samoa Joe? The angle could have been saved had they sent the Bad Dudes to rescue him.

I know there have been ROH shows in the Alexandria/Manasses/northern VA area which is the DC suburbs.

One of the first things I thought when Cesaro joined Heyman was how awesome it would have been if Hero had worked out and the Kings of Wrestling became Paul Heyman guys.

Orton should just wear a suit with no slacks during Evolution promo segments. /I wore such an ensemble to the Rocky Horror Picture Show once.

Whenever I'm wearing a jacket, I channel Ric Flair when taking it off by throwing it on the ground and dropping an elbow.

What I do like about all this is that it's not obvious where things are going right now and that the unpredictability could potentially lead to some interesting angles. Of course I don't have an overabundance of faith that the WWE won't botch things completely, but what they do with Rollins and the world title picture is ambiguous enough to be interesting at this point. It seems as if they're really playing Bryan's health situation by ear as far as what they do with the world title - either have some bullshit match with Kane, maybe where he gets himself DQed right off the bad and doesn't do anything that physical just to keep from being stripped of the belt for non-defense or if they're actually going to pull the trigger on someone new (possibly Cesaro) being a transitional champ. I'm pretty sure that by Survivor Series they'll play up Rollins having some big moral crisis and eventually turn on HHH and company to re-join the Shield, but in the meantime I'm interested in how it plays out. Rollins getting some singles time to shine would be nice and freshen things up a bit, as would seeing Reigns and Ambrose fight some other people.

PWI et al used to talk about him as if he were the next big thing before he went to WCW. He definitely had a lot of the tools to be a big player and always tried his best with whatever he was given. I had hoped he'd have a decent run post-WCW but I guess WWE were never interested, plus he probably makes a better living as a physical therapist anyways. I've been trying to find a Devon Storm/Sabu match from WCW Worldwide forever but have always come up short.

Work was really busy tonight so I had the show on mute and wasn't really paying attention to it for most of the evening. I'm reserving judgement for the Rollins turn until they actually explain it. The options I can think of are him being tired of holding shit together for Reins and Ambrose, HHH simply paying him off, or some bullshit like they did with Big Show where HHH bought the mortgage to Rollins' house and is holding it over his head.

Wyatt/Cena was a hell of a lot better than I was expecting it to be. I'm hoping they move onto something else for both guys now. Breaking up the Rhodes was the most telegraphed thing ever, not to mention a terrible idea as neither one will stay over outside of the team. I get needing to have the Usos in Cena's corner but if they were going to do this they could have at least had this match be for the tag titles or #1 contender or something to make it seem like it had meaning instead of a vehicle to the obvious breakup. That Kane/Bo/Kofi bit was the most pointless thing ever. Main was decent but Evolution having that massively long stretch where they dominated really sucked the heat away. I really hope they put Alicia, Sandow, and Swagger in a JOB Squad type group of people who snapped due to excessive losing.

Tango & Cash and Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man - two 80s (or early 90s, which is practically the same thing) buddy cop movies that are so trope-heavy that they border on self-parody but are also awesome and really should have spawned sequels.

I hope nobody pees on him.

I don't have my tapes of 02 ROH anymore but I recall Cornio sucking on commentary then too. But like I've said before, I'm ok with him commentating if it keeps him from wrestling.
