Little booklet?! Grandma would always get the GIANT FUCKING satellite tv guide.

That HBO gimmick screams my childhood. I get borderline teary eyed.

Exactly. The kids still have their head up their ass. Shit, I used to as well. Real life always wins out though. Some people can't understand that, unless you are in WWE, TNA or working a major Japanese promotion, pro wrestling is not real life. If you can't pay your light bill with it, it's not real life.

I've never gotten a ton of heat for my regular job getting in the way, but I HAVE gotten heat for choosing important life events like weddings or what have you. It doesn't happen much anymore, simple because most people that know me, know that I give no fucks. Fortunately, most of the circle I run with do not have that mentality, because they themselves are trying to make a living. Oddly enough, it's more young guys in the business that I meet that think this way.

You whiffed. The UNBREAKABLE analogy for LeBron/Oden was right there and you blew it like Mark Cuban losing out on free agents. You will receive no amnesty during the Mark Cuban Missile Crisis. Also, WTF!!! A GRENADE?!

Lebron's dad.

That's exactly how I felt about it. But we had the option of changing to the other wrestling show back then, and popping back in a few minutes later. Now, most people don't bother tuning back in.

I think it's because people gave a shit about the people on their TV in 1999, so the promos didn't hurt anything.

I'm loving Yujiro updating his gimmick. Complete with a new sexy saxophone entrance music. Dude, Yujiro is the sex. He's been so kingsized in the G1 this year.

Scott & Rick Steiner vs Bret & Owen Hart - WrestleFest '94 A case could probably be made for the Steiners vs. Sting & Luger at Superbrawl '91, which did have a finish but not a clean one. Sting was in the wrong place, at the wrong time, ok?

YOU SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!!

I can't be proud of everything I've done in life lol I'm still surprised that "Global domination" didn't work on Dwight.

I'm pretty sure Monta's pitch was nothing more than "dude, we'll pay you".

But one that he'd likely believe.

Yep, they were definitely pushing that Robin Hood series, and used Nitro to try to grab more viewers for it.

Fuck you, that was amazing Dwight was a fool

As in YETAAYYYYY?!

I hope to be kept abreast of any developments in this angle.

Same here brother lol

On the whole indy draw thing, pretty much anytime you book a local guy who "made it", you're going to get a nice bump. We've booked Hurricane a few times around here, and it always turns out well. Same for some of the other local groups that book the Hardys. Lawler is going to draw in TN, where he may not draw as much elsewhere, and so on. Also, Nikita was spot on when he said that you get local guys as consistent draws, and the big gimmicks will usually draw a very strong crowd.

RVD in ECW was Davey Richards before Davey Richards was Davey Richards. Just replace stiff strikes and headdrops with backflips and cartwheels. At least RVD had something resembling a personality, and knew how to engage his audience.

I've always thought that when they have Raw Roulette, they should have a well-groomed heel end up in a hair vs hair match with a someone who has a shaved head. They haven't done that, have they? Toryumon/DragonGate did a "Loser has to grow their hair out" between two Arai and Yagi. Both had a shaved heads, the pay off was they both had to grow out their hair and the winner got to go back to being shaved. Too bad Genki Horiguchi wasn't in that

I personally would have brought back Slick.
