Does Claudio count?

I think they should do one about the Pacific Northwest/Portland wrestling territory. Although with Don Owen, Buddy Rose, Rip Oliver & Matt Bourne having passed on (not to mention no chance in hell of them talking to Billy Jack Haynes), that only leaves you with Piper and Col. DeBeers to do interviews.
Ventura and Snuka could be interviewed

The first thing you'd have to do or what I would do is totally overhaul the markeeting department and bring in some competate people who have some fucking idea how to promote a company even if at the most basic level like putting up posters promoting local events on telephone polls and inside grocery store windows throughout the surrounding area. Id also spend a pretty penny on local radio ads and TV spots for house shows and upcoming TV Tapings & PPV's. I'd also take an equal amount of time promoting the Fan Access type events held the day before the PPV. You gotta spend money to make money and how do expect people to show up of they don't know your there. I'd make sure my ad campaign was strong Bill Board signs would be a nice touch too.

I've mentioned it before but a documentary focusing on the feud between Tommy Dreamer-Raven could be a very fun & interesting couple of hours. Have Tommy Paul & Raven be the main three who reflect on the feud. Just picking there brains on this very fun and complexly simple rivalry that so many other feuds bulbed off of and was seamlessly always somehow within the main focus of ECW for roughly two and half years. It'd be great to hear from the three men responsible for the feud why they believe the feud has gained such a cult viewership throughout the fued. Also them reliving & revealing how the moments worked. The feud was one of the best ever and in a way so original and innovated to reshaped how feuds in wrestling could be booked. The pretty boy baby face never ever won until the absolutely very last moment (Raven was leaving for ECW Tommy had to win) however you were still super em thrilled in the match and there's is still the possibility Tommy doesn't pull it off which makes the moment Tommy finally does it that much sweeter. Shit you could focus a substantial amount of time on the sub-feuds that spun off of Tommy vs Raven. Joey Beullah Mick Stevie Meanie Gary Wolfe Terry Funk and even guys like CM Punk Dolph & Curt Hawkins that were ECW fans and watching at the time to speak on the feud.

If you want something fun to watch defiantly go with Goldberg I'm still on the first disc, only up to the Hulk title match, however I've had a swell time watching.
The Mongo match is surprising a pretty intense match. Mongo desperately wants to stop this relative newcomers hot streak, to prove he could be just as good of a pro wrestler if not better then a pro football player, keeping up, even seemingly the upper hand ever so briefly. Until he can't keep up anymore with the younger, faster, more aggressive and effortlessly more powerful Bill Goldberg. A Mr. Goldberg who was still very green and had only been on TV for three months the crowd is already indulged in him it's easy to tell he is destined for stardom. Plus there is a very awesome spot where Goldberg spears Mongo off the ring apron through a waiting table in the floor where afterwards there is a brief but audible E-C-Dub chant.

I think your forgetting the breakout hit that was The Hurricane. Helms was over huge in the late summer/fall of 2001. Now that was a lot of fun.For the record, the InVasion PPV was all kinds of awesome. Everything that followed (outside of RVD) was shit, but that initial PPV was the tits.
-
RVD's TNA debut had to be the worst handles piece of shit ever. In many ways, that 10 minute segment sums up TNA perfectly.
-
Hardcore Hak obviously never turned on him..
Speaking of lacklustre debuts. All I remember is him calling out "Bam Bam Baggalow."
-
and I understand wanting to protect The Wall at this point.
The Wall was this close to being pushed as a main eventer. I believe the last week before the Russo/Bischoff reset, they teased The Wall as the new top heel going after Hogan, IIRC.
I still remember The Wall non-selling Hogan's Atomic Legdrop, it was a legit "What the fuck?" moment!
Here is the match, dubbed in French
-
Yeah whenever Flair wrestled in street clothes it was never jeans it was always slacks. I could see Flair not owning a pair of jeans.

The first Impact under DVDMB rule would start off with Karen Jarrett waking up hearing water running so she goes into the bathroom pulls back the shower curtain, Jeff Jarrett is taking a shower. Karen looks distraught so Jeff asks her what's wrong so goes on a big spill about Hogan coming into TNA getting rid of the six sided ring huh TNA let them go Chyna wrestling in 2011 and Chris Sabin becoming TNA champion she then starts crying so Jeff hugs her and reassures her everything will be ok. Then we get the Impact intro video then pyro the goofy camera angles and the six sided ring.

Which wrestling debuts do you think fell flat? I'll start off the thread with Bobby Lashleys debut into TNA he just stands there and points

The Rhodes Brothers should win the titles on Sunday they are so hot right now
-
Randy was so cool, his promo from the 91 Rumble after he attacked Warrior during his match with Slaughter is seriously one of the best promos I've ever heard

Savages voice-over in the Dexter Laboratory in show segment "Dial M For Monkey" as a space wrestler wrestling Monkey was also awesome.

Inspired by the Shows that ended without a proper ending. Which show do you believe should've ended long before it actually.
I will start it off with Scrubs now the intended season finale was pitch perfect JD had finally gotten Cox's approval and all the memorable minor characters throughout the series came back to say goodbye.
Then Scrubs: Med School happened now I understand that this season was technically set up as transition into a proper Scrubs spinoff and the season wasn't out right horrible and had its moments but something was off it wasn't quite the same and after that "Book of Love montage" that ended the last season it never could be the story was over anything after that was half hearted from both the writers and the viewers.

Don't forgot the reveal that the NSA have Santa rigged up and are literally sucking information outta him
-
Speaking of Savage remember when he refused to lose to a gerbil on The Weird Al Show? That is so badass.
-
The Hughleys for the relatively short amount of time it was on TV was actually very good and the fact that the Final two episodes ended with Milsap adjusting to having a four year old daughter I felt the show needed another season and by the way Season 4 ended they most of thought they were getting picked up.

Goddamit that's funny
-
Being that it's October it feels appropriate how cool would a WCW Halloween Havoc anathology featuring every Halloween Javic in there entirety?
-
I'm all for bringing back the six sided ring the King of the mountain match the world x cup all Lockdown matches taking place in a cage the Turkey bowl and all the other fun things that made TNA different from the WWE
Oh and bring back Stone Cold Shark Boy

Best part of the whole thing is it would mean the return of Don West

Tommy Wiseau as the GM of TNA would fuck over all be the final nail in the coffin but goddammit would the fall be a glorious one.
