Because it was one of the first Wrestlemanias that had over a hand full of matches felt like it was put together solely to get guys on the card. Alot of the late 00s early 10s Manias felt the same way with Men's and Women's Battle Royals and MitB matches and Triple threat matches

WWE TV - 3/11 - 3/17/2024 - Chad of Green Gables
Ziggy replied to Dolfan in NYC's topic in WWE PROGRAMMING
Regardless of how terrible Rock will be in the ring ,you know he’s going to try something that he has no business doing or try some type of chain wrestling sequence like that one Big Show vs Kane match on Raw just to impress the crowd. The match will be interesting to watch just from that standpoint alone. -
I wonder how different this list would be with WCW work included in the list. I liked the Triple threat with RVD and Angie. I know WWF had the same formulaic Triple threat matches that rarely lead to anything worth going out your way to see but I remember thinking it was good. Paranoid Austin was the best thing about the Alliance Angle and RVD at that point was the closest to how he was in ECW. The fans really got behind him and how he played off Austin and the Chairs hot by Vince was sick too.

Even during the run with Hogan he was moving around alot. Executing leapfrogs and splashes. I remember being surprised at how mobile he was in those job matches during that run. I've always liked guys like that moving around and doing moves you wouldn't expect and he didn't look like he was dangerous like Mabel was and I enjoyed him too at times. Today you see I higher amount of terrible workers being featured prominently on TV like as Beautiful as she is Because of her cousin, I don't think you have anyone the equivalent of Diesel or Taker in '95 complaining to the office about not working with her because she's hurting people and even more it's probably more of it being not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings but refusing to work with someone. -

It may have been right before everyone came out, Rock said he knew him from College or something about all the way back from the University of Hawaii or I think them both growing up in Hawaii in Rocks Grandparents territory. I remember Rock posting a pic with Khan an theorizing Rock would buy WWE in the middle of the Sale talks. As far as Hunter, if there’s enough plausible deniability of the extent of his knowledge he’ll be fine. If there is any truth to Him and Steph being separated then that might work in his favor even though I’m sure they both would rather kayfabe it if they are separated but that wouldn’t be a big deal to anyone but people in the wrestling bubble. I find it weird how people feel so strongly about it coming out that he knows something. It’s weird to me people feel so strongly on either said of the argument of whether or not he know something. I think a lot is going to come out now in wrestlemania season and even after. I don’t think it will really die down till closer to Election season and I’m sure it’ll pick up again. This isn’t like all the other scandals where it’s talked about for weeks then it’s done. It’s a whole different dynamic with this new corporate structure. -

I remember watching a Chris Hammrick shoot where he talked about how New Jack was actually a good worker. They were actually very close friends and I think Ricky Morton said the same thing about Jack. -
I'm like 3 months behind on BTS lol. I used to be able to run through episodes during work but now that I'm doing call center work that can't happen. A year or so ago he was on Between the Sheets once a month at one point. It's been a minute since I got to hear him on there so I'll have to check this out

Wasn't he supposed to be apart of Team Piper around Starcade 96 after Piper came in? I vaguely remember him being aligned with Piper during a segment after he came in. I remember they used his real name. I was new to WCW in 96 so I hadn't seen his run as the Shark in real time. -
Getting all that work done on your face in your late 30s and 40s do way more damage than good and make you age worse as you get older. Missy , Vince and Flair are the worst examples. Makes me wonder how my generation will be with the BBLs. It’s just not attractive. Missy would look so much better with out any work as she was so pretty in her younger years

Your right about Hall. Imagine if he was clean or atleast had his head on straight enough to not be taken off TV. I mean he even went out his way to put over a Luchadore that wasn't American born like Konnan or Rey. You would think Sean Waltman would have been trying to make a statement. The way he was featured on at the end of his run and not being taken seriously by management. The fact that he got be able to work against cruiserweight and still get to work against main event guys because being paired with Nash and Hall. You would think Waltman a better selection of different guys to work with and just kill it in WCW as opposed to WWF at the time. Hall put way more effort in his WCW run than all the 3 Wolfpac guys atleast when he wasn't completely off the rails

Makes sense but the way Piper speaks on it like both Vince and Hulk wanted Piper to dive for Hulk around that time. It was great for everyone that he didn't. Look at how much Savage was taking clean falls to Hulk early in there run of matches and they were drawing good houses. It's amazing in hindsight that Piper managed to not have to lose to Hulk clean and the fact that it was Hulks first major program on top. I couldn't imagine who ever Cena's first major program refusing to lose clean to Cena. It wouldn't even be a thought to even refuse to lose to Cena. It wouldn't be an an option even today for someone to even refuse to lose to Roman. The only person would be Rock or Obviously Austin if he decided to work.against Roman.

He didn't seem to age much at all relative to his actual age if that's the case because until he actual got sick a few years ago he always seemed to look good for whatever age he was.

I haven’t been watching the TVs, I assumed she got better as a worker being away all that time but she doesn't need to be a better worker in WWE with her persona and style so I couldn't really blame her if she does completely come across washed up. I crowd didn't seem to care about her anyway so I don't blame her

They've built Rhea up so strong since before the Judgement Day formed. I think Becky vs Rhea is a good money match. I wish they went with Bianca vs Rhea at Mania like the kinda teased after the last post Mania Raw. When NXT starts on CW , I wonder how many of them they'll hold off on calling up because of being on the network. They'll likely get people like Becky to work NXT again for a few weeks after they start up.

Is Straton apart of the main roster ? I was most impressed by her. Because Naomi is fresh off returning, I expected more of a reaction from the Audience. That main event dragged on but it was cool to see Rhea main event
